Are crows’ feet and smile lines giving away your true age? Wrinkles and fine lines add years to your appearance, and it may be too late to begin a wrinkle prevention plan.
Still, there are some ways to fight the signs of aging and stop the clock – at least temporarily. From dermal fillers to Fraxel laser treatments, here are just seven ways you can banish wrinkles for good:
Fraxel laser treatments target specific areas around the face known as the microthermal zone. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin’s layer to stimulate collagen and may improve overall skin health. The skin becomes tighter and more resilient with ongoing treatments, and the Fraxel laser encourages healthy facial tissue growth.
Chemical peels are another effective way to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines, but do require ongoing treatments to achieve long-lasting results. Chemical peels ‘burn’ the top layer of the skin and stimulate the layers underneath so that cells regenerate at a faster than average rate. Some of the most effective chemical peels for wrinkles include trichloracetic acid (TCA) and Phenol peels, and are potent enough to create dramatic results.
Microdermabrasion is a popular procedure at both medical spas and dermatology offices, and can be performed in under an hour. The skin is ‘sanded’ with aluminum oxide crystals to exfoliate the top layer of skin and stimulate the layer underneath. Frequent sessions can buff away dead skin cells to reveal fresh and healthier skin, and wrinkles can be reduced in size and depth after a few treatments.
Restylane injections are quickly becoming a popular choice in dermal fillers, simply because of the low downtime and immediate results. It is the number one selling cosmetic dermal filler in the US and worldwide, according to RestylaneUSA.com, and the procedure can help manage fine lines, wrinkles and even skin folds. While most people experience some swelling and pain from the procedure, side effects typically subside within a week.
Juvederm is a popular choice for lip augmentation, and lip plumping procedures may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the lips and around the mouth. Juvederm can also be used to treat other parts of the face and may improve fine lines and deep wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and cheeks. If you’re making the decision between Juvederm and Restylane, the most important considerations are pain, side effects and overall cost.
BOTOX can be used to correct wrinkles in the forehead, and may also reduce small wrinkles between and around the eyes. BOTOX injections received FDA approval in 2002, and most people enjoy noticeable results after only a few days. This anti-aging treatment continues to be a popular cosmetic treatment for both men and women, and has helped many people get rid of the telltale signs of aging.
Artefill is the first ever permanent filler on the market, and can help reduce smile lines, get rid of crows’ feet, and even improve the texture of the skin. This dermal filler boosts collagen production so that skin becomes stronger and more resilient with frequent treatments.
If you’re looking for the right anti-aging procedure to reduce fine lines and wrinkles for good, any of these seven treatments can help you get noticeable results. From laser treatments to chemical peels, consult with your dermatologist for a skin rejuvenation plan that provides lasting results.
