Facial Aging and Rejuvenation – Part 3 – Environmental factors
Facial Rejuvenation San Diego
Laying the foundation for healthy, youthful skin starts with proper diet and regular skin care. However, sometimes environmental factors, such as sun, wind, and pollutants, as well as the normal effects of aging finally take their toll.
When this happens, there are several options to rejuvenate your skin and restore a more youthful appearance. The first is laser resurfacing, or a laser peel. The latest technology used at Del Mar Plastic Surgery is the Fraxel re:pair laser, a CO2 laser that safely tightens the skin, reduces or eliminates wrinkles, and accelerates collagen production, creating softer, smoother, and younger-looking skin. It also treats age spots and irregular pigmentation. The Fraxel laser procedure is performed in the office, and most patients can wear makeup and return to work in 5 to 7 days. The full effects are seen in 2 to 3 months, and with proper on-going skin care, including sunblock, can last for 4 to 5 years.
A consult with Kristi Regina, our certified aesthetician, is a great start. She will discuss simple, effective, and affordable in-office treatments and home care products that we offer at Del Mar Plastic Surgery in San Diego.
In Part 4, we’ll discuss surgical options for facial rejuvenation.
