Reduce Wrinkles

It is inevitable to develop wrinkles as we age. We can only do so much to slow down the process. There are several procedures employed that can help diminish the effects of aging such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing, each with its own advantage and disadvantage.

It is always best to consult your skin care professional or dermatologist as to what procedure is best for you to achieve encouraging results on your skin. Reactions to the various procedures differ for each person. The positive effect that one may achieve with a certain procedure may instead aggravate your condition. Your doctor should know what is best for you and it is imperative that you trust them completely.

To repair prematurely aged skin, most specialists will recommend several nutritional supplements which have antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals that revitalize the skin. Aged skin can cause wrinkles since they lack the flexibility of the cells found in younger skin. This causes it to sag and wrinkle. Thus, the goal of this type of treatment is to remove the old skin layer to be able to make room for the new skin layer to surface. This is achieved by increasing the rate of cell turnover until it is consistent with the turnover rate of healthy skin which is 21 to 28 days. Then, when the top layer of dead skin cells is removed and indentations occur, removers are relaxers or fillers such as botox, restylane, and collagen.

Consult a skin care expert for advice on how to fix aged skin and which supplement is best for your body and skin's metabolism. Ask for advice on nutritional supplements that contain antioxidants and revitalizing vitamins and minerals.

The purpose of any skin treatment program will be to increase the cell turnover so that it's rate is more consistent with that of healthy skin.

Wrinkle Treatments

The rate of healthy skin turnover is every 21 to 28 days. Here are some suggestions:
A rejuvenating facial employs deep cleansing with the addition of antioxidants and serums made for the reduction of the visible aging signs.
A glycolic acid peel removes dead skin cells through the exfoliation of the skin which in turn stimulates the production of new collagen for the growth of new cells.
Microdermabrasion is the mechanical way of shedding the old layer of skin by using a machine to exfoliate the dead skin cells, thus increasing cell turnover.

Skin treatments should be made a regular habit, practiced every four to six weeks which is as often these skin cells turn over. Nothing will be gained with just one treatment. It should be a constant thing and done with the supervision of your skin care specialist because if not, then it is useless to even start treatment.
