Facelift surgery has not lost its appeal in the years after the advent of non-invasive skin tightening modalities. Dr. Sargent continues to perform hundreds of facial cosmetic procedures each year, and facelifts alone number over 125,000 across the country. Why? Because we like to have greater control over how we age! Why not take advantage of modern facelift techniques to achieve a younger-looking you? If you do, just remember that the facelift is only the first step on your new journey through aging. Here, we will point out how easy it is to add life to your refreshed facial aesthetic.
Add Protection
Your skin needs protection from the environmental factors that age it prematurely. Mainly, it needs protection from harmful UV light. This need not be complicated. At the start of your day, at least 30 minutes before going outdoors, apply SPF 30, broad spectrum sunscreen. Broad spectrum is crucial, and may not be present in SPF moisturizer. Check with your esthetician or physician if you have questions about the right product for your skin.
Add some Zen
Yes, your skin will benefit if you create space for stress management in your life. Stress cuts the telomeres in DNA short. According to research, shorter telomeres translate into shorter cell life, and that equates to premature aging. Maybe you have never thought of yoga or listening to music or engaging in other stress-reducing activities as part of your beauty routine. Now you can.
Add the Necessary TLC
The name of the game when we’re talking about beauty, just as when we talk about stress, is management. What gets managed gets preserved. It’s that simple. There are several spa-like treatments that have been developed to encourage ongoing collagen production. In our Salt Lake City and Bountiful offices, patients can tighten and refine skin with non-invasive radiofrequency treatment. BLT Exilis Ultra is an excellent management tool for men and women who have refreshed their facial aesthetic with a facelift, or who want to postpone the need for this procedure with proactive anti-aging.
Facial aging is a given. Feeling dissatisfied with your aging process doesn’t have to be. Call Sargent Plastic Surgery of Utah to learn more about facial rejuvenation with or without facelift surgery.
