How Adult Dermatology Addresses the Skin Challenges of Aging
posted: Dec. 03, 2024.
Aging is a normal process of aging, but that doesn't mean you have to take it lying down. For adult dermatology in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, Linden, NJ, and Staten Island, NY, you can bring your aging skin to Dr. Patricia McCormack for the latest treatments to address the challenges of aging skin.
One way to address the challenges of aging skin is to remove the old, dull skin that is hiding the fresher, younger skin underneath. This can be done with microdermabrasion and a chemical peel.
Microdermabrasion
If you have ever used a sander, you have a general idea of what a microdermabrasion treatment does to your skin. It removes the outer layer where all the damage is, exposing the fresh new skin underneath. It removes acne scars, discolored spots, and sun damage. It reduces fine lines and enlarged pores. It also helps to increase collagen, making your skin look years younger.
Chemical peel
Chemical peels come in different strengths, from very light to deep. When you choose to have a deep peel, it can only be done once every few years, and it has a significant recovery time. With a very light or light peel, the depth of the peel is superficial, and the recovery time and results happen quite quickly without downtime. Your dermatologist will discuss the options available to you depending on your skin type and what you want from your peel.
Dermal fillers
Adult dermatology in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, Linden, NJ, and Staten Island, NY can involve fillers. These are used when the signs of aging are significant and there are more than just fine lines. While they are excellent at removing fine lines, they are also good for filling in deeper creases, plumping up the lips, giving fullness back to the cheeks, and removing hollow areas under the eyes. The results are immediate, and you will look natural, just a lot younger. If you want instant gratification, this is the right choice.
Your dermatologist has other options to help you fight aging signs.
