Top Signs of Aging and How to Eliminate Them

It’s unfortunate that after our early twenties (before we even appreciate youthful skin) our skin is already beginning to lose its integrity. Fine lines may have you avoiding the mirror, and dull skin might have you casting dirty looks at your brightening serums.

Not everyone experiences every sign of aging right away, but the top signs of aging (or as we like to call them, the “seven deadly signs” of aging) include…

• LINES
• FATIGUE
• DULLNESS
• SPOTS
• ROUGHNESS
• PORES
• SAGGING

• 

Why is My Skin Aging?

It’s easy to say, “I wash my makeup off at night, wear sunscreen at the beach, and use a good moisturizer. WHY is this happening to my skin?” Some factors that contribute to aging are…

• UV rays
• Pollution
• Smoking
• Stress
• Medication
• Dry climate
• Alcohol consumption
• Genetics

While you can minimize aging to a degree, you’ll need some more powerful weapons than a few topical creams to maintain glowing skin.

How to Fight Back Against the Top Signs of Aging

The good news is, there are plenty of different ways to wage war on aging. Let’s talk about some ways you can treat each of the 7 deadly signs:

LINES

Fine lines or deep wrinkles are the most noticeable signs of aging. Beginning in your early twenties, your levels of collagen tend to decrease about 1% each year, meaning the skin becomes lax and wrinkles start to form. Whether you get crow’s feet, forehead lines, or lines between the eyebrows, it’s better to act sooner than later.
Some of the most effective treatments to reduce and prevent fine lines include Botox and dermal fillers. If you’re not interested in injectables, patients also see amazing results from their CO2 CoolPeel® or laser resurfacing sessions.

FATIGUE

Not only do we feel a little more tired with each passing year, but our skin looks a little more tired, too. You may notice dark circles, puffy eyes, or a dry complexion. Besides eating well, drinking water, and taking multivitamins, you might try micro-needling to help revive your skin to its initial bounciness.

In addition, an immediate solution to dark, tired eyes is under eye filler. Not only will your eyes instantly look brighter and awake, but they will look more youthful too — with less lines and wrinkles!

However, If you are not ready for filler, try PRP, or Plasma rich platelets, where your own cells can restore brightness.

DULLNESS

Remember when your skin was dewy and glowing, even without makeup? As we age, cellular regeneration slows significantly, and the skin renews itself less often. This may leave the skin looking bland, grayish, or washed-out.

You can freshen up your skin with exfoliation or Vitamin C serums. However, a chemical peel or laser treatment will give you more significant results.

SPOTS

A lot of us can blame imperfect skin on our skin tone. Age spots, acne scars, blood vessels, and general discoloration can make the face appear older.

An intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser treatment can work wonders in ridding the spots and marks we get from the sun and other sources of damage.

ROUGHNESS

Skin that was once baby-smooth becomes bumpy as cell turnover slows down. You can clean out the accumulation of dead skin cells with chemical exfoliation, laser skin resurfacing treatments, and diligent moisturizing.

PORES

As we age, the skin begins to stretch and thicken, which makes pores appear larger. If you feel like your pores are too noticeable, ask your G Spa provider about micro-needling.

SAGGING

One of the most annoying parts of aging is saggy skin. Gravity drags our skin down over the years, but Microneedling with Radiofrequency, dermal fillers, or even the CoolPeel® can assist in tightening and lifting lax skin.
