5 Best Anti-Aging Treatments Without Surgery

When it comes to the motivation behind the vast majority of cosmetic surgery procedures, it is fair to say that anti aging is the number one reason. Patients who choose to undergo treatment at the Cosmetic Laser Clinic BYou want ways of rejuvenating skin and to stop aging process effects. When it comes to how to prevent aging there are certainly procedures that work better than others. If your skin changing with age is becoming noticeable with reduced elasticity and lines and wrinkles, then you might want to start thinking of ways to prevent, slow down, and reduce the visible effects.

Non-surgical methods against aging

With all of this in mind, here are five of the best anti aging treatments that you can get without having to go under the knife.

Laser Resurfacing

What is laser skin resurfacing? It is a way of rejuvenating the skin that involves removing damaged outer layers to encourage the growth of newer, healthier layers underneath. This results in a young, natural look. It is recommended by doctors for those who are looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars in a non surgical way.

Pros

•     This procedure is especially recommended for evening out skin tone, resulting in an overall more pleasingly aesthetic face. The presence of premature wrinkles can be eliminated with skin resurfacing, along with other issues like sun damage and acne scarring that would otherwise be left untreated.

Cons

•     Though there are very few cons when it comes to laser resurfacing, there are still things that you need to consider before undergoing- as with any cosmetic procedure. The biggest of these is usually human error. This means choosing the right doctor to perform the treatment, one that has all of the right qualifications and has performed the treatment many times before.

Microneedling

Microneedling is the process of using a dermaroller to prick the skin with multiple small needles at the same time, with the purpose of generating new collagen and skin tissue cells. This results in a much smoother, former, more toned skin on the face overall.

Pros

•     Microneedling is minimally invasive and requires absolutely no down time when the procedure is performed correctly. It is considered to be a safe option for all patients who are in generally good health, and can be of help for issues such as large pores, scars, and wrinkling.

Cons

•     As you might expect from a treatment that pricks the facial muscles hundreds of time, microneedling does pose a risk of things like bleeding, bruising, peeling, and infection. This, however, is very rare for this kind of advanced dermatology skin treatment, so don’t be put off by the very few bad experiences you might hear/read about.

PRP Face Treatment

Also commonly known as the ‘vampire facial’, platelet rich plasma treatment is a kind of facial in which blood from your arm is separated from its platelets and then injected into your facial skin via microneedling. The aim of this treatment is to inject a youthful glow back into a sagging face. The introduction of platelets aids cell turnover and almost tricks the skin into thinking it is much younger and more productive. 

Pros

•     If you are somebody who isn’t keen on experimenting with injecting things like fillers and other synthetic chemicals into your body, then a vampire facial is something that uses ‘ingredients’ from your own body rather than a lab. It is fantastic for problems like dry skin and age spot, and had been proven to be extremely effective as a new way to improve skin.

Cons

•     As vampire facials involve microneedling, there is again the risk of things like bleeding, swelling, redness, and overall inflammation depending on how sensitive your skin is to begin with. In the most severe cases, this redness and swelling can be present on the face for a few weeks, but usually it is only a few days which is in line with other collagen treatments.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is the process of removing the top layer of skin with a small hand held device, to then allow the healthier layers underneath flourish and give you a more youthful and aesthetically-pleasing appearance.

Pros

•     This is a procedure that is safe and appropriate for all skin types, whether your issue is wrinkles and fine lines or loose skin in certain areas of the face. The core benefits involve being able to help complexion dullness, uneven skin tone, age spots, scars, and acne marks.

Cons

•     In what is becoming a familiar theme with these kinds of treatments, the risks of microdermabrasion are things like skin swelling, bruising, skin redness, increased sensitivity and sometimes a burning or stinging sensation in the aftermath of the treatment. It is worth repeating that these kinds of side effects are generally rare.

 

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are an injectable kind of cosmetic treatment that involve introducing a filler solution in an area of the face to give a smoother, plumper look that exudes youth and health. They work to fill the lines and wrinkles that come with age, visibly taking years off of a face.

Pros

•     The biggest benefit of dermal fillers is the fact that they are so available in their various brands and forms across the country. A dermal filler will often be one of the first treatments that you are offered when you express the desire for anti-aging solutions, and compared to some other kinds of cosmetic surgery, the price is still relatively low for a series of basic treatments.

Cons

•     The biggest drawback with dermal fillers is the fact that they are not permanent and will need to be topped up if you want to maintain the youthful results that the injection achieves. The temporary nature of dermal fillers could also be seen as a positive, however, as it means that you never have to live forever with a treatment that you were not satisfied with. You can always try again with dermal fillers if you wait a few months!

For any cosmetic treatment always seek a one-to-one consultation with a certified, credible clinic who will assess your suitability and recommend the best treatment for the condition you want addressed.
