Everyone ages. However, by paying attention to your skin, you can make sure it remains tight, smooth, and glowing for an overall youthful appearance. The guide below discusses five of the most common anti-aging procedures your local medical spa can offer you. 

What Are Popular Anti-Aging Treatments?

1. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion scrubs your skin with small particles to remove the outer layer and encourage new skin growth. Some people may only need one session, but others could require more. The procedure is not painful, but it can cause some discomfort, minor scabbing and swelling, or reddened skin.

2. Laser Skin Resurfacing

This treatment involves the use of a special laser. The high-intensity light stimulates new cell growth and tightens any loose skin. The result is a smooth, younger-looking appearance that does not need a lot of time to heal but may require more than one treatment. Some patients may experience redness, peeling, or scabbing. 

3. Chemical Peels

During a chemical peel session, a doctor at a medical spa will use an acid mask to peel away the outer layer of the skin to encourage even-colored regrowth. There are different types of peels; your provider will discuss which one might be best for you depending on your needs. After the treatment, you should wear sunscreen to protect your face against the sun for at least one week, as the skin will be vulnerable during this time. 

4. Botox® 

Botox® works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles in the area it is applied through an injection. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines. There is no healing time for this cosmetic procedure, but it can take a few weeks for the patient to see the results. Botox injections can last from three to six months, depending on how frequently the patient visits their medical spa. 

5. Derma Fillers 

Derma fillers are made up of collagen, hyaluronic acid, or fat. They are injected by a doctor using a needle and work to fill out wrinkles and lines on the skin. No recovery time is needed for this treatment, and you will notice a difference immediately. Fillers can last anywhere from two months to a year, depending on the type of filler. Collagen will last the shortest time, while fat derma fillers can last up to three years.
