Treatment of facial wrinkles with different techniques and how to prevent wrinkles
The aging process and exposure to external factors such as sunlight and dust can lead to wrinkles, making you look older. In this article, we will discuss the treatment of facial wrinkles using techniques such as fillers and Botox, as well as prevention methods.
Causes of facial wrinkles:
• Aging is one of the main causes of facial wrinkles, as the skin's elasticity and collagen production decrease, leading to wrinkling.
• Prolonged exposure to sunlight negatively affects the skin's elasticity and freshness, which can cause dryness.
• Insufficient moisturization of the skin and inadequate water intake.
• Excessive use of cosmetics without properly removing them before sleep.
How to prevent facial wrinkles:
• Ensure regular moisturization of the skin.
• Regularly exfoliate the skin to remove impurities and dead skin cells.
• Drink an adequate amount of water.
• Follow a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
• Apply sunscreen before sun exposure and avoid direct sunlight.
• Get enough sleep.
• Thoroughly remove cosmetics before sleeping.
Different techniques for treating facial wrinkles:
Treatment of facial wrinkles with fillers:
Fillers contain natural or synthetic filling materials that treat wrinkles by filling the areas that need treatment.
Steps for injecting fillers into the face:
• The doctor determines the areas that need filler injections.
• Local anesthesia is applied to these areas.
• The doctor then injects the appropriate amount of filler into these areas.
Results of filler injections:
The duration of the results of filler injections varies depending on the type of filler used. Some types show results within a few days, while others may take several months.
Advantages of filler injections:
• There is no need for a long recovery period.
• No surgical incision is required.
• Time-saving, as the session usually takes less than half an hour.
• Comparatively cost-effective compared to other techniques.
Treatment of facial wrinkles with Botox injections:
Botox injections contain a substance that temporarily relaxes facial muscles and restricts their movement, thereby eliminating wrinkles.
Steps for injecting Botox into the face:
• The doctor determines the areas that need Botox injections to eliminate wrinkles.
• The patient is locally anesthetized.
• The areas with wrinkles are injected with Botox.
Results of Botox injections:
Usually, the results of Botox injections appear after a few days and can last for up to three months or more. Re-injections can be done to maintain the results every few months.
Advantages of Botox injections:
• Time-saving, as the session usually takes less than half an hour.
• Results appear within a few days and last for several months.
• There is no need for a long recovery period.
Treatment of facial wrinkles with laser:
This technique relies on removing the top layer of the skin, which contains impurities and wrinkles, leaving behind a new layer of skin. The laser works by exfoliating the skin and stimulating it to produce collagen.
Steps for facial wrinkle treatment with laser:
• Topical anesthesia is applied to the face.
• The doctor directs the laser beams to the face at a specific wavelength.
• The laser beams remove the outer layer of the skin and penetrate other layers of the skin, stimulating them to produce collagen, which restores skin's freshness.
Laser Results:
Initial results appear after two weeks, and the results continue to improve until reaching the final results after several months. The results can last for several years.
Advantages of Laser Treatment:
• It does not require surgical incisions.
• Its results last for a long time.
• It can be performed using only local anesthesia.
Treatment of facial wrinkles with plasma injections:
Plasma is a natural substance and one of the main components of blood. It has a yellowish color and is responsible for transporting nutrients to different areas of the body. Therefore, it treats wrinkles as it delivers nutrients to the face and stimulates the skin to produce collagen, thereby eliminating wrinkles.
Steps for plasma injections:
• A blood sample is drawn from the patient.
• Plasma is extracted from the blood using a centrifuge that separates it from other blood components and impurities.
• The plasma is filled into fine needles for injection into the face.
• The face is injected with plasma in areas with wrinkles.
Advantages of Plasma Injections:
• It does not cause allergies as it is a natural substance.
• It rejuvenates the face, eliminates bruises and impurities, and treats wrinkles.
• It does not require a long recovery time, and results can be seen in a short period of time.
