Love Your Own Skin at Every Age

Your skin changes. So should your plan.

At Atkinson Aesthetics, we believe that great skin isn’t about chasing trends or trying to look 25 forever. It’s about understanding what your skin needs right now, at your age, with your lifestyle — and choosing treatments that make sense for you.

February is a perfect time to think about self-care and confidence. So if you’ve been wondering when to start skincare treatments, or what to focus on as your skin changes, here’s a simple guide to help.

Whether you're in your 20s or 50s+, your skin deserves thoughtful, personalized care — and a plan that evolves with you.

In Your 20s: Build the Foundation

Your 20s are all about prevention, protection, and building healthy habits. Consistency is everything.

What we focus on:

• Establishing a simple, effective skincare routine

• Daily SPF (even in winter)

• Addressing breakouts early

• Encouraging collagen before it dips

Recommended treatments:

• Monthly facials

• Aerolase (especially for acne or early pigment)

• Light peels (as needed)

• Skincare education with medical-grade products

In Your 30s: Brighten and Strengthen

This is when dullness, pigment, and early fine lines often start to appear. Collagen production slows down more noticeably.

What we focus on:

• Supporting collagen production

• Correcting pigment from sun or hormones

• Maintaining texture and tone

• Preventative neurotoxins (if desired)

Recommended treatments:

• Microneedling (great for early aging, boost collagen production, mild texture)

• PICO (for pigment, sun damage, melasma)

• Light neuromodulators

• Updated skincare to reflect your skin's current needs

In Your 40s: Repair and Rebuild

This is the decade many people feel they start to “look tired,” even when they’re not. Texture, tone, and elasticity start to shift more noticeably.

What we focus on:

• Improving texture and overall skin quality

• Boosting collagen and early volume support

• Treating visible pigment and sun damage

• Introducing more advanced treatment combinations

Recommended treatments:

• Erbium (for resurfacing and skin renewal)

• PICO (for pigment, tone, and clarity)

• RF Microneedling (tightening, texture, and collagen stimulation)

• Biostimulators (natural volume and firmness)

• Consider Ultherapy (non-invasive lift) if laxity is a concern

In Your 50s and Beyond: Lift, Restore, Maintain

Skin may feel drier, thinner, or less firm, but it also responds incredibly well with the right approach.

What we focus on:

• Restoring firmness and hydration

• Treating deeper lines or laxity

• Customizing combinations based on goals

• Supporting skin health and confidence long-term

Recommended treatments:

• Ultherapy (for lifting jawline, brows, or neck)

• Strategic combinations: lasers + RF + injectables

• Maintenance with facials, peels, and skincare

• Strengthening and hydrating products
