Information About Wrinkle Treatments

By Anne Fennell


With new developments happening all the time, treating facial wrinkles has become more specialized with a better understanding of cosmetic treatments. No one wants to be though of as "old" but sadly in this world, having younger looking skin is very important and if there are visible wrinkles others will not find a person as attractive.

How is the method of wrinkle treatments administered? Treatments in this area are offered by a wide variety of medical professionals, however, what information should you have before deciding? Below, we will look further into what these processes entail for wrinkle treatments.

What are 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.

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. 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?

Results for different treatments types vary according to which kind is administered. 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.

Price of treatment compared to effectiveness

For treatments such as these, it can't be done for a bargain price. 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. After a period of time, the proper cost of treatments and the results obtained can be measured more accurately. Overall however, it may be that botox injections and dermal fillers are the most cost effective amongst all the treatments available for face wrinkles. Some physicians believe that the CO2 laser is the most cost effective measure.

Downtime following procedures

No recovery time is necessary for skin creams. 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.

Synopsis

Wrinkle treatments for facial wrinkles are many. There are both good and bad points for each kind of treatment. Patients should take all of these things into careful consideration, including looking at the provider's credentials and experience, the price, and which treatments they feel they can handle best.
