The Best Anti-Aging Treatments
Rejuvenation procedures can return your appearance to a more youthful one, but unfortunately they cannot stop the ageing process. Here is a brief information about some of the most famous anti-ageing treatments in the world.
Isolagen anti-ageing treatment
Every year your skin thins by around 1% as collagen production cells diminish. The Isolagen technique uses your own cells to generate new collagen to plump skin, smooth scars and fill wrinkles. A skin sample is taken from behind your ear and fibroblasts are isolated and cultured so millions of new cells grow. After ten weeks your newly grown skin cells are injected back into your skin where they replace lost cells and start producing new collagen, followed by a second treatment 5-7 weeks later. A local or topical anaesthetic is given to minimise any discomfort during the biopsy and the injections. After the procedure there could be some mild irritation and pain.
Isolagen treats frown lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles round lips and eyes, scars caused by acne etc. The best thing about the Isolagen technique is that the results of Isolagen treatment on your skin can last for up to six years.
Restyline anti-ageing treatment
In this treatment, a very fine needle is used to inject tiny amounts of Restylane gel into the skin. This gel is made from biosynthesized hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in all living organisms and provides volume and fullness to the skin (similar to the skin’s own moisture-binding substance). The Restyline is good for lifting lines, wrinkles, plumping lips. It usually takes around 50 minutes and no skin-tests are needed. Usually the results are instant.
The Restyline lasts 5 to 10 months for wrinkles, and 6 months for lips.
Restyline treatment can be used for wrinkles correction, lip enhancement, correcting fine lines, it is also used for shaping facial contours.
Microdermabrasion anti-ageing treatment
Microdermabrasion is a general term for the application of tiny rough grains /crystals/ to buff away the surface layer of skin.
The microdermabrasion is more than exfoliation, but gentler than a chemical peel.
Micro-fine mineral crystals are air-blasted onto the skin with a vacuum pump to shift dead cells and blocked pores so skin is left fresher and smoother. The most common types of crystals used are corundum or aluminium oxide. With this treatment a high-speed mini-sander is used to remove the top layer of the skin. After the procedure the skin looks brighter and feels clean and soft, lines seem less pronounced. Dermabrasion smooth wrinkles, refine and clear enlarged pores, clogged pores, and face acne scars.
The standard treatment lasts around an hour, with optimal results after 5 weekly sessions.
Botox anti-ageing treatment
Botox is the brand name of a drug formulated from the natural proteins of botulinium toxin type. Botox is the most popular anti-ageing procedure in the world. Injected into the muscle, it binds on the nerve endings and blocks impulse that make muscle contract and cause wrinkles.
Botox specifically produces:
- a softening of the facial creases and folds that result when certain facial expressions are made
- a restored balance in cases of facial asymmetry due to inadequate muscle action or inaction in the face
Botox works best on brow, frown lines and crow’s feet. If the lines are too deeper, it is often used in conjunction with filler or with facial peels.
The treatment usually takes 5 to 6 minutes and the effect takes one week to reach its peak and last for about six months.
Botox is administered by specially trained, board-certified plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, dermatologists.
