That scary w word: wrinkles

Addressing Wrinkles with Specialized Treatments at Med 44 Arcadia

Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that doesn't mean we have to accept them. At Med 44 Arcadia, located in Phoenix Arizona, we offer a wide variety of cutting-edge anti-aging treatments to help manage and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Our ultimate goal is to help you look and feel your best.

Why Do We Get Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

As we get older and the aging process begins, the skin loses collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins that keep the skin firm and elastic. We lose these important proteins by constant facial expressions, along with external factors like sun exposure and pollution, resulting in the formation of wrinkles. As we age we also lose facial fat pads which creates volume and bone loss, making us look older. 

Combating Wrinkles with Botox at Med 44 Arcadia

Neurotoxins, such as Botox, are powerful, important tools to use as a solution to reduce wrinkles. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, leading to more even, smoother skin. At Med 44 Arcadia, we offer several neurotoxin options including:

• Daxxify: The only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide, with results that last on average 5 months and up to 6 months depending on the patient. 
• Botox: A purified protein used to relax muscles in the face, neck, and decolletage by temporarily softening facial expressions that create fine lines and wrinkles.
• Dysport: Believed to have a slightly faster onset time and larger spread in the muscle than its counterparts. This treatment helps in minimizing the effects of aging, creating a more youthful appearance to the skin by relaxing muscle movement that creates strong facial expressions. 

Non-Invasive Aesthetic Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation:

For patients seeking more non-invasive treatments to help combat those stubborn fine lines and wrinkles, Med 44 Arcadia, offers advanced aesthetic treatment options:

• Moxi Laser : This treatment is designed to effectively treat visible signs of aging with minimal downtime. Moxi addresses fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, melasma, acne and acne scarring. Within one to three Moxi treatments, patients achieve a more even skin tone and radiant complexion.
• Vivace RF Microneedling: Vivace treats fine lines, wrinkles, and acne, while improving the overall tone and texture of the skin. Vivace stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin by combining radio frequency energy with microneedling while having minimal downtime 
• Sofwave Ultrasound Lifting: Works to restore collagen that supports, firms, and tones skin, helping to reduce wrinkles by improving elasticity in addition to restoring youthful bounce. Sofwave improves skin quality by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and lifts the eyebrows, neck, and submental (under the chin) area. 
• PRP Microneedling: Platelet rich plasma can be used in combination with microneedling to single growth factor cells in the skin. These growth factor cells help repair and stimulate collagen production which leads to tighter, thicker skin.

Medical Grade Skincare to Treat and Prevent Wrinkles:

Using a routine medical grade skin care regimen is a very important, and essential part in helping to treat fine lines and wrinkles. At Med 44 Arcadia, we offer ZO Skin Health products which help address and correct many different skin concerns, including fine lines and textured skin. Some important and essential ingredients to use to help with those unwanted fine lines and wrinkles include: 

• Retinoids: Boost cell turnover and collagen production to reduce fine lines and skin texture.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and plumps up fine lines, and also helps the skin stretch and flex to reduce wrinkles and lines.
• Vitamin C: Protects against environmental damage and supports collagen production. 
• Peptides: Strengthens the skin barrier and signals collagen production to plump and tighten the skin. 
• Sunscreen: Essential for protecting your skin from UVA and UVB damage.
