Aging is a privilege, but that doesn’t mean we have to love every wrinkle, sunspot, or bit of sagging skin that comes with it. After 50, our skin naturally goes through changes: collagen production slows, skin loses elasticity, and years of sun exposure start to leave their mark. The good news? Modern med spa treatments can help rejuvenate your skin and highlight the natural beauty that’s always been there–all without surgery.
At Artemedica, we specialize in a wide range of non-invasive treatments designed to refresh, rejuvenate, and restore confidence at any age. Every service is tailored to your unique needs and goals, so you can enjoy long-lasting results that you truly love. In this guide, we explore the best age-defying med spa treatments for anyone over 50.
Read on to discover the top options to help you look and feel your best at any stage of life!
Best Med Spa Treatments for Anyone Over 50:
Neuromodulators: BOTOX, Dysport, & DAXXIFY
Fine lines and wrinkles are some of the first visible signs of aging. While this is completely natural, many prefer a smoother, more rejuvenated look—and that’s where neuromodulators come into play.
Neuromodulators, also known as wrinkle relaxers, are injectables that smooth out wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily deactivating the muscles that cause them. Some popular neuromodulators for men and women over the age of 50 include:
BOTOX
The first of its kind, BOTOX uses botulinum toxin type A to relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines. It gives you natural-looking results that last up to 4 months. It’s FDA approved for many different treatment areas, including worry lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, neck bands, and more.
Dysport
Also formulated with botulinum toxin type A, Dysport has smaller protein molecules that allow it to spread more easily in broader surface areas (like your forehead). Its FDA approved to treat severe frown lines (glabellar lines), with results lasting up to 5 months.
DAXXIFY
The newest FDA-approved neuromodulator, DAXXIFY also uses botulinum toxin type A. However, it’s the first of its kind to use a novel peptide as a stabilizer, which means it doesn’t contain any human or animal byproducts. It can treat crow’s feet, glabellar lines, gummy lines, trap muscles, and more—with results lasting anywhere from 4 to 6 months.
No matter which neuromodulator injection you choose, you can expect a smoother, more youthful appearance that still looks just like you.
Injectable Dermal Fillers
As we age, we naturally lose volume in certain areas of the face like the cheeks, lips, temples, and under the eyes. One reason this happens is due to a loss of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the skin. HA is a natural substance our bodies produce to maintain skin hydration and softness.
However, our HA production gradually starts to deplete as early as age 20, and it’s reduced to half by age 50.1 This can result in fine lines, wrinkles, and skin that just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to.
Injectable fillers offer a convenient solution. These relatively non-invasive treatments restore lost volume, smooth deep folds, and enhance your facial contours. Many of them are powered by HA to give you natural-looking results that last for months.
Here are some of our most popular injectable fillers:
Juvéderm Dermal Fillers
JUVÉDERM is an injectable dermal filler powered by hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate the skin from within. JUVÉDERM is FDA approved to treat many areas, including the cheeks, lips, chin, undereye, and more. Results last anywhere from 9 to 12 months.
Restylane Dermal Fillers
Restylane is another dermal filler that uses hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the skin. It’s FDA-approved to help soften smile lines, restore cheek volume, enhance your lips, and so much more. It’s completely non-invasive with very little downtime, and results last up to 12 months.
The injection specialists at Artemedica are happy to help you find the best injectable filler options for your needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
If fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, or sun damage are your main concerns, CO2 laser resurfacing can deliver dramatic, long-lasting results. This advanced treatment uses targeted beams of light to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulate collagen production, and reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion beneath.
For anyone over 50, CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most effective ways to address multiple signs of aging in a single treatment:
CoolPeel CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CoolPeel is a next-generation CO2 laser resurfacing treatment that delivers powerful results without a long or lengthy recovery. By precisely targeting only the superficial layer of skin, the CoolPeel laser resurfacing system minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, reducing downtime dramatically.
CoolPeel CO2 laser resurfacing is ideal if you want to improve fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and enlarged pores with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
SmartXide Tetra Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful tools for improving skin texture, tone, and firmness. This system uses beams of concentrated infrared light to target imperfections and remove damage on the outer layer of the skin. At the same time, it gently heats the underlying dermal layer to stimulate collagen production from within.
When your skin naturally regenerates, it’ll be smoother, tighter, and more youthful looking overall.
Both of these CO2 laser resurfacing treatments are FDA-cleared to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, age spots, and sun damage. Contact us to schedule a free consultation to find the best resurfacing treatment for you!
Sofwave Skin Tightening
Fine lines and sagging skin are all common concerns that often become more noticeable after 50. While these changes are completely natural, that doesn’t mean you can’t combat them.
Sofwave is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment, clinically proven to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin lift and firmness, with no downtime required. It uses powerful ultrasound therapy to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which are key to skin elasticity.
Sofwave is clinically proven and FDA-cleared to:
Sofwave is a great med spa treatment for anyone looking to reduce fine lines, restore youthful skin firmness, and lift to areas like the brows, neck, chin, or jawline.
TCA “No Peel” Chemical Peel
For many people over the age of 50, crepey skin, loss of firmness, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles are primary concerns. While chemical peels are a tried-and-true way to improve these signs of aging skin, they may not be a go-to option for anyone wanting to avoid downtime. That is, until now.
TCA “No Peel” Chemical Peels give you all the benefits of a traditional peel, minus the peeling and downtime. This revolutionary peel uses a unique blend of 33% TCA (trichloroacetic acid), hydrogen peroxide, and kojic acid. These ingredients sink deep into the skin’s dermal layer, stimulating your body’s natural production of elastin and collagen.
Over time, this leaves your skin looking and feeling tighter, smoother, and more supple. So, you get all the skin rejuvenation benefits of a traditional chemical peel—just without the peeling or irritation.
