A Look at 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.

But what do wrinkle treatments involve? 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.

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. Wrinkles are just another name for the not very appealing lines that appear on one's face, and in the case of numerous lines, the problem is just compounded.

Botulinum toxin is used to smooth out the fine lines in one's face, and these wrinkle treatments can make a big difference aesthetically. Laser treatments, simple skin creams, and chemical peels are other options that are designed to accomplish this goal. While all of these are often used, it appears that botox injections are now becoming more and more popular. 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.

How long do treatments last for?

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. Botox injections are a dermal filler option that will typically last for months on end.

The comparison of cost and results

This kind of advanced facial wrinkle treatment can't be bought with pocket change. 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. Creams are obviously a lot cheaper but require more regular application, meaning they need to be purchased a lot more often. After a period of time, the proper cost of treatments and the results obtained can be measured more accurately. It looks like for treatment of facial wrinkles, dermal fillers such as botox treatments are the most economical, in the big picture. CO2 lasers are touted by certain physicians as being the treatments that are most cost effective.

Recovery time after treatment

No recovery time is necessary for skin creams. Microdermabrasion looks right now to likely be the quickest healing procedure of the specialized treatments available. 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

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.
