Fortunately, modern appearance medicine makes it easier than ever to fight the effects of the aging process.
The latest wrinkle treatment options not only work wonders, but are more affordable than you think!
What are wrinkles?
This collapse will happen eventually due to natural aging, but the process can be accelerated by too much exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet damage), stress, and unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking and drinking.
Your skin will also lose its firmness as you get older, and this is due to a breakdown of elastin in the skin.
Think of collagen as the scaffold of your skin, while elastin is responsible for the tightness of the skin stretched over that scaffold.
Wrinkle treatment options
These anti-aging products and treatments come in many different shapes and forms, and we have listed below the most effective wrinkle treatment options available in New Zealand.
Dermal fillers
Depending on the area treated, the type of dermal filler used, and the person receiving the injections, results can last up to 18 months.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma treatment is excellent for delicate areas that are otherwise difficult to treat, ie: entire eye area, neck/décolletage and the backs of hands.
Botox & Dysport Injections
A great alternative to surgery, these simple, effective and low-risk treatments can reduce deep facial wrinkles and keep the treated muscles immobile for several months.
This in turn helps people lose the habit of frowning or squinting, which prevents lines from returning too quickly.
Fraxel (Laser)
Immediately after initial healing is complete, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter and tone will start to become even.
Progressive results occur over the next 3 - 6 months as the deeper layers of skin continue to heal, resulting in a smoother, fresher, younger-looking appearance.
Photorejuvenation (IPL)
The following two months after this safe and non-invasive procedure, the skin builds collagen up again to give an improved, healthier appearance.
Each treatment takes around twenty minutes, and a series of 2-6 sessions may be necessary, depending on the individual.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are one of the most effective anti-ageing treatments resulting in visibly improved skin texture and less visible wrinkles.
Dermapen
Dermapen treatment is excellent for refining the pores, firming the skin, reducing scarring and overall skin rejuvenation.
Wrinkle treatment products
Most professional wrinkle treatment options combine advanced active ingredients, including Vitamin E, C, K, B (antioxidants), botanicals, and Hyaluronic Acid.
