When people consider skin treatments, they often think in terms of beauty and the treatments that will help them attain it.
What they often miss is the fundamental truth: the most beautiful skin is healthy, youthful skin.
Skin rejuvenation involves treatments that work together to create healthier skin and more aesthetically pleasing results.
Whether you’re treating fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, or just improving the dullness of your skin, skin rejuvenation can help. The treatment you choose will depend on your individual requirements and desired outcomes.
Here’s what you need to know about skin rejuvenation:
What is skin rejuvenation?
As we age, our skin begins to lose collagen and the ability to repair itself as effectively as when we were younger.
In fact, recent studies have revealed that our bodies stop producing collagen almost completely by age 50. This results in sagging skin (or crepey skin), the deepening of lines, and skin that appears tired and listless.
Skin rejuvenation techniques use the latest science to reduce the signs of ageing or slow down the process. It essentially steps up where nature begins to slow down, by restoring health and vitality to our skin.
While some people chose dermal fillers to correct imperfections, the truth is, one treatment alone will not achieve maximum results.
A holistic approach to skin care, combining dermal fillers and other skin rejuvenation treatments, is what’s required for best results.
What does skin rejuvenation aim to achieve?
Skin rejuvenation treatments can reduce pore size, improve the quality and quantity of dermal collagen and elastin, tighten the deep connective tissues in the face, and even out superficial blemished such as blotchiness.
Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers can add volume and structural support, as well as reduce lines, and combined with skin rejuvenation treatments, lead to a beautiful, long-lasting and refreshed result.
Some of our specialist fillers not only replace volume but also stimulate collagen resulting in replacement of natural volume and glowing skin.
What are the types of skin rejuvenation treatments?
Bass Coast Skin Doctors offer a range of highly effective skin rejuvenation treatments using state-of-the-art technology. All of our products are approved for use by the TGA (Therapeutics Goods Administration; Department of Health).
Our skin rejuvenation treatments include the following:
Microneedling
Microneedling is a collagen stimulating device, and is very effective in reducing pores, fine lines and scars.
It’s a walk-in-walk-out procedure that involves focusing microneedles into the superficial to deep dermis. This stimulates new collagen growth resulting in plumper, smoother skin with greater luminosity. It is a painless procedure thanks to the use of medical grade topical anaesthetic.
During the procedure, the dermis is stimulated to produce collagen, in much the same way that lifting weights increases muscle mass.
Thread lifting
Thread lifting is a popular, non-surgical way to reposition sagging tissue, particularly on the cheeks, jowls and neck.
Thread lifting provides greater lift than dermal fillers, and is an effective collagen stimulator, which results in healthy-looking, smoother skin.
Medical grade facials and peels
Medical grade facials and peels offered by Bass Coast Skin Doctors include a skincare range, developed by SkinCeuticals, which are scientifically proven to effectively aid skin repair and regeneration.
The powerful anti-ageing serums are specially formulated to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other visible signs of ageing.
Pellevé
Pellevé is a procedure that uses powerful monopolar radiofrequency to gently heat the skin to approximately 40 degrees Celsius, creating instant stimulation of collagen, and resulting in smoother and tighter skin.
Pellevé is the go-to treatment for fine, crepe skin around the eyes and neck, and is a favourite of clients who compare it to the soothing warmth of a hot stone massage.
