Anti-Aging 101: Get Savvy!

Ok, so not everyone has worn sunscreen since the day they turned sixteen. What about those of us who, despite our best efforts, have started to notice those fine lines and wrinkles replacing the once porcelain features of our youth? No worries, there are a ton of ways to send them packing.

Botox

Probably the most popular method for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, Botox is a quick and virtually painless solution. In the time it takes to order and receive your favorite designer coffee, you can be in and out of the office with no down time and back to work without anyone being the wiser.

Cosmetic Fillers

There are those that plump your lips and add volume to sunken cheeks, and there are those that smooth wrinkles around your mouth and nose. At SLEEK we believe in using only the finest products available. Juvederm, Radiesse and Sculptra are the secret weapons of choice. Our treatment consultants are expertly trained to help you decide which filler is best for you.

Non-Invasive Procedures

You’re ready to take the next step, but aren’t quite ready for surgery. Cosmetic procedures have undergone significant technological changes in recent years, leading to a rise in minimally invasive techniques. Laser Skin Resurfacing is one such technique, which uses a carbon dioxide laser to stimulate the formation of new, healthy tissue. Another procedure we love is called a Photo Facial, where a technician uses intense pulsed light to remove brown spots, broken capillaries, or redness. Yet another minimally invasive procedure is called Laser Skin Tightening, where a dual-layer radio frequency tones and tightens the skin and stimulates collagen production. There are many options when it comes to non-invasive procedures, so don’t hesitate to ask one of our SLEEK treatment consultants which would best suit your particular skin type.

Surgical Procedures

You’ve done your research. You’re ready to make a lasting and significant change to your appearance. Cosmetic surgery has grown leaps and bounds in the last several years, with fewer people accepting the fate of growing old gracefully and more people looking to cosmetic surgery to turn back the hands of time. The increase in the number of people having cosmetic surgery has also increased its acceptability in society. Procedures such as eyelid surgery, eyebrow lifts, neck lifts and probably the most well known, facelifts, are performed regularly at our SLEEK surgical locations by skilled aesthetic plastic surgeons.

No matter which procedure suits your individual needs, trust the experts at SLEEK Surgical & MedSpa to help you choose the perfect solution for your anti-aging needs!

Anti-Aging 101: Start Early!

When is the right time to begin an anti-aging skincare regimen? People might think the answer to this question is easy; begin when you start to see wrinkles, right? The truth is, the sooner you start a preventative skincare routine, the fewer products you will need down the road. What do we mean by preventative? Here are a few ways to start practicing preventative skincare today.

Protect Yourself!

That’s right, we mean WEAR SUNSCREEN! And not just any sunscreen, either. Get yourself a broad-spectrum sunscreen that covers both UVA and UVB rays and use it every day. Our SLEEKSkin Defend SPF 30 not only delivers high UV protection, but also contains wrinkle-reducing peptides and green tea anti-oxidant extract. Even the best wrinkle cream can’t undo the damage caused by years of excess UV exposure, so start early and be consistent!

Stay Hydrated!

So, you carry around a bottle of water in your Louis and drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day. Kudos, you’re on the right track. But did you know you can hydrate your body more efficiently by eating foods that hydrate you? Eating fruits and vegetables regularly can not only offer your cells better hydration, but also give you a boost of powerful anti-oxidants to boot.

Using an effective moisturizer is essential in preserving a youthful appearance. We love SLEEKSkin’s Restore, a lightweight lotion with CoQ10 and vitamin E to boost cellular regeneration. It’s light enough to wear under your makeup daily without making you greasy. It’s never too early to start using an effective moisturizer. Add this to your must-have list and maintain that youthful glow for longer!
