Wrinkle Treatments
Anti-aging/Wrinkle Treatments
Wrinkles are the term we utilize to define the creases, crimps, or crinkled ridges in the body’s skin. They naturally appear on top of the skin due to sagging when people get older.
The first wrinkles that we observe growing prominent tend to appear on an individual’s face in various areas where the skin has become loose and naturally folds if the person makes certain facial expressions.
The wrinkles develop due to the skin maturing and, therefore, becoming thinner with age, losing the tightness and turning less elastic over time.
However, wrinkles may show on the skin earlier if a person tends to make facial expressions that involve skin creasing.
What is meant by Wrinkle Treatment?
Soft tissue fillers that include collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fat can be injected into the wrinkles formed on a person’s face. They are to plump and smoothen wrinkles and such grooves that have formed on one’s skin.
The patient may experience some temporary swelling, redness, and wounding in the areas that have been treated by medical treatment; but, the effect of the majority of these products used for treatment is temporary.
Removing the skin layers to diminish wrinkles or irregular depressions is a very effective way to retain smoother and youthful-looking skin for anyone.
Scraping the layers of skin away and dissolving the skin are the two most sought-after alternatives of the traditional methods employed in skin wrinkle treatment.
Treatments Offered
Wrinkle Treatments have undergone tremendous development over the years. With new ways of treating these loose folds of skin, the treatment process has been mechanized to free people from the signs of aging. These treatments have become further desirable than the previous methods.
The details of the wrinkle treatment services offered are described below:
BOTOX
Botox is drug doctors apply to treat wrinkles and creases on one’s face. Botox is a toxin, which is a well-known term one hears most often due to it being one of the leading injectable botulinum toxins in the history of medical treatments.
Botox hampers the signals from the nerves to the patient’s muscles. Therefore, the injected muscle cannot contract, making wrinkles relax and dissolve.
The effects after a Botox are observed usually last around three to six months. As the muscle activity slowly returns, the lines and the wrinkles begin to appear on the skin once more and need to be addressed again. However, these lines and wrinkles often seem less severe because the muscles shrink over time.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are alternatively called soft tissue fillers. These are substances intended to be injected underneath the skin’s surface to add strength and fullness, which is necessary to maintain a tight skin structure and reduce wrinkles.
The mineral compound Calcium hydroxyapatite found in bones is used in the Dermal filling method.
Hyaluronic acid, Polyalkylimide, Polylactic acid that stimulates the skin to make more collagen are also utilized in this process.
The time the Dermal filling method takes to work and how long they last also fluctuate depending on various important factors. However, fillers have been observed to last six months, while the others last up to around two years.
Thread Lift
Thread lift is a much shorter process, compared to all the others on the list, focusing on diminishing the signs of aging and involving the subcutaneous placement of threads that are uprooted to reach the desired skin lift effect.
It can help eyebrow sagging and cheek drooping, focusing on mid-face, cheek, and neck-lifting, in patients who desire to get their wrinkles treated.
These texturized threads help in achieving results faster than smoother threads and aim to produce collagen over a long period, as compared to other similar treatments.
HIFU
The HIFU facial treatment utilizes ultrasound to generate heat at a deep level in the patient’s skin. This heat damages skin cells that have been targeted, causing the body to repair them.
The body composes collagen to assist in cell regrowth of these specifically targetted areas; since collagen is a very vital substance in the skin that provides its natural structure and maintains skin elasticity.
According to the Cosmetic Surgeons, the treatment of HIFU can naturally tighten the skin of the neck and reduce the appearance of wrinkled cheeks.
The HIFU treatment is also effective in lifting drooping eyelids or eyebrows of the patients; it also smoothens the face’s wrinkles and tightens chest skin.
