While there are dozens of cosmetic procedures that can reverse the signs of aging and help you restore your youthful looks, it can take weeks – even months – to see a noticeable difference. 

Fortunately, some of today’s innovative skin treatments can deliver results immediately; you can head to the doctor’s office over lunch hour and return to work with a fresher, more youthful appearance.   

Think your looks need an instant lift? Consider any of these five anti-aging treatments to freshen up your skin and lose a few years in the process:  

Anti-Aging Treatment #1:  Juvederm Injectable Fillers

From plumping up the lips to filling out hollowed cheeks, Juvederm is quickly becoming a popular dermal filler for baby boomers and those with aging skin. Juvederm is versatile filler that helps plump up wrinkles and fine lines and restores the face to its youthful days – instantly. Some cosmetic surgeons are already using Juvederm as part of a ‘Liquid Facelift’ package.

Ideal candidates:  Individuals with loose or weak skin, sagging skin or skin that is not responding to typical facial treatments.  

Anti-Aging Treatment #2:  Titan Skin Tightening Laser

The Titan skin tightening treatment involves infrared light that is emitted deep into the skin’s layers; this painless procedure helps to ‘injure’ the skin tissues which in turn helps generate new skin cells and causes the tissues and muscles to contract. This process helps tighten and tone the facial skin, improving the contours of the face and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. 

Ideal candidates: Individuals with sagging skin, loose skin or skin that is not responding to other facial rejuvenation treatments.  

Anti-Aging Treatment #3:  The Lunchtime Peel

Chemical peels are a simple, non-invasive treatment that can stimulate collagen production and give your skin a firmer, tighter appearance. You’ll notice a difference immediately after leaving the doctor’s office, and can enjoy the benefits of skin rejuvenation for days and weeks afterwards as your skin continues to generate fresh skin cells and becomes tighter and toned.

Ideal candidates: Individuals with acne scars, skin pigmentation and superficial scars.  

Anti-Aging Treamtent #4:  Fraxel Laser

This laser resurfacing skin treatment is an easy way to get rid of age spots, acne scars and other signs of aging. Fraxel lasers work by heating up key areas of the dermis and stimulating fresh skin cells to grow. You’ll notice firmer and tighter skin immediately after the treatment, and the skin regeneration process for the weeks following treatment will help you keep that healthy glow.

Ideal candidates: Individuals with loose or sagging skin that is not responding to microdermabrasion, chemical peels and other facial rejuvenation procedures.  

Anti-Aging Treatment #5:  Photofacials

Photofacials make use of intense pulsed light to restore damaged skin cells and promote natural healing. Experts say you’ll get the most benefit after a series of treatments, but most people can see a noticeable improvement in the texture and tone of the skin right away. Intense pulsed light therapy can tighten and tone the skin, and also brightens up a dull complexion.

Ideal candidates: Sufferers of adult acne, individuals with skin pigmentation or an uneven skin tone.  

From Fraxel laser treatments to the lunchtime peel, you have several options for a mini-makeover that zaps away a few years.
