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. When one has wrinkles on their face, the nature of the world today looks at them like they are "older", and such a big value is placed on a youthful looking face.

How is the method of wrinkle treatments administered? 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.

Exactly what is involved when getting wrinkle treatments?

Toxins in the air are all around us, whether it comes from the exhaust from cars, the smoke from cigarettes, or the burning rays of the sun, skin takes it's share of damage and abuse. 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.

Wrinkle treatments are aimed at removal of wrinkles using a certain toxin called botulinum toxin. Other treatments can include chemical peels, laser treatments and even just plain old skin creams. 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.

What treatments make the most difference?

At this time, this can not be answered with a high degree of certainty. Everyone is different, so the treatments chosen are tailored to the specific needs of the patient. 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.

For how much time will a patient benefit from treatments?

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. More advanced treatments such as dermal fillers and botox injections can last a few months.

The comparison of cost and results

This kind of advanced facial wrinkle treatment can't be bought with pocket change. Skin rejuvenation treatments such as botox injections, and other specialized processes can cost as much as $3000 or more, or be somewhere closer to $300, it really depends on the provider. If someone doesn't mind applying skin creams every day and buying more often, this is an option for some. Cost effectiveness can only be calculated over a period of time as each patient may require treatments at different times. 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.

Downtime following procedures

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. 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.

Synopsis

Wrinkle treatments for facial wrinkles are many. There are both good and bad points for each kind of treatment. 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.
