Physical changes are a natural part of the aging process and can affect your skin. If you wish to rejuvenate your appearance, our team at Natural Image OC can help you rediscover self-confidence.
If you wish to avoid surgery, we have various noninvasive options available to refresh your appearance. At Natural Image OC, we will help you explore the best skin treatments in your 50s and beyond and support you on your journey of personalized care and wellness. Everyone’s aesthetic and goals are unique, and we will help you determine which options are best for you.
As you get older, you may notice an increase in lines, wrinkles, and age spots on your face. Changes in volume may also appear. This is the result of slower cell turnover, loss of fat, and decreased collagen production.
To minimize these changes, some of the best skin treatments are available to patients in their 50s and older. We are here to guide you during this process.
When entering your 50s, the same skin care as discussed in our post Best Skin Treatments in Your 40s is recommended. This is a time when precancerous lesions and skin cancer might start to come to the surface. Protecting your skin with an active sunscreen that also addresses precancerous changes is essential. ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica is a perfect sunscreen to address both the prevention and treatment of precancerous skin changes.
Laser resurfacing can help you address common concerns associated with aging skin, including wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and sun damage. Laser treatments use powerful, controlled beams of light to remove aging layers of skin. In this process, the energy from the laser shrinks current collagen fibers and encourages production.
We offer a range of laser treatments and will help you determine which one is best for you. Fractionated carbon dioxide lasers and fractionated erbium lasers affect only part of the treatment area; the unaffected sections help the treated areas heal faster. Erbium lasers produce less heat than fractionated lasers and often help surface-level wrinkles, delicate facial features, and certain skin types.
In addition, this would be a time to consider doing a deeper resurfacing laser, such as a CO2 or Erbium. These lasers can be used to target problem areas around the mouth and eyes, or can be used for full face resurfacing if there is severe photoaging and deep lines that need to be addressed. A continued combination of lasers is utilized during this time because there are typically multiple facets that need to be addressed (brown, red, deeper lines, and skin texture). This is also the era when the blue veins around the eyes become more prominent, which can be addressed with the GentleYag laser.

Continuing with neurotoxins and dermal fillers is essential as the aging process continues. Lastly, this is typically when women start to notice the aging of the neck. Radiesse injections, in combination with a skin tightening procedure such as Genius, do a great job at revitalizing the neck to a more youthful time. Radiesse is used as a biostimulatory filler in the neck. Radiesse builds Type 1 Collagen, which is the structural collagen of the skin.
Chemical peels are also an effective treatment for refreshing the appearance of your skin. This procedure exfoliates skin, removing dead cells and impurities. As your skin replenishes itself, it will look smoother and brighter. Chemical peels can help reduce or eliminate sun damage, uneven skin tone, blemishes, and fine wrinkles—all of which are common concerns as we age.
At Natural Image OC, we can customize peels to your individual needs. Options include trichloroacetic acid, beta, Jessner, Illuminize, Vitalize, and salicylic acid peels. We will walk you through each option’s distinct benefits and help you determine which one suits your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
If you are seeking procedures to revitalize maturing skin, you do not have to undertake this process on your own. At Natural Image OC, our team is honored to guide you through your care journey. You are entitled to look and feel beautiful, and we will personalize our care to ensure it meets your needs. Our process is collaborative to ensure care meets your lifestyle and goals.
