Anti-Aging Skin Treatments: What Really Works?
For decades, people have been seeking out the best and most effective anti-aging treatments to reduce wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, and age spots.
With so many options of anti-aging treatments out there you might be wondering, which anti-aging skin treatment really works? The right anti-aging treatment varies from person to person, and Dr. Michael J. Streitmann can help you find the most effective one for your needs.
Cosmetic treatments can range from a simple procedure to a more comprehensive method. Dr. Michael J. Streitmann can also recommend the best anti-aging products you can use at home on a regular basis to help promote supple and younger-looking skin.
The following are just some of the different treatments that can contribute to anti-aging for the best skincare possible.
Anti Aging Treatment Services for Rejuvenation
A number of factors, such as sun exposure, dry air, diet, and personal habits, contribute to the aging of the skin. Many treatments help rejuvenate the face by nourishing it and encouraging more blood circulation. Some of these include:
- Dermaplaning – gentle exfoliation to remove oil, skin cells, dirt and facial hair
- Microdermabrasion – exfoliation to minimize lines, refine pores and remove scars and spots
- Chemical peels – this aesthetic procedure removes damaged layers of skin on different areas of the body, and the results include hydrated skin, fewer fine lines, less discoloration, and fewer blotches
Wrinkle Treatment
Wrinkles are a common sign of aging, and there are many ways to decrease their appearance. Some are designed to fill in smaller lines while others can correct more severe folds. Many of the results last up to a year after treatment.
Dermal Fillers For Aging Skin
Certain fillers can be used to help smooth the skin and give it a younger appearance. Examples of filler treatments include RADIESSE®, Sculptra® Aesthetic and JUVÉDERM Voluma XC.
Laser Resurfacing Anti-aging Skin Treatments
Candela GentleLASE is a high-intensity laser beam that can fight fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike some of the other wrinkle-only treatments, this method also treats sun spots, excessive body hair, freckles, leg veins, hyperpigmentation, and hemangiomas.
Face Lift Injections and Botox Injections
Many women and men swear by muscle relaxers to decrease the look of wrinkles. By relaxing the muscles, facial lines and wrinkles are much harder to see. These types of non-surgical treatments are also known as “neurotoxins” which help with wrinkles specifically along the forehead, and between or beside the eyes. They can also help with raising the corners of the mouth and jawline definition. These facial lines are usually caused by excessive squinting, frowning, or concentrating. Some of the different methods include:
Depending on the type of non-surgical treatment, people who get any of these three treatments should see results between one to four days.
Best Anti-Aging Products
Take charge of your skin health by using some of the best products available. Dr. Streitmann may recommend effective products from companies such as Obagi, Young Pharmaceuticals, and SkinCeuticals.
Cosmetic Surgery and Procedures
While the previous treatments are non-invasive and have little to no downtime associated with them, your skin might need something stronger. In these cases, cosmetic surgery may be the right choice. There are many different types of cosmetic surgeries including those for the eyes, face, stomach, and breasts.
The smaller procedures can lead to significant results. A facelift tightens the skin of both the face and neck, resulting in a smooth surface and a rejuvenated appearance. Scars are kept to a minimum and out of sight.
Certain cosmetic procedures may not have a direct anti-aging effect, but they help improve individual confidence by improving these less desired aspects of aging. These include breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks, and upper arm lifts.
