The good news is that we have come a long way in both the prevention and treatment of wrinkles so that when you do have this experience, you have plenty of options to treat the wrinkles and feel like yourself again.

Many methods such as anti-wrinkle injections, microdermabrasion and dermal fillers have become very popular among women to slow down the ageing process.

Anti-wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections have been around for many years with many women continuing regular treatments. This is because there are many benefits to getting anti-wrinkle treatments and the results can be seen shortly after treatment helping to restore a more youthful appearance for fine lines or deep wrinkles. Due to the process of anti-wrinkle injections softening and relaxing the muscles, the main benefit will be the softening of expression lines, minimizing unwanted smile lines and crows feet. By reducing fine lines and wrinkles, the process also prevents deeper wrinkle lines from forming in the future. Overall, you can expect a softer and more youthful appearance once undergoing anti-wrinkle treatments.

The most popular area that people tend to get injectable treatments is the face and you can choose to target specific areas such as; forehead lines, frown lines, bunny scrunch, forehead lines, neck lines, crows feet and expression lines. It is also common for people to also include treatments on their neck, targeting neck bands, which can be very prominent. Treatment can also assist with other Medical conditions such as Migraines, Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), Masseters teeth clenching.

 DermaSweep

 DermaSweep is another popular treatment for wrinkles and fine lines as it removes the top layer of skin which is mostly dead skin cells (stratum corneum) and stimulates new skin growth to reveal fresher, smoother, younger-looking skin.

 DermaSweep resurfaces the top most layer of dry, dead skin from the epidermis, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth just like other forms of Microdermabrasion. However the Dermasweep uses special bristle technology which does not tear the skin.

The process of microdermabrasion is simple and effective. Microdermabrasion uses a machine, a device similar to a tiny vacuum cleaner which combines exfoliation and light skin resurfacing. As well as treating wrinkles and fine lines, microdermabrasion is also very effective on; enlarged pores, clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads and uneven skin tone. First, your dermal clinician will thoroughly cleanse and assess your
skin. Then, a handpiece connected to a suction device will be moved slowly over your skin surface in a light brushing motion. As the device is moved over your skin, the dead skin cells are gently removed.
