What are anti-aging therapies?

Your dermatologist uses anti-aging therapies to combat the natural damage your skin takes over time. These may include laser treatments, microneedling, or neuromodulators like Botox®, but there are also plenty of ways you can take the process into your own hands with dermatologist-recommended skin care products.

These usually take the form of serums or creams, and Dr. Onwudiwe’s extensive knowledge ensures you access to the most effective treatments.

What anti-aging skin care is right for me?

Cutis Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics can make it simple to find the right products for your skin and aesthetic concerns. Dr. Onwudiwe will examine your skin and discuss your goals to ensure recommendations that meet your needs. These may include therapies with particularly powerful main ingredients, such as:

• Retinoids to promote cell turnover and the production of collagen
• Antioxidants to prevent skin damage on a cellular level
• Hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate the skin
• Vitamin C to promote radiant, hydrated skin with reduced wrinkling

Dr. Onwudiwe can also help you find cleansers that do not over-dry your skin. Having the advice of a dermatologist can save you significant time and cost by making sure you are not only using effective products but also that you are not using more products than you actually need.

How can I make anti-aging therapies the most effective?

One of the best anti-aging therapies you can use every day is sunscreen. Cutis Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics can recommend an SPF of at least 30 for daily use. Sun exposure can damage your skin and cause it to age and sag prematurely. Applying a moisturizing sunscreen every morning keeps your face and body protected.

Lifestyle choices also go a long way, in addition to dermatologist-delivered treatments like facials and chemical peels and high-quality skin care products. You can keep your skin healthy and youthful by doing the following.

Exercising regularly

Exercise increases circulation throughout your body, and this has a positive impact on your skin’s health. It also removes toxins and helps you manage stress.

Healthy diet and hydration

Getting proper nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, and vitamins, helps your skin maintain a youthful glow. Drinking enough water also helps keep your skin plump and moisturized.
