4 Ways to Take Years Off Your Skin Without Surgery
We all get older, and as the years pass, our bodies undergo various changes. One of the issues everyone sees is the changes in their skin.
Wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots are likely to appear as you get older, affecting your confidence and self-esteem. But is surgery the only way to get a youthful glow?
Luckily, there are plenty of other options for younger-looking skin than painful and invasive surgery. With a bit of TLC at home and the fantastic treatments at Flushing Medical Spa in Queens, New York, you can have skin you're proud to show off.
Dr. QiLi Li offers various aesthetic treatments to help you feel your best. She provides nonsurgical options like the Agnes microneedling technology, facial rejuvenation techniques, and the IPL Limelight facial™.
Common signs of aging
Your body begins to age the day you're born, but you only see it once you reach your 40s, 50s, or 60s. However, signs of aging can happen earlier if you don’t care for your skin properly.
Your skin and complexion change significantly as you age, including color, texture, and overall appearance. Various things happen to your skin throughout your life, with the most common being:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Age spots
- Discoloration
- Dull or rough skin
- Crow's feet
- Loss of elasticity
- Decreased volume
- Thin or crepey skin
Even with the best skin care routine and hydration techniques, your skin often encounters these problems. Although there are ways to prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging from occurring sooner, eventually, your skin wears down, and aging creeps up.
Tips to take care of your skin at home
The good news is that you can do plenty of things at home to take care of your skin, no matter your age. The sooner you start, the better off you'll be throughout your life.
Simple daily steps can significantly help your skin look its best. The skin care tips we recommend include:
- Use sunscreen every day
- Moisturize daily
- Use self-tanners
- Quit smoking
- Clean your skin twice daily
- Avoid scrubbing or harsh skin routines
- Drink less alcohol
- Eat a healthy diet
Staying hydrated is another way to keep your skin moisturized and looking crisp and full. Not drinking enough water throughout the day results in dry, lackluster skin that lacks volume.
Sometimes, lifestyle tricks and home remedies aren't enough to keep your skin youthful and glowing, but you don't need surgery to have skin you're proud to show off.
Four nonsurgical treatments for flawless skin
Dr. Li understands the need to feel young again, even through your skin. A youthful complexion and glow help restore your confidence and give you something to show off, no matter your age.
At Flushing Medical Spa, Dr. Li offers various nonsurgical treatment options for issues like sagging skin, wrinkles, and a dull or rough complexion. Four excellent options for skin rejuvenation include:
1. Agnes RF microneedling
The Agnes system utilizes radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate your body to make more collagen and elastin. The procedure is minimally invasive but quickly corrects problems like wrinkles, rough or saggy skin, and smaller pores.
2. IPL Limelight facial
A Limelight facial is another excellent, nonsurgical option for flawless-looking skin. During the procedure, Dr. Li utilizes a device that emits intense pulsed light, which targets your skin's tone and texture. The result is a painless treatment that yields much younger-looking skin and a smoother complexion.
3. Laser Genesis
We also offer the Laser Genesis facial, which uses laser energy in a quick procedure to eliminate common signs of aging. During the procedure, Dr. Li uses quick bursts of laser energy to stimulate collagen and elastin for a long-lasting, youthful glow.
Laser Genesis is a one-stop shop for issues like uneven tone, texture, and fine lines or wrinkles.
4. VI peel
The Vitality Institute peel, or VI peel, is another excellent option that doesn't require surgery but yields impressive results. It's a chemical peel that eliminates the top layers of skin and dermis to reveal flawless skin.
The VI peel is a medium peel that requires specific recovery and downtime, but the results are unlike any other conservative treatment.
