Anti-Aging Treatments: Which One Best Suits Your Needs.
Aging is natural. We become wiser, more mature, and develop a better understanding of self and others. However, aging also makes us lose our skin laxity and firmness and in some cases self-confidence. Obtaining brown spots, blemishes, and losing facial volume is a reality that many people find hard to deal with. In such a situation, we need anti-aging solutions that not only help reduce signs of aging but also provide a graceful and natural look. Modern dermatology uses the latest technology along with a perfect blend of natural and synthetic substances for designing ideal anti-aging therapies that can deal with a variety of skin issues.
However, it could be hard to choose from so many available invasive and noninvasive therapies. Therefore, it is better to develop a thorough understanding of these. We can divide anti-aging treatment in the following categories.
Surgical Treatments –
These types of anti-aging treatments are only performed by experienced plastic surgeons. These anti-aging solutions include procedures such as browlift, threadlift, facelift, and Blepharoplasty (Eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids). Surgical anti-aging treatments usually require local or general anesthesia. Patients’ medical history is also checked to ensure that they are fit for a surgical procedure. These type of treatments also take relatively more time to recover and patients are prescribed strict skincare and medicines post-procedure.
Topical Treatments –
These are the most common types of anti-aging treatments that involve using such as Retinoids, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, antioxidant therapy, Hyaluronic Acid therapy (HA), etc. These anti-aging treatments do not involve using any types of invasive methods. These therapies focus on using natural and artificial substances that get absorbed into your skin and rejuvenate it from inside. Topical treatments do not include any downtime as you can go home right after the treatment without worrying about infection and strict post-procedure skincare.
Injectables –
This category of anti-aging treatment includes injectable options such as Botox and dermal fillers. These multipurpose fillers contain various organic and synthetic substances that rejuvenate your skin by improving skin texture and maintaining suppleness. The most commonly used dermal fillers are Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Dermal fillers are also used for correcting facial contour and improves the overall shape of your face to give it a more symmetrical look.
Treatment Administration through Devices –
This category of anti-aging treatments includes using specific high-tech devices that often use technologies such as fractional lasers, light beams, Radiofrequency (RF), and ultrasound. These treatments include procedure such as microneedling, coolsculpting, Fractional RF, Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) through microneedling, Fractional RF with Ultrasonic waves, Exion, Emfemme, Emsella, etc. These treatments use high-tech devices that have the ability to stimulate collagen, and elastic production beneath the skin without using any surgical intervention.
For instance, microneedling for PRP uses a microneedle applicator that punctures the outermost layer of your skin and sends ultrasonic waves to reach even deeper beneath the skin without physically penetrating it. This triggers a natural healing response in your skin and stimulates enhanced production of elastin and collagen. It ultimately promotes natural healing and makes your skin gain laxity and firmness over time.
Conclusion:
Anti-aging treatments itself have a separate category of their own that include a wide range of treatments that are designed and developed to deliver different types of results. While all of these treatments simply aim towards the aspect of anti-aging, their administration, recovery time, cost, and duration differ.
