As the human body ages, collagen production and elastin begin to decline. This results in fine lines, wrinkles, dull appearance and other skin imperfections. Eating a healthy diet and staying hydrated can go a long way but there are extra measures we can take when combating the effects of aging.
Effective Anti-Aging Treatments
PRP Facial
The PRP Facial utilizes Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP, to rejuvenate damaged cells and tissue within the skin. The centrifuge process helps separate the blood components so that we can access the growth factors from your own PRP. It also allows us to create a natural filler by separating your platelet poor plasma (PPP).
Also known as “liquid gold”, the PPP acts as a natural filler that will fill in fine lines and add volume to the face. After using a local anesthetic to numb the area, the practitioner will then take the PRP and inject it back into the skin where the PRP can penetrate the dermis and activate collagen production.
By stimulating dormant cells and tissues, this process can rejuvenate the appearance of the skin and alleviate various skin imperfections. For patients that are over 40 years old, we recommend adding exosome cells to the mix to provide longer-lasting anti-aging results.
The PRP Facial treatments can be used to treat:
- Acne scarring
- Crow’s feet
- Dark under-eye circles
- Fine lines around the mouth
SkinPen
SkinPen is the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA. It is clinically proven to treat facial acne scars safely. The SkinPen treatment creates micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural healing process.
The wound-repair process consists of three phases:
- Inflammation: The micro-injuries created by the SkinPen trigger your immune system to disinfect the wounds and increase blood flow
- Proliferation: The wound is rebuilt with new cells and a new network of blood vessels develops
- Remodeling: New tissue and blood vessels replace the wound
The SkinPen treatment has been proven to be effective and ninety percent of test subjects in the clinical trial would recommend it to family and friends! At Tampa Rejuvenation, we can combine PRP and SkinPen treatments to further anti-aging results. Most patients will see improvement after one treatment but a series of treatments is typically recommended in order to achieve optimal results.
Hormone Replacement
For both men and women, hormone levels decrease with age, which can affect your emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.
Common symptoms of a hormonal imbalance may include:
- Weight Gain
- Decreased Libido
- Mood Swings
- Foggy Thinking
- Loss of Muscle Mass
We can’t stop ourselves from getting older but luckily we can combat the negative effects of aging. After a simple blood test, our practitioners will examine your hormone levels and come up with an individualized treatment plan. Bio-identical hormones can be administered as sublingual, creams, injections, or pellets depending on your lifestyle and preferences. In a few short weeks, your hormone levels will be restored and you’ll be looking and feeling your best!
Vitamins
Certain key vitamins are essential to keeping away skin imperfections such as acne, scarring, and dark spots.
Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant that we all need in our bodies. Vitamin C can help boost the immune system, reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease and can improve collagen formation. It can help repair skin that has been damaged by the sun as well as prevent free radicals from doing their damage.
Vitamin E is very similar to Vitamin C in the fact that it can prevent free radical damage and stop wrinkles and skin discoloration. Getting these vitamins through diet alone can sometimes be difficult but thankfully we offer weekly vitamin injections in any of our Tampa Rejuvenation clinics!
Glutathione is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants. Maintaining healthy levels of Glutathione is important when fighting the negative effects of aging. It can help detoxify the liver, control inflammation, and reduces oxidative stress. Glutathione can help prevent cellular damage from free radicals which can be introduced into our bodies through air pollution, cigarettes, poor diet, or chemicals. The way it works to detoxify the skin can help prevent acne, wrinkles, scarring and maintain that young, glowing skin.
Avoid Surgery
Anti-aging surgeries can often lead to complications, side effects, and extensive downtime. Common risks associated with plastic surgery can include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and tissue damage.
These types of treatments can be extremely expensive with no guarantee of results. You can end up spending thousands of dollars on surgery and also lose money from skipping work to recover for a few days. Plastic surgery has also shown to be addictive to certain patients, especially those who don’t like their results the first time. In fact, a study done by the Aesthetic Surgery Institute found that 31% of facelift patients were disappointed in the results of their surgeries.
