Blast Your Wrinkles Away!

We are indeed in a losing battle with age. There is no stopping the process, and every year, our skin loses a little more elasticity, making room from wrinkles, fine lines, and unwanted sagging. While there is no way to stop this from happening, there are definite ways to restore younger looking skin, and eliminate wrinkles.

One treatment is called Fraxel. Fraxel treatments are usually administered using a laser that works to refine, restore, or repair skin by stimulating collagen production. These treatments get rid of age spots, uneven skin tone, fine lines around the eyes, and can also remove acne or surgical scars, dry or rough skin, and other dark patches. Fraxel treatments can even repair deeply set wrinkles, redness from the sun, and can tighten the skin.

Thermage laser treatment has also been a popular choice among patients. This treatment rids wrinkles, fine lines, and unevenly-textured skin, using collagen to help restore tighter skin. Thermage treatments use radiofrequency energy to dive deep under the skin’s surface. This allows the energy to stimulate collagen production, which contributes to your skin’s smoothness, elasticity, and overall suppleness.

Fraxel and Thermage laser treatments can also be used on other areas of the body for tightening skin. These lasers can help stimulate collagen in the arms, buttocks, legs, stomach, and other areas. They can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and help with body contouring.

It is important to note that both of these treatments come with side effects, but they are typically mild. With the Fraxel laser, patients can expect swelling and redness. Other symptoms might include dry, itchy or peeling skin. Thermage treatments may also result in swelling and redness, and could cause bumps or blisters. Neither of these treatments’ side effects last more than a few days.

These are only two of the many treatments available to people who need help reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Collagen injections and creams are among a host of other products that battle the signs of aging. Whichever method you choose, be sure to consult your physician before you begin any treatment. Once you have found the one that works for you, you will be on your way to younger looking skin in no time. See this link for more references.
