Age is one factor that no man or woman can ever defy. Aging is an inevitable part of our life and so are the wrinkles and fine lines that come up due to the same. Advanced skin rejuvenation treatments can help you to restore a youthful appearance.
As age increases, our skin starts looking dull and lackluster. We lose a little of our natural glow, making us look older.
And those wrinkles… They seem just too eager to give away your age.
So, what are we expected to do? Simply accept it as a part of life? Well… Not exactly! Though aging is inevitable, accepting the lines of aging is not!
You can defy these signs of aging by undergoing advanced skin rejuvenation treatments.
Let me introduce you to some of the best skin therapies that can reduce wrinkles and fine lines and restore the youthful glow on your skin.
Which are the best skin rejuvenation treatments for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots?
1. Dermal fillers
If you compare your photos taken recently to those taken in your 20s, you will see a difference in the lower part of your chin. Your recent photos will show the skin of the chin a bit loose as if it is hanging.
And in your earlier photos, the same portion of your face will look firm as if the skin is sitting tightly over the underlying jaw enhancing your jawline.
These changes in your facial features occur due to the loss of volume of the face. The reduced production of collagen and elastin in the skin due to aging can loosen up the skin matrix causing it to appear lax.
These signs of aging can be managed perfectly by using dermal fillers. Dermal fillers contain compounds that can add volume to your skin and make it appear plump and fuller.
Dermal fillers can be injected into the skin of the face, especially the cheeks, chin, and lips to help these parts look fuller and more youthful. You may need just 2 to 3 sessions of dermal fillers to restore the lost volume of the face.
The results would be noticeable after the first session itself and improve further after the next sessions. [1]
It is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment, which means it requires no incisions or anesthesia. This is what makes dermal fillers a safe and convenient treatment for those looking for quick results. [2]
2. Botox
Different types of Botox injections derived from botulinum toxin A or B can be used to treat a wide range of skin issues including wrinkles and age spots.
Botox is suitable for treating dynamic wrinkles or creases on the skin formed due to the contractions of the muscles. [3]
Most patients need about 3 to 4 sessions of Botox to reduce the lines of aging on the forehead, near the corners of the eyes, between the eyebrows, and around the lips. [4]
3. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are suitable for the treatment of wrinkles, scars, and discolored patches and spots on the skin. It can be performed alone or even combined with other cosmetic treatments. [5]
According to the skincare experts at Mayoclinc, “A light (superficial) chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis). It’s used to treat fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone, and dryness. You might have a light peel every two to five weeks.” [6]
You can also choose medium or deep chemical peels to restore the youthful appearance of your skin. A medium chemical peel would help to remove dead cells from the epidermis and dermis. It would reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars and improve skin tone.
Deep chemical peels can be used to remove the damaged skin cells from the deeper layers. It is also suitable for treating deeper wrinkles, and precancerous growths.
4. Laser Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing works by removing the outer layer of the skin that comprises of dead and damaged cells. It can restore the natural glow on your face by removing the old skin cells and stimulating the regeneration of new cells. [7]
These new cells can replace the dead cells thereby allowing you to look younger. It can also tighten the skin and help it look firmer and elastic.
5. Microdermabrasion
This treatment is suitable for removing age spots, stretch marks, enlarged pores, hyperpigmented patches, and acne scars.
During this procedure, the physician sprays small crystals on the surface of the skin using a handheld instrument.
The crystals then exfoliate the skin, while simultaneously using suction to remove the dead skin cells and crystals. This can remove the dead cells accumulated on the skin surface and restore the naturally vibrant glow on your face. [8]
According to the skincare experts at MedicineNet, “Microdermabrasion has advantages of low risk and rapid recovery compared to the other more invasive resurfacing methods such as dermabrasion, chemical peeling, and laser resurfacing. Since microdermabrasion produces only a very superficial depth of skin removal, it works best on improving conditions on the surface of the skin such as early photoaging (sun damage), fine lines, age spots, acne, and superficial scarring. Although the face is the most common area for microdermabrasion, any skin area, including neck, chest, back, and hands, maybe treated.” [9]
6. Acne Blue Light Therapy
This therapy is aimed at targeting the bacteria that accelerate the signs of aging and worsen skin imperfections. It is also suitable for reducing acne in young girls and older women.
This treatment is recommended for reducing acne eruptions that develop due to the hormonal fluctuations occurring during menopause.
However, the treatment needs to be combined with other appropriate therapies including hormonal medications for producing a long-term improvement in the symptoms. [10]
