Everyone wants to look younger, but how far a person is willing to go to achieve that depends on the individual.
Going as far as surgery for a more youthful appearance isn’t for everyone. Luckily, there are other options as an alternative to going under the knife, each with their own advantages

Types of anti-aging treatment
Different types of treatment give different results and are usually specified to each individual client’s personal needs.
If you suffer from rosy cheeks for example, then the treatment recommended would be very different from someone wanting less-noticeable wrinkles.
Below are our main types of anti-aging treatments: while they all differ in complexity, cost, and recovery time, they are all minimally invasive and far less stressful than surgery.

Dermal Fillers
One of the most popular non-surgical treatments are dermal fillers.
These are literally “fillers” that are injected under your dermis (skin). This injectable solution fills the soft tissue under the skin, plumping it up from behind, giving a more solid, youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers smooth out lines and wrinkles, and can be used on most areas of the face, including the lips.
Depending on the area treated, the filler used, and the person receiving the injections, results can last anywhere from six to eighteen months, with the procedure usually taking between 30 to 60 minutes.

Botox/Dysport
The two brands available in New Zealand are Botox and Dysport, both of which we use here at the Vein and Skin Clinic. Botox and Dysport work by preventing muscles from receiving nerve signals that tell them to move.
With prolonged use, this weakens the muscles, reducing wrinkles, and over time, the lines caused by frowning may even diminish.
Botox and Dysport can keep the treated muscles immobile for several months, helping people lose the habit of frowning or squinting. Loosing this habit prevents lines returning too quickly once the toxin has worn off.

Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation treatment encompasses various methods including Lumenis M22 IPL, Quantum IPL, Fraxel (Laser) and Omnilux (LED) to make your skin more youthful in appearance.
By using intense pulsed light, or IPL for short, the treatment creates small, controlled wounds on the skin, encouraging it to heal itself by creating new cells.
These new cells give a fresher, more youthful appearance, and can be used to treat a variety of issues from age spots to freckles.
The procedure is generally harmless and non-intrusive, with each patient given their own treatment plan, unique to their specific needs.
Typically, IPL treatment takes several appointments, each lasting around 20 - 40 minutes, with excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction.

Fraxel Laser
The treatment is perfect for acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and other skin blemishes, with the effects being similar to a heavy sunburn, leaving a fresh layer of skin after treatment.
