Best Medspa Services for Women Over 50
One day we are twenty with perfect plump cheeks, and within the blink of an eye, those years of poreless, firm skin are behind us. Aging is a luxury not everyone will get to experience, so let’s celebrate growing older. Though your youthful appearance will begin to fade, your confidence doesn’t have to.
While so many aspects of our lives get better with age, our collagen production does not. Over time our skin elasticity decreases, fine lines and wrinkles appear, and those once plump cheeks lose volume causing excess skin. While some things are inevitable, it’s never too late to achieve glowing skin.
Everyone deserves to feel beautiful and we look forward to helping you enhance your natural beauty. Selecting a medspa service that is right for you can be overwhelming but blȯȯm MedSpa can help.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a fantastic way to restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles to achieve radiant skin. With a personalized treatment plan, blȯȯm can offer solutions to smooth wrinkles and add fullness back into your cheeks, forehead, mouth, neck, lips, and under eyes.
blȯȯm MedSpa offers many filler options to choose from, including Juvederm Volbella, Juvederm Vollure, Juvederm Voluma XC, and more. Our friendly clinician will explain the difference between each type of filler at your consultation.
Juvederm Volbella is ideal for patients with lip lines and crows feet. It is thin enough not to cause rippling near the surface of your face, though it may not eliminate very deep wrinkles.
Post-Treatment Recovery
While each Juvederm product offers different results, you are likely to see the results from your dermal filler for a minimum of 9-12 months. Minor bruising and swelling can be expected, but most patients continue normal activities 1-day post-treatment. Your physician may recommend icing the injected areas to help with swelling.
In addition to instant results, dermal fillers are also biocompatible, meaning your body will not have a toxic reaction once exposed. Though safer than plastic surgery, you should consult your physician if you have any bleeding disorders before receiving dermal fillers.
Botox
This injectable treatment is the gift that keeps on giving. While there are many cosmetic benefits to botox, there are several medical benefits as well. Known as the injectable that will freeze your face, botox was also approved by the FDA in the early 2000s to treat:
- Chronic Migraines.
- Hyperhidrosis.
- Overactive bladders.
If you’re not sold on the medical benefits, the cosmetic benefits are sure to win you over. Botox is most commonly injected to temporarily paralyze the muscles of the face that cause fine lines and wrinkles. Paralyzing the muscles of the face provides the opportunity to age gracefully without forming new wrinkles.
Preventative botox is on the rise. Many people in their 20s and 30s are beginning to receive botox treatments to prevent fine lines from ever forming.
Post-Treatment Recovery
Do not rub or sleep directly on your face immediately after injectable treatments, as the injectable can migrate and affect different areas of your face. While no downtime comes after this treatment, it is best to avoid consuming alcohol for 24 hours post-appointment.
Additionally, you should attempt to flex the muscles that were just treated. You can attempt to frown and raise your eyebrows. Flexing these muscles immediately after treatment helps the botox penetrate deeper into your muscles.
Facials
There are many treatment options to assist with the aging process, but facials have become a favorite amongst our patients. Facials are a relaxing, luxurious way to achieve facial rejuvenation, even skin tones, and boost collagen production!
You’re likely already doing skin care in the morning and evening, but did you know that your daily cleanser may be missing some built-up dirt and bacteria? Receiving a monthly facial can aid in the removal of dead skin, bacteria, and dirt that is trapped in your pores, leaving you with glowing skin.
When we look good, we feel good. Collagen production begins to slow down around age 25, so receiving skin treatments such as facial massages are a great way to increase circulation and rid yourself of dynamic wrinkles.
Post-Treatment Recovery
After your facial treatment, it is recommended to avoid:
- Harsh skin care treatments.
- Tanning beds.
- Direct sun exposure.
- Saunas.
Your skin will be vulnerable post-treatment so it’s best to keep your skin protected from excess heat for a few days. With consistent treatments every 4-6 weeks, you are sure to experience beautiful, glowing skin.
Chemical Peels
Removing the top layer of your skin allows texture balance, smaller pores, and fading of any discoloration. It takes between 7-14 days for the peel to blister and flake off. You can expect results to last between 2-6 months.
Though the face and neck are the most common areas for a chemical peel, they can also be applied to the arms, feet, chest, and back. There are different levels of chemical peels – light, medium, and deep. Your physician can recommend the best peel for you at your initial consultation.
Post-Treatment Recovery
After receiving a chemical peel, you may experience a “sunburn” feeling and some swelling. You may also experience blistering in places where the peel was applied. Washing your face with cool water, moisturizing, and staying hydrated is crucial to healing properly.
Because your face will be tender after a chemical peel, you may be looking for some relief. You can take a dry cloth wrapped around an ice pack and gently press it against your face.
Microneedling
Microneedling is the process in which tiny needles puncture target areas of the skin to increase collagen and elastin production. This anti-aging treatment rejuvenates the skin laxity and aids in erasing fine lines and dynamic wrinkles.
You may not see results immediately after your first session. Because the skin has been punctured to induce the production of collagen, your skin needs time to heal and create these beneficial proteins. Most patients see results within 4-6 weeks.
Post-Treatment Recovery
Like most medical spa treatments, it is recommended to keep the treated areas clean. Additionally, it is best to avoid excess sun after a microneedling session.
Though it may be uncomfortable, it’s important not to wash your face for at least 24 hours after receiving this service. You can wear makeup 1-2 days after your treatment, and be sure to apply moisturizer 1-2 times per day.
