What Causes An Aging Chest?
The aging of the chest area, often referred to as décolletage, can be attributed to a combination of factors, with a significant role played by the gradual decrease in essential proteins like collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen and elastin are vital components that provide structure, elasticity, and firmness to the skin. As we age, the body's production of these proteins naturally declines, leading to skin integrity and resilience loss.
In addition to the natural aging process, external factors can expedite the aging of the chest. Sun exposure is a primary culprit, as UV rays can damage collagen and elastin fibres, causing premature wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity. Lifestyle choices also play a role; smoking, for instance, accelerates the aging process by impeding blood flow to the skin and reducing the skin's ability to heal itself.
What Are The Aging Chest Solutions At MD Skin Lab?
At MD Skin Lab, we understand that every person's skin is unique and requires personalized attention. That's why we offer various treatments tailored to address individual skin needs.
Lumecca IPL
Lumecca IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, offers a comprehensive solution for rejuvenating an aging chest. This advanced treatment targets common concerns associated with chest aging, such as sun damage and age spots, by breaking down excess melanin and promoting a more even skin tone. Additionally, Lumecca stimulates collagen production, addressing skin laxity and wrinkles for improved elasticity and a smoother texture. It can effectively reduce redness and visible blood vessels, benefitting conditions like rosacea. Furthermore, Lumecca can minimize pore size, contributing to a refined and youthful chest appearance. Overall, Lumecca IPL provides an excellent, safe approach to chest rejuvenation, enhancing vitality and radiance.
Hydraglow Body Treatment
Experience the ultimate Hydraglow Body Treatment, which combines several techniques to give you radiant skin. Our skilled aestheticians use various methods such as hydration, exfoliation, extractions, and a lymphatic massage to achieve a beautiful glow. We use only the best products from SkinCeuticals and Vivier to enhance your experience. The Hydraglow body treatment is beneficial for hydrating your skin and giving it a glow and is ideal for addressing several skin concerns, including the chest. These can include pore congestion, dull or tired-looking skin, uneven skin tone, acne, or blemishes. Also, the treatment can reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and promote radiance for rejuvenated skin on your chest.
Microneedling
Microneedling with SkinPen involves using small, sanitized needles to create micro-injuries on the skin. This stimulates the body's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. These two elements are essential in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity, improving its overall quality and giving it a youthful glow on the chest. We recommend multiple treatments to see results.
PRP Microneedling
PRP Microneedling is an excellent non-surgical procedure to give your skin a youthful look. Our team of expert aestheticians uses the SkinPen device, which is Health Canada and FDA-approved. Using your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) specifically targets certain skin depths, promoting collagen production, aiding in tissue repair, and boosting your body's natural healing process. The result? A healthy chest that looks and feels great! And the best part? This treatment is both safe and highly effective.
Morpheus 8/ Radiofrequency Microneedling
If you're looking for a skin treatment that's safe for all skin types, Morpheus8 is a great option. Unlike other treatments that target pigment, this treatment is less risky. It uses a modern device that delivers Radio-Frequency (RF) heat energy to the deeper layer of skin, called the dermis, through small silicone-plated needles placed at short intervals. These needles are designed to cause minimal damage to the skin's surface while delivering RF energy deep into the dermis without affecting pigment cells. The skin becomes firmer and tighter over time with increased collagen and elastin production. Additionally, the dermal layers thicken, resulting in a noticeable improvement in the skin's appearance. This is a great long-term solution for an aging chest.
Chemical Peel
At MD Skin Lab, our aestheticians use medical-grade or pharmaceutical-grade agents to perform chemical peels on the chest. These agents are carefully formulated to exfoliate the skin in a controlled manner. Our chemical peels may contain salicylic acid, TCA, alpha and beta hydroxy acids, lactic acid, or a combination of these ingredients. We only use medical-grade skincare products from trusted brands such as Skinceuticals and Vivier, made with high-quality ingredients safe for all skin types. Each product is also customized to address the specific concerns of each individual's skin on their chest.
