Keeping Your Skin Healthy As You Age
What we can't see in the mirror is an indicator of our skin's future. As one of the most common signs of skin aging, lines, wrinkles and spots may begin to appear in your 20s or 30s and make you look and feel older. With age, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and drier, causing lines and creases.
Guess what's lurking under the surface? Much more damage than you think! The sins of our youth are slowly coming to the surface, so all the lovely, sweet-smelling well-advertised lotions and potions that only scratch the surface will not give you the rejuvenation you need or the smooth lovely skin you crave.
So, what is the answer? Thousands of dollars in lasers, microdermabrasions, micro-needling and other procedures? No. The best bang for your buck is a real scientifically proven medical-grade skincare regimen to stimulate cell turnover and clean the skin from the inside out. Not only will that hasten the shedding of the outer calloused layers but it will start to reveal new skin from within.
Of course, the older you are and the more damage you have under the skin, the more pigment spots, lesions and deep problems may be revealed at first—and you may then need some of the lasers, micro-needling, etc. to treat them. But any treatment or procedure will be more successful and will heal faster in medically treated healthier skin, and the results will be maintained for much longer!
And sun protection? It is never too early or too late to start using a broad-spectrum sunblock every day on your face, neck and decolletage! We love Dr. Bunin's Advanced Anti-Photoaging Sunscreen, filled with antioxidants and powerful hydrators in a beige-colored, non-greasy formula that goes on like a moisturizer and works well as a makeup primer.
At Dr. Lisa Bunin's office and Athena Medspa & Laser Center, we focus on proper skincare first and procedures second. We customize the program to your individual skincare needs. Using the Reveal Camera we will reveal your “skin within” and then create the best plan for you, taking into account your timeline, needs and budget. We utilize only proven medical-grade skincare that has effective, higher-level concentrations of active ingredients, not the “pinch” in cosmetic or over-the-counter or spa products. We offer a complimentary consultation and can show you many before and after photos of our own patients.
Let us help you to have beautiful, healthy skin, outside and in!
