Aging is a complex process that affects not just the skin but the entire body. It’s a three-dimensional process that involves changes at multiple levels, from the cellular to the structural. As research in the field of anti-aging progresses, we are gaining a clearer understanding of how to forecast and identify the ways in which we age.

Optimizing Energy for Healthy Aging

One of the key factors in aging well is energy production—specifically, how our bodies create energy, why we lose it as we age, and how we can create more. Understanding and optimizing the function of our mitochondria (the energy factories of our cells) and reducing oxidative stress (caused by toxins, infections, allergens, stress, and poor diet) is crucial to thriving as we age. This can be achieved through lifestyle strategies and the use of herbs and botanicals designed to support energy production and reduce oxidative damage.

The Science Behind Skin Aging

Three main components of the skin are essential in the aging process: collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Treatments that focus on increasing these components and optimizing the conditions for their production, repair, and regeneration offer the most effective anti-aging results.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox)

We offer Botox treatments to help prevent and reduce the formation of wrinkles. These non-invasive, quick, and effective treatments can give you a more youthful appearance with results that last up to 4 to 5 months. Our Botox treatments at Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness require no anesthetic and offer a convenient solution to maintaining a smooth, wrinkle-free complexion.

PRP Therapy for Facial Rejuvenation

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is another advanced treatment we offer for facial rejuvenation. PRP is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that promote collagen synthesis and skin regeneration. This natural approach to anti-aging can help improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and revitalized appearance. PRP can be combined with other treatments to enhance results and support long-term skin health.

At Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness, we offer a range of anti-aging treatments designed to restore and maintain a youthful appearance. Our approach is supported by advanced functional medicine testing through partnerships with leading diagnostic laboratories, ensuring our patients receive the most accurate and personalized care possible.
