What types of anti-aging treatments exist?

When we say that science is working tirelessly on the development of facial treatments capable of satisfying the desires, tastes, and needs of each person, we mean it.

In fact, science and the beauty, health, and relaxation industries are working so hard that there are already countless anti-aging, anti-aging and anti-wrinkle treatments that complement or go beyond what cleansers, exfoliators, moisturizers, etc. can achieve on a daily basis.

These more 'potent' or 'special' treatments are what this article is going to talk about.

Among the best and most powerful anti-aging and anti-wrinkle treatments for the face we find the following.

We explain them in depth (with advantages and disadvantages, benefits and risks) so you know what they are talking about and can opt for one or the other if you wish. Some have truly amazing results!

Botox (botulinum toxin)

Botulinum toxin facial treatments, whose best-known brand name is Botox, are highly effective in removing wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin.

Normally, a Botox treatment requires one or more injections of the substance with a very small needle under the skin muscles so that it is well stretched.

Contrary to what many people believe, botulinum toxin treatments do not require anesthesia, surgery or hospitalization.

The advantages of Botox over other facial treatments are that it is an easy technique to apply (by a professional), that it hardly hurts, that it does not leave scars, that it does not require recovery care nor does it force you to stay out of the sun.

The biggest risk of Botox is probably that you overdo it and end up becoming one of those celebrities who look like plastic so, if you're going to use it do it with head and control and, if possible, advised by a good professional.

Korean routine

The Korean facial treatment is better known as the Korean routine,

It is a daily facial beauty ritual very popular in South Korea that aims to keep the skin healthy and, above all, beautiful and luminous.

The Korean routine features 10 steps and numerous cosmetics including a cleanser, an exfoliator, a facial toner, an essence, some serum, a mask (sheet mask), various creams, and sunscreen.

As you can see, it is a complete treatment, good for your face, your discipline, and your memory, whose results are not enhanced by listening to Gangnam Style.

Treatments lifting

Watch out for lifting effect facial treatments, because there are those who use this term to refer to some kind of non-surgical treatment and there are those who use it to talk about a lifting surgery (a skin tightening to remove wrinkles that involve surgery).

Before you undergo one, make sure you know what you are going to do, where and by whom, which is always a qualified professional.

If all goes well, one way or another you should get the same thing: more beautiful, healthier and younger-looking skin.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).

The name intense pulsed light or IPL facial treatments comes from intense pulsed light. This type of treatment seeks to rejuvenate the skin and eliminate skin marks and blemishes, especially those left by the sun.

IPL facial treatments consist of the application of light beams on the skin of the face, beams of light that the skin absorbs to achieve the desired result (removal of blemishes, improvement of rosacea, etc.)

This facial treatment usually requires several sessions and, in principle, is painless. However, it should be applied by a qualified professional for maximum safety and results.

Micro-needling and microneedling.

Micro-needling, micro-needling, and micro needling facial treatments are often used to close open pores, remove fine wrinkles and acne scars, increase luminosity, and generally rejuvenate the skin.

There are different variants of this type of facial treatment, but the normal is that the microneedles are introduced or promote the production of collagen in the skin.

It is usually a less invasive treatment, which requires the application of an expert but not the passage through the operating room, and is less painful.

It is another alternative for those seeking a rejuvenating facial treatment.

Vampire facial, PRP, or plasma treatments.

Plasma or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial treatment is nicknamed vampire facial (vampire facial) because its main ingredient is blood, the blood of the person who wants to undergo it.

This beauty treatment stimulates the production of collagen in the face and, with it, the rejuvenation of the skin.

Whoever wants to undergo it must do so in a duly accredited professional center as it is an invasive treatment. And yes, it can hurt or, at the very least, be a little uncomfortable.

The plasma that is applied in a plasma facial treatment is obtained from the blood of the person who is to undergo the treatment.

That is, if you have a plasma facial treatment, they will use your own blood and, therefore, your own plasma

So, they take blood from the person who is going to undergo the treatment (as if they were going to have a blood test), centrifuge it to separate the platelets from other elements, take the plasma from them and inject it into the person in question in the face, neck or décolleté.

Famous celebrities such as Spanish influencer Gala Gonzalez or the outlandish celebrity American Kim Kardashian have already had plasma facials and claim to be very satisfied with the results.

We're not going to kid you, with all the facial treatments out there, you'd be willing to go through this experience that seems anything but pleasant!
