Aging is a natural part of life, but the signs of aging can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. However, at BeachGlo Aesthetics, we offer a number of wrinkle treatments in Nags Head to help you age confidently.
Here, we’ll talk about each of our wrinkle treatments, how they address wrinkles, and which might be the best option for you based on your individual needs.
Types of Wrinkles
Before learning how to correct your wrinkles, you’ll need to know the 2 different types of wrinkles you can have.
Dynamic
Dynamic wrinkles only appear when you make your natural facial expressions, like smiling or frowning. This is because the repeated contraction and relaxation of your facial muscles can cause temporary creases, or wrinkles, within the skin that sits on top of them.
Static
Static wrinkles are caused by increased skin laxity. Our skin has a certain elasticity, or “stretchiness,” to it. But over time, your skin naturally loses that elasticity. If you smoke, drink regularly, or don’t protect your skin from the sun, you lose your skin elasticity more quickly. This will create wrinkles, loss of volume, and sagging skin.
Our Wrinkle Solutions
Whether you’re wanting to address static wrinkles, dynamic wrinkles, or both, our providers will gladly help you find the best wrinkle treatments in Nags Head for your unique needs.
Emface
Emface is a noninvasive treatment that combines radiofrequency and HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) energies to reverse wrinkles and rebuild facial volume.
The radiofrequency delivers thermal energy, or heat, into your dermis and epidermis, which stimulates your body’s healing response to increase your collagen and elastin. These two proteins work to repair and strengthen your skin’s cellular structure, improving your skin’s elasticity and water retention.
Meanwhile, the HIFES energy delivers small electrical currents to the muscles within your face, contracting them thousands of times to help build muscle and restore facial volume lost to age. Together with radiofrequency, the HIFES energy in Emface helps lift your features and improve your skin texture for a more youthful complexion.
HydraFacial
As one of our most popular treatments, the HydraFacial delivers medical-grade cleansing that is safe for even the most sensitive skin types. The unique Vortex-Fusion technology can effectively exfoliate the skin while driving ingredients deep to deliver the best results for your complexion.
One common cause for static wrinkles is our skin’s inability to retain water as we age. Since it specifically focuses on hydration, the HydraFacial can improve your skin’s water retention, which can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
VI Peel
As another of the popular wrinkle treatments in Nags Head, the VI Peel uses a unique combination of chemical compounds to cause the uppermost layer of your skin to peel away. This encourages your body to increase collagen and elastin production, which will work to repair and strengthen the cellular structure of your skin. Those new proteins will improve both skin texture and tone for a younger, brighter complexion.
CoolPeel
The CoolPeel laser offers both an effective laser treatment that removes damaged and dead skin cells to reveal healthier, younger-looking skin. The laser also causes your body to believe it’s been injured to stimulate increased collagen and elastin production. This helps create renewed skin while prioritizing your comfort during treatment.
Exion RF Microneedling
Exion RF microneedling is a revolutionary skin treatment that can target a multitude of skin concerns on both the face and body. It combines radiofrequency energy and traditional microneedling to create “micro-injuries” in your skin and stimulate your body’s healing response. During healing, your body increases your natural production of collagen and elastin, making your skin more tight, even, and smooth than before.
The Exion microneedling treatment for your body can also help with pockets of stubborn fat. On treatment areas like your arms and legs, Exion can heal skin while using the radiofrequency to destroy fat cells under the skin, creating a slimmer and more sculpted figure.
Exion is also popular because it is compatible with many other skin rejuvenation treatments like CoolPeel, Hydrafacial, and more. This multiples the benefits for your skin even further, helping you feel more confident in your skin.
Exion Skin Tightening
Exion skin tightening is a noninvasive skin tightening treatment that combines radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound to increase your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Both radiofrequency and ultrasound use thermal energy to stimulate your body’s healing response, which will restructure your skin from the inside out. This means over time, you’ll notice smoother, younger-looking skin.
Fillers
As one of our popular static wrinkle treatments in Nags Head, dermal fillers can be used to restore volume and lift sagging skin. Our providers are expertly trained in administering filler injections, ensuring you achieve effective and safe results. They target specific areas of your face and place hyaluronic-based filler into your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance within your body. It helps maintain moisture within your skin and supports collagen and elastin production. Not only do fillers restore lost volume for a more youthful appearance, they strengthen and improve your skin’s cellular structure to smooth wrinkles from within.
Wrinkle Relaxers
Wrinkle relaxers make up more of the popular wrinkle treatments in Nags Head. These injections use a small, refined dose of a neurotoxin called Botulinum A to temporarily prevent movement within your facial muscles. Our injectors are specially trained to target very small, specific muscles within your face, so you can reverse and prevent dynamic wrinkles without harming your ability to make your natural facial expressions.
Wrinkle relaxers also help increase your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which help to improve your skin’s cellular integrity and maintain your results for longer.
Compatible Treatments
What makes many of these skin rejuvenation treatments popular is that they can be combined with other treatments to enhance and multiply the benefits for your skin. Whether you’re wanting to combine Exion and CoolPeel or Wrinkle Relaxers and Hydrafacial, our team can help you create the perfect combination of treatments for your needs during your personal consultation.
Why Do Wrinkles Form?
There are many reasons wrinkles can form, and much of the time, wrinkles are caused by multiple different factors working together. However, here are the most common causes for wrinkles that we can improve with our wrinkle treatments in Nag Head.
Genetics
Your family history can play an important role in the development of wrinkles. Understanding the average age your family members begin developing wrinkles and the rate their skin loses elasticity can help you determine when you can expect to start developing wrinkles.
Age
Your body decreases your natural production of collagen 1% each year after the age of 20. This causes your skin to lose elasticity and its ability to retain water, both key factors that keep your skin looking smooth and refreshed. As those diminish, your skin can sag and form both fine lines and wrinkles.
Repeated Facial Expressions
As skin ages, it loses its flexibility, or its ability to “bounce back” after making certain facial expressions. When you make repeated facial expressions like squinting, smiling, or frowning, they create tiny grooves that form underneath the surface of your skin. As your skin begins to sag over time, these can become a lasting feature on the face.
Diet
Having a balanced diet and staying hydrated also play a large role in your skin’s health. When visiting our team, we first suggest cutting out greasy, fatty foods and creating a balanced diet that focuses on eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water. We also suggest taking a probiotic, as gut health impacts your complexion.
Habits
Excessive smoking and drinking can also cause your skin to lose elasticity more quickly. That is because these activities dehydrate your skin, and affect your skin’s ability to absorb and maintain moisture, so wrinkles develop sooner.
UV Radiation
Our exposure to UV radiation typically comes from direct sunlight, but can also be from other artificial sources, like tanning beds and black lights. UV radiation breaks down elastin fibers, causing the skin to lose strength and elasticity. Not only does lack of elasticity lead you to develop wrinkles and fine lines, extended UV exposure can lead to concerns like sun spots, freckles, or even skin cancer.
The Importance of Skincare
Along with our wrinkle treatments in Nags Head, our providers also recommend using regular skincare products to enhance and strengthen your skin. Skincare is essential to maintaining healthy skin—think of it like going to the dentist. Your wrinkle treatments are like your regular check-ups, where your provider can ensure your skin is healthy and provide a deep cleaning. At-home skin care is like brushing your teeth, where you take the time every day to properly care for and clean your skin.
At BeachGlo, we offer personalized skin care consultations to help you find the products to help you maintain the results of your wrinkle treatment in Nags Head. We can address specific concerns and find the best products to complement your treatments.
