Some of us age more gracefully than others. Getting old often comes along with changes in appearance, health problems, and other related issues. One of the most common changes that occur with age is the development of under eye bags and wrinkles. It is important to note that age alone does not cause bags, loose skin and wrinkles the sun and UV rays play a role in wrinkle development as well.
As young adults you are not likely to notice the effects of the environment on your skin. Looking around you are likely to notice older people who look like younger people and vice versa. This is because everyone ages and reacts differently to exposure.
Stop stressing over wrinkles
The modern world is rich with innovation and medical advancements. This means that regardless of what a person might be ailing from, it may be possible to receive a specialized treatment to either cure or relieve the signs and symptoms.
That being said, if you are plagued by eye wrinkles or crows feet, there are treatment options available to you. It is important, however, that you carefully select a treatment that meets your needs and your budget. You will need to decide whether you want to try the latest beauty creams, makeup techniques or if you need to speak with a surgeon.
The following information may help you in making an informed decision.
1. Wrinkles, bags and other under-eye ailments can now easily be treated with a variety of non-invasive injections like Juvederm, Restylane Silk (available in Chicago). Botox or other dermal fillers designed to last six months or longer.
2. Lasers like Fraxal or Silk Touch have been proven useful in removing wrinkles and lines. However, this type of treatment should come only after consultation with a dermatologist or board approved surgeon and can depend greatly on the patients skin type and age.
3. Studies have indicated that over the counter products like Vitamin C, Alphahydroxy or Copper may help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Regardless of what treatment option you choose to go with, it is important to weigh the risks and the benefits. Some procedures are more invasive than others and can take a toll on your body if not done properly by a person who is well trained and knows what they are doing.
