Apply topical creams by massaging the cream onto your face.
Topical creams for facial lines and wrinkles are available at pharmacies, major department stores and supermarkets. Topical creams are as easy to apply as they are to find. You simply massage the cream onto your face until it is completely absorbed by your skin. Anti-wrinkle creams are excellent moisturizers and may slightly reduce the appearance of fine lines. However, topical creams are largely ineffective for people with more pronounced facial lines and wrinkles. If you don't need heavy-duty wrinkle control and are looking for an economical way to gently tone your skin around trouble spots like the mouth and eyes, topical cream may be the appropriate solution. Replexion (replexion.com), Dermitage (dermitage.com) and Actifirm (actifirm.com) are some popular anti-wrinkle creams you may want to consider.
Microdermabrasion decreases the appearace of wrinkles and indentations.
Microdermabrasion uses a small sweeping tool to completely exfoliate the top layer of skin. Once the worn outer skin layer is removed, a fresh layer of undamaged skin is exposed. This treatment works wonders for people with soft facial lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion tones the skin, decreases the appearance of wrinkles and indentations, and gives the skin a more vibrant appearance. You should expect to have four or five microdermabrasion treatments before seeing results.
Chemical peels result in smoother, tighter, and more youthful looking skin.
Chemical peels are an effective treatment for people with pronounced facial lines and wrinkles. If your skin does not look more youthful after trying topical creams and microdermabrasion, ask your dermatologist about a chemical peel to reduce facial lines. Your dermatologist will apply a chemical solution to your skin which causes the top layer of skin to peel off. Chemical peels typically result in smoother, tighter, and more youthful looking skin. You should notice that your face appears less wrinkled almost immediately after undergoing this treatment.
