Knock off a Few Years 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? In this article, we will examine wrinkle treatments in more detail.

Exactly what is involved when getting 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. The skin forms these wrinkles that are seen on the face, and the more there is, the less attractive some people consider you to be, unfortunately.

Removing wrinkles is achieved by using botulinum toxin, as it is an effective wrinkle treatment. Other treatments can include chemical peels, laser treatments and even just plain old skin creams. While all of these are often used, it appears that botox injections are now becoming more and more popular. There are those who use less effective products such as anti-wrinkle creams that have expensive ad campaigns backing them.

What treatments make the most difference?

Unfortunately there is no clear answer to this question. 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.

How long do treatments last for?

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

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. A less expensive option are skin creams, but they need to be used frequently, and products kept replenished. 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. Some physicians believe that the CO2 laser is the most cost effective measure.

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. 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.

Synopsis

A wide variety of treatments exist when it comes to facial wrinkle reduction processes. 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.
