Anti Aging Skin Products – Treatments That Really Work!
I am continually amazed at the barrage of anti aging skin treatments on the market today. Everything from basic skin care products, to facial exercises, to light therapy and of course, surgical interventions for those wanting a quicker fix. As for Hollywood, we’ve seen some of the great things that surgery can do and some of the “not so” great things that can happen. The question is, are you willing to risk the possibility that your facial surgery could end up in disaster?
If you decide it isn’t worth the headache or risk to go through with surgical intervention, then maybe check out some of these other solutions that are available. This is a short list of options you have available with multiple, multiple others on the market today.
Injectable Fillers – these fillers contain hyaluronic acid to “plump” the skin and stimulate collagen production. To maintain your skin with this method, you must repeat this procedure 2-3 times per year with the average cost ranging between 0-00 per injection.
Carbon Dioxide Laser Treatments – these treatments work to destroy the skin’s outer layer and causes the skin to produce new collagen while the wound heals. The recovery time is about 2 weeks with the cost is in the thousands.
Botox Injections – these injections into the muscles of the face, help to eliminate lines and wrinkles temporarily, but must be re-injected regularly to maintain the results every 3-6 months. Cost for these injections range from 0-0 per injection. This is a very popular treatment that is very effective for short periods of time.
Do It Yourself – treatments that can be done in your own home for a fraction of the cost of many treatments available. Using lasers, light emitting diodes (LED’s), Dr. Perricone’s, Light Renewal system, and Bliss’ Marvel-Mini Facial Light therapy, all of these help to eliminate lines and wrinkles, eliminate bacteria that causes acne, aids with hyperpigmentation and dark spots, with only 20-30 minutes per day, twice per week. Average cost for these devices is between 5-0.
Topical, Over-the-Counter, Retinol Creams – these creams are forms of vitamin A that help smooth fine lines and wrinkles by promoting new collagen growth. Fairly inexpensive, but not as effective as a prescription strength product. Check with your dermatologist for a more potent retinol cream that may be more effective.
Chemical Peel Treatments & Microderm Abrasion – very minimally invasive and help remove layers of dead cells from the skin allowing the new cells to regenerate, making dull lifeless skin look vibrant and radiant. They also help to repair damage done from the sun in the form of age spots. These treatments are also fairly inexpensive, but very effective in helping to smooth the skin and bring back radiance.
Facial Exercise Programs – these programs help to strengthen and contour the facial skin through a series of exercises repeated daily. There are a couple programs that have had successful results including the Facial Magic program from Cynthia Rowland, and Facial Gymnastics, CEO Ade Adeyemi Coles. These programs cost approximately -0 depending on your needs.
Of all these different choices, you can see there are many alternatives for you to choose from. Of most importance, using a good quality skin care product on your face daily is the best defense against aging altogether. Teach your children early on to take care of their skin, protect their skin from sun damage and as they age they can prevent the aging of their skin as quickly. Irregardless, the health of your skin really depends on how you take care of it on a daily basis. Every time you go to bed without cleaning your skin, you age the skin 10-15 years. Experts believe that only 20% of aging is hereditary while 80% is related to sun damage. You do have some control over these things! You can make the decision to clean and protect your skin DAILY. Use sunscreens, wear hats, wear sunglasses and clothing that protects from both UVB and UVA rays. Make sure your body is covered and protected!
