Top 3 Anti-Aging Treatments To Get Rid of Wrinkles
1. Wrinkle Fillers
As your skin ages, it loses the collagen that helps shape and support it. Wrinkle fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are naturally-derived materials that are injected beneath the skin to make it fuller.
When injected, such hyaluronic dermal fillers restore lost volume and elasticity that your skin has lost due to normal aging. They also brings water to the surface of the skin to keep it looking fresh and supple.
Dermal fillers are an effective treatment for:
- Enhancing the volume of thin lips
- Eliminating unwanted facial lines (such as frown lines and upper lip lines)
- Filling out the hollows beneath the eyes
- Plumping up gaunt areas of the face (such as the cheeks)
|
How it works: These dermal fillers plump up the tissue underneath the skin, shrinking wrinkles. As a result, skin becomes firmer, smoother and younger looking. How long does it take? Dermal fillers are a quick and effective treatment and, depending on the location and size of the treatment area, takes 30-60 minutes. How long will the results last? The effects of wrinkle fillers are long-lasting but not permanent. The results of a Juvederm treatment can last anywhere from 6-12 months. Benefits of wrinkle fillers: There are many advantages to using dermal fillers such as Juvederm including:

2. Botox
Botox is one of the most sought out treatments at our skin clinic for patients looking to prevent or reverse the signs of aging on their face.
Unlike dermal fillers which plump up the skin, filling in any creases, Botox works by reducing the activity of facial muscles which cause wrinkles.
Botox can be used to treat many aging concerns including:
- Crow’s feet
- Lip lines
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
|
How it works: Botox is made from a purified neurotoxin which, when injected, temporarily blocks signals from certain facial nerves to your muscles, pulling the skin tighter and smoothening out any unwanted wrinkles. How long does it take? Injecting Botox requires no anesthetic and takes no longer than 15 minutes, though the time can vary depending on the size and location of the treatment area. How long will the results last? Like with wrinkle fillers, the effects of Botox are long-lasting but not permanent. A treatment is required every 3-4 months although patients have reported longer wait times after repeated treatments. Benefits of Botox: There are many advantages to using Botox including:

3. Chemical Peels
While dermal fillers and Botox are effective treatments for deep wrinkles, early signs of aging can be successfully eliminated using the gentle and safe chemical peels at our Calgary skin clinic.
Chemical peels can improve the appearance of wrinkled skin by using a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of old skin, revealing newer, smoother and more rejuvenated skin beneath.
There are 3 types of chemical peels (light, medium and deep) which can be used to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles due to sun damage
- Acne/Acne scarring
- Skin blemishes
- Skin pigmentation
|
How it works: A chemical peel involves applying one or more chemical solutions to your skin. The process creates a controlled wound, allowing new skin to grow in place of the wrinkled skin. How long does it take? Depending on the intensity of the chemical peel you opt for and the location/size of the treatment area, one chemical peel can take up to 45 minutes. How long will the results last? While you will notice immediate improvement in your skin after just one chemical peel, you will be able to enjoy a total transformation of your skin tone, texture and appearance after 3-6 treatments. For deep chemical peels, one session is sufficient. Benefits of Chemical Peels: There are many advantages to using chemical peels including:
