Prevention Vs. Maintenance Vs. Correction

5/19/2021

9 Comments

 
Picture
Client: “You are so lucky…you do not need any of this stuff.”
Me: “Oh, but I do!  I look like I do not need anything because I basically have been doing   everything for years.  I do botox every 3 months, microneedling sometimes with PRF, sometimes without, a few times a year, chemical peels a few times a year, and dermal filler 1-2 times a year to maintain my look.
Client: “Really!?! You are so young, you look like you are in your 20’s.”
Me: “Thank you, I am in my mid-30s. It is all about prevention and maintenance!”
 
This is a typical conversation that I have multiple times a day.  Prevention is KEY in life!  I mean, don’t wait until you see signs and symptoms of a major health issue.  Rather, go to your doctor for preventative check-ups, maintain a healthy diet, and exercise regularly to help considerably decrease the risk of that major health issue.  Often times, it is an issue that could have been prevented or easily managed because it could have been diagnosed sooner.  When the issue is advanced, sometimes it is hard to manage or correct the issue.  The same goes with aging.
Do not wait until your skin has deep wrinkles and brown spots from not taking care of yourself.  Do not wait to do your first treatment with me when your wrinkles are so deeply etched into your skin that we need to correct the issue.  Instead, it is best to come in when you are starting to see the fine lines, so I can help you in the most minimal way and prevent things from getting worse.  It will be much easier to maintain in the long run. Plus, it will keep you looking like yourself longer.
I make it a point to treat each client individually.  Everyone has different needs depending on genetics, lifestyle, and many other factors.  But there is one thing to take away that is the same:  YOU WILL AGE.  The question is; how will you age?  Some might become gaunt, others have heaviness in the lower face, some quicker than others, etc.  But it is a lot easier to age elegantly if you start seeing me earlier.  Let’s consider the use of Botox.
Botox is a neuromodulator that helps reduce the muscle activity that causes many types of wrinkles.  When a person starts coming to me in their 50’s, I am often doing corrective work which will require me to use a significant amount more Botox at more frequent intervals than a person in their mid 20’s.  For clients who start young, a conservative amount can be used while likely coming in less frequently even as they age due to a decreased strength of the muscles.  This then allows for the client’s look to be more easily maintained.   
            Yes, some age differently.  But usually the main thing is not so much that he or she is just “lucky,” it is likely that he or she has been taking care of themselves through the regular use of things such as chemical peels, microneedling, Botox, dermal filler, or even better, a combination of all of the above.   It is never too late to start taking care of yourself, but the sooner you start, the easier it will be to manage and maintain.
 
XOXO,
Dr. Sam

Thanks for helping me understand that botox is neuromodulation that would help reduce the muscle activity that causes wrinkles. With that in mind, I would love to get this treatment when I reach the age of late 40s. Actually, I am starting to notice this issue now in my 30s, but I'd like to wait until the right age that I think I would be ready for such surgical procedures.

Thanks for pointing out that Botox is a neuromodulator that helps reduce muscle activity that causes many types of wrinkles. This is helpful because I want to look young when I go to my cousin's 35th birthday in March. With this, I will look for a center on Monday that can provide quality cosmetic procedures at an affordable rate.

I like how you mentioned that taking care of your botox is simple but needs discipline. My aunt stated to me last night that she wants to prevent the progression of her wrinkles and asked if I knew what the best therapy would be. Thank you for this informative article, and I'll be sure to remind her that she may consult a reputable dermatologist clinic for a botox treatment.

I never took into account the fact that we should not wait until the wrinkles are too deep to correct before we get treated. With that in mind, I already need to find a medical facility that offers cosmetic procedures using dermal fillers this weekend or before this month ends. The lines beside my eyes and on my forehead have been my source of insecurity this past year, so I should definitely get it addressed now before it is too late.

I want to make sure that I keep up with my looks. It makes sense that having the right aesthetic treatment would be important. I'll be sure to work with a cosmetic specialist to help me out with this.

Thank you for pointing out that Botox is a neuromodulator that assists in reducing muscular activity that contributes to many different kinds of wrinkles. My aunt claimed that because of her numerous wrinkles, she lacks confidence in her appearance. I'll suggest that she have Botox to get rid of the wrinkles.

Hi Iris! Depending on the type of wrinkles, a neuromodulator can be a great way for your aunt to reduce her wrinkles. You might also enjoy reading our blog post about different types of wrinkles to better help your aunt. Here is the link: https://www.ananyaaesthetics.com/5-types-of-wrinkles-and-how-to-treat-them

And if you or your aunt are near Pasadena, feel free to make a consultation appoinment.

It's interesting to know that we'd prevent aging marks and their effects on our skin with early treatment. The other day, my sister told me she's worried about developing wrinkles at her age since my mom and aunt did too, so I think she'd be interested in reading your article immediately. I appreciate your information on preventing wrinkles and brown spots with preventive treatments.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I love this med spa. The service is very personalized and they are following your results as much as you are. I got Botox here and was pleasantly surprised that they started it with a facial that was so relaxing. I'm thrilled with my results and couldn't recommend them enough!."
-Amy W.

"I followed Dr. Sam to her own practice because she is simply the best person for lip injections in LA if you're looking for a natural look. I've had people tell me I have the best looking lips they've ever seen-- most of them didn't even know they were from injections. Dr. Sam works around what you're looking for and gives you the perfect shape. Loyal customer for life!"  -Charlotte C.
