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. When one has wrinkles on their face, the nature of the world today looks at them like they are "older", and such a big value is placed on a youthful looking face.

How is the method of wrinkle treatments administered? 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.

What are 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.

Removing wrinkles is achieved by using botulinum toxin, as it is an effective wrinkle treatment. 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.

Which of the available treatments will have the most benefit?

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. From the available data and result, it appears that dermal fillers and botox injection have very good results, which is probably why they are so popular.

How long do treatments last for?

This depends on the type of treatment patients decide to have. Skin creams have short lived effects and need repeat application often, sometimes daily to show any effect whatsoever. 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. Creams are obviously a lot cheaper but require more regular application, meaning they need to be purchased a lot more often. Cost effectiveness can only be calculated over a period of time as each patient may require treatments at different times. Overall however, it may be that botox injections and dermal fillers are the most cost effective amongst all the treatments available for face wrinkles. There are also some doctors who make the claim that the most economical means of reducing wrinkles is by CO2 laser.

Recovery time after treatment

Skin creams for wrinkles have no downtime whatsoever. Microdermabrasion looks right now to likely be the quickest healing procedure of the specialized treatments available. Having said that, this does not make microdermabrasion the best treatment as multiple treatments are required that can be rather uncomfortable to the patient.

Synopsis

There are a lot of choices available for the treatment of facial wrinkles. These different treatments have pros and cons that must be weighed by the patient. 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.
