Aging Skin Treatments in Austin, TX

Changes in your skin are often one of the first signs of aging. Fine lines, uneven tone, dryness, and loss of firmness can appear gradually or seemingly all at once, affecting both how your skin looks and feels.

Aging skin treatment focuses on maintaining healthy skin, addressing visible changes, and preventing further damage. On this page, you’ll learn what causes skin aging, common concerns, and how dermatologic care can support long-term skin health.

At ProDerm Skin & Surgery in Austin, Dr. Sydney Larkin Proffer provides expert evaluation and treatment for aging skin, combining advanced medical training with a thoughtful, patient-centered approach.

Skin aging is influenced by a combination of natural and environmental factors. Over time, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, leading to thinner, less resilient skin.

• Natural aging and genetics
• Sun exposure and UV damage
• Environmental factors such as pollution
• Lifestyle factors including stress and smoking
• Slower skin cell turnover

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of firmness or elasticity
• Uneven skin tone or texture
• Dryness or roughness
• Age spots or discoloration

Treatment for aging skin depends on your specific concerns, skin type, and goals. A personalized plan may include medical, procedural, or cosmetic approaches.

Your dermatologist will discuss options during a consultation and help guide you toward treatments that align with your skin’s needs and long-term health.

At ProDerm Skin & Surgery, we offer a range of treatments designed to restore and refresh the skin’s appearance. Plans are tailored to each individual’s skin type, concerns, and goals. Options may include:

• Topical Prescriptions: Retinoids, brightening agents, and collagen-stimulating creams
• Neuromodulators (Botox®, Xeomin®, Dysport®): Soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement
• Dermal Fillers (Restylane®, Juvéderm®, Sculptra®): Restore lost volume and smooth deeper folds
• Microneedling & RF Microneedling: Stimulate natural collagen production for firmer skin
• Laser Treatments (Fraxel®, CO2, Laser Genesis): Improve texture, tone, and pigmentation
• Chemical Peels: Exfoliate and refresh the skin’s surface

Often, the best results come from combining treatments with a consistent at-home skincare routine.

While aging is natural, certain habits can help slow visible changes and protect your skin.

• Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen
• Consistent skincare routines tailored to your skin type
• Avoiding tanning beds and excessive sun exposure
• Regular skin exams to monitor changes
