Everyone’s skin is different, but for many, the 30s are when they start to notice early signs of aging, like fine lines around the eyes or a few dark spots on the cheeks. These are signs of biological shifts happening within your skin, changes that often start as early as your 20s.
As you understand more about what is happening under the surface, you can make more confidently informed decisions about how to sustainably support your skin and adapt along with it. At Lucienne Salon & Medical Spa in South Jordan, we offer a complete range of treatments that target the root causes of these changes to keep your skin firm and healthy in your 30s and beyond.
What Happens to Your Skin After 30?
Your skin’s structure is built on collagen, a highly abundant protein that acts as the scaffolding for skin, muscles, bones, connective tissue and more. As you approach your mid-to-late 20s, your body begins producing less of this crucial protein. By your mid-30s, the drop in collagen production is typically significant enough to see subtle changes in the skin. Cell turnover can also slow down as you age. This can cause the skin to look duller, as the body has a harder time shedding old skin cells and producing new ones.
How the Climate in Utah Can Affect Your Skin After 30
South Jordan’s environment, with its higher altitude (between 4,300 and 5,200 feet above sea level) and low humidity, presents a unique set of challenges in the skin care department. UV exposure is greater at this higher altitude. This can cause a faster breakdown of collagen and more sun damage. Utah’s dry air pulls moisture from the skin and weakens its natural barrier. Skin can also look rougher and have more noticeable lines when it doesn’t have the moisture it needs.
Five Facial Rejuvenation Treatments That Can Support Your Changing Skin
Sylfirm X Microneedling
When your skin needs help rebuilding its collagen foundation, Sylfirm X is a radiofrequency microneedling system that uses dual wave technology to treat superficial concerns like uneven texture and deeper issues like skin laxity in a single session. The microneedles trigger your skin’s healing response while radiofrequency energy heats the underlying dermal layers and encourages even more collagen production.
Chemical Peels
As cell turnover slows with age, dead skin cells linger on the surface longer, making the skin look dull. A professional chemical peel uses acids to dissolve buildup and bring fresh, healthy skin to the surface. It provides nonsurgical facial rejuvenation and has a wide range of uses. At Lucienne, peels are customized based on your skin type and the different concerns you want us to treat, from fine lines to acne scarring. We use professional-grade formulas that are more effective than over-the-counter products.
IPL Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy uses broad-spectrum light energy to target melanin in dark spots and hemoglobin in visible blood vessels. The light converts to heat and breaks down pigmented cells that your body can naturally eliminate. This facial rejuvenation treatment is customizable; your provider will adjust the filters to address your pigmentation and redness concerns. You can see improvement after your first session, though we may recommend more for even better results.
Injectables
Two of the most common post-30 concerns are dynamic wrinkles (those caused by repeated muscle contractions) and volume loss. Both of these can be treated with injectable treatments. We offer a full menu of options to address these concerns. Expression lines are treated with our neuromodulators, including Botox®, Dysport® and Jeuveau®. These relax the underlying muscles that cause the skin to fold during expressions.
We also offer dermal fillers, like the Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Revanesse® families, to restore cheek contour, smooth smile lines and enhance the lips. With our injectables, we focus on subtle, natural-looking results that still look like you.
Venus Glow
Venus Glow is an FDA-cleared facial system that cleans pores, exfoliates dead surface cells and infuses targeted nutrient-rich serums at the same time. It uses adjustable vacuum suction, a 360° rotating tip and ultra-fine jet streams that are only 70 microns wide (smaller than most pores). This device gives your skin hydration and nourishment where it needs it most and is perfect for combatting dehydration and cleaning out the pores. This treatment has zero downtime and gives you an immediate, visible glow.
