What is the best wrinkle treatment?

By A Hannifudin

As human beings, aging is inevitable. All of us tend to grow old and age constantly as the years pass by. As the skin is exposed daily in the direct sunlight, pollutions, and chemicals, the wrinkles also become visible in our skin, especially on our face and neck.

If you want to have wrinkle treatment to get rid of those visible wrinkles showing on your face and neck, there are lots of treatments that you can choose from. Among the treatments available are surgical procedures like facelift, laser technology, and some are topical and natural like application of anti-wrinkle creams and natural creams with anti-aging effects. Just make sure that you will choose the best one for your type of skin.

The texture and the fineness of the skin change as it gets older. This is because the dead skin cells are not removed from the skin and may block the new skin from coming out. The longer the dead skin cells stay on the skin, the older the skin appears. Skin needs to be rejuvenated in order to make the skin looks improved and young again. Wrinkle treatments can do the work of eliminating the excess fats and sagging of the skin that makes your skin look older.

The kinds of wrinkle treatments:

1) Laser treatment or laser resurfacing is a kind of treatment for wrinkles caused by facial expressions and skin folds which are also called the dynamic wrinkles. It can also treat moderate wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tones, sun-damaged skin, and acne or chickenpox scars.

However, this treatment is not very successful for getting a permanent solution to the problem. By this treatment, the wrinkles will get removed for some time but as we use different facial expressions every day, the skin will again fold. New wrinkles will start appearing that will need to be treated again after some time.

Laser treatment eliminates dead skin cells in the skin surface resulting to a finer and tighter skin. The skin tone will also even out after the treatment leaving your skin with a fair complexion. Skin cells cannot automatically do the replacement on its own way. Another laser treatment is required after six months to fully remove the damage.

2) Another kind of wrinkle treatment is the facelift. This is a treatment through surgery of the excess fats. The skin has to be cut to be able to remove the tissue that causes sagging and loose skin. After the excess fats and tissue have been removed, the skin will be pulled back to its original place and make it tighter for a better result. After the surgery, the skin will appear smooth and tighter again but sagging and wrinkles will still come back, so it is recommended that the treatment is done again after some time.

3) Another form of wrinkle treatment is the use of creams and other products that are purposely formulated to remove wrinkles or to fight aging. Some are Botox, Collagen injection, anti-aging creams, anti-wrinkle creams, chemical peels, dermabrasion, and Thermage. These products require more than one treatment but it can help you a lot in your struggle of removing the wrinkles from your face.
