Treatment for Wrinkles in Chino Hills, CA
There are several methods for treating wrinkles, including those listed below. If you’re uncertain of which option is best for you, Dr. Sandhu and Dr. Pham at Sand Dermatology are happy to answer any questions and help you make the best choice.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a process during which the surface of the skin is sanded down to remove damaged and dead skin cells. Once removed, new, fresh, and healthier skin cells grow.
Chemical Peels
With a chemical peel, an exfoliating acid is applied to the skin that safely eats away the top layer of skin. As the top layer is removed, it makes way for new, healthier skin cells to grow. These peels can be used for fine lines and wrinkles, acne, scarring, and more.
Most peels only reach the top layer of skin or the epidermis. However, some will reach down to the dermis or the under layer of the skin.
Dermal Fillers
You can also choose dermal fillers to address unwanted wrinkles. The process involves injecting hyaluronic acid, fat, and collagen into the wrinkled areas. This helps to smooth out the hollowed areas, providing a more youthful appearance.
Botox
Botox or botulinum toxin is often used to address deep wrinkles. It is a muscle relaxer that prevents muscle contractions that cause wrinkles to form. The results of Botox usually last a few months, but you will need additional treatments to maintain them.
At-Home Care
While these treatment options can provide great results, it’s important that you take care of your skin regularly to help minimize and prevent wrinkles. Some important steps include the following:
- Wash your face every night: Your skin is exposed to many harsh elements throughout the day. Washing your face before bed can help remove any harmful substances, help remove dead skin cells, and stimulate new cell growth.
- Moisturize: While moisturizing will not prevent all wrinkles from forming, it helps keep your skin hydrated and healthy. The healthier the skin, the less noticeable any wrinkles.
- Massage your skin: A quick massage can help promote the flow of blood, oxygen, and collagen to the skin.
- Wear sunscreen: UV rays can damage skin and speed up the signs of aging. Wearing sunscreen any time you plan to be outside can help prevent accelerated aging.
