Ways to Reduce the Signs of Aging Skin

As we age, our skin ages, too. You can not stop time-- but there are steps you can take to minimize its effects on your skin. Here are a few of the most common anti-aging procedures available. Keep in mind: Most of these anti-aging procedures are considered cosmetic, so they are not covered by insurance.

Botulinum Toxin Treatment

More commonly known as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, botulinum toxin injections help reduce frown lines (glabellar lines) in between the eyebrows and crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. This treatment works by keeping the muscles in these areas from tightening. There is usually no recovery time for this cosmetic treatment, but it can take up to a week to see the effects. The results normally last about 3 to 4 months.

Dermabrasion

Used to treat wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage, dermabrasion uses a special rotating brush to remove the outer layer of the skin from small areas of the face. New, smoother skin grows in to replace it. The new skin will look red or pink for a few weeks, and you might have some scabbing or swelling for a few weeks after the treatment. It can take weeks or months to see the complete results. You might need to take time off from work or other commitments. You may need just one treatment, but people with deep scars or significant signs of aging skin might need more than one dermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion

Like dermabrasion, this treatment removes the top-most layer of skin. But instead of a rotating brush, microdermabrasion uses a special machine to spray tiny particles on the skin. It is less abrasive than dermabrasion and takes less time to heal. It can be used on all skin types, but you may need several sessions to achieve the desired results. Many people include microdermabrasion as part of their anti-aging skin care routine.

Chemical Peels

During a chemical peel, your specialist uses an acid to peel away the outermost layer of skin. It eliminates age spots and wrinkles, and gives you a brighter complexion. Your skin will need time to recover after the peel and will appear red for a week or more. Depending on the kind of peel you get, you may require to have more than one treatment to achieve the results you desire.

Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing

For this treatment, your doctor uses a special laser to treat narrow columns of skin. The laser damages deep layers of skin, which triggers new skin cell development. The damaged areas peel away and reveal smoother, younger-looking skin. Fractional laser skin resurfacing can help treat wrinkles and fine lines. Although your skin will not likely need time to heal after fractional laser skin resurfacing, you might have some redness, pain, peeling or scabbing. You may need multiple treatments over a few weeks to achieve the results you desire.

Dermal Fillers

Fillers are substances that a specialist injects into your skin to fill in wrinkles and lines. Some popular fillers include collagen, hyaluronic acid gel, and fat. You can use fillers on your lips, face and hands. In most cases, you do not need any downtime after getting a filler, and you will see the results immediately. Fillers last from 2 months to 3 years, depending on what kind you get. Collagen is one of the shortest lasting fillers, while injections of your own fat last 1 to 3 years.

Nonablative Skin Rejuvenation

Nonablative skin rejuvenation uses lasers and other types of energy to treat wrinkles, age spots, and loss of skin tone. This kind of treatment does not remove the outer layer of skin, and you do not normally need any recovery time. You might need several treatments to get the best results, and it can take up to a few months to see the total effects.
