Increasingly we are seeing people go to extreme measures to try to avoid the signs of ageing. Many are resorting to face lifts to try to counteract wrinkles but this is a procedure that can be very costly, time-consuming and intense. However, there are a number of much less invasive options to keep your skin looking fresh and young. Let’s have a look at the best options to see how you can enhance your skin without having to do anything drastic.
If you have skin that feels lax the best bet might be fillers. Fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, collagen and other similar materials. They can be used to fill furrows and gaps that can be found in between the brows and many other places. The problem is that they are not permanent. For a longer-lasting procedure a doctor can inject the patient’s natural tissues as a filler.
For wrinkles, botox is one of the most popular options. Injections can be administered to different places in the face to relax facial muscles. It is important not to overuse these, however, as they can leave the face looking quite plastic.
Another common problem comes from loss of skin texture and pigment changes due to the ageing process. There are a number of technologically advanced treatments that can be broadly broken down into ablative (destructive) or non-ablative technology. Ablative technology is useful for ridding your skin of blemishes such as moles. Non-ablative technology is generally more useful in darker skin types, as it is less likely to cause heat damage to the skin.
Overall it can be more sensible to use creams and gels at first rather than opting for harsh or invasive procedures. Treatments like face-lifts and botox injections should only be used as a last resort.
