Why See a Dermatologist for Wrinkle and Fine Line Treatments?

When you look at your skin, are you worried about the presence of fine lines and wrinkles? If so, you don't have to automatically resort to invasive plastic surgery. When you visit the team at Catalina Dermatology, they can provide specialized care to prevent or treat existing wrinkles and fine lines in Tucson, AZ.

Preventative Skin Care

Everyone's skin is different, so consultations with your local dermatologist can help keep your skin as healthy and vibrant as possible. When you consult your dermatologist, they can provide solid advice about your diet, hydration, lifestyle changes, products, and procedures that can help your skin and correct issues.

For example, when you visit them for a skin consultation, they can review your skin to see if it appears to have issues from nutrient deficiency, poor product use, or other things in your medical history. Preventative care may include drinking extra water to keep your skin hydrated if you're dealing with dryness. Exercise, which is good for the whole body, improves circulation, which shows in the skin.

Your dermatologist can advise you on a healthier diet, particularly one filled with vitamin C, which helps generate collagen. They recommend products, such as an SPF of 30 or higher, to protect yourself from the sun, especially if you're fair-skinned. Dermatologists can also identify early signs of aging that may not be apparent to you, so you can take steps now to prevent problems. 
 

Variety of Treatments

When you need to care for wrinkles or fine lines in Tucson, AZ, your dermatologist has many options to consider. They may recommend injectables like Botox, which can smooth out the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for several months. You can keep up with those treatments or let the Botox dissolve naturally. You can use other fillers to make the face appear plumper and fuller to improve the appearance of sagging jawlines. Other professional treatments like microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser treatments remove damaged top layers and help regenerate new collagen.
