This decade is all about tightening, strengthening and restoring with treatments and products that focus on stimulating new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production, as well as correcting discolouration and uneven skin tone.
As your skin becomes thinner when you’re in your sixties, it’s important to invest in treatments that aren’t too harsh on your skin. We hear from many clients who’d just like ‘a little bit of a lift’ and so your treatment plan should include cosmetic injectables such as dermal filler to restore lost volume, and thread lift treatments like Collagen Boost or the Paris Lift to help you achieve a more lifted appearance and youthful complexion. When tightening the skin, we often need to address volume loss in the supporting areas, which is why you should choose an experienced clinician who can advise on the correct dose and placement of dermal filler to achieve natural looking results.
Laser and energy-based treatments like Fraxel® and Profound which penetrate the deeper layers of your skin for long-term collagen stimulation and skin plumping are also ideal at this age. We recommend an annual Fraxel, supported by regular Laser Vein treatments to reduce visible veins, redness and pigmentation.
Bio-stimulators are powerful anti-ageing treatments designed to build up your collagen from the inside out and stimulate collagen production inside the skin. This includes treatments, such as Collagen Boost PDO threads, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Collagen Rebuild, the latter of which are often combined together in what’s referred to as the ‘Slow Face Lift’. In the months following treatment, the skin increases in volume and improves in elasticity, with deep lines softening and wrinkles fading. Since the results occur slowly and naturally, it never appears that you had ’work‘ done!
To maintain those hard earned results you achieve in clinic, you should use a prescribed at-home skincare routine that includes daily antioxidants and UV protection to preserve your collagen and elastin, AHAs, BHAs and prescription vitamin A to speed up cellular turnover, and ceramides and vitamin B3 to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
