Seven Quick Fixes to Get Rid of Wrinkles


Advertisement

 

Fine lines and wrinkles can add decades to your appearance, but facelift surgery isn’t the only option for achieving a youthful look. 
 
Today’s innovative anti-wrinkle treatments such as intense pulsed light (IPL), microdermabrasion and dermal fillers can rejuvenate the appearance within days, and help to diminish or eliminate the telltales signs of aging. If you’ve noticed crow’s feet around your eyes, fine wrinkles around the mouth or loose skin around the jawline, consider any of the following quick fixes to stop the clock:
 
1. Laser resurfacing – one of the most effective ways to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines is with laser resurfacing technologies such as Fraxel. The Fraxel laser continues to be one of the most popular anti-aging procedures, and can effectively get rid of age spots, skin discoloration and unwanted lines.

2. Microdermabrasion – this non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure helps to buff away dead skin cells and eliminates very fine lines and wrinkles in delicate areas of the face. The development of fine lines can be a sign of premature aging, and these are difficult to hide with makeup and cosmetics. Microdermabrasion helps to buff down the skin enough to reduce the appearance of these lines and leave you with fresh and smooth skin.
 
3. Chemical peels – intensive but painless peels such as the Vi peel can even out an uneven skin tone and also eliminate signs of aging. The Vi Peel is proving to be particularly effective at diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and fine liens, and since it triggers collagen production, you may notice continuing results over a period of weeks after the treatment. Increased collagen makes skin firmer, tighter and more toned, helping you achieve a sculpted and more youthful look regardless of your age.

4. Thermage - Thermage is a skin tightening treatment that also triggers collagen production. This treatment heats up the dermis by emitting high-frequency energy directly into the skin; the skin begins to contract and becomes firmer, tighter and more toned after a few days. A series of Thermage treatments can effectively reduce or eliminate wrinkles and give you a healthier, more youthful glow.
 
5. Injectable fillers – dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Botox continue to be popular procedures for eliminating fine lins and wrinkles and freshening up the face. These injectables can be administered within minutes and provide instant results.   A combination of these fillers may be used to perform a ‘Liquid Facelift’ for enhanced results.

6. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy – this skin rejuvenation treatment helps diminish age spots, fine lines and wrinkles while tightening up the skin. Powerful light energy waves help speed up the cell turnover rate which in turn creates smoother and more youthful-looking skin. A series of IPL treatments can help clear up discoloration and eliminate fine lines in problem areas such as around the eyes, lips and nose.

7. Facial acupuncture – Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for several centuries for natural healing and skin rejuvenation treatments. Facial acupuncture can stimulate collagen production which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and give you a healthier glow. The procedure can be administered in under an hour, and the effects can be seen within a few days.
