5 treatments to reduce wrinkles

As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and we get wrinkles. Exposure to toxins, stress, general aging, illness, and repeated muscle contractions greatly enhance that process. Fortunately, we have good treatments to reduce wrinkles.

Liquid facelift

One of the most requested treatments to to reduce wrinkles is a liquid facelift. A surgical facelift is often not necessary. We can also get the desired results with less intensive treatments, such as the whole face treatment or the liquid facelift, without surgery! A face lift is about restoring volume where subcutaneous volume has been lost. This can be done with Juvederm or Restylane. As a result, fresh facial proportions remain. The face is' lifted ', as it were, reducing wrinkles and facial lines. Here, the volume is replenished at the temples, cheekbones and cheeks.

Chemical peeling

The most popular treatment to reduce wrinkles is chemical peeling. This treatment involves a mild chemical solution over the entire surface of the face. When exfoliating the face, the outer layers of the skin are, as it were, peeled off. Once this older skin is removed, new younger layers appear. This treatment is very safe and effective for fine lines, however deeper wrinkles need a different treatment.

Fillers

Deeper wrinkles and loss of volume can only be treated with a filler. The most popular fillers are Juvederm and Restylane. Restylane and Juvederm Care Hyaluronic acids. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and provides the skin with suppleness and resilience. As people age, the production of Hyaluronic Acid decreases. As a result, the skin becomes weaker and wrinkles can occur. Restylane/Juvederm replaces natural Hyaluronic Acid. It is a gel that forms small cushions in the skin to fill imperfections.

Botox

Botox relaxes the muscles that develop wrinkles. Botox is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin. This is a protein that is injected into muscle fibers that are responsible for, among other things, mimicry (frown lines and crow's feet). Botox blocks the transmission of stimuli from nerve to muscle, so that it temporarily becomes less powerful. After a few months, muscle activity fully recovers. Immediately after treatment, the skin looks normal. The effect slowly becomes visible after 2 to 7 days and is optimal after 2 weeks. The skin then looks relaxed and the wrinkle is less deep. The result remains visible for about 4 months. This means that the injections must be repeated for long-term results. But it also means that if a patient does not like the appearance caused by the Botox, it's not permanent.

Eyebrow lift with botox and fillers

The eyebrow can be lifted in various ways. Often people complain about a tired look. An eyebrow lift restores the tired look by getting the eyebrow higher above the eye again. Nowadays, people no longer have to live with an old reflection. There are plenty of treatments that can help them look younger, healthier and have fewer wrinkles while maintaining their own facial expression.
