Slow Down Ageing with Wrinkle Treatments

By Anne Fennell


Cosmetic treatments have advanced tremendously in the recent years, particularly when it comes to the treatment for facial wrinkles. 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.

What is the process of wrinkle treatments like? With so many offering the treatments, what is it you should be aware of before you opt for it? Below, we will look further into what these processes entail for wrinkle treatments.

What goes along with receiving wrinkle treatments?

Damage to our skin can come from a variety of sources, pollutants in the atmosphere coming from vehicle exhaust, potentially harmful UV exposure from the sun, smoke, many things contribute to this. This damage can result in the formation of fine lines on the skin called wrinkles, which can be cosmetically unpleasant to look at, especially if there are too many.

Botulinum toxin is used to smooth out the fine lines in one's face, and these wrinkle treatments can make a big difference aesthetically. To remove lines, all kinds of things are considered, basic skin cream of course, laser treatments, and chemical peels are also performed. With all of these processes to be chosen from, it looks as if botox is becoming more well known all the time. We see ads for products on the market constantly, but the truth is that anti-wrinkle creams can only do so much to make wrinkles less noticeable.

Which is the most effective treatment?

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. The effectiveness of treatments using botox injections or other dermal fillers is well known, so more and more people appear to be choosing this method.

How long do treatments last for?

Results for different treatments types vary according to which kind is administered. Skin creams have short lived effects and need repeat application often, sometimes daily to show any effect whatsoever. The effects of dermal fillers such as botox treatments last for months, as these methods are superior.

Cost and cost efficiency

Treatment of facial wrinkles is not cheap. The process chosen and the treatment provider are the deciding factors in cost, it can be around $300 or even up to $3000 or more, as these advanced treatments take specialized equipment, materials, and training. If someone doesn't mind applying skin creams every day and buying more often, this is an option for some. Treatments over time can be more closely examined, and the cost effectiveness of each one can be determined. It looks like for treatment of facial wrinkles, dermal fillers such as botox treatments are the most economical, in the big picture. There are also some doctors who make the claim that the most economical means of reducing wrinkles is by CO2 laser.

The healing process following treatments

There are no side effects to recover from when using skin creams, no healing required. Of all the treatments on the market, microdermabrasion is looking to be the most speedy recovery when treating wrinkles. Just because it is the fastest, doesn't necessarily mean it is the most effective or the treatment that patients have the easiest time enduring.

Conclusion

A wide variety of treatments exist when it comes to facial wrinkle reduction processes. These different treatments have pros and cons that must be weighed by the patient. 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.
