Looking younger than your age is not given to everyone. Signs of aging are more visible in some people than in others. Depending on genetic predisposition and lifestyle (smoking, stress levels, sleep quality), the effects of aging on the skin and body may appear more pronounced and/or earlier. Yet time leaves its mark on everyone in the same way: the appearance of wrinkles, a body that loses firmness and tone, skin that is less smooth and lacks Skin Radiance. How can we age well? Several anti-aging aesthetic medicine techniques have been developed to effectively combat the undesirable effects of time. Here are three areas where intervention is possible.
Aging is frequently accompanied by weight gain. Between the ages of 20 and 50, women gain an average of 7.5 kilos. In addition to increased sedentary behavior or reduced physical activity, this phenomenon is explained by a change in basal metabolism. Muscle mass decreases, and the body becomes less efficient at processing fats and sugars. As a result, fat cells are stored in strategic areas. In women, menopause causes a drop in estrogen levels, accelerating muscle loss and weight gain. Moreover, menopause changes how fat is distributed in the body. Fat cells first accumulate in the abdominal area, whereas in younger women, the thighs and buttocks are more commonly affected. Doctors call this process “abdominal obesity” or “android obesity.” The body appears less slender and lean, the figure becomes heavier, and the waist is less defined. If these love handles are a source of discomfort, cryolipolysis is a solution to make them disappear. This medical procedure involves exposing the targeted area to extreme cold to destroy fat cells. Non-invasive and performed without surgery, Si ces poignées d’amour vous complexent, la cryolipolysis allows for long-lasting belly fat loss.
Wrinkles are the most visible signs of aging. As a general rule, and inevitably, the first expression lines appear around age thirty, around the eyes or mouth, on the neck and décolleté. The cause? As we age, skin regeneration slows down, cells renew less frequently, and the dermis loses elasticity and firmness. The complexion loses its glow, and the face becomes marked with wrinkles and fine lines. Sun exposure, smoking, stress, lack of sleep, and poor nutrition all contribute to premature skin aging. The hormonal drop affects collagen and elastin production, two substances essential to the beauty and health of the skin.
For many years, patients have had access to several proven aesthetic medicine procedures to smooth wrinkles caused by aging. Hyaluronic acid injections—specifically Restylane Skin Booster—can be used as a preventive treatment to delay the appearance of early wrinkles or as a corrective treatment for more mature skin. Injected into the mid-dermis, Restylane Skin Booster deeply hydrates the skin.
Beyond forehead wrinkles filling, lip or chin enhancement, if you are looking for a global approach to rejuvenate the face, opt for the “baby face” effect.
