With age comes wisdom and undesirable consequences: lines, wrinkles, leathery texture, and a lacklustre complexion. Individuals seeking “skincare treatments near me” in Stoney Creek, Ontario, can restore their youthful and radiant smoothness, glow, tone, softness, and other fundamental signs of skin quality with our array of dermatology services at drs skincare.
From our office in Hamilton, skincare specialists, Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Rahul Shukla, and plastic surgeon, Dr. Jennifer Chuback can improve or eliminate the unwelcome effects associated with “more birthdays.”
Our patients also benefit from the unique expertise of our onsite rheumatologist, Dr. Eva Kovacs. Dr. Kovacs can help us determine if seemingly cosmetic and dermatological concerns are actually rooted in autoimmune or rheumatic diseases. This multi-disciplinary approach helps to support highly accurate diagnostics and, in turn, effective treatment and patient satisfaction.
After the age of 20, skin ages from the inside out. After your teens, the body makes an estimated 1% less of its firming, natural collagen protein annually. Elastin, which gives skin its ability to spring back, also diminishes with age. Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid, beneficial to keeping skin moist and luminous, is also in shorter supply because the body’s sweat and oil glands don’t function as well as they once did.
Environmental and lifestyle factors can also contribute to premature skin aging. The loss of collagen, elastin, and other substances vital to skin health may be exaggerated, producing very deep folds, severe sagging or laxity, and a rough, leathery texture.
While drs skincare cannot stop the clock, we can “reset” it with “anti-aging” treatments and consultative guidance. We will want to get you into a healthy habit of professional skin checks at our office, as well as self-exams. These appointments are critical to detect skin changes that may indicate serious problems, such as skin cancer.
There is no time like now to intervene, heal the skin, and diminish or prevent damage. As needed, prescription or medical-grade medications and products can improve the appearance of everything from late-onset acne to “age spots” and other signs of sun damage.
In the past, anti-aging procedures may have brought to mind facelifts, neck lifts, brow lifts, and other surgical treatments. Today, effective treatments fit patients’ busy lifestyles and are not associated with the risks and downtime of invasive surgeries; for instance, injectable treatments like soft tissue fillers and neuromodulators (such as Sculptra® and Botox®) replenish the collagen, elastin, and other substances that naturally decline over time, and inhibit the muscle contractions responsible for crow’s feet, anger lines, and other expression lines, respectively.
Other modern and advanced treatment methods use everything from Radiofrequency energy (or radio waves) and cooling applied in a controlled manner to tighten sagging skin and trim stubborn fat on the face and body. Even “older” treatments such as laser therapies and chemical peels have advanced to produce dramatic results with minimal risks of side effects, and they are appropriate for a wide range of skin types.
