As we get older, collagen and elastin levels in the skin begin to deplete. Collagen and elastin are naturally occurring proteins found within the skin’s connective tissues. Together they are responsible for maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
As we age, and the levels of both of these proteins deplete, you may begin to notice some of the first signs of ageing, including sagging, a loss in volume, lines, and wrinkles.
When looking for the best anti-wrinkle treatment, luckily there are plenty of options you can choose from.
Best Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
Chemical peels
The outermost layer of skin is dead and often contains damaged and dead skin cells. This causes the skin to appear dull and unfortunately paves way for fine lines and wrinkles.
Chemical peels use a combination of exfoliating ingredients that help to remove dead skin cells, reduce wrinkles and discoloration, and stimulate collagen production within the skin for a tighter, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
Collagen Induction
If you are looking for natural rejuvenation and hydration of the skin, this is the treatment for you. The treatment involves a specially designed micro-needling device that creates tiny puncture wounds on the skin. This triggers your body’s natural wound healing process and encourages the production of collagen and elastin.
This allows for customised active skincare ingredients to penetrate the skin and treat it from the inside out.
Botox Treatment
Over time, fine lines and wrinkles can come about because of overactive muscles. To treat overactive muscles, Botox is one of the best anti-wrinkle treatments available.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a neurotoxic protein that controls the activation of muscles and relaxes it. This procedure should always be carried out by a medical practitioner as it is a medical treatment.
The results of Botox take 7-10 days to show and can last between 3-6 months.
This treatment is highly effective in treating mild-moderate signs of ageing and helps minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are one of the most popular anti-aging skin treatments on the market today.
Made from Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance within the skin responsible for retaining moisture, dermal fillers can gently lift, plump, add volume and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Administration of Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers should always be carried out by a trained Aesthetic Doctor. Following treatment, you may experience slight swelling and bruise near the injection site, these should heal within a few days and results can last for up to one year.
Profhilo
Profhilo is a series of injections that contain a high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid.
When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid spreads out and absorbs water to intensely hydrate the skin.
This effectively rehydrates, plumps, and lifts the skin for a more radiant and youthful appearance. Overall, the effects of Profhilo last for around one month, and during this time, collagen synthesis will continue to improve your results for up to 6 months. For best results, it is recommended you have two treatments, four weeks apart.
