Accessing the fountain of youth: the power of anti-wrinkle treatmentsAccessing the fountain of youth: the power of anti-wrinkle treatments
Unlock your true potential with completely non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments, available at all good local Glasgow aesthetic clinics and offering all the benefits of surgical cosmetics at a reduced cost, risk, and downtime.
Aging is natural, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen on your terms, and there are many different ways that the tell-tale fine lines and wrinkles that appear over the years can be delayed, minimised, and even removed.
Anti-wrinkle cosmetics are not a new phenomenon, but non-surgical treatments have made it easier than ever before to achieve a vibrant and wrinkle free appearance.
In this article we will look at the truth behind some of these revolutionary treatments and why their rise has been so astronomical over the past couple of decades.
Benefits of non-surgical treatments
Anti-wrinkle treatments that do not involved going under the knife for full-on surgery have experienced a tremendous rise in popularity since the turn of the century and especially over the past 5-10 years.
Some of the biggest reasons for this include:
- Much lower cost than surgical treatments.
- Little to no downtime following treatment.
- Vastly improved effectiveness and customisability than non-surgical cosmetic treatments of the past.
- Can be performed in a very short time with most treatments taking under an hour.
Botox: the founding father of non-surgical cosmetics
Botox is perhaps the most well-known of all cosmetic treatments, and certainly of the non-surgical variety.
Botox has been full FDA approved for decades now and works by immobilising the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By freezing these muscles, the fine lines that appear when you smile or frown will be eliminated, or at least massively reduced, leaving you with a much smoother and younger looking appearance. Botox is one of the most customisable and diverse cosmetic treatments on the market and can be used to tackle issues such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and more.
The injection process itself is remarkably simple, almost completely painless and requires no downtime. This makes it absolutely perfect for busy professionals who want to maintain their busy lifestyles without missing out on the joys of aesthetic enhancements. Botox results also last a pretty impressive amount of time for an injectable with visible benefits enjoyed for several months before a return visit to the cosmetic clinic will be required to maintain the effects.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are another injectable treatment that is used to achieve a more youthful appearance, usually around the face area. Rather than freezing the muscles as Botox does, dermal fillers add volume to the skin, meaning that they can be used to tackle static wrinkles as well as dynamic ones.
Dermal fillers can be used in the lips, cheeks, and a variety of other parts of both the face and body that have lost some of the natural skin elasticity and volume that we enjoy during our younger.
One of the many fantastic things about dermal fillers is that they not only add volume, resulting in an immediate and noticeable improvement in your appearance, but they also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, rejuvenating your skin and producing ever-improving results for months to come.
The filler itself is comprised of a substance that is known as hyaluronic acid which happens to be naturally occurring in the human body already. This provides a lot of peace of mind to first time users as it means that the risk of your body rejecting the treatment is incredibly low and side effects are very rare.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency based procedures can be used to melt fat, tighten skin, and trigger the body’s natural collagen production.
Radiofrequency skin treatments are often used to create a more even skin tone and texture giving you a more youthful appearance and results that gradually get better and better over time. Procedures that are based on stimulating collagen production are fantastic for individuals who are looking to achieve more immediate and gradual improvements that don’t require a return visit to the cosmetic clinic every couple of weeks. They can be used to both tackle existing visible wrinkles and to prevent them from forming in the first place by preventing the movements that lead to dynamic wrinkle production.
Combination approaches
Many non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments can be combined together to target several issues at once or to produce even more impressive results that would be possible from one treatment alone.
This is one of the reasons that it is so important that you find and use a highly skilled cosmetic doctor when getting your anti-wrinkle treatments. They will be able to build and carry out a tailored treatment plans to address certain concerns whilst taking into account your skin type, quality, desires, and a number of other important factors.
The anti-wrinkle effects that can be achieved by a expert non-surgical cosmetic practitioner really are extraordinary.
