Wrinkle Treatments with Facial Rejuvenation: Improve Your Skin
Wrinkle treatments with facial rejuvenation are popular methods to improve your skin and look younger. From facial creams to skin resurfacing to surgical procedures, there are a variety of options available, one of which is likely just what you are looking for.
Among the many types of wrinkle treatments available, among the most popular are: collagen or Botox injections, facelifts, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing and wrinkle creams.
Of these, wrinkle creams are probably the most popular because they are the less invasive. Many are available over the counter although there are many that are offered by prescription only from a licensed dermatologist.
Chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing are methods to erase fine lines, dry skin patches, freckles and blotchiness. They can also be used to correct scars. Many of these can be done with over the counter products in the privacy of your own home. These are similar to procedures that may be performed in a dermatologist’s office or at a beauty salon or day spa.
Collagen injections are used to fill in wrinkles or sunken facial areas while Botox injections paralyze selected facial muscles to relax them, thus reducing wrinkles.
There are a variety of facelift procedures available to treat specific areas: the forehead, eyebrows, nose chin and neck. These are surgical procedures that can last five to 15 years depending on the procedure.
With so many options available, how do you choose which wrinkle treatments are best for you? First of all, look in the mirror and decide what you want changed. Do you have facial scars or freckles that you dislike? Are you tired of those crow’s feet or that double chin? Do you have parentheses around your mouth that are making you look older?
Next, consider whether you know anyone who has had facial rejuvenation work done. Do you like the results? Ask him or her about the work they had done and who performed it. Were they satisfied? Were there any side effects? Would they recommend the procedure or the product?
If you decide to proceed with an over the counter wrinkle treatment, read product reviews to determine whether it is within your price range and whether it is a treatment you can and would do consistently to retain the results.
If you decide to undergo a surgical procedure, consult a qualified dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. Ask about his or her credentials. You should also ask about costs, side effects and recovery times. Most facial rejuvenation procedures are not truly permanent so you should ask how often the procedure would need to be repeated. Definitely ask to see before and after photos to be sure that the results are what you want.
Keep in mind that most wrinkle treatment procedures are not covered by insurance and prices can range from about $400 for a collagen or Botox injection to about $5,000 for a facelift.
Wrinkle treatments are a multi-billion dollar industry with many options to suit your particular needs. With such a wide range of choices, why not consider how to improve your skin today?
