Dry and Aging Skin Condition

Denver and Highlands Ranch, Colorado

Damage to the skin can be acute (photo damage), like a sunburn or it can be chronic (chronic damage), through slow changes in the skin caused by too much exposure to the sun in a lifetime. The changes in the skin’s appearance that results from chronic photo damage can result in photo aging or even skin cancers. Many experts believe that the aging of the skin is associated with the ultra-violet light emanating from the sun.

Sunshine is good for health and contentment but the sun is bad for the skin. Sometimes it feels wonderful to spend time outside or at the beach but this could cause over exposure to the sun. Typically, over their lives most people gain exposure to the sun over short periods outdoors.

People who work outdoors or live in areas that are prone to a lot of sun are clearly at risk. Outdoor activities such as swimming at the beach, skiing, golfing, boating, or gardening can facilitate chronic photo damage.

While sun damage can happen with all skin types those individuals with fair skin are at a higher risk. Tanning, especially, can cause tremendous damage to the skin. Another factor that is responsible for premature aging of the skin is smoking. The skin becomes drier and thin resulting in a frail texture.

Recognizing sun damage early and obtaining the right treatment goes a long toward reversing premature aging and can reduce skin cancer risks. Fortunately, Facial Aesthetics offers a variety of services to help you reduce the effects of sun damage.

Our Matrix Wrinkle Reduction system is a top of the line non-invasive laser treatment that integrates the heat of a laser with cooling effects of elos technology. In this way, Matrix is able to penetrate deep into the dermis and activate collagen production. The result is a noticeably firmer and renewed appearance. 

DOT Laser Technology is great for sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, acne scars, and skin laxity. This treatment is mildly invasive, fast, and more potent than most other laser procedures.

Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation. It removes dead skin cells on the outer most layers of the skin as well as villous or peach fuzz hair. Your skin will then reflect light to give you a natural glow, and will feel and look smoother, supple, and vibrant.

Botox and Dysport both work by immobilizing muscles temporarily reducing lines and furrows.

With Dermal Fillers, we inject a formula into the areas around fine lines and wrinkles which is a popular procedure to address the aging process.
