subject: How to Treat Aging Skin [print this page] Signs of skin aging appear as we ageSigns of skin aging appear as we age. Aging, as we all know is an irreversible process that everyone will go through, unless of course one dies early. Skin aging is also an irreversible process but unlike human aging, we could slow it down. There are a lot of ways to avoid and treat aging skin at present, and here are some of them.
One way of treating aging skin is by chemical peels. This treatment is quite effective in diminishing fine lines on the skin. It also helps in smoothening the surface of the skin, making the skin look and feel younger. Chemical peels removes the upper layers of the skin, exposing a new layer of the skin. There are different degrees of chemical peels. There's the light peel, medium, and deep peel. The degree of peel depends on the state of the patient's skin.
Another way of treating aging skin is by dermabrasion. Like chemical peels, dermabrasion involves removing of the outer layer of the skin. But unlike chemical peels which uses a chemical solution, dermabrasion uses a tool which "sands" the top layer of the skin.
Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedure in treating aging skin. This popular drug is injected on the face to help prevent and remove wrinkles. It basically paralyzes the facial muscles and stops the contractions, hence, the wrinkles and lines are removed.
Other ways of treating aging skin includes the use of anti wrinkle creams, drinking supplements and using skin care devices. There is no fountain of youth but we could definitely slow down the appearance of the signs of aging. Always remember to smile and be positive. For me, that's the best way to look young and feel young.
