Dr. Sieffert’s Top Tips to Keep Your 皮肤 Looking Young

Here are the best top tips from Columbus plastic surgeon Dr. 米歇尔Sieffert on how to keep your skin looking young, dewy, gorgeous!

Annual laser treatments.

Beginning in your thirties, every year your skin’s elastin 和 collagen content steadily decreases, which causes fine lines 和 wrinkles, deep lines 和 folds, “脸皱巴巴”皮肤, 迟钝, 可见毛孔. 激光像 Halo Laser 皮肤表面重修 和 BroadB和 Light (BBL) Therapy stimulate “youthfulness” genes to turn on in your skin cells 和 re-establish some of that lost collagen 和 elastin. Committing to annual treatments at least once a year helps keep pace with the ongoing aging process so your skin maintains its youthfulness longer 和 ages more gracefully.

Prescription strength or medical grade retinol.

Having a medical grade retinol that is prescription strength from a plastic surgeon or dermatologist’s office (NOT over-the counter, 药店, 丝芙兰, 等.) is key to retaining youthful-looking skin. Retinol is the only skin care product shown in our medical literature to increase the thickness of the skin by helping your skin form new collagen.

Additionally, it helps control acne (which we all have right now because of our masks), 减轻日晒伤害, smooth fine lines 和 wrinkles, improve the appearance of pores, exfoliate the skin so it glows!

矿物防晒霜.

Sun exposure causes your skin to age more rapidly – period. UV rays also damage your DNA putting you at risk for skin cancer. For both of those reasons, sunscreen is a must! Donaldson Plastic Surgery’s expert aesthetician 和 skincare specialist Tatjana recommends mineral (physical) sunscreens that act like a shield against harmful UV rays, compared to chemical sunscreens that absorb the sun’s rays.

She even created her own zinc-oxide sunscreen formula that is available for purchase!
