Anti-Aging Q&A

What does anti-aging mean?

Anti-aging refers to treatments, techniques, and preventive strategies that help slow the signs of aging. As you age, your skin naturally loses the hydration, elasticity, and reparative processes that keep it looking and feeling youthful. 

Aging skin becomes dry and thin, leading to cosmetic concerns, like wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, and serious medical issues, such as rashes, irritation, and skin cancer.

At Salida Dermatology, the experienced dermatology specialists perform numerous anti-aging treatments to protect your skin and restore its youthful vitality.

Who should consider anti-aging treatments?

Anti-aging treatments can target many signs of aging, such as:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Redness and rosacea
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Brown spots
  • Sun damage
  • Actinic keratoses (precancer)
  • Acne scars
  • Sagging skin
  • Thinning hair

Even if you feel satisfied with your skin’s appearance, anti-aging treatments can help prevent damage and slow the signs of aging.

Are there different types of anti-aging treatments?

Salida Dermatology offers multiple anti-aging treatments, including:

 

Genius™ RF microneedling

Genius™ radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines collagen induction therapy with RF energy to rejuvenate the skin. Microneedling uses dozens of thin needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response to produce collagen, while RF energy penetrates the skin to further firm and tighten it.

 

Botox® and Dysport®

Botox and Dysport are popular injectables that soften expression lines, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and glabellar lines (between the eyebrows).

 

Fillers

Fillers are injectable materials that add volume to the skin for a plumper, more youthful appearance. Salida Dermatology uses Juvéderm®, a hyaluronic acid filler, to treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other static wrinkles.

 

Chemical peels

Chemical peels are minimally invasive treatments that resurface the skin by carefully removing its outermost layer (epidermis).

 

Intense pulsed light (IPL)

IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light to target early signs of aging and vascular conditions, such as redness and rosacea.

 

Skin checks

A skin check screens for signs of skin cancer, such as slow-healing lesions and abnormal moles. Annual skin checks can help detect skin cancer when it’s still treatable.

 

Skin cancer treatments

If you have skin cancer, Salida Dermatology offers multiple treatments, including Mohs surgery, to remove these lesions.
