Anti-aging Treatments




Anti-aging treatments are beneficial for reducing the telltale age spots, wrinkles and fine lines on your skin. There are various cosmetic surgical procedures available nowadays that minimize the signs of aging on your skin.

You can also reduce the anti aging signs by eating a well balanced diet and cutting down on sugary stuff and fast food.

Different Types of Anti-aging Treatments


Face lifts help to remove sagging skin and wrinkles permanently. There are different kinds of face lifts that are beneficial for different age groups. Some of the common face lifts are mid facelift, thread lift and deep plane lift.

If face lifts are done improperly, it can result in a distorted 'wind swept' appearance. Some of the other risks are skin infections and damage to the facial nerves.

Sculptra face rejuvenation or 'liquid face lift' is a popular method of removing wrinkles and sagging skin without invasive surgery. PLA particles are implanted into the skin which stimulates collagen formation and increases skin elasticity. Some of the temporary side effects are swelling, redness and bruising of the skin.

Laser skin resurfacing is another popular method of treating fine lines, wrinkles and hyper pigmentation. Laser beams are repeatedly moved over the area to be treated to correct the skin imperfections. Facial bandages are strapped on to minimize the effect of swelling. Skin infections might happen in rare cases.

Dermal filler treatments are cost effective cosmetic procedures that help you to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines. These treatments are effective in treating lipstick lines, forehead lines,‘crow’s feet’,and acne pits. Restylane, hyaluronic acid and collagen are used in the filler treatments to increase skin elasticity. These dermal fillers are injected into the skin to get rid of the fine lines , wrinkles and sunken facial features. The effect of dermal fillers gradually diminish with time. So, touch up treatments are required after a period of time.

Collagen replacement treatment is also beneficial in treating wrinkles and fine lines. Zyplast® and Zyderm® are used in the bovine collagen implants that are injected into the skin. Allergy tests are done prior to the collagen treatment.

Swelling of skin, redness and rosacea are some of the side effects of collagen replacement treatments. Chest pain, low blood pressure and shortness of breath can also occur in certain cases.

The above mentioned anti-aging treatments are effective in reducing the signs of age. Some of them work on a permanent basis, while some need periodic touch up treatments.
