Shed the Dead This October

One important factor that keeps our skin looking fresh and radiant is skin cell turnover. In this blog post, we will explore what skin cell turnover is and its benefits for complexion and overall skin health–particularly, for aging and acne-prone skin. We will also tell you how Microneedling and Chemical Peels can help you enhance this process.

What is Cellular Turnover?

Skin cell turnover, also known as epidermal cell turnover, is the natural process in which our skin sheds dead skin cells and replaces them with new ones. This renewal process occurs in the outermost layer of the skin, called the epidermis. The cycle typically takes about 28 to 40 days, which is why we often recommend services and sessions every 4-6 weeks here at Juvly! Various factors—including age, genetics, and overall skin health—can influence your skin’s timeline. 

How Does Increasing Cell Turnover Benefit You?

A higher cell turnover rate offers numerous advantages for the skin, including:

• Improved Texture: Regular shedding of dead cells helps keep the skin surface smooth, promoting a youthful and vibrant appearance.
• Improved Tone: By eliminating old, pigmented cells, cell turnover can reduce the appearance of discolorations, such as age spots and sunspots.
• Prevention: Enhanced cell regeneration helps blemishes heal more quickly, reducing the risk of scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentatioAs we age, the natural cell turnover rate slows down, making it crucial to find ways to stimulate this process. The stimulation of this process in turn: 
• Increases Collagen Production: Collagen production begins to decline in the mid-to-late 20’s. By age 40, collagen levels drop significantly, leading to visible signs of aging. A higher turnover rate encourages greater collagen production, helping to maintain skin elasticity and firmness. 
• Reduces Wrinkles: Stimulating cell turnover can minimize fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
• Reduces Clogged Pores: Regular cell turnover helps avoid buildup of dead skin cells and excess oil, reducing the likelihood of breakouts.

Boost Your Skin Regeneration This October!

As we transition into the fall season, it’s the perfect time to rejuvenate your skin. Our favorite treatments are Microneedling and Chemical Peels—two powerful treatments designed to boost skin cell turnover and leave your complexion looking fresh and revitalized.

The Blood Facial (Microneedling): This innovative treatment creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing the skin’s natural healing process. The result? A smoother, tighter, and younger-looking complexion. We recommend incorporating this treatment into your self-care routine every 4-6 weeks for a series of treatments or alternatively, once a quarter. 

Chemical Peels: Our chemical peels exfoliate the outer layer of skin, removing dead cells and revealing a rejuvenated layer underneath. Chemical peels can effectively address issues like uneven tone, texture, and signs of aging.

Both treatments complement your skin’s natural regeneration process, supercharging your skin’s ability to renew itself and helping you achieve the radiant look you desire.

How to Increase Cellular Turnover at Home-

While medical aesthetic treatments significantly enhance cell turnover, you can also boost this process at home by:

• Exfoliating Regularly: Incorporate physical and chemical exfoliants into your skincare routine. We have several exfoliating skincare cleansers at Juvly Aesthetics, such as those that include alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids. 
• Retinols: Daily use increases cell turnover, reducing wrinkles, and promoting collagen production. Unsure where to start? Our expert  team can create a customized regimen to help you reach your skin goals.
• Healthy Lifestyle: drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet , prioritize sleep and minimize stress with exercise and meditation.

Cellular turnover is crucial for maintaining a vibrant and healthy complexion. As we age, this vital process can slow down, but with the right approach—including our targeted treatments, a balanced lifestyle, and effective medical grade skincare products—you can support and enhance skin regeneration!
