The Preferred Wrinkle Treatment - Acid Peels; Botox Procedures Or Wrinkle Cremes?

If you notice lines on your face anytime you look in the mirror, and you can really say you are at ease with that, then I seriously admire you. I wish I could turn a blind eye to my very own wrinkles, but I quite simply can't. Like numerous others, I have lost track of what amount of time I have devoted to staying wrinkle free.

In the paragraphs that follow, I am going to comment on three sorts of treatment:

1. Chemical Peels

2. Botox Injections

3. Anti wrinkle creams

The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Chemical Peels

A chemical peel includes having one or other chemical substance applied to your skin to cause old skin to slough off and/peel off. Such peels, also referred to as acid peels can be found in different strengths, with a few being mild enough to be applied in your house. Others are incredibly strong, and can only be carried out by a duly qualified person.

Alpha Hydroxy Peels - This is the mildest recognized peel, and depending on the hydroxyl acid concentration in a certain product, you might be able to treat yourself at home. Hydroxy acid is found in many foods, including whole milk, tomatoes and sugarcane juice. These mild peels are not able to treat wrinkles, but frequent treatments may help to reduce fine lines and enhance the overall appearance of your skin.

Trichloroacetic Peels - The concentration of Trichloroacetic acid in these peels range from 20% to 50%, but a concentration beyond 30% is hardly ever used for the reason that there is a very high risk of long lasting scarring. At 50% concentration, the acid will penetrate your skin as far down as the reticular dermis. It can be useful for eliminating surface wrinkles and superficial marks. Nonetheless, you might need to be given prior treatment to prepare your skin for the peel, you have got to take a few days off work, and you should be well prepared for a hefty bill.

Phenol Peels - These are the strongest peels there are, and they can successfully clear up even deep wrinkles. On the downside, they are expensive, and you will have to use a sunscreen lotion for the rest of your life. The procedure can also be rather unpleasant, despite the fact that you would be heavily sedated. Because of the dramatic results that can generally be had, many people consider this to be the best wrinkle treatment on earth.

The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Botox Injections

Botox (Botulinum toxin) is a dangerous neurotoxin which is produced by a specific form of bacteria. In fact, it is the most toxic substance ever found. If injected into your veins or even into your muscles, it would only require about 1.5 nanograms per kilogram of body weight to kill you. To put it another way, if a man man weighing 120kg were to inhale just 0.0012mg, he would most likely die.

I know hundreds of millions of individuals across the world go for routine Botox injections, nevertheless I am not one of them, and I never ever will be. As far as I'm concerned, Botox cannot be the ideal wrinkle treatment.

Pros And Cons Of Anti Wrinkle Creams

As with lots of things in life, you have good wrinkle creams and you get terrible anti-wrinkle creams, such as those which are crammed full of chemical substances. Assuming you want to use a natural cream, then the major drawback would be the fact that not a single wrinkle cream will eradicate your facial lines overnight. It will take time to achieve the desired results. From a safety point of view, I would consider natural anti aging creams to be the best wrinkle treatment.
