Lose the Wrinkles and Look Younger

By Anne Fennell


As of late, big gains have been made in the area of cosmetic procedures, and facial wrinkles are a heavy focus in this. It appears that we now live in a society where face wrinkles place you in a category of being 'old', and with more and more people now on the search for younger looking skin.

But what do wrinkle treatments involve? There are a lot of choices in where to receive these procedures, but what should a person know when considering treatment? Below, we will look further into what these processes entail for wrinkle treatments.

Exactly what is involved when getting wrinkle treatments?

Our skin is constantly exposed to a number of toxic substances such as automobile fumes, smoke and even the warming rays of the sun, all of which can damage the skin. Wrinkles are just another name for the not very appealing lines that appear on one's face, and in the case of numerous lines, the problem is just compounded.

Botulinum toxin is used to smooth out the fine lines in one's face, and these wrinkle treatments can make a big difference aesthetically. Laser treatments, simple skin creams, and chemical peels are other options that are designed to accomplish this goal. With all of these processes to be chosen from, it looks as if botox is becoming more well known all the time. However, these days anti-wrinkle creams are being advertised all the time, so while they may be popular they may not necessarily be the most effective.

Which of the available treatments will have the most benefit?

At this time, this can not be answered with a high degree of certainty. Facial wrinkles respond differently to different treatments in different patients, so it is hard to say which one would work the best. Dermal fillers such as botox injections are known to be effective in this, according to the information accumulated, and they seem to be favored by many.

What is the average length of the effects?

The effects correlate to the particular treatment that is provided. The amount of time that a skin cream will be noticeable is not long, and daily use may not even make a big difference. The effects of dermal fillers such as botox treatments last for months, as these methods are superior.

The comparison of cost and results

Treatment of facial wrinkles is not cheap. Advanced techniques such as dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation methods and botox injections can cost anywhere from $300 to $3000 (or even more) depending on the person that is performing the procedure. If someone doesn't mind applying skin creams every day and buying more often, this is an option for some. After a period of time, the proper cost of treatments and the results obtained can be measured more accurately. Botox and other dermal fillers are beginning to look like the most practical and cost effective treatment for facial wrinkles, over time. There are also some doctors who make the claim that the most economical means of reducing wrinkles is by CO2 laser.

Recovery time after treatment

There are no side effects to recover from when using skin creams, no healing required. However, amongst the more advanced treatments of facial wrinkles, it appears that microdermabrasion probably has the least downtime. This of course does not mean that it is the greatest treatment available, or that patients prefer the treatment process any more, as it is reported to be kind of unpleasant.

Summary

Wrinkle treatments for facial wrinkles are many. Each of them has their own upsides and downsides. The ultimate choice will depend on the patient, what they can afford, what they are prepared to undergo and the experience of the treating healthcare professional.
