Loading ...One of the more obvious effects of aging is that our cells do not get replaced as rapidly as before. Accordingly, skin cells also succumb to such state. At a younger state, the skin can replace old cells in matter of thirty days; however, as we get older, the skin would now need twice the amount of time to replace cells. This causes the skin to lose it vibrancy and healthy glow as we age. With old skin cells, blemishes will become more apparent. And facial wrinkles will start to show in areas where skin is constantly being folded and tugged because of changing facial expressions. However, science has made it possible to reverse the hands of time through anti wrinkle treatments that can alleviate or if not remove the effects of aging on skin for at least a certain period of time.
Treatment Secrets
One of the newer treatments around is the laser wrinkle treatment where laser are used to eliminate certain blemishes. The procedure uses different types of lasers for specific types of skin aberrations. For example, Carbon Dioxide and Erbium lasers are used to remove damaged skin cells so that the newer skin cells are exposed, thus the skin becomes vibrant, healthy, and fresh. The mentioned laser treatments vaporize the old skin, which helps in making the skin tighter and smoother. Another benefit of the treatment is it evens out skin tone on the face. Another laser wrinkle treatment utilizes an N-lite laser which, unlike the first two, does not vaporize skin but rather stimulates collagen production.
Collagen is naturally occurring substance in our body which makes the skin taught and smooth.
With laser procedures, patients would sometimes need multiple treatments in order to achieve the desired results. Dynamic wrinkles which are a result of the skin being tugged and folded due to different facial expressions and scarring from acne would need multiple treatments. It can used as an eye wrinkle treatment as well. Finally the lines at the sides of your eyes can be eliminated. Laser treatments may not be as risky as going under the knife but unfortunately, it is not also painless. Prior to any laser treatment, topical anesthesia is needed to be applied on the area being treated.
Even after treatment, your doctor may have to recommend some pain medication for up to several days. The worst scenario is that treated area would swell and seemed burnt; medications would be needed up to two weeks.
