Longevity literally means “long life.”
In modern medicine, the word “longevity” means not only living longer but also living a healthy and quality life.
Scientific studies show that adequate sleep, avoiding bad habits, a Mediterranean-style diet, exercise, and stress management are among the current methods used to achieve “longevity” by balancing the metabolism.
What is Skin Longevity?
Skin longevity aims to improve skin quality, help the skin age more healthily, and minimize the signs of aging.
With age, skin can lose elasticity due to collagen loss. This leads to wrinkles and sagging over time.
What can be done to slow skin aging?
• Regular and adequate UV protection directly helps maintain skin quality by minimizing photoaging and sun damage caused by UV rays.
• Laser/energy-based collagen stimulation (IPL, radiofrequency-microneedling, focused ultrasound); IPL therapy is used to treat skin blemishes and redness caused by UV rays. Radiofrequency-microneedling stimulates collagen production, improving skin quality and elasticity, and supporting barrier repair. Ultherapy (focused ultrasound) provides a lifting effect by tightening the SMAS layer with ultrasound energy.
• Collagen biostimulation with calcium hydroxyapatite or polylactic acid injections; Sculptura and Radiesse increase collagen synthesis, improving tissue quality and providing fullness and vitality.
• Wrinkle prevention and volume support are provided with toxin and filler applications as needed. Toxin applications can be applied every 4-6 months.
• Annual skin examinations are necessary for skin cancer screening and monitoring skin aging.
• Hyaluronic acid and amino acid supplements with mesotherapy injections; It is applied to support the skin’s moisture needs and collagen production.
• A protein- and antioxidant-rich diet enhances cell repair and slows the aging process.
• Retinoids, with their anti-aging effects, play a role in reducing wrinkles and blemishes and accelerating cell turnover.
• A skin care routine created with skin-appropriate products is crucial for maintaining a consistent routine to exfoliate, moisturize, and protect the skin from UV rays.
