Guide to Best Treatment for Wrinkles and Anti-aging Creams

We need to look at the necessary ingredients that should be present in a good quality anti-aging cream. An essential element that should be present in the cream is the vitamin A compound popularly known as retinol; coenzyme Q10 should also be present in the cream. The coenzymes reduce fine lines and wrinkles by regulating the energy at cellular level.

You should also search for copper peptides in the cream, they combine with proteins to simulate the production of collagen. Also another essential thing that you should be concerned of is the allergies. Some people are allergic to hydroxyl acids. The hydroxyl acids present in the cream act as exfoliating agents. Exfoliating is an essential phenomenon of the skin, this process removes the dead skin and encourages the growth of new skin cells.

They are also termed as ‘fruit acids’, they include active ingredients like glycolic and lactic acid. Medicine preparations containing these fruit acids are very safe. This is an effective alternative to people prone to allergies and causes very little or no skin irritation at all. However, results are not as fast as desired and the usage has to be for a comparatively longer duration.

Although this form of treatment involves hands-on application, these peels act superficially and can be really effective as temporary measures. Glycolic acid peels can only make slight differences in the intensity and degree of fine wrinkles.

These skin peels processes involve the use of chemical substances like salicylic acid and tri-chloroacetic acid that penetrates deeper into the skin. It is believed that the deeper the treatment penetrates into the skin, the more effective it gets in smoothing out the fine lines of wrinkles.

However, one must be cautioned - the deeper the peel, the greater risk of having side effects. Among the side effects – longer lasting pigment changes or changes in the color of the skin and scarring are common. These peels generally do not require anesthesia, however, patients can request for mild sedation to help ease short-term and painful discomfitures.
