Tighten Facial Skin

If you want your facial skin to look younger, you may need to do more than just apply moisturizer and stay out of the sun. These are preventative measures, but they're not enough to combat free radicals in the environment and your genetic disposition. Rather than getting a face-lift, there are several non-invasive cosmetic procedures that are highly effective at firming and tightening the face and body.

As we age, our skin loses elasticity. One of the main reasons for this is the slowing of collagen production that comes with time. A treatment like Thermage or Titan employs laser and infrared light to stimulate the growth of new collagen and to repair damaged skin cells from within. These treatments literally reshape the cells just under the surface, causing a more hospitable environment for collagen to form long after these procedures have been completed.

How to Help Facial Skin Look Younger

Most medical spas offer a variety of treatments to make your skin look younger, firmer and tighter. If you're experiencing your first frown lines or worry lines, you might want to consider an injection of Botox. On the other hand, dark spots and discoloration may make you look older than you really are. You may look and feel younger after a chemical peel or a microdermabrasion session. A Restylane injection may be what you need to make your delicate eye area appear younger and firmer. Most Restylane treatments last from six to 12 months, so expect to head back to the medical spa for semi-annual treatments with this option.
