Photoaging?
How to Treat It?

Overview

Photoaging is visible skin damage caused by prolonged exposure to UV rays from the sun. This type of premature aging manifests as spots, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and rough texture. At our Aesthetic Center, we have a wide variety of treatments to combat photoaging and improve skin quality, restoring a rejuvenated appearance.

Why do I have photoaging and how can it be eliminated?

• Sun exposure: UV rays destroy collagen and elastin, causing wrinkles and flaccidity. Treatments like Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers can smooth wrinkles and restore skin firmness.
• Environmental factors: Pollution and oxidative stress accelerate skin aging. We recommend techniques like chemical peels and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate damaged skin.
• Age: As we age, our skin loses the ability to regenerate effectively. Treatments like Sculptra and Accent Prime radiofrequency are ideal for stimulating collagen production.

What type of treatments exist to improve photoaging?

At our Aesthetic Center, we offer specific treatments to combat photoaging and restore skin luminosity. Among the most notable are:

• Botox: Reduces fine wrinkles caused by sun exposure.
• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Recover lost volume in areas affected by the sun, such as cheekbones and lip contours.
• Chemical Peel: Improves skin texture and tone by eliminating dead cells and stimulating cell regeneration.
• Q-Switch Laser: Effective for treating spots caused by the sun and evening out skin tone.
• Accent Prime Radiofrequency: Stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness in the long term.
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Treats spots, redness, and improves overall skin texture through controlled light emission.

Does photoaging worsen over time?

Yes, photoaging tends to worsen if preventive and corrective measures are not taken. As sun exposure damage continues, the skin loses more collagen and more spots and wrinkles appear. To stop this deterioration, it is essential to apply treatments like Intense Pulsed Light and Radiesse, which not only improve skin appearance but also help prevent further damage.

What types of photoaging are there?

• Sun spots: Dark patches that appear on the skin due to excessive sun exposure.
• Wrinkles and fine lines: Furrows that form on the skin, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, due to collagen loss.
• Flaccidity: Loss of skin firmness, mainly in the neck, jawline, and cheek area.

What results can I expect with the treatments you offer?

With photoaging treatments, you can expect a notable improvement in skin texture, firmness, and tone. Results vary according to the chosen treatment and individual characteristics of each patient. Treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse offer progressive and long-lasting results, while Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate results. Each treatment plan is personalized to guarantee the best experience and satisfaction. You can also opt for Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Q-Switch Laser, ideal for improving spots and evening out skin tone.
