As we get older, it’s only natural for the skin to change. The depletion of collagen within the skin paves way for fine lines and wrinkles that can add years to our face. Now, whilst we can’t turn back time, there are plenty of non-invasive treatments you can have to help remove wrinkles without surgery.
What causes wrinkles?
To help understand how non-surgical anti-aging treatments work, it helps to learn a little more about the skin, and exactly what causes wrinkles to develop.
As you may know, your skin produces two major proteins, collagen, and elastin. Combined these proteins are vital for overall skin health, and help the skin retain its moisture, laxity, and volume.
Unfortunately, as we age the production of both proteins slows down. This, combined with a lifetime of smiling, pulling faces, and exposing the skin to the harmful rays of the sun, causes the skin to become drier, lose fat volume and bone structure and develop fine lines and wrinkles.
How to remove wrinkles without surgery
When it comes to tackling fine lines and wrinkles without surgery, there are three effective routes for you to explore.
Skin treatments, for example, chemical peels are specially designed to improve skin texture and introduce effective active ingredients to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reveal a brighter more youthful complexion.
Here at Ness Aesthetics, we offer a wide range of skin treatments to effectively remove wrinkles without surgery.
Chemical peels – Chemical peels use a unique combination of exfoliating and hydrating ingredients that together, help to remove dead skin cells, reduce wrinkles and discoloration, repair sun damage, and stimulate collagen production within the skin for a tighter, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
Microdermabrasion – This type of skin treatment uses fine crystals to remove dead skin cells, and effectively remove oils and bacteria from the skin to improve overall texture and target fine lines and wrinkles.
Laser treatments
As the name suggests, laser treatments use specially designed lasers to target the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin.
These procedures use combine heat, at a specific frequency to apply heat to both the dermal and epidermal layers of skin. This, in turn, causes the body to produce more collagen in those areas.
When collagen levels increase, it helps to plump the skin which helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Laser treatments can also be used to improve the appearance of stretch marks and improve skin texture and tightness.
Injectables
Injectables, including Botox and dermal fillers, have become increasingly popular in recent years. They are used to fill deep folds within the skin and reduce muscle contraction for a smoother complexion.
Botox – When injected into the skin, this Botox effectively reduces muscle movement within that area, which in turn prevents the skin from creasing. This helps to reduce the formation of wrinkles from facial expressions, and smooth pre-existing lines before they become more prominent. Botox treatment can last up to several months.
Dermal Fillers – By injecting natural filler materials, such as Hyaluronic acid under the skin, dermal fillers like Juvederm help to fill in fine lines and remove wrinkles and restore volume in the face. They can even be used to create fuller lips, correct the shape of the nose, contour the face, and plump up hollow areas.
These treatments can last up to one year, making them a perfect long-term non-surgical solution.
