CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — It’s the start of another year, and with a new year comes new beginnings and intentions about changing habits that prevent us from living our best lives. Make your New Year’s resolution for 2023 an easy, yet important, one to follow, and start taking better care of your skin with the help of Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser.
“Knowing your skin is crucial to your overall health,” owner Shannon Evans said. “There are many options, new and wonderful treatments, specific for treating any condition.”
People of all ages visit Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser to refresh their skin with state-of-the-art laser therapies that work naturally to delay the aging process and reduce the appearance of imperfections. Laser treatments are an effective resource for anyone with fine facial lines, wrinkles, age spots, large pores, texture issues, scarring, discoloration, sun damage and more.
But don’t wait for problems to appear! Prevention is the first step to maintaining skin health and slowing down the effects of time. Tiffany Anderson, a master esthetician and certified laser technician at Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser, said it’s never too early to get started.
Skin begins to lose its elasticity around age 25 as the body’s production of collagen gradually slows, allowing fine lines and wrinkles to form. While aging is natural and inevitable, a daily skin care routine and monthly skin care treatments will work wonders in maintaining your skin’s health.
Take a look in the mirror and consider the things you’d like to improve about your skin. What specific issues and problem areas do you have? Do you see wrinkles? Sagging areas? Brown spots? Discuss your concerns with the skin care professionals at Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser, who will evaluate your skin and recommend products and treatments for optimal results.
Along with your skin care routine, certain lifestyle habits can make or break your skin’s health. Fad diets that encourage deprivation are detrimental to your overall wellness, which includes your skin.
Follow a realistic and healthy diet plan that incorporates fatty acids to help reinforce and smooth the skin’s surface. Consuming antioxidants will delay premature aging by promoting tissue growth and repair while also boosting collagen production and skin cell turnover.
Dry, dehydrated skin ages faster than plumped-up, hydrated skin. Drinking plenty of water helps your skin maintain moisture, which increases elasticity. The more elasticity in your skin, the fewer wrinkles you’ll see. Exercise at least three times a week to keep your skin’s collagen production stimulated.
Regular facials also help keep skin moisturized, clear and firm. Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser offers facials that cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate, all of which are key elements in the prevention of fine lines and wrinkles. For more targeted results, microneedling has been shown to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, improve overall skin tone, hydrate the skin and increase collagen and elastin production.
Sun exposure is responsible for roughly 80% of the signs of aging, so protecting your skin from the sun is essential – especially in Southern Utah. The best sunscreen is the one you’ll use every day. Anderson recommends wearing broad-spectrum SPF 15 or higher on a regular basis and SPF 30 or higher when spending time outdoors.
Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser has established a reputation for excellence since opening its doors two years ago. In 2022, Best of Southern Utah voters awarded the cutting-edge medical spa a gold ribbon in the aesthetics category.
Evans and her team of skin care professionals take pride in being able to provide cutting-edge services in a welcoming environment where patient comfort is a top priority. Every patient’s journey begins with a thorough and caring professional skin consultation.
“I consider it an art,” she said. “Our goal is to help everyone learn to love the skin they’re in.”
