Med Spa Treatments in Your 50s
By Pooja Malik | Published on January 25, 2010 | 0 Comments
When we get into our 50s, obvious signs of aging can give us away. These include a saggy neck, lack of volume in the face, and a constant tired appearance. Dr. Pooja Malik of Mullica Hill Med Spa in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, talks here about the best non-invasive med spa treatments for this age.
In our 50s, we start noticing changes in the deep facial structures, such as collagen loss, which leads to a sagging jawline and loss of elasticity. We get droopy jowls, a turkey neck, and we always look tired. Unless you go for a complete face or neck lift, you might want to invest in other techniques to reverse the signs of aging as much as possible.
Some recommendations would be Retin-A (for wrinkles and to help strengthen the deeper dermal layer of the skin), applying topical vitamin C or other antioxidants, and always making sure to use a good moisturizer at night. It might sound simple, but a regular skin care maintenance routine can work wonders.
Plump It Up
Any type of technique that can plump up the face and give it added volume is recommended for people of this age. Some laser procedures would include Microlaser Peel plus ProFrational Therapy, which is similar to using a CO2 laser, as well as skin tightening procedures to help stimulate the production of collagen.
Lots of times we also begin to notice the neck area, and it may appear that we have a “double chin.” In cases such as these, liposuction is the way to go. Laser hair removal can also be important at this age, as can acne treatments, since hormonal changes can result in new pimples where there were none.
Proper Maintenance
While you will want your skin to look great in your 50s, you will also want it to stay great. That means also having regular exams to make sure that any moles or other skin issues are not changing and becoming cancerous. That’s because in your 50s, you are more susceptible to skin cancer, so make sure your skin stays healthy from the inside out.
People in their 50s are also more prone to depression than when they were younger. While looking youthful, healthy and glowing can help keep depression at bay, make sure that your mental health is in top form as well.
