There are some people who would want to have their wrinkles removed but they are too scared to go under the knife.
We can't blame them though because there have been hundreds of reported cases of failed cosmetic procedures which had cause patients more harm than good.
If you are one of those people, you have the option to have your wrinkles removed or reduced through one of these non-surgical procedures.
#1 Muscle Relaxant This procedure makes the wrinkles look smoother by injecting a muscle relaxant that is specially formulated for wrinkles.
This is a quick procedure that's usually done within 15 minutes and visible results can be observed right after the procedure.
Final results are usually seen on the 10th day and could last for four months or more.
A follow up treatment is usually advised every four to six months to keep your skin look smoother and young looking.
#2 Dermal Fillers Dermal filler like Juvederm® is being injected on the affected area using fine needles to fill and plump up the wrinkled skin causing it to stretch and smooth out.
Visible results like the reduction of frown lines, crow's feet, and lip lines are usually observed immediately after the procedure.
Since the procedure would only take 30 minutes, some patients have it done during office breaks.
However, oil based makeup should be avoided within the first two days since injection sites are still open during these times.
The effects of dermal fillers lasts around six months, so patients are often advised to have another treatment after six or twelve months to maintain a young looking skin.
#3 Chemical Peels In deep chemical face peel, a chemical called TCA (Trichloroaceic acid 35%) is applied to the skin for it to peel off, revealing a younger, less wrinkled, and smoother skin.
The procedure should be done by a highly trained doctor because TCA could excessively burn the skin when improperly applied.
The procedure lasts for approximately 40 minutes and followed by a five to seven days of blanching.
Before the procedure, your doctor will fully assess the condition of your skin and tells you about its risks and benefits as well as its possible complications like excessive redness and peeling, infection, change in skin pigmentation, and scarring.
Because of these complications, your doctor might provide you with other options like anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, or laser treatments.
#4 Laser treatments Laser treatments like the the Cutera® XEO® system is a non-surgical procedure that helps tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
Furthermore, this system helps clear the skin from previous sun damage or the IPL therapy.
It also simulates collage causing tightening of the pores and minimizing of fine lines, and removes spider veins.
Moreover, this is an out patient procedure that usually lasts for 30 minutes depending on the area's condition.
Furthermore, it is generally considered as the safest among all the non-surgical procedures in wrinkle reduction.
In fact, there is no anesthesia or any creams needed for this procedure.
If you wish to have your wrinkles removed non-surgically, it is very important that you seek the services of a licensed and well experienced doctor.
This is to ensure the safety as well as the success of the procedure.
