Best in-salon youth-boosting treatments

Age spots. Loss of elasticity. Wrinkles. Dullness. The signs of ageing may be rather disheartening, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit back and just let them happen – even if going under the knife is off the cards.

In-salon anti-ageing treatments are an invaluable anti-ageing resource for mature skins. Think of them as an amped-up version of your regular skin care products – the ingredients are stronger and they can penetrate deeper, making the results better.

But which facials are best for ageing skin? We’ve found a handful of treatments that are absolutely superb for skin that’s lost its youthfulness. Simply pick your main complexion concern from the winning options below and enjoy the plump, glowy skin that’s sure to follow…

7 OF THE BEST IN-SALON ANTI-AGEING TREATMENTS

#1. AVEDA Green Science Skin Renewing Treatment

Best for: those looking for firmer, more youthful skin.
This unique rejuvenating facial combines the power of high-tech plant technology with high-touch skin therapy to renew, repair and regenerate the skin. You’ll experience Aveda’s signature five-phase massage during the treatment, which works hand-in-hand with the targeted ingredients to lift and firm the skin. It will also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while improving skin smoothness, tone and clarity. For the greatest results, Aveda recommends one facial per week for four weeks.

#2. Dermapen In-Salon Treatments

Best for: those with deep wrinkles, scarring, stretchmarks, sagging skin and large pores.
If you’re looking for high-impact results without the downtime, Dermapen’s advanced vertical skin needling technology is the perfect treatment. Using multiple needles to vertically pierce the skin thanks to its automatic vibrating function, the Dermapen stimulates natural collagen reproduction, while also creating fine channels in the skin. Products applied topically can then travel deeper into the layers of the skin to promote faster – and better – results. Four to six treatments (four to six weeks apart) is the recommended treatment plan.

#3. endota spa glycolic peel facial, POA

Best for: dull, congested or ageing skin that’s lost its radiance.
The key ingredient in this treatment – glycolic acid – does a wonderful job of helping to shed skin impurities, revealing smoother, softer, more radiant skin. Featuring a nourishing mask and application of an SPF moisturiser post-peel, this exfoliating treatment makes for the perfect lunch break activity. Those feeling a little stressed will also enjoy the scalp massage element, too.

#4. CHI, The Spa Thermal Infusing Facial, from $250

Best for: sagging, dull skin.
Does your skin need an intensive boost of vitamins and minerals? Your skin will get just that from this divine treatment. Using a warm mask to help ensure the ingredients penetrate deep into the skin, you will be left with a naturally radiant complexion and increase your skin’s elasticity levels.  The fact that it’s seriously relaxing is just an added bonus, really.

#5. Alex Cosmetics Energizer Facial, POA

Best for: sun-damaged and ageing skin
This power-packed facial treatment is designed to stimulate microcirculation, which in turn revitalises sluggish or sallow skin that’s showing signs of premature ageing. The algae and fruit enzymes help to thoroughly cleanse the skin and encourage an increase in cell turnover, while the natural warming ingredients – including capsicum – are used to refresh and tighten the skin. Think of it as a bit of a kick up the butt for your face cells.

#6. Guinot Liftosome Facial, POA

Best for: dull, aged, slackening skin.
Your skin slackens and loses tone as you age, so this treatment aims to restore radiance and vitality to skin, while also firming, strengthening and lifting your features. A pro-collagen concentrate is applied to the skin to stimulate the cell turnover, and a gentle heat mask helps infuse the ingredients into the cells to also boost skin regeneration. As the mask sets, it redefines the contours of the face, and leaves your skin looking and feeling firmer, smoother and more radiant. Signs of fatigue are also reduced, as are fine lines and wrinkles, which is great for those who are slacking a little shuteye.

#7. DMK Eye Fusion

Best for: tired, puffy, aged eyes.
A wrinkled, crepey eye area can sometimes make you feel a decade older than you really are. And because eye creams sometimes just don’t cut it when it comes to combatting aged eyes, this treatment is ideal for revitalising this fragile area. It targets wrinkles, fine lines, puffiness and dark circles, leaving you looking well rested, hydrated and just that little bit more youthful.
