How Do I Determine Which Skin Rejuvenation Treatment Is Best for Me?
Knowing which skin rejuvenation treatment is best depends on a couple of important factors. First, San patients must first decide on which areas they’d like to target. For example, some treatments work better for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, while others help to boost the tone and tautness of the skin. Targeting a specific problem makes it far easier to decide which treatment to use. Second, patients need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sanders. Not every skin rejuvenation treatment is appropriate for every patient, and by further examining patients, Dr. Sanders can rule out or suggest different options. Together, Dr. Sanders and the patient can collaborate and concoct a plan of care that’s specific to each individual.

What’s the Best Skin Rejuvenation Treatment for Wrinkles?
Numerous skin rejuvenation treatments can treat wrinkles, so much of that answer depends specifically on the patient. One important thing to consider is whether or not the wrinkles are static or dynamic. Static wrinkles are etched in the skin’s surface as a result of sun damage or age, while dynamic wrinkles are creases in the skin that occur because of contracted facial muscles. What works to treat static wrinkles will not work to treat dynamic wrinkles and vice versa. Some of the better treatments for static wrinkles include chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing, which help to create a new layer of fresh skin. Facial injectables, such as Botox, are better options for dynamic wrinkles, as these paralyze the muscles underneath the skin.

What Causes Dull Skin?
There are many factors that can cause dull skin. Some of these include:
- Smoking, as this limits how well skin can heal itself.
- Drinking too much, as this also damages skin cells.
- Not staying hydrated, as the skin needs lots of water to stay plump and full.
- Not eating well, as the skin requires numerous vitamins and nutrients to stay healthy.
- Not exfoliating, as this allows a layer of dead skin cells to sit on the skin’s surface.
There are certain preventative measures patients can take for dull skin, such as not smoking, eating healthy, and staying hydrated. However, if these efforts fail, skin rejuvenation from Dr. Sanders can be a useful tool to restore a youthful appearance.
