The signs of aging always show themselves. Getting older is inevitable and, for some people, it can show up in certain places first, whether due to genetics, lifestyle, or skincare habits. For some people, aging naturally is something to be embraced, but if you’re able to spot those weak points of aging that show prematurely, it may affect your self-confidence. Here, we’re going to look at some of the most common weak points, and what you can do to address them.
Your Cheeks
One of the most common signs of aging happens due to the way that gravity tugs down on parts of the face, often resulting in volume loss which can begin to create a sunken or tired appearance. The loss of fact in the cheeks over the years can create sagging, which can also make smile lines a lot more pronounced. Dermal fillers can help you deal with a wide range of skin problems, restoring volume and improving the contours of your face, creating a more youthful and spirited look as a result.
Your Eyes
The delicate skin around the eyes is one of the first places that typically shows signs of aging, from fine lines to dark circles. The loss of collagen and reduced circulation in these can be treated with options like platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF. Take a look at some PRF under eyes before and after pictures to see how it uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate natural collagen production. Not only can this increase the volume of the skin around the eyes and reduce fine lines without the need for filler, but it works gradually to provide long-term results, as well.
Your Neck And Jawline
As your skin loses its elasticity, sagging skin can become an issue and this is especially prevalent around the neck and jawline, which can cause jowls to appear. There are skincare products that use firming agents that can help slow this process to some degree, but there are also more direct approaches. Aside from surgery to remove excess skin, radiofrequency and ultrasound therapy can help to tighten and lift skin in the area for more gradual, but still effective results.
Your Hands
The hands are often overlooked but can be a giveaway of aging. Loss of collagen and sun exposure cause thinning skin, prominent veins, and age spots. Regular use of sunscreen and hydrating hand creams with retinol or glycolic acid can maintain skin quality. For volume loss, Radiesse or fat grafting are injectable treatments that restore plumpness, while laser treatments reduce pigmentation and improve skin texture. Exfoliating the skin on your hand can help reveal its softer, fresher side, too. Even a natural exfoliating mix of sugar, lemon, and natural oil can do a lot.
Aging affects different parts of the face and body differently, meaning that you need to find specifically targeted treatments for the best possible solutions. Hopefully, the tips above have pointed you in a few directions you can rely on.
