Fine lines are the first indicators of skin aging in women (and men). They are caused by multiple factors, such as the action of the sun, the loss of collagen and the reduction of skin elasticity. Although there is no topical solution or cosmetic procedure that can completely eliminate fine lines, there are other non-invasive remedies that can significantly improve the appearance of the skin.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Try a Topical Solution
Step 1. Buy a moisturizing anti-wrinkle product that minimizes fine lines
There are many solutions on the market that are valid both under prescription and without a prescription and even at the supermarket.
Step 2. Read the product label before purchasing
Look for creams based on ingredients with proven effectiveness in treating fine lines, such as retinol, hydroxy acids, copper-peptides, kinetin and coenzyme Q10.
Step 3. Have realistic expectations about the results you can get from topical solutions
Even products with cutting-edge formulas are not able to completely eliminate fine lines. For more visible results, ask your doctor for advice.
Method 2 of 2: Consider Cosmetic Procedures
Step 1. Ask your doctor about using Botox (Botulinum toxin) to reduce fine lines
This substance is usually injected on the forehead and on the areas most affected by wrinkles. The treatment lasts only a few minutes and the results last several months before more injections are needed.
Step 2. Learn about the latest dermatological fillers available
Dermatological fillers are injections of the active ingredient directly on wrinkles; in this way, the substance acts from the inside plumping the skin for a smoother effect. The most recent formulas guarantee results for at least a year without the need for retouching.
Step 3. Consider a chemical peel to rejuvenate your skin and to remove fine lines
Chemical peels are carried out by doctors and vary according to the type of skin to be treated and according to the aesthetic problem. The chemical solution is applied to the skin, removing the outermost layer of cells. As a result, the skin is softer, rejuvenated and has fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Step 4. Ask your doctor about “laser skin resurfacing” (ablative skin rejuvenation)
Laser treatments are the last frontier of skin rejuvenation. The light emitted by the laser penetrates the skin surface, stimulating the production of collagen for a fresher and more rested effect. This treatment is not particularly invasive and does not require long recovery times.
Step 5. Consider using intense pulsed light instead of laser rejuvenation
Pulsed light is similar to lasers; in fact, it penetrates the skin stimulating the production of collagen. The difference is that this treatment uses a different type of light that can treat different types of skin imperfections as well as minimize wrinkles.
