Aesthetics in Your 50s and Up
Whether you’re looking to take your minimally invasive cosmetic procedure routine to the next level or want to dive into the market for the first time, patients over 50 can consider an array of surgical and non-surgical procedures at The MAC in Edmond, Oklahoma, that lift, firm, and tone the face and body with long-lasting results.
FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
As the same aging processes of our 40s continues in our 50s, it’s important to note that menopause may amplify the signs for women. Changing estrogen levels may result in drier skin. The loss of collagen can lead to sagging skin along the jaw and around the eyes. And, years of sun exposure will also re-emerge as rough skin texture and sunspots.
skin laxity Changes
Along with wrinkles and fine lines, saggy skin is a primary concern for women in their 50s. This loss of definition can happen almost anywhere on the body, but the most common areas are the face, neck, abdomen, and arms. Sagging skin is caused by several factors, including thinning of the epidermis (the surface of the skin), collagen loss, and prolonged sun exposure.
In addition to incorporating an effective (and protective) skincare regimen, firming creams can also provide subtle differences in tightening up loose skin.
Body Changes
Nearly half of all women in their 50s and early 60s have experienced incontinence. Reduced levels of estrogen starting around menopause can cause thinning of the lining of the urethra, the short tube that passes urine from the bladder out of the body. The surrounding pelvic muscles also may weaken with aging, a process known as "pelvic relaxation." As a result, women at midlife and beyond are at increased risk for urinary incontinence, or the involuntary leakage of urine.
“I never think about age. I believe your age is totally how you feel. I’ve seen women of 35 who are old and people of 75 who are young. As long as I look after myself physically, mentally and emotionally, I’ll stay young.”
