Okay! I have been faithful in my morning and evening skincare program! I use an antioxidant cream containing Vitamin A ( vitamin C works well too).  I won't walk out the door without sunscreen and give myself an in-home facial once a week. But still I just feel it is not enough!  What else can I do?

If you find yourself in this situation there are skin rejuvenating programs that can “boost’ your skin care regimen and give your face a lift!

Skin rejuvenating programs can  include Skin Tightening,  Photo Facial, Skin Resurfacing, BOTOX® Cosmetic, Collagen, Restylane®, Microdermabrasion,   and Facial Treatments These treatments are designed to work over time to prevent, heal or correct sun damage, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, rosacea, large pores, and uneven skin texture.

These Non-invasive skin treatments have far less risk of complication than surgery but can offer similarly positive, life-changing results.  However there still are risks. Poorly performed procedures can result in serious injury.    
 
These skin treatments are performed by dermatologists specializing in cosmetic dermatology and are offered at medical spas.

Medical spas are gaining in popularity but are not federally regulated, so you will need to do your research in choosing a good medical spa.
According to the NCEA “A medical spa is a facility that during all hours of business shall operate under the on-site supervision of a licensed health care professional operating within their scope of practice, with a staff that operates within their scope of practice as defined by their individual licensing board if licensure is required. The facility may offer traditional, complimentary, and alternative health practices and treatments in a spa-like setting.”

Be sure your treatments will be administered by highly trained medical professionals such as nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians’ assistants, who are supervised by physicians and  ask about the type of training they received.

If you choose a medical spa have a consultation (they should be complimentary) to review your needs and to gather more information about the spa and their services.
