Reversing the Signs of Facial Aging by Increasing Skin Collagen Production

Aging skin undergoes several changes resulting in wrinkles and sagging:

•  Thinner skin (loss of collagen)

•  Less elastic skin (loss of elastin)

•  Drier skin (loss of hyaluronic acid)

Facial rejuvenation treatments can be classified in three categories:

1. Resurfacing Options

•  Chemical peels

•  Microdermabrasion

•  Laser resurfacing such as Fraxel, Clear+Brilliant

2. Injectables

•  Wrinkle Relaxers such as Botox & Dysport

•  Traditional fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm

•  Collagen stimulators such as Sculptra Aesthetic

3. Surgery

•  Liposuction

•  Facelift
