Today we are going to fill you in on the top anti-aging skin care service you need to try today. It’s the most shocking thing when you wake up one day and notice those fine lines and wrinkles starting to form around your eyes. The solution is to fight back. We are all about prevention and using all the best non-surgical anti-aging skin care services available.
At this point in your life, all you might have done is utilize a cleanser, maybe a serum or two and a moisturizer. Sometimes you should step up your game and see an esthetician to find out if you are really doing all you can to fight the signs of aging.
Fillers: As you age you start to lose the volume in your skin because your collagen and elastin starts to lose its presence. This causes your skin to not only sag downward but to have deep smile lines around your mouth. Anti-aging skin care services for this problem would be a filler like Juvederm. It fills in the areas on the face that seem to be lacking volume. The most common places to get filler on the face are the cheekbones, nasal labial folds, and lips. But it can be done on the bridge of the nose, back of the hands, and more.
It’s not the cheapest, quick fix anti-aging treatment around at between $300 and $600 per syringe. But, if you have a special occasion coming up, or just simply like looking younger, fillers will give you that. Just don’t over-do-it; make sure you have a nurse or doctor performing this skin care service. We have two nurse anesthetists on staff that will answer all of your questions to make sure fillers are the right skin care service for you.
Botox: Botox is a must-have beauty treatment if you’re looking for instant wrinkle reduction on the face. Botox works by relaxing the muscles on the face, which in turn lessens your fine lines and wrinkles. It takes about 10 days for your muscles to fully relax and for you to see your results.
The cost for Botox is typically around $12.00 per unit but can go up to as much as $15.00 per unit. This is dependant on where you get your Botox and what Dr. you see. A typical Botox injection for someone in their 20’s and early 30’s is around 20 units while someone who has more prominent fine lines and wrinkles need around 40+.
Chemical Peels: Both AHA and BHA chemical peels help to exfoliate inside the pores and the top layer of skin. For an overall skin refresh, having a chemical peel will not only brighten your skin but will help to shrink pore size and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With that said, doing just one peel isn’t going to give you much in the way of results unless you are doing a deep chemical peel like a Jesner which comes with a week of downtime. Most lunchtime chemical peels that require no downtime should be done in a series of 3 to 6 for the best results.
What you can expect from a chemical peel is a slight tingling of the skin, some redness, and flakiness after a few days. Pricing for a chemical peel varies from spa to spa depending on if you are seeing an aesthetician, or a nurse. In general though, you can expect to pay anywhere from $50.00 to $100.00+ for a single peel and get a reduced price if purchasing a package.
Micro-dermabrasion: Another skin care service that produces immediate results is the Micro-dermabrasion. It helps to slough off dead skin cells from the top layer of skin (the epidermis), which results in smoother and softer skin. What you can expect from anti-aging skin care services such as Microderm is softening of rough skin, smaller pores, and an overall glow. Price points for an exfoliating Microderm treatment will vary depending on the device and where you go. A typical price is anywhere from $50.00 to $100.00 and sometimes more. When you buy it in a package, you generally will get them at a lower cost.
