What Are the Latest Wrinkle Treatment Innovations for Younger-Looking Skin?
Advancements in the cosmetic industry have led to the development of more powerful and effective skincare treatments designed for wrinkle reduction. These wrinkle treatment innovations allow us to safely and effectively smooth even severe lines and wrinkles, and patients won’t need to undergo cosmetic surgery to achieve their desired results.
From injections with neurotoxins and dermal fillers to PRP and PRF facial rejuvenation treatments and more, we have all the latest wrinkle treatment options that will restore youthful skin and improve your skin health in the process.
Microcurrent Skin Rejuvenation
Microcurrent skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical wrinkle treatment that’s been growing in popularity because it can significantly improve skin texture and skin health without requiring patients to endure discomfort or undergo a surgical procedure. Microcurrent therapy re-educates the facial muscles using microcurrent waves, a form of electricity that mimics the body’s natural electric currents. Microcurrent technology retrains facial muscles, causing them to relax, which results in the natural smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles.
It also stimulates collagen and elastin production at the cellular level, encourages new skin cell production, increases circulation, and brightens skin. The treatment improves skin hydration, lifts and tightens the skin, and reverses skin laxity. We customize treatment plans to address facial and body wrinkles, including wrinkles on the front of the legs, the arms, the abdominal area, and the decollete.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a treatment known as collagen induction therapy that works by forcing the body to produce more collagen at the treatment site. The device has tiny, thin needles that stamp microchannels, or perforations, into the skin. As the device creates these micro-injuries, the body responds with a series of healing reactions. The treatment process is virtually painless, and the micro-injuries are nearly invisible.
Still, your body recognizes them as injuries and cleanses the area with an immune response, followed by reparative and restorative processes. Your body will create more collagen in the treatment area, which results in tighter and firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, and improved skin health. Advancements in microneedling have allowed us to customize treatments to meet the needs of patients with acne scars, visible lines and wrinkles, and other aging-related and cosmetic skin concerns.
PRP/PRF Facial Rejuvenation
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, and PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin; both are derived from each patient’s blood and contain isolated growth factors that can be re-injected into the skin to reverse the aging process. PRP rejuvenates the skin and forces the body to produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
PRF also increases collagen production, but it has the added benefit of forcing the body to generate new skin cells and blood vessels at the injection site. PRP works immediately, and PRF works gradually to treat the most common aging-related concerns.
What It Treats and How It Works
PRP injections can visibly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and have additional benefits of brightening a dull complexion, promoting a more even skin tone and texture, reducing the appearance of acne scars, and treating dark circles or puffiness beneath the eyes. The treatment is non-surgical and minimally invasive.
We begin the process by taking a blood sample and putting it in a centrifuge to isolate the growth factors from the rest of the blood. Then, we prepare the PRP or the PRF in an injectable form and administer it to some strategic areas of the face. Results appear within the first few weeks of treatment and continue to improve over time as the body responds to the presence of the PRP and PRF in the skin and reacts accordingly.
Plasma Pen Fibroblast Therapy
The Plasma Pen is an innovative skincare treatment that stimulates the production of fibroblasts, cells of connective tissue known for producing type III collagen. Type III collagen gives the skin its structure and strength, and by stimulating an increase in this type of collagen, we can visibly improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles in different facial and body areas. During treatments, the Plasma Pen heats fibroblasts and converts its energy to deliver plasma gas to the treatment area.
The device never touches the skin; instead, the plasma creates tiny injuries on the skin’s surface. Patients can expect healing within four days and visible results within the first several weeks of treatment as the body responds by healing the treatment area and increasing collagen production. Patients can expect a visible improvement in lines and wrinkles after just one treatment and even better results after a series of treatments.
Cosmetic Injectables
Cosmetic injectables have only become more effective over the years, and when you visit MacMed Spa to undergo treatment, you’ll be treated by injectors who know the latest injection techniques and will ensure that your results look completely natural. We offer BOTOX injections and dermal fillers to address the different types of wrinkles that form on the upper, middle, and lower half of the face.
BOTOX treats dynamic wrinkles on the upper half of the face, including frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Dermal fillers treat wrinkles resulting from volume loss on the lower and middle half of the face, including marionette lines, nasolabial folds, smile lines, radial cheek lines, and more.
