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. 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? 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?

Our skin is constantly exposed to a number of toxic substances such as automobile fumes, smoke and even the warming rays of the sun, all of which can damage the skin. 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. Other treatments can include chemical peels, laser treatments and even just plain old skin creams. The popularity of botox treatments is gaining ground quickly, despite the other options available. We see ads for products on the market constantly, but the truth is that anti-wrinkle creams can only do so much to make wrinkles less noticeable.

Which of the available treatments will have the most benefit?

Unfortunately there is no clear answer to this question. Depending on the patient and the type of wrinkles on their face, a treatment that will help them best will be determined and administered. 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.

For how much time will a patient benefit from treatments?

The effects correlate to the particular treatment that is provided. 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

For treatments such as these, it can't be done for a bargain price. 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. Treatments over time can be more closely examined, and the cost effectiveness of each one can be determined. Botox and other dermal fillers are beginning to look like the most practical and cost effective treatment for facial wrinkles, over time. CO2 lasers are touted by certain physicians as being the treatments that are most cost effective.

The healing process following treatments

Skin creams for wrinkles have no downtime whatsoever. However, amongst the more advanced treatments of facial wrinkles, it appears that microdermabrasion probably has the least downtime. This of course does not mean that it is the greatest treatment available, or that patients prefer the treatment process any more, as it is reported to be kind of unpleasant.

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.
