Wrinkle Removal

What are the treatments for wrinkle removal?

Though some of the factors like heredity and dry skin type can't be controlled, but there are certain precautions that can be followed to minimize the chances of getting wrinkles like avoiding smoking, sun-light exposure, regular use of Sunscreens, maintaining a healthy diet, keeping body in optimum healthy condition etc. Apart from that, there are treatments to remove wrinkles or to delay them. These treatments help us to get rid of wrinkle problems and help us to retain the youthfulness of the skin.

• Medications – Retinoids, Alpha- hydroxy acids, anti-oxidants, moisturizers, glycolic acid peels are effective medications that reduce fine wrinkles, signs of aging and skin pigmentations and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
• Microdermabrasion- Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure which is used to remove wrinkles, acne scars, and coarse skin. This technique removes the topmost layer of the skin and stimulates cell growth in underlying skin layer.
• Laser Resurfacing- technique uses short concentrated pulsing beams of laser to treat skin irregularities. This treatment removes the damaged skin surface precisely and minimizes facial wrinkles, acne scars, and face lines. After several sessions of treatment, the skin looks firmer and refreshed.
• Botox- Botulinum toxin, which is commonly known as Botox is an injection which is used to relax muscles that stimulate “face lines”. The technique removes the wrinkles and improves the overall skin appearance. The treatment can be applied on the forehead, lines between the eyes and lines around the corners of eyes.
• Fillers- The fillers are injected into the skin to give more volume and to soften the wrinkles and folds. Most commonly preferred fillers by dermatologists are hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse). To get lasting results, the treatment should be repeated every few months.
• Chemical Peels- It is a chemical solution applied to the skin. It produces dead skin, and the dead skin eventually gets peeled off. After a chemical peel, new skin is regenerated which is smoother and less wrinkled than previous skin. Chemical peel treatment removes wrinkles, retains smoothness and improves overall skin quality. Apart from these treatments, facelift and plastic surgery are other effective solutions to remove or delay wrinkles.
