7 Anti-Aging Treatments to Retain Your Youthful Glow
You’ve more than half a dozen anti-aging treatments to help you keep young like chemical peels, skin tightening, to dermal fillers and botox, and much more.
Botulinum Toxin Therapy
One of the most common anti-aging treatments that have been popular for several decades already is botulinum toxin injections. This is more popularly known as Botox injections that help reduce the fine lines or wrinkles in your frown lines, particularly in between your eyebrows.
In this treatment, a medical professional will inject the prescribed medicine into your facial muscles, which keeps these areas from tightening. You may notice the effect of the injections within a week after the treatment.
Dermal Fillers
Aside from Botox, cosmetic surgeons can also inject dermal fillers into your skin to fill out wrinkles in your face. These substances are often composed of collagen, hyaluronic acid gel, and fat. Aside from your face, you can also have fillers injected on your lips or your hands.
Perhaps the main advantage of this treatment over the botulinum toxin therapy is that you will be able to see the results of dermal filler injections right away. The fillers that are injected into your body can last anywhere from a couple of months to three years, depending on the type of compound that has been injected into your system.

Dermabrasion
In dermabrasion, a special rotating brush is used to remove the outer layer of your facial skin. Your face will naturally grow new and smoother skin to replace what was removed during this treatment.
This new skin may look red for a few weeks and you may even experience some scabbing or swelling after the treatment. Nevertheless, you will be amazed that this can effectively treat your wrinkles, age spots, as well as your skin surface that is damaged by excessive sun exposure.
Another similar treatment that removes the top-most layer of the skin to pave the way for new skin is microdermabrasion. Working in a similar principle, this procedure aims to renew your skin. But, instead of using a special rotating brush, this treatment leverages a special machine that sprays tiny particles on your skin.
Because it is less abrasive, it is most likely that you will be able to heal faster with this treatment. However, the drawback of this procedure is that you may need to undergo a couple of sessions for you to be able to fully appreciate the effects of this treatment.
Chemical Peels
Like with dermabrasion, the objective of using chemical peels is to remove the top-most layer of your skin to allow new skin cells to flourish. However, instead of a brush or a special machine, a medical professional will use acid instead.
This entails the need for your skin to heal after the process which can take a couple of weeks and during this time, your skin may appear red. For some, this treatment is effective in removing age spots and wrinkles, but you need to keep in mind that the number of sessions that you need greatly depends on the effect that you want to achieve.
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing
In this modern-day and age, laser treatment can already be used to reverse the effects of aging. In fractional laser skin resurfacing, a cosmetic professional will use a special laser that will treat the narrow columns of your skin by damaging its deep layers. This stimulates your body to generate new skin cell growth that brings forth a smoother and younger-looking skin.
Unlike dermabrasion and chemical peels, you don’t need to wait for a couple of weeks or even months to recover and heal. However, you may still feel a bit of pain and redness right after the procedure which tends to go away immediately.
There is also the non-ablative skin rejuvenation treatment which also uses lasers, as well as other types of energy to treat your wrinkles and fine lines. However, this process doesn’t remove the outer layer of the skin, which means that you will not need to undergo a recovery time. With this treatment though, you may need a couple of sessions before you recognize the full effect.
Stem Cell Facelift
Stem cell treatment has been used for a variety of medical purposes, including anti-aging procedures. More and more people opt for this treatment because it requires no surgery, but it results in a rejuvenated skin and a natural lift that lasts for three years or even more.
In this process, umbilical cord stem cells derived from a cord bank are used to counter any effects of inflammation.
Skin Tightening
For those who are worried about their skin sagging on their lower face and neck, skin tightening using ultrasound may prove to be the best treatment. In this case, ultrasound technology will target the musculoaponeurotic system by delivering heat to the skin to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.

You may begin to see the results anywhere from three to six months and it will usually last for a year. The best part is that with this non-invasive treatment, you can go on with your usual tasks right after the procedure.
Wrapping Up
To wrap things up, the advancements in modern technology paved the way for contemporary anti-aging treatments that no longer need to be invasive.
The processes involved in these treatments often pose no downtime, such that you can be walking out of the clinic where you had it done within a couple of hours, or sometimes in even less than an hour, and go about your usual business.
While you may feel a bit of pain while undergoing some treatments, this usually doesn’t last long and you are bound to recover in no time. Perhaps now is the perfect time for you to go ahead and rely on science to retain your youthful glow.
