Anti-Aging In Your 40s

Yours 40s is when your proactive care in your 20s and 30s pays off! Things are really starting to show up in this age group, particularly if you haven’t been diligent in your care during your younger years. Perimenopause typically starts in your late 40s, so it may be time to address concerns caused by fluctuating hormone levels and other natural changes.

As you age and get busier in your career and family life, don’t neglect finding the time to care for yourself!

Perimenopause

Perimenopause can last up to 10 years and can bring unpleasant symptoms like weight gain, common aging concerns, vaginal discomfort, and a host of other changes. Don’t let this natural change stop you from aging gracefully and staying at home in your body with these suggested treatments:

• Skin Rejuvenation: A variety of lasers and devices can combat dull or dry skin
• Vaginal Rejuvenation: Gain your confidence back by stimulating tissue repair and addressing dryness with ThermiVa
• Reclaim your rich, full head of hair with PRP treatment

Anti-Aging Treatments in Your 40s

Sun spots have appeared, expression lines are ingrained and “you look tired” is becoming a frequently heard comment. Changes to the underlying structure of the skin are really starting to become noticeable at this age, making it a slippery slope of both fixing existing damage and trying to prevent what’s to inevitably come.

Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Jeuveau)

Just like in your 30s, in your 40s you should visit your physician every 3-4 month to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Try getting creative with the areas you treat, like adding in around the mouth for “smokers lines”.

Halo Pro

The Halo Pro uses two different wavelengths, one ablative and one non-ablative. This combination of wavelengths is appropriate for collagen stimulation, uneven or dull texture, pore size and fine lines. After treatment you can expect to have a week of downtime. Fraxel – A more intensive version of the Clear + Brilliant laser, Fraxel is great for pigmentation, pre-cancers, collagen stimulation and pore size. A patient would choose this over the Halo Pro if pigmentation was a main concern. Be prepared for a full week of downtime with some swelling.

*Dr. Cox recommends patients get one intensive laser treatment every 12-18 months like the Fraxel or Halo Pro, then maintain those results with less aggressive treatments, like the Clear + Brilliant or Radiofrequency Microneedling.

RF Microneedling + CoolPeel

The RF Microneedling uses 36 gold-tipped needles to deliver results at 31 different depths in the skin. This treatment stimulates collagen, improves fine lines and helps with skin laxity. The CoolPeel is a laser that uses CO2 technology to deliver an ablative, superficial treatment. When used at the same time, these two treatments work to restore the skin both in the deeper layers, and on the surface.
