Anti-Aging
Anti-aging treatments are a common treatment that has been available since the time people began to notice they were getting older. Since then, many treatments have been attempted to slow down the aging process, including injectables, fillers, and surgery. However, what most people do not know is that there are other ways to slowdown the process without having to go through all of these procedures.
Most common anti-aging treatments
Injectables
One of the oldest and most well known methods for slowing down the aging process is through botox injections. Botox injections are a chemical that is injected into areas or muscles that are believed to be causing age-related problems. Botox injections can have serious side effects, including headaches, dizziness and nausea. So if you are considering this procedure, make sure to take all of the risks into consideration first.
Fillers
Another form of anti-aging treatment includes dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. These small, synthetic substances are injected into the body. These synthetic materials mimic the natural production of collagen and elastin in your skin. Botox injections can cause serious side effects such as excessive redness, swelling and bruising.
Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are another method to slow down the aging process. Chemical peels are a procedure that removes the outer layers of the skin. In doing so, your skin will then appear brighter because the outer layers of the skin will be exposed to the sunlight. To reveal younger-looking skin, the dead skin cells are removed. This type of treatment has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and can be performed in a number of different locations.
FDA approved collagen treatments. They are used to treat signs such as frown lines and crow's feet. Injecting collagen into problem areas can temporarily reduce the appearance of these areas. This is not the most effective method of treating wrinkles. Also, there is always the risk of getting an allergic reaction from the collagen.
