What Can Anti-Aging Physicians Do for You?

Medical physicians do more today than treat sick patients. Dermatologists now offer trendy new treatments for both men and women so that you can have younger looking skin. Anti-aging physicians can help you to obtain and keep the beautiful, youthful look. Most people will fund that a counsultation with a doctor to be worth it. I will provide some info on the more popular treatments which are available.

Injections are becomng more common. Botox and Restylane are the two most widely used injectable treatments. While they are similar in administration and both cost between $300 and $500 per session, they are a bit different. Botox is used to paralyze nerve endings which cause wrinkling of the skin. After a Botox session, you cannot wrinkle the area, no matter how hard you try. Many people don't care for this side effect, while others aren't bothered by it. Restylane, on the other hand, is a clear gel that is injected into wrinkled areas to plump them up and smooth them out. Restylane can also be injected into the lips for a fuller look.

Chemical peels are another common treatment available. These peels use caustic ingredients to basically burn through skin and reveal fresh, young skin. They must be applied by a professional as mistakes can lead to serious burns and permanent scarring. Depending on the strength of the peel, you can expect recovery time to last from days to weeks. There are light peels known as lunchtime peels, which require little to no recovery. Following a chemical peel, it is very important to avoid sun exposure. Sun exposure during recovery time can cause brown spotting of the skin, which is exactly the kind of thing you want to avoid.

Anti-aging physicians can also prescribe creams. Glycolic creams are quite popular, as is retinol creams such as Retin-A. Retin-A is unique in that it is often prescribed for both wrinkles and acne, which makes it ideal for women suffering with both of these problems. You may find that there is an adjustment period when you first start using Retin-A, but after an initial period of sensitivity and inflammation you can expect clearer, more beautiful, more youthful looking skin. If you're ready to look younger and more vibrant, the answer is likely as close as your dermatologists' office.
