The Top Anti-Ageing Treatments (And When You Should Get Them)

Anti-Ageing treatments are some of the most common in the skincare industry. We spend exorbitant amounts of money on moisturisers, makeup and gimmicks that promise to minimise or completely remove fine lines and wrinkles that come with age. This, along with pigmentation and other ailments of older skin, can be treated through non-surgical means that are far more effective than some products on the market. There is no doubt that these products can help us to look younger temporarily, but they are often not getting to the root of the problem.

As the skin ages, there is a reduction in collagen production. The main focus of anti-ageing treatments is to stimulate the production of collagen in the dermal layer of the skin. This in turn plumps and hydrates from the inside, giving you a younger complexion on the outside. It is a far more permanent and productive fix, and certainly worth the price difference. However, if you consider how many creams, expensive foundations and other items you buy during a year, the price is about the same if not cheaper! Below are listed some of the best anti-ageing skin treatments and how they act to reverse the effects of ageing on the skin.

 

1. Tripollar Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening

During this treatment, the energy is delivered to the surface of the skin, the epidermis, and penetrates deeper through to the dermis. The aim is to stimulate the collagen fibres in the skin to contract and result in instant skin tightening. Collagen fibres are the key structural component of the skin and when heated they are also stimulated to produce new collagen. The elasticity of the skin, which can be lost as we age, is restored. This acts to plump up the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

This is a favoured procedure among clients who wish to minimise the signs of ageing and maintain a youthful appearance. As we age, the skin loses firmness and droops, which is how man wrinkles are created. Another benefit of Tripollar treatment is that it strengthens the smaller face muscles and contours simultaneously. The result is quite astounding. This is why it is so popular, it is so effective in many different ways and helps to get a younger facial appearance beneath the makeup and moisturisers.

 

2. Custom Peels

Many different custom peels help with a wide range of skin concerns, including the signs of ageing. Contrary to popular belief, chemical peels have come a long way in recent decades. There are many different peels to choose from, each utilising a different natural compound to give a particular result.

The peels that would be most beneficial for the signs of ageing are the ascorbic acid, or vitamin C peel, the infusion peels and the glycolic peel. These tend to target skin rejuvenation, pigmentation and fine line and wrinkles. The ascorbic acid peel restores moisture in the skin and lightens and brightens your complexion. It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth, and is suited to absolutely any skin type. The infusion peel is mainly targeted towards the signs of ageing. It focuses on pigmentation, wrinkles and ultra-brightening. It will help with all the skin concerns you may face with ageing skin and leave you feeling fresh. The final peel that may assist with these concerns is the glycolic peel. It acts to improve skin texture, rejuvenate and can also benefit those who suffer from adult acne if you are struggling with this in conjunction.

All of these peels have been proven to work extremely well and are derived from all-natural ingredients so you know that you are not dousing your face in nasty chemicals. Medical grade chemical peels will cause inflammation, but this is to stimulate the generation of new cells and collagen production. This is what gives the plumper, fresher look when the procedure is complete.

 

3. Medical-Grade LED Light Therapy

Light therapy has been proven to help with fine lines and wrinkles. They focus on a range of unique skin concerns to freshen and plump your skin through the use of LED treatments. These procedures have been thoroughly tried and tested to ensure that they are safe and effective in treating skin concerns such as acne, redness, pigmentation, uneven skin tones, wrinkles and signs of ageing. The MediLUX device has been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and emits 5 wavelengths of medical-grade light therapy directly to the skin. It uses 1500 powerful light-emitting diodes to target all your skin concerns in one hit. This treatment is highly effective and once again non-invasive, so you have no downtime post-procedure and you will leave feeling like a whole new you. It helps to create younger-looking skin and targets all the skin issues associated with ageing.
