Aesthetic medicine at 40

Skin aging is a normal process that none of us can escape. After the age of 30, skin tissues begin to produce less collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. However, these three substances play a central role in the beauty of the epidermis: they make it toned, firm and smooth. Consequently, when their production by the dermis decreases, the first signs of skin aging begin to appear: wrinkles. In addition, lifestyle is also an important factor when it comes to the epidermis. In fact, it only takes a few bad habits – smoking, alcohol, sun exposure and poor hydration for the skin to suffer. As you can imagine, this gets worse with the normal passage of time. This is why, today, many women in their 40s want to slow down this process and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Rejuvenation treatments for women over 40

Getting younger in your 40s is possible, and it's not as complex as you might think. Indeed, today, thanks to advances in aesthetic medicine techniques, it is possible to reduce the signs of skin aging in no time. In this guide, we will specifically address four treatments that are characterized by their effectiveness and safety:

Hyaluronic acid and Filler

When we talk about facial skin rejuvenation, we almost immediately think of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, and rightly so. Indeed, this treatment guarantees quality, very natural and long-lasting results. The injections are slightly uncomfortable, but the sensation is reduced by applying an anesthetic cream. Fillers, in other words, are minimally invasive for the patient, as there are no contraindications. It is the properties of hyaluronic acid that make this treatment truly effective. This substance, in fact, is capable of smoothing wrinkles thanks to its filling action. The skin immediately appears smoother, firmer and more compact, and the signs of skin aging are considerably reduced.

Microneedling

The third treatment that can be used for skin rejuvenation is needling. This is a technique in which a dermaroller fitted with microneedles is passed over the skin. These needles make micro-injuries that stimulate the dermis to produce more collagen and elastin. In other words, needles can slow down the skin's normal aging process, while helping to reduce wrinkles. The sessions are slightly uncomfortable, but these sensations are mild and short-lived. That is why, even in this case, we are dealing with a treatment that is very minimally invasive for the patient.

Chemical peeling

Finally, we have the chemical peel, a treatment that in some ways is very similar to microdermabrasion. The main difference is the depth of the skin that the chemical peel is able to reach. Acidifying substances, applied in a precise and targeted manner by the aesthetic doctor, are capable of reaching the deep structure of the skin: the dermis. Therefore, the exfoliating action of the treatment does not stop at the superficial layers, which is why the results are visually more impressive. This is why, as we have explained in this guide, chemical peeling is also often used to reduce stretch marks.

Platelet Rich Plasma

Through the action of our own blood cells, the skin will be completely regenerated, new tissues will be produced, and the signs of time will be erased. It's THE anti-aging treatment!

In conclusion

We can say that these five aesthetic medicine treatments are the ones you can refer to when you want to refresh your look. However, each technique responds to a specific situation of patients, who obviously do not always have the same objective.
