A Natural Approach to Facial Rejuvenation After 40
How to Look Refreshed — Not Overdone — After 40
Most women over 40 don’t want to look different.
They don’t want to look “filled,” frozen, or overdone.
They want to look rested. Healthy. Like themselves — just a little more vibrant.
The truth is, aging doesn’t happen overnight. It’s subtle. A gradual loss of collagen. A softening of structure. Skin that doesn’t bounce back quite the way it used to.
The good news? The solution can be just as subtle.
IV Nutrient Therapy: Supporting Skin & Vitality from Within
IV therapy delivers hydration, vitamins, antioxidants, and targeted nutrients directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. Many patients choose IV treatments to support:
• Energy levels
• Skin glow and hydration
• Immune health
• Recovery and inflammation support
When combined with aesthetic treatments, IV therapy can enhance overall results by supporting circulation, nutrient delivery, and cellular health from the inside out.
Dermal Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
Examples include products like Juvéderm® and Restylane®. These fillers provide immediate volume and hydration, making them ideal for softening lines, enhancing lips, or restoring subtle cheek support. They are versatile, customizable, and can be adjusted or dissolved if needed.
Collagen-Stimulating Fillers (Sculptra® / Radiesse®)
Unlike traditional fillers, these products stimulate your body’s own collagen production over time. Results develop gradually, improving skin firmness and structure in a way that looks very natural. They’re often chosen by patients who want long-term improvement rather than instant volume.
Neuromodulators (Botox® / Dysport®)
While technically not fillers, these treatments relax targeted muscles that cause expression lines. Used conservatively, they soften wrinkles while preserving natural facial movement.
Supporting Collagen at Every Age
At DrTen20, options may include:
-
Collagen-stimulating injectables
-
Conservative dermal filler placement
-
Neuromodulators
-
IV nutrient therapy to support circulation and cellular health
The goal isn’t to reverse time.
It’s to support the structural changes that naturally occur — in a way that feels balanced and authentic.
Aging isn’t something to fear — it’s something to understand. Every decade brings changes, but it also brings confidence, clarity, and character. The goal isn’t to look 30 again. It’s to look vibrant and well-rested at the age you are. When collagen support is approached thoughtfully, the result isn’t transformation — it’s alignment. You still look like yourself. Just refreshed, supported, and fully at home in your own skin.
How Collagen Loss After 40 (and 60+) Changes Your Face
Collagen is the structural protein that keeps skin firm, supported, and resilient. Starting in our 30s, we lose about 1% of collagen each year — and the decline accelerates after menopause.
The result isn’t sudden aging. It’s gradual change.
What Actually Happens
Keep this simple and real:
1. Volume Shifts
The cheeks flatten slightly. The jawline softens. Support structures lose density.
2. Skin Thinning
Skin becomes less elastic and more delicate, making fine lines more noticeable.
3. Changes in Texture
Slower cellular turnover and reduced circulation can affect tone and radiance.
4. Bone & Structural Changes
Subtle bone density shifts can alter facial balance over time.
Why Creams Alone Don’t Solve It
Topical skincare supports the surface.
Collagen loss happens deeper.
That’s why many patients explore treatments that stimulate collagen production or restore structural support more strategically.
If you’ve been considering a subtle refresh, the first step is a thoughtful consultation. At DrTen20, every treatment plan is customized to enhance — not change — your natural features.

What Our Clients Are Saying
★★★★★
“I was nervous about doing anything to my face because I didn’t want to look”over done”. Dr. de la Torre took a very conservative approach and explained everything clearly. The results are subtle, but I look more rested and refreshed — and no one can quite put their finger on what changed.”
Lela V., Verified Client
★★★★★
“In my 60s, I wasn’t trying to turn back the clock — I just wanted to feel more confident when I looked in the mirror. The collagen-stimulating treatments made a gradual difference, and I love that it happened naturally over time. I still look like me, just a healthier version.”
James K., Verified Client
★★★★★
“What I appreciate most is that there was no pressure and no upselling. The plan was thoughtful and tailored to my face, not a trend. Between the injectables and IV support, my skin looks brighter and my energy is better. It feels like a complete approach.”
