These treatments usually require daily or
sometimes twice daily application of creams and lotions to the face to
prevent the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Some include a gentle
depilatory agent, stripping off the top layer of skin to reach the
healthier skin below. Most also include strong moisturizers as dry skin
can emphasize the appearance of wrinkles. Some even argue that the
moisture in their creams and lotions help plump the skin cells to help
them fill in the lines and wrinkles.
Of these creams, one of the newest and best to hit the
market is a Vitamin C lotion. Beginning in health spas around the world
and then leaking out to the general populace, Vitamin C as a skin
treatment has been quickly gaining in popularity. At first, the lotion was
applied by spas after facials to maintain the soft, clean skin brought out
by the facial. Then it was noted that Vitamin C effectively treated
wrinkles as well. The treatment is said to enhance skin’s natural healing
ability and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Another way some women are combating wrinkles is
through the use of botox and collagen injections. Collagen is used to
plump up an area and remove wrinkles by restoring a youthful look to the
area treated. Botox treatment for wrinkles involves a form of botulism
being injected to a particular area, often the forehead and area near the
eyes, to paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles there. The treatment
lasts four to six months and generally only appears irritated and red for
the first day after the treatment. Wrinkles are minimized because the
facial muscles used for furrowing the brow and other wrinkle-causing
movements are effectively frozen by the botox.
Another recent development in the war on wrinkles is
laser-skin resurfacing. Like chemical peels and facials designed to remove
the top layer of skin, laser-skin resurfacing is designed to remove layers
of skin and improve the look of the skin by revealing the healthier,
tighter skin beneath the surface.
Finally, some people still resort to the more
traditional method of fighting wrinkles, plastic surgery. With surgery
skin can literally be pulled tighter in an effort to get rid of wrinkles.
The most common kinds of wrinkle treatment via plastic surgery are brow
lifts which remove excess skin on the upper eyelid and improve the look of
drooping eyelids. The other common form of plastic surgery removes excess
skin under the eyes and removes wrinkles that way.
Whichever method people choose, the natural approach is
usually preferred by most as the skin refurnishes naturally, leaving no
scars and cuts. Great results have been achieved with all anti wrinkle
treatments so in the end, it is entirely up to the individuals
preferences.
