The Ultimate Guide to Age-Defying Skincare
Maintaining youthful, radiant skin is a lifelong journey. Our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity as we age, which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. However, we can combat these changes with innovative aesthetic treatments and professional skincare advice. At Simply Injectables, your top-notch Rhode Island medical spa, we believe in an age-specific approach to skincare designed to maintain and restore your skin’s health and vitality.
20s: The Age of Prevention
In your 20s, proactive skincare is paramount. Incorporating an SPF 30+ sunscreen into your daily regimen, such as our Elta MD products (priced at around $38), helps to protect your skin from damaging UV rays. We also recommend the use of Tretinoin (retin-a), available for $80 for a 20 gram tube, to help prevent collagen loss. However, it’s important to remember that Tretinoin is photosensitizing and not suitable for women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. For line prevention, consider ‘baby’ Botox treatments, repeated every 3-4 months with minimal dosages of around 28 units.
30s: The Age of Maintenance
Entering your 30s, it’s time to focus on collagen maintenance. We recommend adding Sculptra to your skincare regimen, a treatment known for stimulating collagen production for a natural, youthful appearance. A full-face treatment requires 2 vials and costs $1,500 ($750 per vial) at our Rhode Island medical spa.
40s: The Age of Restoration
As you step into your 40s, your skin requires additional care and restoration. If you haven’t started a skincare routine in your earlier decades, it’s never too late to start. Your Botox dosage might increase to about 40-60 units (costing $440-$660), and although you may only see a 50-60% result from your first treatment, repeated procedures every three months can increase the results to 70-80%.
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Voluma become valuable tools in restoring lost volume during your 40s. These fillers, priced around $2,000-$4,000, create a natural-looking enhancement when used correctly. Treatment areas include the cheeks, chin, jawline, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds. At Simply Injectables, we focus on restoration, not overfilling. Sculptra can also be reintroduced to improve skin elasticity and stimulate collagen production, creating a ‘scaffolding’ effect that supports your skin.
50s: The Age of Rejuvenation
In your 50s, rejuvenation becomes a key focus. While continuing with Botox treatments (40-60 units, costing $440-$660), consider exploring laser treatments or radiofrequency procedures to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and tighten loose skin. These treatments can help address the effects of accumulated sun damage and the natural aging process.
60s: The Age of Regeneration
As you reach your 60s, skincare becomes about regeneration and nourishment. Continue with your established Botox and filler routines, tailoring the treatments to your specific needs. Consider combining treatments with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which utilizes your body’s own growth factors to promote skin rejuvenation and collagen production.
