Popular Anti-Aging Treatments

Even though aging is a natural process that can't be stopped, it can be slowed down by healthy lifestyle choices and some technological help, helping you to look younger. If you are trying to reverse the aging process without invasive surgery, an anti-aging treatments can provide a safer alternative.

Popular anti-aging treatments to help you combat the aging process

Microdermabrasion

This anti-aging treatment helps to combat aging by refining your skin texture. Microdermabrasion physically removes dry flaky skin, sun-damaged spots and oil bumps from your skin, leaving you with uniformly smooth skin.

Microdermabrasion is a popular option at medical spas because it is a non-invasive treatment that involves the use of a textured metal wand to exfoliate and scrape up skin cells while vacuuming them at the same time. You can also think of it as a professional facial scrub.

Laser treatments

This process improves the overall wellness of your skin by using a fractionated laser or laser peel to make your skin smoother, tighter and more even-toned. The lasers use light energy to penetrate your skin’s collagen layer, removing broken blood vessels and hyper-pigmentation while restoring collagen and elastin.

You will begin to see results within a week after treatment, and the skin improvements may continue for a couple of months.

Chemical peels

This is an exfoliating process involving the use of chemicals like glycolic acid, lactic acid, trichloracetic acid and salicylic acid, which can be purchased online or in beauty stores. The top layer of skin is destroyed with the chemicals, revealing a new layer. The peels help to remove brown spots and hyperpigmentation and minimize damage to the outer layer of the skin.

Depending on the strength of the acid, it can be applied and left on the face for a few minutes or overnight. Expect the peel to sting for a few minutes but the pain should subside after about 15 minutes.

After removing the peels, your skin may feel sensitive or irritated temporarily, but you should see results after about a week.

Botox®

More people are getting rid of wrinkles around their foreheads and eyes with the use of Botox® injections. Since it doesn’t require going under the knife, Botox has become very popular in the United States and other parts of the world. The injections contain purified toxins that block muscle contractions under the skin, temporarily removing wrinkles for months.

Fillers

As you age, your body doesn’t naturally produce collagen the way it did when you were younger, which results in a loss of volume in the face. Fillers help to restore the volume lost due to the lack of collagen. Like Botox, dermal fillers are injected into the parts of the body where needed, filling in lines and lifting other areas.

Bottom line

These are just a few anti-aging treatments to help you look and younger — there are other non-invasive treatments available, including anti-aging creams and other natural skin treatments. Improving your diet and exercising regularly also help reverse the effects of aging, so make sure you implement them into your anti-aging routine.
