Prevention of Wrinkles

Complimentary Consultation

Here are a few simple tips from glow Medi Spa on how to prevent lines and wrinkles:

1. Avoid sun-damage. See section on prevention of sun-damage.
2. Don't smoke. If you do, try earnestly to quit. Smoking ages the skin.
3. Hydrate the skin. Drink a lot of water. Hydration is so important for the skin and it is something we all let slide when we have a busy schedule. Keep a water bottle close at all times. Also, ensure that your skin care products are the right balance for your skin. You may need a skin consultation to help you choose the right products for you.
4. Eat a well-balanced diet and maintain a healthy level of physical activity.
5. Maintain the optimal pH balance for your skin. You may need a skin consultation to help you determine the right balance and right skin care products for your skin. A simple step, such as using a toner after cleansing your skin, can help restore your skin's natural pH balance.
6. Be aware of environmental influences. Pollution and smog predispose the skin to early aging. Free-radicals are harmful to the skin. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C can help fight free-radicals and is an excellent anti-aging serum. Look for formulations that have L-Ascorbic Acid. Vitamin C in a concentration of 10% is great for the face and 5% for around the eyes. If your Vitamin C serum turns brown it means that it has already been oxidized and is no longer effective.  Vitamin E is also excellent at wrinkle prevention.
7. Exfoliate the skin. Dead, sloughed skin laying on the surface of the skin can make the skin look dull and gray. Wrinkles appear more pronounced and the skin lacks luster. A chemical peel or microdermabrasion can exfoliate that dead skin, open up the clogged pores, and allow the skin to breathe. The skin then has a natural healthy glow. If you have broken capillaries on your face, avoid any heavy scrubs in your skin care products. It is best to seek advice from a medical skin care consultant.
8. Prevent dynamic wrinkles. Botox relaxes muscles and prevents wrinkles in the area being treated. It "stops the clock" and is very effective, safe, and simple. Please see the section on Botox for more information.
9. Consider giving your skin a boost by stimulating the collagen.  Fraxel Laser Treatments treat deep beneath the surface of the skin, reducing even deep lines and wrinkles while stimulating the collagen to prevent further wrinkles.  Fraxel Laser is a popular treatment at glow Medi Spa.
10. Share your beauty secrets with a friend.
