Wrinkle-removing treatments that are here to stay
Treatments may come and go, but so far these five treatments have gone this distance and are therefore here to stay.
External wrinkle removing
- Sunscreen, no, this is not an old wives’ tale. Sunscreen is still your number one defence against ageing. Wearing sunscreen year-round will help prevent wrinkles and sun damage, such as pigmentation. However, your results will only be as good as the product you choose: Make sure it’s an SPF of 30 or more for adequate protection, and apply it every morning, rain or shine. Otherwise, it doesn’t count! Apply it to both your face and neck. – Retinol & antioxidants Of the many skin-care ingredients on the market, retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is the most rigorously studied and published for battling wrinkles. This ingredient is well-documented for skin rejuvenation and repair. Retinol works by increasing the collagen layer in the skin, making it look smoother and younger. Other well-known antioxidants include peptides, growth factors, and stabilised vitamin C.
Internal wrinkle removing
Lasers
Laser resurfacing, like Fraxel, Fraxel Dual, and Laser Genesis, are professional treatments which work below the skin’s surface to erase the sun damage that creates lines and wrinkles. Laser is highly effective at treating pigmentation, refining pores, and minimising scars. A series of a few sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be needed for optimal results. –
Injectables
Known as neuromodulators, neurotoxins or anti-wrinkle injections, these injectables help block muscular nerve signals. The lack of contractions weakens and prevents the muscle from contracting. The lack of movement results in the relaxation of wrinkles and smoother skin. Botulinum Toxin is still the leading minimally invasive procedure for wrinkles worldwide.
