But on the other hand, a little sunlight can do wonders to help remove stretch marks completely.

Why? Because as your skin catches rays from the sun, it produces Vitamin D. This helps heal your skin.

5 Methods to Remove Wrinkles | Aging Skin

Posted in Aging Skin on August 26th, 2010 by Amanda – Be the first to comment

This and other such observations have been duly noted by the website “A 2 Z of Health, Beauty and Fitness” to show how we are spending millions of dollars to regain our youth. In this endeavor, removing wrinkles seem to be the foremost method in keeping one’s youth. So here are some of the most common methods employed to remove wrinkles:

1. Sub-dermal injection: This method is one of the most popular ways to remove wrinkles. There are many types of sub-dermal injections that can be used according to “A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon”. One of the processes, used by those who have wrinkles due to post-traumatic stress, scarring or aging; is injecting autologous fat implants. These fat implants are taken from other parts of the patient’s body which the surgeon manually remove and inject in places from where wrinkles are to be removed.  Two types of collagen alternative, Hylaform and Restylane are also used in similar manner to remove wrinkles. Among the two, professionals prefer the latter as it is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance which is most hypoallergenic. Another primary non-surgical method of removing wrinkles is injecting Botox made of the same toxin that is responsible for botulism. This substance causes your facial muscles to “paralyze” resulting in a smooth looking skin that stays like that for months.

2. Tropical Cream: There are varieties of tropical creams that will help you to remove wrinkles, according to “A 2 Z of Health, Beauty and Fitness” website. The more effective creams, which also fight acne and skin damage along with tackling wrinkles, have tretinoin or Vitamin A acid. The user may see skin irritation and peeling but it is still advisable to use the cream till peeling stops. A natural substance found in fruit and milk, alpha hydroxyl acid or AHA, slowly remove wrinkles by going deep into the skin. According to the same website, your everyday moisturizer and antioxidant can also help you to remove wrinkles provided you use it in daily basis.

3. Chemical Peel: Three types of peels are available according to “A 2 Z of Health, Beauty and Fitness” website that help to remove wrinkles. The first, superficial peel, mostly have hydroxyl acid (may also contain trichloroacetic acids) and lasts for about 15 minutes. It however does not penetrate the skin too deeply. The second one has mostly trichloroacetic acids and penetrates the skin. The medium peel lasts about an hour. As the name suggests, deep peel lasts for 2 hours and phenol is exclusively used. If you undergo this form of peeling to remove wrinkles, be prepared to be in the hospital for two days and then rest for at least two weeks.

4. Laser removal: There are two types of laser treatment available for those looking to remove wrinkles. Caron dioxide beams are used in the process of laser resurfacing and it can remove wrinkles one layer at a time. Professional plastic surgeons use it along with other treatment to stop aging like face lift. But the procedure has serious side-effects like discoloring, scars, burns and even infection. On the other hand, non-ablative laser resurfacing uses light beams to remove discoloration and spider veins and activate collagen remodeling.

5. Cosmetic surgery: Many kinds of surgery are used by surgeons to remove wrinkles, chief among them being brow-lifts and face-lifts. These kinds of surgeries, according to “A 2 Z of Health, Beauty and Fitness” website have very little side-effects and are termed as minor surgeries. Basically both the processes are same; the skin is pulled tightly so that wrinkles in that area are removed instantaneously. The difference between the two is how much area of your face is undergoing this treatment to remove wrinkles. In a brow-lift, upper half of the face, from the nose, is subjected to this surgery while in face-lift, the entire face is done.
