5 best facial treatments for anti-aging and wrinkles (2024)

Hydration is the first step to combating symptoms of skin ageing — it’s what helps nourish your skin and gives it a plump, healthy glow. In fact, well-hydrated skin helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier and plays an integral role in collagen and elastin production, which contribute to the skin’s structure and skin elasticity.

Well-hydrated skin also increases the skin’s ability to absorb nutrients from other skincare products, optimising benefits from other anti-ageing topical serums and creams as well. 

SkinLab’s Intense Hydrating H.A. Facial incorporates hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and cucumber extracts to deeply moisturise and refresh the skin. Its benefits include:

• Deeply hydrates
• Smoothes skin
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Regulates sebum production
• Lowers skin inflammation 

This treatment is ideal for those looking to reduce signs of ageing and achieve supple, hydrated skin. 

Brightening peel

A brightening peel not only brightens and lightens the skin, it also helps reduce signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines. This is because chemical peels, in general, help remove the outer layers of the skin, smoothing out wrinkles in the process. “New” skin is revealed, creating an even-textured appearance.

Brightening peels also help treat:

• Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
• Darkening under the eyes
• Scarring
• Hyperpigmentation and age spots

A peptide peel facial utilises a unique combination of 6 different short chain amino acids that gently exfoliate the skin to reveal a more luminous complexion and improve signs of ageing. It is a 60-minute facial that helps reduce hyperpigmentation, refines fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenates ageing skin. It also works to treat symptoms of ageing by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which leads to firm and taut skin.

Laser treatment

Advancements in technology have brought about numerous minimally invasive procedures to help reduce signs of ageing, and one of these is laser treatment.

Anti-ageing laser treatments like SkinLab’s Laser lift Facial utilise low level 660nm laser energy and galvanic currents to increase collagen and elastin production, and promote skin cell regeneration. This, in turn, tightens and lifts sagging skin and improves overall skin texture by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Other benefits of laser treatment include:

• Needleless and has no downtime
• Reduces facial bloating
• Reduces acne and pigmentation
• Smoothes skin texture

This treatment also boosts the absorption of active ingredients, which is why the laser lift facial is followed by a customised mask application with anti-ageing, brightening and pore-reducing benefits. 

Gua sha massage

A Gua Sha massage is a traditional chinese healing method that involves the use of a smooth-edged tool that is strategically scraped across the skin to increase circulation. This, in turn, promotes detoxification and encourages collagen and elastin production.

A Gua Sha facial can help reduce signs of ageing by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, while lifting and contouring the face. Its main benefits include:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoothes skin
• Alleviates puffiness
• Lifts the skin
• Stimulates elastin and collagen production
• Contours the face 

At SkinLab we offer the Gua Sha Lymphatic Drainage Facial Treatment. During this treatment, a trained therapist with a comprehensive understanding of scraping techniques and lymphatic pathways can help personalise treatment based on your facial anatomy and skin condition. 

Acid peel

Acid peels, or chemical peels, come in varying strengths, and can also be tailored to reduce symptoms of ageing. Acid peels work by accelerating the skin’s natural process of cell turnover, revealing “newer” skin cells and replacing old ones. This improves the skin’s overall texture and stimulates collagen production for a more youthful look. 

One such treatment is SkinLab’s Signature Medical Peel, which follows a strict protocol — developed by medical professionals and customised to your skin type and condition. Its benefits include:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Resurfaces the skin
• Removes debris and dead skin cells
• Regulates sebum production
• Boosts serum absorption 
• Smoothes the face
• Tightens and lifts the skin

As everyone’s skin differs, with some skin types more sensitive than others, it is best to undergo an acid peel treatment performed by an experienced professional in a controlled environment. This minimises your risk of complications and ensures optimal results.
