Why Use Regenerative Aesthetic Treatments?
Thinking about aesthetic treatments but not sure if it’s worth it? We have some good reasons to jump into these anti-aging trends:
- Improved Self-Confidence: Whether it’s reducing wrinkles or improving skin tone, feeling confident with your appearance can have a big impact on overall well-being.
- Youthful Appearance: By rejuvenating the skin, these regenerative treatments can help you achieve a more refreshed and glowing appearance, regardless of age.
- Non-Invasive or Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional surgical procedures, aesthetic therapies are non-invasive with little to no downtime and minimal risk of complications.
- Stimulated Collagen Production: Many aesthetic therapies stimulate your natural production of collagen and elastin – essential for skin elasticity and firmness.
- Long-Lasting Results: While results may vary depending on the treatment and individual, many aesthetic therapies offer long-lasting results that can be maintained with periodic touch-up treatments.
Internal vs External Factors: What Really Causes Skin Issues?
Internal aging is a natural, inevitable process that occurs over time due to genetic predisposition and physiological changes within the body including:
- Genetics determine skin thickness, elasticity, and susceptibility to aging.
- Fluctuations in hormonal levels, particularly a decrease in estrogen during menopause, can lead to skin dryness, thinning, and loss of elasticity.
- Decreased collagen and elastin production as we age is responsible for sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines.
External aging is driven by environmental and lifestyle factors that can accelerate the aging process including:
- Exposure to UV radiation from the sun damages the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers, leading to wrinkles, pigmentation irregularities, and loss of skin tone.
- Environmental pollutants generate free radicals that can damage skin cells and accelerate aging processes.
- Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor nutrition, and inadequate sleep, can impair cellular function, promoting inflammation, and depleting essential nutrients.
- Repeated facial expressions such as squinting, frowning, and smiling, can lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, particularly in areas with thin skin and reduced collagen and elastin support.
- Poor skincare practices including insufficient hydration, lack of sunscreen use, and failure to remove makeup properly, can exacerbate skin aging by impairing the skin’s barrier function and increasing susceptibility to damage.

Aesthetic treatment availability varies by Forum Health location.
Microneedling: The Next Generation
- Plasma Glow Facial: This facial combines the restorative power of two treatment approaches—microneedling and plasma extracted from your own blood—to reveal luminous, clear skin that gets better with time. Benefits included restored skin tone, increased collagen, stimulated cell turnover and rejuvenated dull and damaged skin.
- PlasmaGlow Facelift: A custom-designed procedure that combines the science of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, such as Juvederm, with the technology of plasma micro-needling. The dermal filler is used to create shape by restoring volume lost in the aging process. Plasma extracted from your own blood is used to stimulate the regenerative process of the skin creating a younger skin that glows with vitality.
- DermaFrac(TM): A unique new microneedling system which creates precisely calibrated micro-channels into the skin, while simultaneously infusing active topical agents. The result is a skin rejuvenation procedure that improves cell hydration, plumps skin, enhances texture and boosts brightness.
- SkinPen: The only microneedling device with FDA clearance to treat acne scarring in patients 22 years old and above. It also helps treat fine lines and wrinkles, melasma, surgical scars and stretch marks.
Hair Loss Solutions
- Hair Restoration Treatment: A non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure that promotes hair growth and combats hair loss. It uses plasma from your own blood to extract platelets, which are rich in growth factors and other beneficial substances. The plasma is then processed and injected into the scalp, specifically targeting areas affected by hair loss or thinning.
Skin Resurfacing Treatment
- HydraFacial: A medical-grade resurfacing treatment that leaves your skin renewed and glowing. The four-step facial includes cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and hydrating the skin with antioxidant-rich serums that are infused into pores. The best part? HydraFacial can be customized to treat fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne, enlarged pores, and oily and congested skin.
- Fractora Treatment: A noninvasive skin-tightening and resurfacing procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) to increase collagen production, promote healing, improve skin complexion, reduce acne and irregularities.
- Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers offer an effective and noninvasive way to help you achieve a fuller, smoother, and more youthful aesthetic. Commonly injected in the face, neck, and hands, fillers can add volume, alter contours, and decrease the depth of wrinkles.
Body Contouring
- TruSculpt3D(R) Body Contouring: The truSculpt 3D body-contouring device uses noninvasive, pain-free radio frequency (RF) to target, heat, and destroy stubborn fat cells under your skin. The fat cells are then broken down and removed from the body as waste. It’s approved by the FDA for circumferential reduction of the abdomen and flanks and can also help with the hips, legs, arms, chin and neck.
