WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU LOOK OLDER? | BEST SKIN PLUMPERS | OVER 40 SKINCARE
What really makes us look older?
Wrinkles?
Sun damage?
Sagging skin?
Yes, all of those contribute to aged skin. But there is one thing that instantly will signal that we are “older” and it is not on the list above.
Thinning skin is part of what makes you look older.
Yes, wrinkled, dehydrated skin and sun damage are all culprits, but THINNING skin is what immediately signifies aged skin.
How do you combat thinning skin at home?
There are a few wonderful products you can use at home to really help re-densify (thicken/plump up) thinning, aging skin.
Hands down, my favorite skin plumping product is the HOP+ (Scullpla) CAVIPLLA serum.
No contest.
Used with the H2 mist, I've seen it truly transform thinning, crepey aging skin *(my own included!)
Using products like Sculplla HOP+, which contain PLLA (poly-l-lactic-acid) helps re-cushion thinning skin.
Best skin plumpers over 40
Make you skin look youthful, plump, “cushioned” with a few key treatments you can do at home:
Use a great quality skincare, like HOP+, that will help literally build you own collagen
Use devices on a consistent basis. The best for helping to rebuild collagen are LED (red light) treatments and devices like the Time Master Pro (ultrasound)
In-office treatments like the Sculplla Filler Facial or a good, deep microneedling (at 30 day intervals) can also really help significantly boost collagen production.
Use both: Monthly microneedle* at .50mm or deeper + weekly (3x ) red light treatments will give you significant results.
BE PATIENT!
Collagen takes about 30 days to regenerate so give it time! Any treatments (even professional) will likely give you the best results at about 30-45 days and then just keep it up to continue and build on your results!
*I like this microneedle pen or one similar for a good monthly deeper treatment at home. This is an affiliate link for which I may receive a commission if used for purchases (thank you!)
Whichever pen or device you choose, be sure to get good quality from a good supplier!
INSTANT RESULTS FOR SKIN PLUMPING:
Hyaluronic Acid - great for temporary plumping and cushion under makeup
I love the Plumping Serum by Moor Spa - really a nice plumping serum/cream.
I also like the Hydra Velvet mask, the Dewey Skin mask and the crystal collagen masks - these are really nice extra treatments when you have the time.
Treatment note:
With the crystal collagen, apply a plumping underneath and then apply mask for 20 minutes - amazing results!
(Cleanse skin, apply plumping serum, then apply a crystal collagen infusion mask, let sit 20 minutes, remove and massage in any additional serum.)
Are there home skincare devices that help thinning skin?
LONGER LASTING / LONG-TERM RESULTS THAT LOOK NATURAL
YES!
As for devices, you cannot go wrong with the Time Master Pro to plump and rejuvenate skin. Use the red LED setting to build collagen and the green LED or flashing/multi-LED setting to brighten - instant glowing skin.
You can plump up cheeks, lips with microcurrent. This continues to be one of my favorite devices, but works best when you have re-densified your skin by building the collagen (LED or HOP+ products.
It looks like a more naturally youthful you vs. just plumping thin skin (very unnatural).
Can filler help thinning skin?
Getting filler into thinning skin is one of my biggest pet peeves! Doctors should counsel patients to thicken/re-densify skin before filler so it looks more natural. Get a series of collagen-boosting treatments, like Sculptra, before or during your filler treatments to create the most overall natural effect.
THIN SKIN + FILLER = Unnatural results
Sculptra treatments, an in-office Sculplla HOP+ FILLER FACIAL series of treatments plus use something like the Sculplla HOP+ products, which will really help build a cushion into your skin. It takes about 30 days to really see results and they get better over time with consistent use of these products.
