Time marches on, but you don't want it marching across your body or your face. Understandably, you probably want to look young for as long as you can, regardless of your chronological age. Some people are lucky and never need any cosmetic procedures to freeze time. Others may need a little help. If you are one of the many that need some help with anti-aging procedures, consider the top four age-defying, non-surgical facelift alternatives offered by Active Skin Care, a medical spa in Toronto.

Botox Injections

Botox injections are the leading approach to flattening minor to mid-level wrinkles and creases in your face. Botox causes the muscles underneath to become rigid and unmoving, thereby causing the wrinkled skin to flatten and smooth. The result is only temporary, however, and you may have to repeat the treatments a few times throughout the course of a year to keep the same look.

RF Body Contouring and Skin Lifting

Radio Frequency contouring is often used to tighten slack skin on the body, but it also works on the neck, cheeks, and jowls. As you age, these areas of skin begin to droop, making you look older and more tired. The RF treatment tightens the loose skin up a bit, instantly making you look younger and less tired.

Pigmentation Treatment with Light-Based Technology

Freckles are cute when you're younger, but they tend to turn into odd patches of dark pigment and liver spots when you're older. Even out your skin tone and pigmentation with light-based technology. Short bursts of light delivered to these darker areas on your face help your skin dissolve the darker pigments and restore a more youthful glow.

Skin Rejuvenation

Skin in older adult faces is often dry, patchy, blotchy, and uneven. It lacks its youthful stretchiness as a result of reduced collagen fibers and bundles of collagen fibers that collect in areas of the face and don't unwind as they should. Light energy helps your skin release and unwind the collagen to fill out your face, soften it, and even out the tone and texture.
