Popular Sydney Cosmetic Wrinkle Procedures

Botulinum Injections   ·   May 19, 2010

Many people, with today’s advancement in different facial procedures can choose several different options. Both the patient and the Sydney Anti-Wrinkles Doctor should weigh all options to facial renewing, because each person’s skin is structured differently. Each person will react differently to each procedure and may or may not benefit from one or another of these procedures. The treatments and procedures listed are some of the more popular and well-known procedures. As there are the more invasive types of treatments, evaluate the severity of your wrinkles and flaws to figure out what solution is best.

Wrinkle Injections or Dermal Fillers – these types of injection treatments involve injecting a person with cosmetic medicine into the wrinkled area or muscles. At first, the muscles contract to crease the skin. Within a few days, the muscles will relax, causing the surface wrinkles to smooth and frown lines to lessen. Because these injections are so powerful and effective, many of the once noticeable wrinkle lines will soften significantly. The finer lines may disappear altogether.

Dermal Filler Injections- are  a newer filling agent made with hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance found in skin). This method is made to soften frown lines around the mouth, to add volume in parts of the chin, jaw line and lips, and to smooth out other lines and wrinkles. Dermal Fillers are similar to Wrinkle Injections in the way of receiving the injections, however, it’s become popular because it does not relax muscles but it restores the natural contours of the face. The hylauronic acid starts to absorb and retain water making that immediate area hydrated and keeps skin looking fresh.

Chemical Peels- chemical peels are achieved by applying a chemical solution to the wrinkled skin. A chemical peel isn’t made to treat severe wrinkles or sagging skin, but it can reduce fine lines around the mouth and under the eyes. Peels allow the skin to resurface its older dead layer of skin. It can also treat wrinkles and age spots caused by sun damage. These treatments can be used in several different mediums, The more deep chemical peels usually require more recovery time for a patient.

Collagen Injections- collagen is used in some injections as filler for soft tissue. This treatment is synthetic and starts its work at the edge of a wrinkle or small line and then filling out the wrinkled part of the skin. These are replaced by some of the more modern hyaluronic based dermal fillers and are rarely used in Australia any more.

Laser Peels- laser peels use short, concentrated light pulses that remove skin layer by layer. Laser peels can achieve more precise and accurate results that are similar to treatments like those of dermabrasion. These peels can be used to treat any part on the face: crow’s feet, around the mouth, and forehead. Carbon dioxide and erbium (a silvery white metal) are two types of lasers that are in modern day use. The erbium causes minimal burning of tissue surrounding the area affected by the laser, and will result in a quicker recovery time.

Microdermabrasion- this type of treatment is used to spray very fine crystals onto areas in which dead skin cells will be removed. Essentially it ’sandblasts’ the top dead layer of your skin. This type of treatment is meant for fine lines across different areas of the face, and for upper layers of the skin. Dermabrasion is a more extensive procedure than this, and is made to remove and get to deeper layers of skin. For those who have deep wrinkle lines and sagging skin, dermabrasion or microdermabrasion isn’t recommended because it will not create noticeable differences.
