Skin Transformation - 9 decades of sun damage

It is never too late to rejuvenate your skin however it's the balance of improving skin texture, tone and volume that gives the most natural results.
At different times of our lives, the balanced correction of skin texture, tone and volume will give us youth, beauty and harmony – for a natural younger you.

What is skin texture?
Skin texture refers to the colour and fine wrinkles of skin. Good texture is evenly coloured without any fine wrinkles. Living in Brisbane, UV exposure alters skin texture- fine wrinkles start to develop, more sun spots, age spots, blotchy red skin and red veins appear. Sun damage is also part of skin texture. Even texture evokes youth and beauty. In this case I treated her skin texture with fractional laser resurfacing using the co2 Fraxel system. Co2 Fraxel can give great results with a downtime of only 7 days. I also use other fractional lasers, microneedling, PRP and chemical peels to improve skin texture.


What is skin tone?
Tone refers to how taught your skin. Skin tone refers to laxity, wrinkles, jowl lines, and bags underneath the eyes. Tone also refers to upper eyelid hooding and laxity. As we age, our collagen and ligaments weaken with time. This scaffolding is what holds our skin up, and keeps skin tight and youthful. Skin tone can be improved with either surgical mini face lifts, eyelid surgery, lasers and fillers. In this case skin tone was improved with fractional laser resurfacing and Juvederm fillers.

For mild cases of decreased skin tone, Themage, Pelleve and eMatrix radiofrequency can stimulate collagen and provide a lift. For moderate cases, laser face-lifts can give a marked improvement in skin tone. For severe cases of skin laxity and very poor skin tones, a mini-s face-lift will give beautiful, long lasting but natural results.

What is skin volume?
This is one of the most over looked aspects of the 3 important features of beauty- skin texture, tone and volume. Volume refers to how full your skin is. Fullness is a combination of both fat and volume. As we age, one of the first areas to go is mid facial fat. By improving skin volume, we can significant reverse ageing. Volume replacement should start in the mid 30s- in fact I think dermal fillers are often under utilized, and most patients go for Botox first. Botox is great at preventing wrinkles- fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are best at actively replacing volume.

How can I improve skin volume?
Dermal fillers are the number one method of replacing skin volume. Fillers are safe, and last up to 2 years. They are made of a naturally occurring substance called HA or Hyaluronic Acid. My filler of choice is Juvederm. Lasers can also help with skin volume by stimulating collagen. Collagen tightens and fills the dermal layers of the skin.
