Prevention Is the Best Medicine

You know how they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?  Well the same goes for your skin!  How you treat your skin now will affect how you look in 5, 10, and 20 years from now.  With that in mind, here are some ways to ensure your skin looks radiant as you age:

  • Use the right skincare!  Make an appointment with our aesthetician to have a skin evaluation and have her prescribe the best skincare regime for you and your skin concerns.
  • Think Botox.  Starting to use Botox before lines and wrinkles become too apparent can actually help prevent deeper lines from forming.  In a recent study of identical twins, it was found that the twin who had Botox treatments over the course of 13 years did not have evident forehead lines, while the untreated twin did have evident forehead lines.  Prevention is key!
  • Reverse your sun damage. IPL treatments can significantly reduce dark spots, freckles and sun damage that have been caused by the summer sun.
  • And of course, don’t forget the sunscreen!
