The Aging Triangle
Aging is caused by a combination of reasons which can be intrinsic and extrinsic: sun damage, loss of firmness and elasticity, genetics, lifestyle, etc. It is an inevitable part of life that exists in every layer of the facial structure. As we age we experience volume loss and decreased collagen production which can result in flattened cheeks, sagging skin, hollowness under the eyes, and fullness around the jawline. Thankfully there are medicinal remedies and nonsurgical procedures that can help you looked refreshed, youthful, beautiful, and “younger than your age.” At Wanderluxe we can restore your triangle of beauty and allow you to age naturally and gracefully.
Health and Aging
Healthy habits (and genetics) can have a significant impact on your longevity and biological age. These include:
• Exercise habits
• Eating habits
• Stress levels
• Alcohol consumption
• Education
• Amount of sleep
• Sexual and romantic relationships
• Tobacco use and exposure to other environmental toxins
The Importance of Collagen, Elastin, and Fibroblasts
Collagen, elastin, and fibroblast provide the basic framework required for cells to stick together in forming tissues. Collagen provides the “foundation”, the mechanical strength for tissues to hold themselves together. Elastin allows stretch and recoil within the skin permitting flexibility. Fibroblasts contribute to the formation of connective tissue that help to maintain the structural framework of tissues. As we age our body slows down or stops producing these proteins which contributes to volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. To best address the signs of aging, you will want treatments that can repair and enhance.
We Specialize in Injectables
Injectables can have a preventative and antiaging effect. Carissa is a skilled injector who performs all the injectable treatments at Wanderluxe. She has a deep understanding of a person’s facial anatomy. Through skilled observation and evaluation of your facial asymmetries and dynamic muscle action, Carissa customizes her treatments to fit your individual needs with Dysport and Dermal Filler needed to achieve optimal results.
• Dysport/Botox: a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscle movement that which helps to treat and prevent our muscles from further creasing which causes frown lines and other facial wrinkles. Patients notice results in as little a few days to 2 weeks. Will on average last 3-4 months.
• Restylane: is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that restores and refills areas that have volume loss. It is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that lifts, plumps, and adds definition. Patients notice results immediately and will last on overage 7 months to 1.5 years.
• Liquid Facelift: With the combination of Dysport/Botox and Filler, Carissa targets fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss directly with injectables. Carissa's method not only restores your triangle of youth by lifting but also creates a total “liquid facelift” effect.
•PRP injections: PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production which thickens and tightens thinning skin, effectively smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Because it boosts collagen, it's also a great treatment for improving overall skin texture and tone.
Areas where PRP is useful as an injection or topical treatments: Dark undereye circles, fine lines around the nose and mouth, forehead wrinkles, fine lines around the eyes, nasal folds, smooths and improves skin tone and texture, plumps grooves from nose to mouth, plumps cheeks, reduces the appearance of surgical scars, firms and tightens skin, boosts collagen production
