A Woman’s Guide to Non-Surgical Wrinkle Treatments

New wrinkle treatments on offer from leading cosmetic clinics smooth out wrinkles and sagging with little to no downtime and they are also affordable.

A trip to the cosmetic surgeon’s can now be put off almost indefinitely thanks to new technologies such as light therapy, peels, cosmetic wrinkle injections and ultrasonic.

Wrinkle fillers, when used with other new wrinkle treatments, are amazingly effective at keeping facial wrinkles permanently at bay.

Traditionally, the only affordable way to remove wrinkles was with off-the shelf topical treatments, such as wrinkle creams, but these creams are unable to deliver the transforming results that many of us are looking for! Further, many of the claims made by wrinkle treatments can be misleading.

In order for anti wrinkle treatments to be effective, they must stimulate collagen right down in the skin’s dermis, where connective tissue is formed. Most anti wrinkle creams do not actually reach the dermis.

Now for the good news! New wrinkle treatments can stimulate collagen with minimal downtime, while still being affordable. These, as well as wrinkle injections, are very effective. However, they are not ‘off the shelf’ products so you do need to locate a skin specialist or skin treatment clinic in your local area.

So how will you find these new, non-invasive wrinkle treatments? Here is a list of the best new wrinkle treatments.

Medi Light Therapy

Medi light therapy uses wavelengths of light to increase circulation and the supply of oxygen and nutrients in the skin, therefore speeding up regeneration and the growth of connective tissue. This pleasant, painless treatment increases collagen synthesis, lymphatic drainage and cellular growth in the dermis.

Ultrasonic

Ultrasonic treatment utilises sonic vibrations, which oscillate thousands of times per second, to lift dead skin cells and improve circulation. Ultrasonic deep cleans without abrasives, while the sonic vibrations increase the permeability of skin cell membranes so additional nutrients can be infused into the dermis.

Peels

A ‘chemical peel’ can now be achieved without any chemicals whatsoever. Clinics are now using natural peels containing lactic acid, salicylic acid or fruit acid to rejuvenate the skin. These treatments contain no irritating chemicals but still stimulate the skin to produce collagen and elastin, for firming and plumping.

Anti wrinkle injections

Wrinkle fillers and botulinum are now so common they are practically an anti aging staple. Anti wrinkle injections, such as botulinum, soften the appearance of dynamic face wrinkles, such as eye wrinkles (crows feet) and forehead wrinkles, as they temporarily relax the underlying muscles by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the area. A few days after these anti wrinkle injections the muscle cannot contract, so the wrinkle cannot form and will gradually diminish.

Wrinkle dermal fillers are injected via a very fine needle into the dermal layer of the skin to naturally ‘plump up’ static wrinkles, such as marionette lines or lip lines, leaving smooth skin without the need for surgical intervention.

Using anti wrinkle fillers in unison with these collagen-boosting treatments can literally take years off your appearance without pain or surgery. So if you are seeking an anti-aging treatment that will deliver noticeable results then it is time to talk to your local skin care specialist or clinic. Take a note of these different treatment types so you can find out whether these new skin treatments are offered by your skin care clinic.
