Anti Aging Treatment


Anti Aging Treatment

Relevant information about Anti Aging Treatment.


      Aging is one of the biggest concerns among women and men. To avoid, medicine offers not only numerous treatments, but also there are a lot of tips. These include: wearing sun block on a daily basis, because exposing to the sun without it is one of the main causes of premature aging; do not wash your face too frequently, twice a day is enough; sleeping from 6 to 8 hours, and never with make-up on; exercise is recommended in order to give the skin a healthy look; careful selection of skin products; and smoking can produce a premature aging of the skin, nicotine is very harmful, and not only to your skin.

There are a vast number of treatments that can help reduce the signs of aging and reducing wrinkles. These include:

  • Microdermabrasion: is it a procedure that sheds the old layer of a person’s skin by using a machine that exfoliates the skin cells that are dead; then it will begin the cell renewal. It will diminish the irruption of wrinkles or fine lines and contract large pores. It takes only 20 to 30 minutes to execute it, consisting on various sessions. The person’s skin will show an improvement temporarily and a fresher and more glowing face will be noted. On the other hand, if the treatment is prolonged more than recommended, it will lead to skin irritation and scarring; it is contraindicated for those who have open sores or suffer from herpes. Therefore, microdermabrasion is safe when is used in the proper way.
  • Mesotherapy: it is an anti-cellulite treatment that involves the injection of a particular cocktail of chemicals (which may include drugs, vitamins and herbs) into the cellulite. The release of these chemicals into the area where you have cellulite should reduce it. However, this process is a non-regulated treatment, consisted of 5 to 10 sessions, and it is not a cheap procedure. The cocktail of chemicals that is injected into the cellulite area varies from one doctor to another: the doctor decides what chemicals he uses in the cocktail.
  • Skin re-juvenation: involves the regeneration and removal of the old/dead layers of skin cells, exposing the younger ones that will eventually grow. A better result will come from combining it with mesotherapy. In order to get your skin to look younger, there are different treatments such as peeling or light exfoliation.
  • Chemical peel: it is a procedure that accelerates exfoliation using a chemical agent, and there are three mechanisms through which it creates modifications in the skin: stimulation of the skin growth removing the stratum cornea; elimination of damaged skin (which will replace them with “normalized” tissue); induction of the production of new collagen and ground substance in the skin. There are different levels of peels. Deeper includes a bigger risk of complications as well as a longer recovery. These levels are: very superficial (there are very thin peels, exfoliation); superficial (creates necrosis of a part of the skin; epidermal); medium (necrosis of the skin); deep (necrosis on skin and papillary dermis). Allergic reactions, scarring, acne, infection, hypo pigmentation and premature peeling are among the risks that involve a chemical peeling. A glycolic acid peel consists of the elimination or removal of the dead cells of the skin by exfoliating the skin and through the stimulation of the production of collagen and new cells.
  • Botox: is a cosmetic procedure that involves the soft elimination of wrinkles and facial expressions, like frown lines, lines around the eyes and furrows in the forehead. The Botox powder (small amount), mixed with saline, is injected into different muscles of the face, taking only 15 minutes and in only 5 or 7 days the result will be seen (remaining for at least 3 to 5 months). This procedure blocks the nerve impulses which diminish the muscle activity that is responsible for causing lines in the face. Botox achieves the paralysis the muscle stopping the contraction that causes the wrinkles. Headache, flu, nausea and pain at the areas that were injected are the side effects of the Botox procedure. Although it is recommended to stay out of the sunlight, regular activities can be resumed immediately. A doctor must be consulted in order to fully understand the risks and complications of the Botox procedure.
  • SmartLipo: as a fat reduction treatment and minimally invasive, it consists of a tiny incision where a micro canula or tube is inserted. Then, a laser is placed on the fat layer under the skin making a slow movement and eliminating the walls of the fat cells. This procedure takes from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the amount of fat in the different areas of the body. Soreness and discoloration may occur during the healing process. Results can be seen in the period of 12 weeks.
  • Laser skin resurfacing: as an invasive procedure, it involves the improvement of the wrinkles, fine lines, or scars, mainly around the mouth and eyes, and is done in 2 or more sessions using a laser beam. This laser beam stimulates collagen production. Among the risks of the laser skin resurfacing procedure you can find: scarring, infection, burns and pigmentation. Furthermore, this laser treatment could trigger herpes or infections in the skin. The extent of the recovery time might take a long period of time.
  • Eyelid surgery or eye lift: eliminates the excess of skin or fat around the eyelids and it can also treat drooping eyelids. It is commonly done together with a facelift or a brow lift. After surgery, one will feel pain and swelling, and after a week the stitches will be removed. Ten days after the procedure regular activities can be resumed. Additionally, a facelift can correct the sagging in the face, the excess of fat or skin below the chin and fat that is displaced.

In contrast with all these procedures and treatments, the most natural anti-aging treatment is the incorporation of raw and organic foods into the diet, which will additionally keep the person healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables, grains, spices, nuts, seeds and seasonings is the best anti-aging treatment. It can also help a person to lose weight as well as improving one’s skin texture. Doctors can also recommend the use of nutritional supplements with vitamins and proteins that help the revitalization of the skin.

The goal of any anti-aging treatment is to raise the renewal of the skin cells to replace the dead ones. The skin treatments should be done regularly in order to see a consistent result; however, always with the supervision of a doctor specialist.
