What Does Healthy Aging Skin Look Like

Sep 1

Healthy aging isn’t about trying to stop the aging process — it’s about supporting your skin so it stays healthy, strong and resilient at every stage of life.

While fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, there is much more happening beneath the surface. Over time, collagen and elastin production naturally decline, cell turnover slows, and years of sun exposure can begin to show as changes in pigmentation, redness, texture and hydration.

A proactive approach to skin health can help maintain:

Collagen + elastin for firmness and skin strength
Even tone + texture while addressing accumulated sun damage
A healthy skin barrier for optimal hydration and function
Protection from UV damage that contributes to premature skin aging
Natural facial balance + movement while allowing you to continue looking like yourself

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is one of the most important things you can do to prevent premature skin aging. Pair it with a medical-grade antioxidant, such as Vitamin C, to provide additional protection against environmental stressors and support brighter, healthier-looking skin.

Our recommendation: ISDIN SPF, Skinbetter Science Alto Defense and Repair.

EVERY 3-4 Months: Neuromodulator, if desired
Treatments such as Botox or Daxxify can soften repetitive muscle movement that contributes to expression lines while maintaining natural facial expression and movement.

3–5 TIMES PER YEAR: Support Your Collagen
Microneedling and other collagen-stimulating treatments work with your skin’s natural repair processes to improve texture, firmness, fine lines and overall skin quality. Your ideal treatment and frequency will depend on your skin and individual goals.

SEASONALLY: Evaluate + Correct
Changes in pigmentation, redness, visible vessels and sun damage often become more noticeable after summer. Fall is an ideal time to reassess your skin and develop a customized treatment plan using laser, light-based or resurfacing treatments when appropriate.

Healthy Skin Is a Long-Term Investment
There is no single treatment, product or age when you need to begin.

The best healthy-aging plan is one that is individualized to your skin, your concerns and your goals — combining daily protection and skincare with thoughtfully selected treatments when appropriate.

Whether your goal is prevention, correction or simply maintaining the health of your skin, our aesthetic team can help create a plan designed to evolve with you.
