Facial treatments at 50

The 50+ years bring skin changes that might catch you off guard. Hormonal shifts during menopause affect your skin's texture and appearance, creating new needs that require specialized care.
The good news is that with the right facial treatments at 50, you can address these changes and achieve skin that radiates health and youthfulness.

What changes in your skin at 50

During menopause, your skin changes noticeably mainly because of decreasing estrogen levels. The most common signs you might notice include:

Dramatic collagen reduction, up to 30% in the first five years after menopause
Tissue sagging and loss of firmness
Deeper wrinkles and fine lines becoming more visible
Loss of natural glow and skin tone evenness
Changes in facial structure
More fatigue signs around the eyes
Increased dryness and skin sensitivity

The ideal facial treatments at 50

1. Dermabrasion: The foundation of renewal

Dermabrasion is a gentle exfoliating treatment that uses a diamond tip to remove dead cells from the skin's surface, giving it freshness and radiance.
At 50, it helps smooth texture, reduce fine lines and improve skincare product absorption. It's an excellent foundation for more targeted renewal treatments.

2. Polynucleotide therapy: The revolution in regeneration

Polynucleotides represent one of the most advanced treatments for mature skin. These biological molecules activate cells and boost natural collagen production, improving hydration and elasticity.
The treatment directly addresses the main skin problems at 50 like: lack of firmness, dullness and the first significant wrinkles. Results are progressive and lasting, since the action continues for weeks after treatment.

3. Fractional Laser: Targeted treatment

Fractional laser offers impressive results in treating wrinkles and overall skin regeneration. It enhances collagen and elastin production, significantly improves texture and effectively reduces scars and discoloration.
While it requires 2-4 sessions for optimal results, the treatment has relatively short recovery time and offers long-term benefits.

4. Mesotherapy: Personalized nourishment

At 50, mesotherapy becomes particularly effective because it directly targets mature skin needs. Skinboosters with high molecular weight hyaluronic acid provide deep and long-lasting hydration, while cocktails with peptides and growth factors stimulate collagen production.
Polynucleotide therapy makes an excellent choice for deep regeneration, while PRP therapy harnesses your body's natural anti-aging powers.

5. Dermapen: Microneedling for renewal

Dermapen represents the new generation of microneedling treatments. It creates controlled micro-injuries that activate natural healing mechanisms and increases collagen and elastin production.
The treatment is particularly effective if you want to improve texture, reduce fine lines and address discoloration that often appears at 50.

6. Facial cleansing: The therapeutic foundation

Professional facial cleansing remains a fundamental treatment. With specialized products and techniques, it improves texture, deep cleanses pores and prepares the skin for more advanced treatments.

Combined approaches for maximum results

At 50, the key lies in smart treatment combinations. A typical treatment plan might start with dermabrasion for basic renewal, continue with mesotherapy for deep nourishment and complete with fractional laser or Dermapen for overall restructuring.

Frequency and results

Most facial treatments at 50 require 3-6 sessions for optimal results, with 2-4 week intervals. First benefits usually appear from the first session, while complete improvement develops gradually over the following months.
Maintenance with repeat sessions every 3-6 months preserves results and continues improving skin quality.
