The Most Common and Popular Skin Treatments

Many people want a way to look younger. There is no such thing as the perfect antiaging method, but there are modern procedures that help many people. These advances allow people to achieve a younger look without major surgery. If you are looking for the right treatment for you, here are some of the best, most popular options.

Injections

Injections, or Dermal Fillers, are among the most common methods for treating aging. Juvéderm, Perlane, Radiesse, and Restylane are four injections that fill wrinkles. They can also improve upon other imperfections in the skin. They serve as fillers that can help you sculpt and lift for a more smooth appearance. Surgeries and face-lifts pull at the skin; these treatments fill and plump the skin to make it seem more young and full. Some of the injections also help improve the growth of collagen in the skin, so you get natural results along with the filler. The results can last for months or a year, and most do not have serious side effects. Their costs depend upon the type of injection and the provider, but they can range from over $500, to near $1000. So, you will have to discuss it with your physician.

Lasers

CO2 Laser Treatments have become a popular method for skin resurfacing. This treatment targets wrinkles and lines, skin tone, sun and age spots, and more. Pigmented lesions, such as sun spots or moles, can be more than skin characteristics or nuisances—they can become cancerous. Your doctor will have to inspect the area prior to treatment to make certain there are not potential complications. The process is also called “laser resurfacing”; the laser penetrates the skin to resurface, remove dead cells, and promote new cell and collagen production. Despite the laser’s heat and penetration, the top layer of the skin is not injured. The provider will apply a topical anesthetic prior to the procedure. Then, the laser is used on the target areas of skin, and it is all accomplished very quickly. Thus, the procedure is not only bearable, the healing time is minimal. Your doctor will supply you with further care instructions. There are a few potential side effects, such as redness, but they are not usually intolerable. The procedure can be costly—a few thousand dollars, depending upon the provider—so it is important to talk to your doctor and find out if it is right for you.

There are plenty of ways to care for your face and maintain your skin’s youthfulness over time at home. The same physicians who provide injection and laser options can help you choose the best at-home creams and treatments, too, be they in addition to your clinic treatment, or not. Whatever you choose, make certain you discuss your history and options with your doctor, first. At Inverness Dermatology and Laser, we can discuss your needs and any treatments with you.
