Anti-aging treatments go beyond addressing wrinkles. They can also improve concerns like stretch marks and large pores. Popular anti-wrinkle procedures not only make skin look younger and more radiant, but they can also offer additional benefits such as improved sun protection or reduced appearance of future wrinkles by boosting cell regeneration and increasing collagen production.
Let’s explore some of the top anti-aging procedures recommended by dermatologists at AAYNA to help you maintain a youthful appearance.
Botulinum Toxin, or Botox
Botox is a common cosmetic procedure that involves injecting botulinum toxin under the skin. This toxin blocks nerve signals to muscles, reducing their activity and smoothing the overlying skin. The FDA first approved it to treat medical conditions like migraines, excessive sweating, spasms, and lazy eyes. Today,it’s also allowed for usage in cosmetic procedures like:
- Smooth frown lines between the brows
- Reducing crow’s feet around the eyes
- Reduce forehead wrinkles
- Minimising rabbit lines on the nasal bridge
- Smooth Chin Dimples
- Lift the eyebrows
- Improve gummy smiles
- Reduce neck bands and excessive sweating
The effects of Botox take a few days to become apparent and persist for around six months. This is an outpatient operation that takes around 45 minutes to complete.
Dermal Fillers
Gel-like compounds called dermal fillers are administered into the skin to even out fine lines and wrinkles. They can be used on the mouth, hands, cheeks, nose, eyes, jawline, and mouth as anti-aging therapies. If necessary, fillers can be reversed by injecting a solution that dissolves. Among the advantages of dermal fillers are:
- Voluminous lips
- Lifting and smoothing sagging skin
- Stimulating collagen production
- Improving the look of stretch marks
- Treating nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Non-surgical rhinoplasty
- Adding volume to cheekbones and smoothing forehead lines
- Jawline and chin contouring
- Treating under-eye circles
The results of dermal filler treatments can be immediate and last anywhere from a few months to two years, depending on the type of filler used. There is no downtime associated with this outpatient procedure.
Microdermabrasion
A common exfoliating method called microdermabrasion uses a tool that sprays small particles to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin. This procedure improves skin tone and texture by encouraging the production of collagen and revealing smoother, younger-looking skin. Microdermabrasion is suitable for a variety of skin types and concerns.
It can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including:
- General skin rejuvenation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne breakouts
- Age spots and stretch marks
- Melasma
- Large pores and oily skin
You’ll notice a reduction in sebum production, enhanced skin radiance, and softness after only one session. Frequent treatments can greatly increase skin elasticity, thickness, and softness while lowering skin stiffness, giving the illusion of more youthful skin. The treatment schedule for specific concerns varies. Typically, treatments are spaced 15 days apart and require a series of 6-10 sessions.
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Fractional laser skin resurfacing is a safe and effective option for Asian and Indian skin types. This non-invasive outpatient procedure uses a fractional CO2 laser, which delivers targeted laser energy to minimize damage and maximize results. The laser reaches deep skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, younger-looking skin. Fractional laser treatments can address a variety of concerns, including:
- Surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Raised scars (keloids)
- Injury scars
- Wrinkles and deep creases
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
- Loose skin
Chemical Peels
Like microdermabrasion, chemical peels exfoliate the skin. They use a chemical solution, rather than physical abrasion, to remove the outer layer of skin. The type of acid used in the peel depends on your specific skin concern.
Chemical peels come in varying depths to target specific concerns. Deeper peels, reaching the lower dermis, are used for melasma. Medium peels target the upper dermis and are suitable for uneven skin tone, wrinkles, and acne scars. Superficial peels address dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles by exfoliating the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer.
Chemical peels are used in the treatment of:
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and lips
Sun damage
Acne scars and hyperpigmentation scars
Melasma and uneven skin tone
Age and pregnancy-related dark spots
