Effective Wrinkle Treatments in St. Louis

Wrinkles are an inevitable part of the aging process. When we are young, our cells reproduce at a rate that allows us our skin to retain its health, suppleness, and elasticity. As we grow older, cell reproduction begins to slow, leading to a withering of the dermal inner layer of the skin, wrinkle formation, and a reduction of skin elasticity and firmness. Many individuals opt for various wrinkle treatments and anti aging skin treatments in order to combat the process of wrinkle formation.

Understanding & Comparing Different Types of Wrinkle Treatments

While wrinkle formation is inevitable, there are a number of factors and bad habits that can contribute to and accelerate the process. For example, unprotected exposure to the sun accelerates wrinkle formation. Additionally, some lifestyle characteristics that affect the character of the collagen produced in the lower skin layer… like smoking, poor diet, and stress… also increase the likelihood of wrinkle formation.

While there are many quality medical grade home cosmeceutical products that are effective in anti-aging results, their success is a bit limited in treating wrinkles alone. While facial skin products are very effective in working in concert with more advanced treatments…. procedural wrinkle treatments are known to work faster, be more effective, and last longer than creams and gels.

At Midwest Vein Care, we offer a range of wrinkle treatments for individuals of varying ages. The following are some of the wrinkle treatments we perform:

• Microdermabrasion: The wrinkle treatment microdermabrasion use a diamond encrusted wand to exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation is a process that involves the careful removal of the upper cell layer from the surface of the skin. Microdermabrasion also uses suction technology to lift the skin in order to improve the effectiveness of the procedure, as well as sweep away the loosened skin cells. It is a painless and non-invasive procedure that has yielded great results for many patients.
• Chemical Peels: Chemical peel wrinkle treatments are similar to microdermabrasion techniques. These wrinkle treatments involve the application of a chemical solution that causes the superficial dead skin to be safely loosened and removed from the targeted facial area. By removing the upper layers of the skin, the lower skin layers are stimulated to produce new, fresh skin… and the lower dermis is stimulated to produce more collagen.
• Injections: These wrinkle treatments involve injecting a neuromuscular paralyzing chemical or space filling substance underneath the surface of the skin. Botox injections are successful in combating wrinkle formation by temporarily preventing the targeted muscles from contracting and causing facial wrinkles. Filler injections like Juvaderm work by actually implanting a small amount of a safe substance in the depressed wrinkle area to elevate it and smooth the skin. However, Botox and filler injection treatments are not permanent and ongoing injections will be necessary to maintain the achieved facial smoothing result.
• CO2 Resurfacing: CO2 resurfacing , also known as laser skin resurfacing, is a technique that uses light energy at particular wavelengths to simultaneous remove precise depths of facial skin layers as well as heat the dermis in order to increase the production of collagen. The profractionated CO2 laser resurfacing will result in the removal of old, sun damaged, pigmented, lax skin….resulting in a brighter, smoother, more even and firmer facial skin. Laser-based wrinkle treatments have been known to have long-lasting results.

Benefits of Wrinkle Treatments

Wrinkle treatments are admired because of their ability to making the aging process less evident, while also slowing it through the stimulation of important healing proteins like collagen. Individuals will additionally benefit from improved self-esteem.

Most wrinkle treatments are minimally invasive and relatively painless. Individuals may have to undergo multiple sessions for some treatments, but results are usually noticeable from the very first session. For the very best and longest lasting results, usually a layering and integration of various treatment techniques are recommended.
