How Can I Look Younger?

It is inevitable- aging takes a toll on your face no matter how great you treat it daily. From the sun to gravity, signs of aging in the forms or wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, discoloration, and sagging skin start to show and give us an older appearance than we want. Fortunately, technology has come along such a far way there are a variety of procedures and treatments that you can have done to look younger quickly!

Here at Perich Aesthetics we do have our favorites when it comes to which treatments you can choose. See, not all treatments give you the same results- some fade quickly, while others simply look, well, fake! We love the natural beauty that comes from the latest radio frequency treatments that truly make you look younger while no one being any wiser you have had something done.

One of our favorite options is Morpheus8.

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that uses radio frequency energy in combination with microneedling. This means tiny pins penetrate the skin while the radio frequency energy is delivered to depths of 2-4 millimeters (which is predetermined per area) to remodel the collagen below.

This creates a smoother appearance to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, scars, as well as remove facial fat, hanging jowls, and double chin by going deep. Morpheus8 is a great option for contouring to create a younger, slimmer, and sharp effect. It is the most trendy, anti-aging treatment that women and men love. In fact, Morpheus 8 can be used on the body or the face and even under the eyes!

With Morpheus8, you will notice the first visible results within a few days. Typically the most noticeable results appear after three weeks. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment due to the treatment rejuvenating the body to start producing its own collagen more. The microneedling is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen. While the radio frequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen.

As mentioned above, Morpheus8 can actually be used both on the face to make you look younger but also can be used on the body to tighten and tone. The most common area to use Morpheus8 on the body is the abdomen to target that stubborn belly fat. Morpheus8 body can also be used on the following areas:

• Chest

• Arms

• Legs

• Buttocks

The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is common with other resurfacing methods. No matter who you are, Morpheus8 could just be the ticket for you to look younger sooner!

Another option to look younger that we truly love, is Sculptra!

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is an injectable FDA-approved dermal filler for wrinkles and folds on the face that provides a younger appearance. Sculptra® is one of our favorite products since it stimulates the body to produce its own type 1 collagen over time, giving you a permanent result, unlike other fillers which completely dissolves over time.

Sculptra® fights wrinkles and sagging skin and reduces fine lines for a more youthful appearance. What’s really Interesting is that you will see the best results eight weeks after initial treatment as the body ramps up production of collagen in that area.

Sculptra® contains PLLA, which acts as a collagen stimulator, helping to gradually restore fullness to facial wrinkles and folds. This results in a softer and more youthful appearance that is natural looking and not obvious to others. Collagen is a natural skin protein that is present in large quantities when you are younger but declines as you age. It is responsible for keeping the skin firm and plump.

Facial wrinkles and folds, smile lines and other wrinkles around the nose and mouth, as well as chin wrinkles all diminish in their appearance when you have a Sculptra® treatment. In addition to these facial areas that Sculptra® is designed for, it has many off-label uses, including nonsurgical butt lift or buttock augmentation, correction of cellulite, creating definition, and the look of extra muscle mass on the glutes, thighs, biceps, triceps, pectorals.

Sculptra® is not recommended for use on the eyes or the lips however. As you can see, there are many uses with Sculptra® that can help to make you look younger.

Both Morpheus8 and Sculptra® can be fabulous solutions to giving you that youthful appearance that time has faded.
