Preventative Aging

Aging is a natural process, but with advances in dermatological science and aesthetic medicine, we now have the tools to slow its visible signs before they become pronounced. At Blume Skin & Body, our preventative aging approach empowers you to take control of your skin’s future, addressing the earliest signs of aging before they become significant concerns.

The Science of Preventative Aging

The philosophy behind preventative aging is simple yet revolutionary: address the biological processes of aging at their earliest stages rather than trying to reverse established damage. Research shows that collagen production begins to decline at approximately 1% per year starting in our mid-20s, while environmental factors like UV radiation accelerate this process. By implementing preventative treatments early, we can maintain youthful skin architecture, preserving elasticity and radiance for years to come.

Why Prevention is Important

• Maintain existing collagen and elastin structures
• Requires less intensive interventions
• Provide more natural-looking, long-term results
• Involve less downtime and fewer side effects
• Create a foundation for graceful aging throughout life

Our Comprehensive Preventative Aging Treatments

Preventative Botox:

The Foundation of Facial Preservation

Botox has revolutionized preventative aging by addressing dynamic wrinkles before they become permanently etched into your skin. By relaxing muscles involved in repetitive facial expressions, preventative Botox can delay the onset of wrinkles, providing you with smoother skin for a longer period.

Most experts agree that patients in their mid-to-late 20s and early 30s who are prone to wrinkles are ideal candidates for preventative Botox. The treatment works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles that lead to expression lines, preventing them from becoming permanent fixtures on your face.

Benefits of Preventative Botox:

• Prevents fine lines from becoming deep wrinkles
• Maintains natural facial expressions while minimizing wrinkle formation
• Requires minimal downtime
• Provides subtle, natural-looking results
• Treatment sessions take approximately 30 minutes

Radiesse Collagen Stimulating Filler:

Beyond Volume Replacement

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add or replace volume, Radiesse works as a biostimulator, containing calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. This unique approach not only addresses current volume loss but also helps prevent further aging by creating a stronger foundation of collagen support.

The CaHA microspheres in Radiesse trigger neocollagenesis, stimulating both collagen III (which is gradually replaced by collagen I) and collagen I, creating a stable, organized ratio that ensures proper skin structure and support.

Benefits of Radiesse:

• Natural-looking results through your own collagen growth
• Long-lasting effects (up to a year or more)
• Versatile treatment areas including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, pre-jowl area, cheeks, neck, hands, and temples
• Stimulates collagen for ongoing improvement
• FDA-approved with an excellent safety profile

Microneedling:

Collagen Induction for Preventative Rejuvenation

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, triggering the body’s natural healing process and stimulating collagen and elastin production. This minimally invasive procedure is highly effective for maintaining youthful skin texture and preventing early signs of aging.

The micro-wounds created during treatment initiate a wound-healing cascade that releases growth factors and activates fibroblasts responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Research demonstrates that microneedling enhances collagen deposition and reorganization, improving skin texture and elasticity over time.

Benefits of Microneedling:

• Improves skin texture and tone
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines before they deepen
• Minimizes pore size
• Enhances product absorption for better skincare results
• Suitable for all skin types and tones
• Minimal downtime with quick recovery

Ultherapy:

Collagen Stimulating Lifting and Tightening

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin’s layers for lifting and tightening. It uniquely targets the foundational layer beneath the skin that is typically addressed in surgical facelifts without disrupting the surface of the skin.

The ultrasound energy creates thermal coagulation points at precise depths, triggering a natural response that strengthens existing collagen and stimulates new collagen production. This proactive approach helps maintain facial contours and prevent sagging before it becomes noticeable.

Benefits of Ultherapy:

• No incisions or downtime
• Natural-looking results that improve over time
• A single treatment with lasting results
• FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrow, face, neck, under-chin, and chest
• Preventative maintenance of facial and neck contours
• Complements other preventative treatments

Photofacials:

Preserving Skin Clarity and Evenness

Photofacials use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Broad Band Light (BBL) technology to prevent and reduce early signs of sun damage, redness, and pigmentation irregularities before they become pronounced. By addressing these issues early, photofacials help maintain clear, even-toned skin throughout the aging process.

The light energy penetrates the skin’s surface to target pigment and vascular irregularities while simultaneously stimulating collagen production, addressing multiple aspects of preventative aging in a single treatment.

Benefits of Photofacials:

• Reduces early sun damage before it progresses
• Prevents pigmentation irregularities from deepening
• Minimizes facial redness and broken capillaries
• Stimulates collagen for improved skin texture
• Quick treatment sessions with minimal discomfort
• Suitable for face, neck, chest, and body 

Proper Skin Care:

The Daily Defense Against Aging

A consistent, medical-grade skincare regimen is the foundation of any preventative aging strategy. At Blume Skin & Body, we recommend customized skincare protocols featuring scientifically proven ingredients that protect and nourish your skin daily.

The most effective anti-aging treatment is sunscreen, which shields your skin from damaging UV rays that accelerate the aging process. Mineral sunscreens are particularly effective at preventing signs of aging by creating a physical barrier that reflects harmful UVA rays.

Key Components of Preventative Skincare:

• Daily broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen (minimum SPF 30)
• Antioxidants to neutralize free radical damage
• Retinoids to promote cell turnover and stimulate collagen
• Peptides to support skin structure
• Hyaluronic acid for optimal hydration
• Alpha and beta hydroxy acids for gentle exfoliation

NAD+:

Cellular Rejuvenation from Within

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a vital cofactor present in all living cells that play a crucial role in numerous metabolic processes. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, contributing to various aspects of the aging process at the cellular level.

NAD+ supplementation works to support four key areas of cellular health:

• Energy Production: Enhances cellular metabolism and ATP generation
• Cellular Repair: Supports DNA repair mechanisms
• Gene Expression: Regulates longevity genes through sirtuin activation
• Antioxidant Activity: Helps neutralize free radicals that damage cells

By addressing aging at the cellular level, NAD+ supplementation complements our topical and injectable treatments for a comprehensive approach to preventative aging.

BioRewind by SkinBetter:

Targeting Glycation for Youthful Skin

BioRewind is a breakthrough skin health dietary supplement that addresses a primary driver of skin aging: glycation. This process leads to the formation of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), which damage essential proteins like collagen and elastin.

BioRewind’s exclusive technology featuring Rosmarinic Acid and synergistic antioxidants has been clinically proven to help reverse glycation and reduce AGE formation. In clinical testing, patients experienced significant improvements in just 8 weeks:

• 12% reduction in skin redness
• 28% reduction in skin dullness
• 30% reduction in rough skin texture

This innovative supplement complements our in-office treatments by addressing the biochemical processes of aging from within.
