Botox injections

Botox injections work by blocking nerve impulses that cause certain muscles to move. This relaxes those muscles. As a result botox injections are best for wrinkles caused due to repetitive facial expressions like frowning, smiling or squinting.

Good examples of such wrinkles are frown lines, forehead wrinkles and smoker’s lines. Now with botox you have to repeat the procedure every three months. Also botox injections though cosmetic in nature must be done by a health care professional.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are injections that consist of hyaluronic acid. This acid helps to moisturize the skin and plumps it up. As a result the wrinkles on your skin become less visible. It also helps the skin to stretch and flex.

Dermal fillers are good for wrinkles that are formed due to aging. They also work on wrinkles formed by repetitive facial expressions. The procedure can be conducted by a doctor as well as a cosmetician. Dermal fillers can last for a year.

Chemical peels

As we age the skin turnover rate or the rate at which new skin is grown slows down. As a result our skin looks dull, resulting in a person looking older. In chemical peeling a chemical solution is applied to the skin which removes the dull top layers.

Now the new skin that will grow will have lesser winkles, scars and will be radiant. This procedure has to be done by a health care professional. The results will last depending upon the peel used from a few months to lifetime.

Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to heat up the skin. This is done with the purpose of improving the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Collagen and elastin prevent formation of wrinkles and hyaluronic acid diminishes the visibility of wrinkles.

The procedure has to be performed by a health care professional and will last for about a year. If you are undergoing the procedure on a regular basis then the effects will last longer.

Micro needling

This is a minimal invasive treatment procedure that helps to improve collagen levels in the skin. In this procedure pinpricks will cause injury to your skin. This will result in your skin producing collagen rich tissue.

Micro needling is usually combined with radiofrequency and topical creams. The procedure must be done by a health care professional and the results will last for three to five months.

Other treatments

Laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion are other two popular treatments that are non-surgical and are used to have younger looking skin.
