How Cosmetic Dermatology Can Soften the Effects of Aging

While we do what we can to look beautiful naturally, our skin eventually catches up to our age. In fact, human skin loses as much as 1% of elasticity each year. While beauty creams and skin care can often help to firm and tighten loose, aging, wrinkled skin, sometimes we need a little extra help.

In the past, those wanted to reduce the effects of aging without going under the knife had few options. Luckily, with today’s latest technologies and noninvasive cosmetic dermatologist treatments, softening the effects of aging is both easy and convenient.

Botox
Botulinum toxix is a kind of bacteria that relaxes the facial muscles that cause onset wrinkling, crow’s feet, lines, and the like. Botox shots only take minutes to do, are relatively-pain free, and offer more benefits than just the cosmetic. For example, many use botox to help rid themselves of migraines. It is also used as a way to stop excessive sweating in adults.

Laser Treatment
Did you know that 85% of people suffer from some form of acne in their lifetime, or that 40% of teenagers already have scarring for acne? When people enter adulthood, these scars often linger. Another unsightly problem many people deal with on their faces and bodies are varicose veins, which are also known as spider veins. Luckily, there are ways to treat both acne scars and spider veins without any invasive procedures. Using laser acne treatments, it’s possible to treat acne and rid yourself of unwanted scars. When it comes to spider veins, spider vein laser treatment is available to rid yourself of unwanted spider veins.
