Anti Wrinkle Skin Treatment

Anti wrinkle skin treatments are used to fight wrinkles, sagging, dark circles, cellulite and many other signs of aging. When compared to the regular use of creams, lotions, and serums, the beneficial effects of treatments are faster but more expensive.

There is a wide range of anti wrinkle skin treatments available for almost every part of the body, and many treatments have been developed and perfected to such an extent that plastic surgery can be avoided. The following are just a few of the more popular and advanced skin treatments available to fight wrinkles and other signs of aging:

Botox

A procedure that injects a botulinum toxin into certain muscles to block nerve impulses--usually used on the forehead, crow’s feet area, and the lines from the nose to the mouth. The end result is the disappearance of wrinkles in the area for about four to six months.

Chemical peel

An application of a solution that peels away the top layers of the skin to improve texture, rebuild collagen and diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and skin discolorations. Some common chemical ingredients used are alpha hydroxyl acids, beta hydroxyl acid, trichloroacetic acid, and phenol.

Collagen injection

An injection of collagen into wrinkled areas, usually lips, to help skin look smoother.

Facial acupuncture

Tiny needles are inserted into the face to increase energy circulation, thus resulting in healthier, younger, and more vibrant looking skin.

Galvanic current

Ampoules of negative polarity are applied to the skin with a roller to provide positive polarity into deep layers of the skin. This maximizes the circulation of the skin which then increases the penetration of anti wrinkle products that are subsequently applied topically. This procedure can help stimulate collagen and elastin, reduces age spots, and even out skin tone.

Microdermabrasion

This procedure uses a machine to deliver a flow of aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin for intense exfoliation. This is used to diminish fine lines, large pores, and age spots. A minimum of six treatments is need for the best results, and there is practically no recovery time.

Oxygenating facial

Oxygen is compressed and sprayed at a high pressure directly onto the skin surface. This is used to smooth, plump and decongest the skin. It also can restore balance and provide a warm glow to the complexion. The effects are almost instant and can last up to 48 hours.

Photofacial rejuvenation

An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the skin to improve sun damaged skin and skin texture, diminish age spots and dark circles around the eyes, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Therma cool

Radio frequencies are applied to the skin with a device used to produce heat in the tissue below the skin surface. This is done to tighten skin and improve skin tone.

The results can vary from person to person, so keep your expectations realistic. Consult a medical professional to learn more about costs, side effects, and recovery time. Only purchase treatments that are sold and administered by qualified licensed medical professionals.
