Cosmetic Treatments in Your 50s
Your 50s may bring more noticeable changes in facial volume, skin firmness, wrinkles, pigmentation, and the appearance of the eyes, neck, chest, and hands.
At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, our board-certified dermatologists create comprehensive treatment plans using advanced injectables and laser, light, and energy devices to support natural results.
How Do Skin and Facial Features Change in Your 50s?
During the 50s, reduced skin renewal, hormonal changes, and cumulative sun exposure may make wrinkles, volume loss, pigmentation, and skin laxity more noticeable. Changes in hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production can affect skin hydration, firmness, and resilience.
The cheeks and temples may lose volume, while the jawline, neck, eyelids, and lower face may begin to appear less defined. Patients may also notice chest wrinkles, aging hands, visible veins, hair thinning, stubborn fat, acne scars, redness, and precancerous skin changes.

What Are the Best Facial Rejuvenation Treatments in Your 50s?
The best facial rejuvenation treatments in your 50s depend on whether the primary concerns involve wrinkles, volume loss, pigmentation, skin laxity, or texture. A comprehensive plan may combine resurfacing, injectables, skin tightening, and vascular treatments to address several layers of facial aging.
Take10
Take10 is a proprietary Cosmetic Laser Dermatology treatment designed to address multiple signs of aging within one coordinated plan. It may combine laser resurfacing, skin tightening, injectables, and other procedures selected according to the patient’s anatomy, skin condition, and recovery preferences.
Take10 may improve wrinkles, pigmentation, redness, uneven texture, facial volume loss, and skin laxity. Because each plan is developed by our board-certified dermatologists, the procedures included can vary from one patient to another.
Take10Eyes
Take10Eyes focuses on concerns affecting the upper and lower eye area, including fine lines, crepey texture, pigmentation, volume loss, and laxity. Treatment may combine laser resurfacing, injectables, or skin tightening depending on what is contributing to the patient’s appearance.
The skin around the eyes is delicate, so treatment planning must account for skin thickness, eyelid position, facial anatomy, and previous procedures. The goal is to create natural results without changing the patient’s unique expression.
Take5
Take5 may be appropriate for patients who want to address several facial concerns within a more focused combination treatment. Depending on the patient, Take5 may target pigmentation, redness, texture, fine lines, early laxity, or facial volume loss.
The exact combination is selected according to the patient’s needs and available recovery time.
Laser-Coring With UltraClear
UltraClear Laser-Coring removes microscopic columns of skin to address more advanced wrinkles, skin laxity, and textural changes. The surrounding tissue remains intact, supporting a controlled healing response and tissue remodeling.
UltraClear enhances fibroblastic function to support hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production. It may also be used in other treatment modes for scars, pigmentation, fine lines, and overall skin renewal.
For patients who want lighter resurfacing, 3DMIRACL may be considered for ongoing maintenance with less recovery.
Neuromodulators
Botox Cosmetic®, Dysport, Daxxify, Xeomin, and Jeuveau may soften forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines caused by repeated facial movement. Neuromodulators may also be used for masseter slimming in appropriately selected patients.
All injections are performed by our board-certified dermatologists with careful attention to facial movement and natural expression. Neuromodulators may be combined with fillers, resurfacing, or skin tightening when several concerns are present.
Fillers and Biostimulators
Dermal fillers such as Restylane® and Juvéderm® may restore or enhance volume in the lips, cheeks, temples, chin, and jawline. Treatment is selected according to the patient’s anatomy, areas of volume loss, and aesthetic goals.
Sculptra and Radiesse are biostimulatory injectables that may gradually improve structural support and skin quality. These treatments encourage hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production and may be combined with fillers when patients have both volume loss and changes in skin firmness.
IPL and Pigmentation Treatments
IPL may improve brown spots, sun damage, and diffuse redness. Selected patients may include IPL in a maintenance plan approximately every six months, depending on skin type, sun exposure, and treatment response.
PicoSure and PicoWay may be used for selected brown spots, pigmentation, and melasma concerns. Melasma requires careful treatment planning because heat and irritation may worsen discoloration in some patients.
Vbeam may be recommended for rosacea, persistent redness, and visible facial vessels. IPL, Clear + Brilliant, and 3DMIRACL® may address early pigmentation, uneven tone, and overall skin maintenance based on the patient’s specific concerns.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Ultherapy PRIME, Thermage FLX, XERF, and Sofwave deliver focused ultrasound or radiofrequency energy at different tissue depths. These treatments enhance fibroblastic function and support hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production.
The most appropriate option depends on skin thickness, the degree of laxity, the treatment area, and previous procedures. Some patients may benefit from alternating or combining these technologies within a longer-term treatment plan.
Chest Rejuvenation
Chest rejuvenation may combine IPL, vascular lasers, fractional resurfacing, UltraClear, RF microneedling, and medical grade skincare to address chest wrinkles, redness, pigmentation, and texture while supporting hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production.
Silhouette InstaLift Threads
Silhouette InstaLift threads may be considered for selected patients with mild to moderate facial laxity and may be combined with fillers, biostimulators, or laser, light, and energy treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Hand Rejuvenation
Hand rejuvenation may include fillers for volume loss, lasers or IPL for brown spots, and sclerotherapy for visible veins, allowing several signs of aging to be addressed within one coordinated plan.
Potenza RF Microneedling
Potenza RF microneedling combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy. It may improve enlarged pores, uneven texture, acne scars, and skin laxity.
The treatment supports fibroblastic function to enhance hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production. Settings can be adjusted according to the treatment area, skin type, and desired level of correction.
Fraxel and ResurFX may also be incorporated into acne scar treatment plans. Depending on scar type, treatment may include subcision, fillers, UltraClear, or a combination of procedures.
For active adult acne, Accure or photodynamic therapy may be considered. Professional facials, peels, and medical-grade skincare may also support clearer skin.
What Are the Best Body Contouring Procedures and Treatments for Other Areas?
Patients in their 50s may seek treatment for localized fat, reduced muscle tone, cellulite, scars, hair thinning, intimate wellness concerns, visible veins, or sun related skin changes. Treatment options may include:
- Body contouring: CoolSculpting, CoolTone, Cool³, liposculpture, and ThermiRF
- Hair loss: Regenerative treatments, prescription therapy, and topical care
- Cellulite: Sculptra, Z Wave, subcision, Ultherapy PRIME, Thermage FLX, and Sofwave
- Scars and stretch marks: UltraClear, Potenza RF microneedling, fractional laser resurfacing, subcision, and injectable support
- Intimate wellness: ThermiVA may address vaginal laxity and related intimate wellness concerns associated with childbirth, aging, or menopause.
- Visible veins: Sclerotherapy for leg veins, phlebectomy, vascular lasers, IPL, and Vbeam for the legs, hands, chest, or face
- Actinic keratoses and acne: Photodynamic therapy may be used to treat actinic keratoses as well as certain types of acne.
Laser, light, and energy treatments support fibroblastic function and hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production. The right combination depends on anatomy, medical history, and treatment goals.

5/5 STARS 
I trust Farzaneh Momeni completely with my skin. She is by far the best clinical aesthetician I’ve ever known. My skin has improved dramatically since I began monthly facials with her. Her treatments are 100% results-driven so if this is what you seek, look no further. Also, the entire Team at West Dermatology are top-notch. They’re always friendly, professional, & helpful, & greet everyone with a smile. 10 Stars all around!
My new regular cosmetic dermatology office. Dr Zubair is amazing and really patient with me. He has helped me over the last year with keloid scar removal, jaw Botox, and full facial acne scar treatment (ultra clear). The office is clean and the nursing/medical assistant staff is accommodating on all levels. I will always recommend this office and Dr Zubair to friends and family.
Most professional and most impressive! The service from the physicians to office staff is superb!
I live in Orange County and drove all the way out to see Dr. Wu because a friend of mine referred him (she had amazing results from her face and neck procedure). Dr. Wu is truly an artist! He made me feel extremely comfortable during my procedure. I was anxious when I got there, but he (and his staff) have such great energy and are so very kind and gentle that you can't help but feel at ease! The office was immaculate and they adhered to covid rules (sanitizing, temp checks, masks). This is my go-to place from now on and Dr. Wu is my go-to guy! Can't wait to see my final results! Thank you Phyllis (pre-op) for being so wonderful and informative! You were so very helpful and kind! I'll definitely be back!
Leysin and the entire team at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are fantastic. They are professional, caring and communicative. The laser treatment was comfortable, efficient and effective! I highly recommend this practice. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
Dr. Goldman is amazing! I came here for my permanent eyeliner removal (which is not offered anywhere near me), and they are completely removed in just one session. They use a special contact lens to protect your eyes from the laser, and there are no damages to my eyelashes. The healing was also nice and smooth. They have everything you need. I live almost 3 hours away, but it was totally worth the trip. For anyone who is looking to remove their permanent makeup, this is the right place to go :)-
Dr. Butterwick is fantastic, all of her team as well. They make sure your experience is pleasant and painless as possible. My tattoo removal and my injectables look amazing. I highly recommend her for any skin treatment.
Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was recommended to me by my dermatologist. He recommended Dr. Monica Boen. I'm so glad I took his recommendation. Everyone here at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was super nice and friendly. Very welcoming. I came here for hair removal treatment. I did 4 sessions with Dr. Boen. Dr. Boen made me feel so comfortable and at ease when I talked to her. She explained everything before she did my treatment. I loved that. She was really easy to talk to. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
This office is awesome. My visit today was with Dr. Groff. His bed side manner is so fun and welcoming. He understood my concerns and recommended a treatment plan that I feel was reasonable. I love his staff! They take there time to make sure you understand the treatment and after care. Everyone in the office, from the front desk to the nurses in the back, are so friendly and beautiful. They are very prompt and I trust my care with CLD. I can't wait for my next visit. See you guys in a few weeks!
"Dr. Sabrina Fabi is genius! Her technique is unlike anyone, her eye is precise, and her kindness and caring manner comes from the depth of her soul. She's simply brilliant! It's no wonder people travel the country just to be treated by her."
I wish I could give them 10 stars! I had such an awesome experience for my first visit and I am referring everyone I know to this office. From the super friendly staff to the state of the art procedures, they are the cream of the crop.
“I came to participate in a research study. All of the Doctors and staff at C.L. Dermatology are very professional, warm and friendly. All our my needs were anticipated and the hospitality of this office is like a five star hotel.”
