How To Look Younger
A Guide To Younger Looking Skin
Youthful skin isn’t beyond your reach
It’s easy to forget, but our skin is the largest organ of the human body, and how we take care of it is incredibly important. But as we all know, aging can affect our skin’s long term health and durability. This is why skincare treatments remain vital for preserving our youthful skin at any age.
The team at Dr. Amy Brenner, MD & Associates is committed to helping our patients feel at ease to provide the best skin care treatments possible—because everyone deserves to know how to look younger! With our help, we’ll put you on a journey toward younger-looking skin with little recovery time.
Conditions that may cause skin aging
Given that every person is unique, and no two people have the same skin type, it’s important to know what might be responsible for signs of skin aging and how to look younger as a result of appropriate treatment.
Natural Aging
As you get older, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile. The decreased production of collagen and elastin and natural oils over time can dry out your skin and make it appear more wrinkled.
Can lead to:
- Fine Lines and wrinkles
- Skin Laxity
Exposure to Ultraviolet Light (UV)
Ultraviolet radiation, which can speed the natural aging process with enough exposure, is the primary cause of early signs of skin aging.
Can lead to:
- Premature aging
- Sun spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Smoking
Smoking can speed up the normal aging process of your skin, which can contribute to the development of wrinkles. And smokers tend to have more wrinkles than non-smokers.
Can lead to:
- Premature aging
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Exposure to Chemical Substances
Certain substances that contain chemicals can damage our skin, even with labeling that classifies them as being safe. For some, paying attention to even the type of body wash they use can determine the overall wellbeing of their skin.
Can lead to:
- Dry skin
- Flakiness
- Hyperpigmentation
Diet and Hydration

How To Look Younger: Treatment Options
Our Cincinnati practice offers a variety of skincare treatment options to match the needs of our patients.

Our skincare treatments are divided into two groups: Preventative and Rejuvenation.
Preventative

BOTOX is an injection that works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the appearance of your skin. From fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scars, to hyperpigmentation/melasma, chemical peels are an easy fix for many skin concerns.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a skin rejuvenation treatment that removes the top layer of damaged skin, as well as fine hair or peach fuzz for smoother skin without any downtime.

CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a state-of-the-art skincare procedure that treats pigmentation, wrinkles, aging skin, fine lines, acne scars, and large pores. Co2 is the best treatment if you wish to get the most results with one treatment and can invest in downtime.
Dermal Fillers

We're with you the whole way through
Consultation
Before any skincare treatment, we always meet with you for a private, in-depth consultation to discuss ways we can help improve your skin. You’ll meet with one of our skincare providers to discuss any symptoms or concerns you may have before exploring treatment options.
Treatment Plan & Expectations
Another important aspect of your skin consultation is establishing realistic expectations. Because everyone’s skin is unique and the treatment technologies vary, we’ll discuss the types of results you can expect and a time frame for accomplishing those results. After getting to know your goals, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that includes the amount of treatment sessions you’ll need for your desired results.
Combination Treatments
Not every patient is going to require the same set of treatments. This is why we are of the mindset that our patients should experience the flexibility of finding treatments, or a combination of them, to meet their needs. If you require a combination of preventative or rejuvenation treatments, we’ll help you navigate the best treatment plan and schedule.
Results
Many treatments produce immediate results, while others may require a bit of downtime for healing. Our team will regularly check in with you to monitor your results and progress for optimal outcomes.
Skin Treatment Timelines
Many patients seek professional skin treatments for an upcoming event, such as their wedding. Below are popular skin treatments for event prep and timelines to expect.
