The best facial treatments after 50 - how to take care of mature skin?

Understanding the needs of mature skin

Mature skin is characterized by greater sensitivity to external factors and a natural weakening of regenerative processes, making its care an important part of caring for its appearance and health. Reduced production of collagen and elastin leads to loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, as well as hyperpigmentation. In order to effectively counteract these changes, it is worth understanding what processes occur in the skin as we age and how to address them.

What is mature skin?

"Mature skin" is a term that refers to skin that has undergone numerous biological and environmental changes over the years. Although the signs of aging can vary, most are due to a decrease in cellular activity and reduced regenerative capacity.

Characteristics of mature skin.

• Loss of elasticity and firmness - reduced collagen and elastin production causes the skin to lose its natural elasticity. As a result, wrinkles, fine lines and sagging appear, especially around the cheeks, neck and chin.
• Hydration disorders - as we age, the skin produces less sebum, causing dryness and loss of natural radiance. Dry skin is more prone to irritation and the deepening of wrinkles.
• Discoloration and uneven skin tone - prolonged exposure to UV radiation and environmental influences lead to the formation of pigment spots, age freckles and uneven skin tone.
• Thin and delicate structure - reducing the thickness of the skin makes it more susceptible to injury, and blood vessels are more visible.
• Slowed regeneration - cell renewal processes are less efficient, leading to longer wound healing times and difficulty in regenerating the skin after irritation.

Treatments for mature skin

Aesthetic medicine offers a wide range of treatments to help improve the condition of mature skin and restore firmness, radiance and a youthful appearance. After the age of 50, skin requires special attention due to reduced production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. For mature skin, a personalized approach that takes into account the patient's specific needs and expected results is key.

In our clinic, each patient can count on a comprehensive consultation, during which experienced specialists will carefully analyze the condition of the skin and select appropriate methods of treatment. Modern technologies, the highest quality preparations and an individual approach make the results of treatments very natural, allowing patients to regain confidence and comfort in everyday life.

Needle mesotherapy

Needle mesotherapy is one of the most effective aesthetic medicine treatments for providing the skin with essential moisturizing, regenerating and nourishing substances. This treatment can be applied to different areas of the body, adapting it to the individual needs of the patient. It involves making a series of precise punctures with a thin needle into the superficial layers of the skin, through which specialized preparations are introduced. Depending on the purpose of the therapy and the condition of the skin, these may include ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, tissue stimulators or growth factors extracted from the patient's blood, which intensively moisturize, nourish and promote regeneration.

The procedure itself is relatively quick and takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Thanks to the use of a topical anesthetic cream, the punctures are virtually painless. After the procedure, the skin may be gently reddened or slightly swollen, and bruising may also occur, but these symptoms usually disappear quickly. The first effects of mesotherapy are visible after just a few days, when the skin becomes more hydrated, radiant and smoother. To achieve optimal results, it is usually recommended to perform a series of treatments, usually at intervals of about 1-2 months. Regular repetition of mesotherapy allows the effects to last longer, restoring the skin's youthful appearance and improving its texture.

Facial massage with endermology 

LPG Alliance Endermologie is an advanced technology that combines the effectiveness of skin care with the relaxing effects of massage. This state-of-the-art treatment not only reduces wrinkles and improves skin firmness, but helps lift the oval of the face, brighten the complexion and give the skin a more youthful appearance. Thanks to mechanical stimulation of the skin , the treatment activates natural regenerative processes and restores its healthy and radiant appearance.

The procedure usually lasts from a dozen to several dozen minutes. It is completely non-invasive and painless, and patients often describe it as a pleasant experience that is both relaxing and restorative. After just one session, you may notice an improvement in skin tone and a nicer skin tone, while a series of treatments, performed at regular intervals, is recommended for full results.

Concentrated ultrasound (HIFU).

This is a modern method to improve skin tone and elasticity. The treatment uses concentrated ultrasound, which reaches deep into the skin, precisely stimulating selected layers of tissue. This results in controlled heating of tissues, which leads to stimulation of collagen and elastin production - proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.

The method is non-invasive, meaning that it requires no anesthesia or recovery period. The patient can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. The process is safe and effective, and the effects of improved skin firmness become visible within a few weeks after the procedure, when collagen begins to regenerate.

The procedure itself takes between 1 and 1.5 hours, depending on the area treated. It can be used on various parts of the body, such as the face, neck, décolleté or shoulders, and is especially recommended for those who want to improve skin tone without surgical intervention.

Laser treatments

Laser treatments are an effective method for those struggling with age-related skin problems such as hyperpigmentation, erythema and loss of firmness. Patients complaining of uneven skin tone and unsightly hyperpigmentation can achieve excellent results thanks to these procedures.

At our clinic, we offer both ablative lasers, which remove superficial layers of the epidermis and require a short recovery period, and non-ablative lasers, which allow you to continue your daily activities without downtime.

Laser treatments effectively reduce hyperpigmentation, erythema, dilated capillaries, as well as fine lines and the visibility of pores. The entire process takes between a dozen and 30 minutes, depending on the type of laser. In most cases, it does not require anesthesia, although we use a topical anesthetic in the form of a cream if necessary.

Chemical peels

Chemical peels are one of the most effective and safest methods of improving the condition of facial skin. They are especially recommended for people with mature skin. With the passage of time, the skin becomes thinner, more sensitive and loses its natural radiance. This type of treatment allows it to revitalize, reduce wrinkles, discoloration and improve elasticity.

Modern chemical peels work on the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface intact. The skin becomes taut, smooth and radiant just a few days after treatment. They can be performed throughout the year, providing visible results in a short period of time. Such treatments often combine the action of powerful antioxidants, vitamins and acids that promote skin regeneration, brighten skin tone and delay the aging process. The result is not only a younger and more radiant appearance, but also an improvement in the overall condition of the skin.

For those looking for solutions with intensive anti-wrinkle effects, peels are particularly recommended, which stimulate cell renewal, smooth wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. After such treatments, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and its tone is evened out, giving it a healthy and radiant appearance. Treatments are selected after consultation with a specialist. 

Tissue stimulators

Tissue stimulators are a modern and highly effective method of regenerating and rejuvenating mature skin. The treatment involves the introduction of a product into the deeper layers of the skin using a thin needle or cannula, thereby stimulating collagen and elastin production, skin cell regeneration and improving skin density and tone. The treatments are excellent for both the face and other areas of the body, including the neck, décolleté or hands.

It is a minimally invasive procedure, performed under local anesthesia, which reduces discomfort. The effects are noticeable after just a few weeks, when the skin begins to regenerate from within. Importantly, tissue stimulator treatments require no recovery time, so the patient can return to daily activities almost immediately after the procedure.
