What Are The No-Knife Cosmetic Fixes Available For A Clear Skin? – Part 1

Mirror, Mirror, Say It Ain't So

It is hard to ignore the vivid signs of aging you see in the mirror-like those little wrinkles around your eyes or lips, age spots, maybe some sagging skin at some point. Without going under the knife, there used to be a few options for turning back the clock. With many nonsurgical cosmetic procedures today, you can soften the effects of time on your face. 

Wrinkle Remedies

Injections of botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin) or prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs (Jeuveau) can provide a temporary fix if forehead creases are bringing you down. Here we find that they are made from the purified version of the toxin from the botulinum bacteria. Relaxing the clenched facial muscles that cause crow’s feet, frown lines, and the like is this toxin in tiny doses. Causing little pain, the shots take only a few minutes 

Before And After

Before you start to see results, these treatments usually take 3 to 7 days. Where you got the shots, you will notice smoother skin. Lines and wrinkles reappear as the muscle slowly is able to contract again. You will need injections every 3 to 6 months at first and less often after that to keep then away. 

Chemical Peel Basics

To remove old, dead cells from the outer layers of skin, chemical peels use an acid solution. Often having a mix of glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), is the solution. You might feel some stinging and irritation, as it can take about 15 minutes to apply. Your skin’s upper layers will peel revealing newer, smoother-looking skin over the next few days. 

Chemical Peel: Before And After

Reducing age spots, fine lines, acne scars, and wrinkles caused by sun damage or aging are a series of peels. Having more subtle results are mild treatments like the one shown here. Until you get the results you want, you can have one every few weeks. Having more dramatic results, in the end, deeper peels cause swelling and crusting at first. In 6 to 12 months, you can get moderate to deep peels. 

Microdermabrasion Basics

A procedure that sands away the top layer of skin, you may have heard of dermabrasion. It causes bleeding and needs a week of recovery time as also it can treat severe sun damage. A nonsurgical option is a microdermabrasion. It blasts the skin with tiny crystals that exfoliate the outer layer often called a power peel. Usually, with little recovery time, this reduces fine lines, brown spots, and mild acne scars. 

Microdermabrasion: After

It sucks the powdery dead skin cells from your face as microdermabrasion exfoliates. The new skin looks pink and feels tight like a sunburn right after. Leaving subtle improvements in tone and texture, it usually gets better in about 24 hours. Before you see the differences clearly, it can take up to 10 sessions a few weeks apart. 

Thermage Basics

Thermage can come to the rescue for saggy, crepe-like skin. To heat your skin this device uses radio-frequency energy. Which tightens the skin, the heat prompts your body to make collagen. One treatment is usually enough for good results as thermage can be painful. 

Thermage: Before and After -- Eyelids

Responding especially well to Thermage are droopy eyelids. The difference can be dramatic whereas you won’t see results until 4 to 6 months after the procedure.
