Your skin in your Fifties

In your 50s, the decline in your skin’s collagen and elasticity will continue. Repetitive facial movements have created fine lines over the years that have turned into deeply etched lines, but that’s where dermal filler can be an effective treatment.

Skin becomes looser, which means that your face, neck and décolletage looking saggy and droopy. You will also be experience structural changes beneath the surface of the outer skin as your fat pads descend downwards and forward.

This can result in your facial shape taking on a squarer appearance and is why treatments should focus on restoring volume and encouraging collagen growth.

This decade is all about repairing, resurfacing and restoring with treatments and products that focus on stimulating collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to lift, tighten, plump and smooth your skin.

Your treatment plan will likely include laser and energy-based treatments like Fraxel, Profound and Ultraformer III that will penetrate the deeper layers of your skin for long-term collagen stimulation and skin tightening.

For a holistic result, your clinic treatments should be supported by an at-home skincare routine that includes rich moisturizers and serums with active ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B5, hyaluronic acid and peptides to encourage skin cell turnover, improve clarity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. You may also consider transitioning to prescription vitamin A that will penetrate more deeply into your skin and achieve a greater result.
