Is Stress Aging You?

With a busy and stressful Holiday season coming to an end, you may find yourself wondering why your skin is lacking a New Year luster? The body reacts instantaneously to daily stressors. It has been proven that the stress hormone, cortisol, can sneak up under your skin – adding years to your appearance.

Redness, Acne, Dryness and wrinkles are all effects that can be caused by stress. Luckily, we offer many options here at Aesthetic Enhancements Plastic Surgery to help get your skin back in tip–top shape!

Fine Lines/Wrinkles
The negative effect stress can have on your skin can lead to premature aging. Fillers and injectables, such as Botox, Restylane and Juvederm, are an excellent way to eliminate pesky fine lines and wrinkles.

MiXto Laser Resurfacing is also a great option to help revive and rejuvenate the skin's overall texture and appearance. The light beams work to heat and vaporize the skin's tissue, removing any wrinkles or discoloration, while stimulating collagen production.

Redness
Applying anti–inflammatory creams, such as Revale Night Cream, can help soothe the skin and reduce redness. Light laser therapy, such as IPL, can also zap away broken capillaries and/or red spots leaving an even complexion.

Acne
A careful combination of medical grade products and salicylic peels can remedy signs of acne. These treatments can unclog pores keeping them clear of excess oil and dead skin cells.

Dryness
Cortisol can hinder the skin's ability to retain water and moisture – leaving your skin dull and dehydrated. For a healthy glow, we recommend using medical grade moisturizers, such as Neocutis Journee, to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture.
