As of late, big gains have been made in the area of cosmetic procedures, and facial wrinkles are a heavy focus in this. No one wants to be though of as "old" but sadly in this world, having younger looking skin is very important and if there are visible wrinkles others will not find a person as attractive.
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? Here we take a closer look at wrinkle treatments in general.
What are wrinkle treatments?
Toxins in the air are all around us, whether it comes from the exhaust from cars, the smoke from cigarettes, or the burning rays of the sun, skin takes it's share of damage and abuse. The skin forms these wrinkles that are seen on the face, and the more there is, the less attractive some people consider you to be, unfortunately.
Wrinkle treatments are aimed at removal of wrinkles using a certain toxin called botulinum toxin. Other treatments can include chemical peels, laser treatments and even just plain old skin creams. With all of these processes to be chosen from, it looks as if botox is becoming more well known all the time. There are those who use less effective products such as anti-wrinkle creams that have expensive ad campaigns backing them.
Which is the most effective treatment?
This is a matter of debate right now, there is no definite answer. Everyone is different, so the treatments chosen are tailored to the specific needs of the patient. The effectiveness of treatments using botox injections or other dermal fillers is well known, so more and more people appear to be choosing this method.
What is the average length of the effects?
Results for different treatments types vary according to which kind is administered. Skin creams have short lived effects and need repeat application often, sometimes daily to show any effect whatsoever. Botox injections are a dermal filler option that will typically last for months on end.
Price of treatment compared to effectiveness
Treatment of facial wrinkles is not cheap. Skin rejuvenation treatments such as botox injections, and other specialized processes can cost as much as $3000 or more, or be somewhere closer to $300, it really depends on the provider. If someone doesn't mind applying skin creams every day and buying more often, this is an option for some. After a period of time, the proper cost of treatments and the results obtained can be measured more accurately. Overall however, it may be that botox injections and dermal fillers are the most cost effective amongst all the treatments available for face wrinkles. There are also some doctors who make the claim that the most economical means of reducing wrinkles is by CO2 laser.
Downtime following procedures
No recovery time is necessary for skin creams. Of all the treatments on the market, microdermabrasion is looking to be the most speedy recovery when treating wrinkles. Just because it is the fastest, doesn't necessarily mean it is the most effective or the treatment that patients have the easiest time enduring.
Conclusion
There are a lot of choices available for the treatment of facial wrinkles. Each of them has their own upsides and downsides. The ultimate choice will depend on the patient, what they can afford, what they are prepared to undergo and the experience of the treating healthcare professional.
