Non-surgical Procedures that can Make You Look Younger

No matter how much we want to deny that we are getting older, signs of aging can be seen in our faces. It may include wrinkles around our eyes and lips, sagging skin on our cheeks, age spots, and other lines that we can see when we look in the mirror. In recent years, it is hard to take away these signs of aging without the need to undergo surgery. But with different modern advances in skin science, these signs can now be reduced or completely fade away with the use of non-surgical procedures like skin tightening Thermage and using dermal fillers.

Wrinkle remedies

The most common sign of aging that can occur to any gender is the wrinkle. It is not only produced when you become old, because there is still a chance that you can have wrinkles. There are different reasons behind the production of wrinkles such as stress, sun exposure, poor lifestyle, and pollution. The good thing now is that wrinkles can now be reduced or completely removed with different procedures.

One of the common procedures is the dermal filler treatment. It is a non-surgical procedure that can reduce wrinkles and other fine lines. The main purpose of dermal fillers is to add volume to our skin and bring back the collagen, which we need to support and shape our body. Losing collagen is the main cause of visible natural lines and wrinkles. It fills the hollow areas in out face and can plump and define our lips. Younger looking skin will be the result of this type of treatment.

Another common treatment is the injecting of botulinum toxin or commonly known as Botox. It is usually compared to derma filler but Botox can only provide temporary fix. The use of Botox can paralyze the muscles of the target area such as forehead and around the eyes. It relaxes the muscles, which can cause frown lines and crow’s feet. Smoother skin will be the result several days after the procedure.

Skin tightening Thermage

Another common skin aging problems is saggy skin, which can be solved by skin tightening Thermage procedure. It can lift and tighten skin that works best in different areas like face, neck, chest, back of hands, and eyelids. After undergoing this procedure, the fold between mouth and nose will be reduced and eyes will look bigger after applying the skin tightening Thermage will be applied on forehead.

The skin tightening Thermage procedure uses captive radio frequency energy that will heat the inner layers of skin. It can fix skin that are not in shape and wear out its elasticity. The treatment will heat the subcutaneous layer, which is made up of collagen and fat, and the thin outer layer of skin called epidermis. This will result to immediate rejuvenation and tightening of skin’s collagen structure.

However, the non-surgical procedures listed above do not mean there are no risks. There are still possible side effects that can be experienced by patients depending on what procedure they undergo, the condition of skin, and the application process. The bottom line is, non-surgical procedures are still less risky compared to surgical ones. Just be sure to communicate with your dermatologist to know more about the procedures and what you should do after.
