How to fight signs of aging
When you look in the mirror and don’t like signs of aging or dark areas, you don’t have to settle for it – and you don’t have to go under the knife either.
The skincare industry is full of great ways to fight back against skin issues, especially wrinkles or sagging skin. One of the most obvious solutions is to have facelift surgery to smooth out your skin. However, not every sag or wrinkle needs to be treated that way. There are plenty of non-surgical, non-invasive ways to treat those issues too.
Here are your options:
Using Makeup as a Preventative Measure
Obviously most makeup can’t actually medically treat your skin. The exception is that some forms of cosmetics contain moisturizers, vitamins, minerals, or sunscreen, which can be helpful for some skin conditions. But they are actually more helpful as preventative measures. Of course, you can also use makeup to cover up small blemishes on the surface of your skin.
Lotions and Creams Can Also Treat Some Skin Issues
Most lotions and creams, especially those that contain retinoids, are capable of treating minor wrinkles or fine lines. Many of them are better suited for preventing issues like that in the first place. But once you have major skin sags or wrinkles they aren’t likely to do much good. At that point you may need to go to a clinic and be treated by a cosmetic laser instead.
Lasers Treatments for Tightening Your Skin
Lasers are great at treating skin wrinkles and sags, both from the surface and from within. Some lasers target deep tissues, while others focus on just the top layer of skin. The type of treatment you should have will depend on how soon you want to see results, how severe your skin problems are, and
If you do decide to have laser treatment, you should know that it will be your first treatment of many. Generally clinics recommend four to six treatments at first. They are often spread over the course of one to two months. You may also decided to have one or more additional treatment series later on. So, you will need to expect some ongoing expenses, if you choose to have that type of treatment process.
Improving Your Skin Quality in Other Ways
There are also other clinical ways to improve the quality of your skin. One of the easiest ways to fight wrinkles in a clinical setting is by using filler treatments like Botox injections. The idea is to fill in the sunken areas of your skin. Botox also has some paralyzing effects that can cause the skin in the treated area to tighten up a bit.
Other popular treatments that can make sagging skin look better include microdermabrasion, sound wave treatments like ultrasound, and chemical peels. Not all of them actually tighten the skin, but they can often get rid of dead skin cells and make your skin look healthier over all.
As you can see, you have a lot of options for sagging, wrinkled, or otherwise damaged skin. You just have to choose one based on your situation. Professional advice can help you to do exactly that. So, be sure to ask your local skincare clinic or your dermatologist for advice. Then you can start to pinpoint the options that are most likely to correct your skin concerns quickly.
No matter what you decide to do, consult your doctor!
