How Aging Affects Your Skin

Aging skin is characterized by several common concerns, including:

  • Thinning of the Skin: As collagen levels decline, the skin becomes thinner and more prone to damage.

  • Loss of Elasticity: Reduced elastin leads to sagging and less resilient skin.

  • Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The combination of repetitive facial movements, gravity, and weakened skin contributes to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

  • Dryness and Dullness: Aging skin often loses moisture, leading to dryness and a lackluster complexion.

While these changes are a natural part of aging, there are ways to slow down and even reverse some of these effects.

Preventing and Treating Aging Skin

Prevention is the first step in maintaining youthful, healthy skin. A balanced diet, consistent hydration, daily use of mineral sunscreen, and a good moisturizer can help protect your skin from further damage. However, when these measures are no longer enough, professional treatments can make a significant difference in restoring the skin's integrity and youthful appearance. At Ambrosia MD in Ottawa, we offer a range of advanced treatments designed to address the effects of aging by boosting collagen and elastin production. These treatments include:

  • Microneedling (SkinPen®): A minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-punctures in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin.

  • Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): A regenerative treatment that uses your own blood's growth factors to enhance collagen production and accelerate skin repair, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

  • Exosomes (Elevai Exosomes): These tiny, naturally occurring vesicles derived from stem cells enhance the skin's regenerative capacity by delivering powerful signals that stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture and tone.

  • Neurotoxin/Neuromodulator (Botox® / Dysport®): These treatments relax the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing the formation of new ones.
