Removing facial wrinkles

Facial wrinkles:

Wrinkles are defined as folds or a series of bumps on the skin, which usually appear when a person ages or due to other factors that will be explained later, and there are multiple areas where wrinkles appear; Like the face, neck, hands and arms, facial wrinkles begin to appear based on the most visible facial expressions, and there have been many ways to get rid of wrinkles, whether natural or medical, which we will talk about in this article.

Medical methods to remove facial wrinkles:

Treatment with medications: such as topical retinoids that are derived from vitamin A and that reduce wrinkles, blemishes and skin roughness, including tretinoin (Renova, Retin-A), and tazarotene (Afag, Tazorak). The necessity of using sunscreen daily while using these medications in order not to damage the skin.

Anti-wrinkle creams: They can be used without a prescription, as they depend in part on active ingredients such as retinol, antioxidants, and some peptides that improve the skin and reduce wrinkles. 

Filler injection: Many different substances are used to fill wrinkles with them, such as many synthetic compounds, collagen, or hyaluronic acid.

Botox injection: Botox injection uses a pure botulinum toxin type A to inject the face into it. It only relaxes the muscles under wrinkles and thus allows the skin to stretch smoothly, making it wrinkle-free.

Laser treatment: This technique removes the upper layer of the skin, leaving a slight, sometimes unnoticeable wound. This stimulates the skin to produce collagen in abundance to make the skin wrinkle-free and smoother.

Chemical peels: Chemical materials are used to exfoliate the upper layer of the skin in this treatment, which creates a back reaction to the skin by producing more collagen, to get younger, smoother skin.

Skin Tightening: Using several special devices that use heat to tighten the skin, the results begin to appear gradually over a period of four to six months.
