Types of Anti Wrinkle Treatments

There is no one size fits all anti wrinkle treatment out there. What works best for one person may not be the best choice for another. For this reason, having a professional recommend the right treatment for you and your skin is important. The most commonly used and highly effective anti wrinkle treatment options include:

• Anti wrinkle creams. There are many anti wrinkle options that come in the form of a cream (or serum, oil, and other formats). Some of these creams and other formulations are available only in a clinician's office, while others may be available over the counter. The active ingredient in the anti wrinkle cream will vary, but the most common are retinol (an antioxidant that breaks down the skin cells that cause wrinkles), hydroxyl acids (acids that exfoliate the dead, tired skin and stimulate the growth of fresh skin), COQ10 (an enzyme that regulates the production of energy in skin cells), copper peptides (an element that stimulates the production of collagen), or kinetin (a plant byproduct that stimulates collagen production and helps skin retain moisture). There are other anti wrinkle creams that may contain various other ingredients, like tea extracts and so on.
• Laser resurfacing. Ablative wounding or skin resurfacing works as an anti wrinkle treatment option by removing aged and sun damaged skin, allowing new, younger skin to grow back in its place. Laser resurfacing can help to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, cheeks, and eyes. It can also improve the skin tone.
• Botox. Botox is one of the most popular anti wrinkle treatments that is in use on today's market, mainly because it provides nearly instantaneous results. Botox is administered in injection form and works by relaxing the muscles at the injection site. The effects of Botox can last for several months. By temporarily relaxing the muscles in the face that cause wrinkling, Botox injections can make wrinkles much less noticeable. The Food and Drug Administration has approved Botox as a treatment (temporary) for frown lines that develop between the eyebrows, but it is also used for treating forehead wrinkles and crow's feet at the corners of the eyes.
