If you?re looking for relatively affordable and minimally painful ways to fight the visible signs of aging, you have a few options to consider. The most common methods are ones classified as a non-surgical facelift. These types of procedures cover a variety of different injectable solutions that create varying effects.
For example, Botox injections smooth out fine lines and wrinkles making the skin appear smoother and younger. The average Botox patient is between the ages of 40 and 59, and roughly 80% of Botox patients report visible results within a week of their treatment. Typically Botox treatments will last around four months. However, results may vary based on a number of personal factors.
Other anti-aging options include laser skin resurfacing, hgh therapy, and stem cell therapy. The cost and anticipated pain of these procedures vary as do the results. Some of these options remove the outer layer of skin revealing new, radiant looking skin.
Other options involve injecting a solution into your skin that creates a barrier just under the surface that puffs out the skin where wrinkles are visible. This removes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The effectiveness of these treatments depends on the number of treatments received and how visible the wrinkles are to begin with.
The anti-aging skin care industry has consistently seen revenue numbers over $2 billion for nearly 10 years. The quest to defy the physical signs of aging and to look younger has been a goal for both men and women for a long time.
Aside from the available procedures, there is a nearly endless amount of anti-aging products on the market. Everything from cleansers to lotions, each promising visible results. Over the counter products can range greatly in price from a couple dollars to well over $100.
There are also anti-aging spa services available. Many spas offer facials and microdermabrasion procedures. Microdermabrasion procedure scrubs away the outer layer of skin revealing the fresh layer of skin beneath. This is done with the use of a course cleanser. There are also chemical peels, which work in a similar facial, but with a different solution.
While there are pros and cons to each available method, it is generally best to spend money on methods that are proven effective with fast results. For that, an anti-aging procedure such as Botox is your best option. The majority of Botox patients report relatively little pain associated with the procedure, and it is popular among both men and women.
Research the options in your area and speak to several professionals before making a decision. While there is a lot to consider, keep in mind that non-surgical anti-aging methods do not provide permanent results, so if you are unhappy with the results or the pain level, you don?t have to live with it.
Speak with others who have received Botox of other anti-aging methods to see what they think. Would they recommend it to others? Are they happy with their results?
