The Top 3 Anti-Aging Skin Treatments Being Used Today

These innovative techniques are the latest in skin smoothing/clearing and fixing our most obvious signs of maturity.
The Top 3 Anti-Aging Skin Treatments Being Used Today
By Nykia Spradley · Updated October 26, 2020

This feature was originally published in the ESSENCE February 2017 Issue.

1. Dark Circle Solves

If Black women have one aging tell, it would have to be the eyes. “Volume loss under the eyes creates a shadow, or a dark, hollow look. One of my most popular procedures is restoring that volume with a filler like Belotero,” says Henry.

As with any other filler, there may be slight bruising at the injection site, but there’s little to no downtime. For a less invasive approach, the Glytone Brightening Eye and Lip Professional Peel System With Enerpeel Technology, which runs from $100 to $150 per session, fades dark circles in approximately four in-office treatments.

This combo of gentle lactic and trichloroacetic acids targets excess pigment without causing too much irritation to the skin’s surface.

2. Texture And Tone Therapies

For smoothing out scars or rough texture, a laser may be the way to go. But because of hypo-and hyperpigmentation concerns, treating scars on Black skin is slightly more difficult.

“I’ve been getting good results with microneedling radio frequency devices like Infini,” says Henry. It delivers heat to the dermis to rebuild collagen without damaging the surface of the skin. Read: no pigment worries. “It’s safe,” says Henry.

3. Mask Mania

Though sheet masks have bubbled up as the skin care miracle of the moment, Jackson says they don’t provide much benefit beyond convenient delivery. But are they necessary? Think of them as the icing on the cake.

“It’s all about personalizing. Ask yourself, What do I need? Is your skin dull or blotchy? Then look for a mask with brightening ingredients like papaya extract,” says Henry. Formulas other than sheet masks are likely more effective.

Shop three of our favorites below:
