Recently, Dr. Rowe provided insights into the latest methods for tackling signs of aging and sun damage.
Understanding Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, a popular cosmetic procedure, involves the removal of excess skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This surgery may also include the removal or addition of fat, depending on the patient’s needs. Candidates for this procedure are typically those who have noticeable sagging or puffiness around their eyes, giving them a fatigued appearance. For less severe cases, laser treatments can often address minor skin excess and delay the need for more invasive surgery.
Laser Skin Resurfacing for Sun Damage
For those who have spent considerable time in the sun, laser skin resurfacing offers a solution to reverse sun damage. This technique involves ablating either the entire or part of the upper skin layer. The skin then regenerates from the deeper dermal layer, resulting in a smoother, less wrinkled appearance. Additionally, certain lasers stimulate collagen production beneath the skin’s surface, contributing to a more youthful look.
Effective ‘Lunchtime’ Treatments
Dr. Rowe advocates for microneedling as a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment. This procedure creates tiny punctures in the skin, prompting collagen production and reducing wrinkles. Following microneedling, applying nutrient-rich skincare products enhances absorption and skin health.
Restoring Radiance After Summer
As summer ends, Dr. Rowe recommends aggressive treatments to restore skin radiance. This may include a combination of microneedling, laser treatments, Retin-A, and various acid peels to rejuvenate the skin and address seasonal dullness.
Topical Alternatives to Injections
For those seeking non-invasive options, Dr. Rowe notes that topical treatments, particularly retinol, can offer benefits similar to needle injections. Retinol, used consistently, improves skin color, texture, and overall quality, making it a popular choice as the seasons change.
Dr. Rowe’s expert advice underscores the variety of modern treatments available for maintaining youthful, radiant skin throughout the year.
