Skin Care At Every Age: Fifties

Flaws and lines in the skin continue to accelerate in this time period. A noticeable “hollowed out” look emerges – particularly in the cheeks and temple areas – due to gradual loss of bone, redistribution of fat and decreasing skin elasticity. Existing frown lines, expression lines and wrinkles deepen and spread.

Laxity in the neck and jawline is more apparent. Sun spots and other effects of sun exposure accumulate. This age group relies on a multi-tiered approach involving several treatment options, from fillers and Botox to lasers and other devices.

Wrinkle Care With Botox

Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa is a Botox® Platinum-Plus Provider, which makes us uniquely equipped to provide you with the outstanding results you deserve.

Lines and wrinkles appear on the face as a result of muscle movement, sun exposure, and aging. For example, constant frowning can cause lines on the forehead and between brows to become deeper and more defined. But with one 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—within days there’s a noticeable improvement. The injections to the contracting muscles temporarily cause the muscle tissue to relax. The relaxation of those muscles causes wrinkles to miraculously disappear and can last up to 4 months.

Allergan, the maker of Botox, awards Platinum-Plus Provider status to a select group of physicians who use their products. In order to become a Platinum Provider, a physician must perform a certain number of Botox injections.  Platinum-Plus Provider status is one of the highest levels of recognition given by Allergan.

Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa has been at this level for years. This means that we have accumulated a great deal of experience using this product. Because so many men and women have chosen us for treatment, we have been able to refine and perfect our injection techniques.

Varicose Vein & Spider Vein Treatment

Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins, often dark blue in color, near or raised above the surface of the skin. The first step in any varicose vein treatment program requires a mapping procedure with an ultrasound machine. Once the ultrasound has been complete, Dr. Manjoney will recommend the most effective treatment for you.

Spider veins are red and purple blood vessels that occur in patches on the legs and face. Spider veins and varicose veins are not the same and one does not necessarily lead to the other. Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa offers a laser therapy treatment for fast, effective reduction in the appearance of spider veins.

Tightening Sagging Skin

Even in the 50’s, full surgical face lifts may not be needed or an advisable option. Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa offers a number of non-surgical skin tightening solutions to work from the inside out – from deep below the surface of the skin – to return a more youthful look by smoothing, tightening, lifting and firming the skin. These skin tightening options include DermaPen, ClearLift, Exilis Elite, Near Infrared skin tightening, and the Pellevé wrinkle reduction system. Our clinicians can work with you to customize a treatment plan that can help you meet your skin tightening goals.

Reducing the Effects of Sun Exposure

Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa has several options at its disposal for the treatment of brown spots, sun spots, pigmentation problems and other effects of sun damage.

  • Laser Treatments & Photofacials
    With laser-assisted skin resurfacing and AFT Intense Pulsed Light treatments, we can minimize or eliminate sun damage. Laser resurfacing with a CO2 laser is ideal for adults with mild to moderate periobital wrinkles, age spots and skin discoloration. It is also designed to soften or remove fine lines and wrinkles to enhance the overall look of your skin. AFT Intense Pulsed Light treatments use pulsating light to penetrate skin and even skin tone. AFT Intense Pulsed Light treatments are effective and fast – perfect for busy schedules.
  • Chemical Peels
    Chemical peels are one of the oldest cosmetic procedures performed in the world. There are various types of chemical peels that can aid in skin rejuvenation. We offer a variety of chemical peels of different strengths to help reduce the signs of aging, sun damage and blemishes, and restore the natural beauty of your skin! Chemical peels remove a layer of skin with a chemical preparation allowing the skin to grow back smoother than before and with reduced imperfections, leaving you with a younger, fresher appearance.

General skin texture can also be improved with a wide array of advanced treatments like the DermaPen, Pixel Perfect, and a Gentle Peel with Erbium Laser treatment.

Body Contouring

Non-invasive, fat-reducing body contouring treatments are immensely popular options for an effective change in overall body shape. Systems such as CoolSculpting, Exilis Elite and Vanquish deliver precisely controlled thermal and radio frequency (RF) energy to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of your body, improving the appearance of areas like the midsection, thighs, buttocks, arms and face, which can otherwise be difficult to change with diet and exercise.
