The search for anti-aging skin care has been long sought. Evidence dating back to ancient Rome and ancient Egypt reveal recipes for face masks used to diminish the appearance of wrinkles. Nowadays, the beauty market is saturated with anti-aging skincare products, all claiming to have bottled elixir from the fountain of youth. Unfortunately most of these products fall short of their promises. Thankfully, there are a few skin care treatments that do live up to all the hype.
There are 4 wrinkle treatments that actually work. They are endorsed by dermatologists and skin care professionals and are validated with scientific study.The result of advancing skin care technologies, these treatments are non-surgical and drastically less invasive compared to their archaic counterpart: the face lift.
There are many anti-aging skin creams and oils on the market, but the only products scientifically verified to effectively diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, are products that contain Retinoic Acid. Retinoic Acid, also known as tretinoin cream, or Retinol cream, is derived from Vitamin A. When topically applied, it stimulates new collagen production by enhancing the rate of turnover in skin cells. Anti-aging creams with Retinoic Acid can only make a modest difference against wrinkles. These creams are more effective when used as a preventative measure.
A breakthrough in laser technology has provided another effective treatment used to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Laser Skin Resurfacing uses fractionated lasers to stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Fractionated lasers penetrate below the skin, causing microscopic wounds. These wounds trigger a natural healing response. The body then increases its collagen production to aid in this healing process. Collagen can last up to 15 years, so any excess production creates long-term results.
Expert skincare professionals and state of the art technology keep SKINNEY Medspa as NYC’s premiere medical spa for laser skin resurfacing. Learn how this break through technology can reverse the signs of aging by increasing collagen and diminishing wrinkles.
Neuromodulators, like Botox, and dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid, comonly know as glycolic acids, offer instant results for treating wrinkles and fine lines. Botox works by paralyzing the over clenched facial muscles causing wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal Fillers are injected into the wrinkle, plumping it up and smoothing it out, creating dramatically younger looking skin. Another benefit of injectables is the convenience. Sessions take, on average 20 minutes, are relatively painless, and require no-down time. Results are immediate, but temporary.
Chemical peels safely remove the outer layer of skin to expose the newer, younger looking layer that lies underneath. The significantly smoother skin diminishes the appearance of wrinkles. Chemical peels can also help remove other age related skin conditions, such as brown spots. The chemical peel works by controlled blistering of the outermost layer of skin causing it to die, and peel off. Chemical peels that use Glycolic acid can also stimulate collagen production.
