6 Anti-Aging Treatments

Anti-Aging Treatments
 
Anti-aging cosmetics, plastic surgery and dermatological procedures are popular among Americans. Anti-aging treatments have grown to a $261Anti Aging Treatments billion dollar industry as of 2013. This is partly due to the many new technologies and procedures available to patients. Here are six common anti-aging treatments that patients ask Dr. Robert K. Dyer about when they visit his East Greenwich, RI dermatologist office.

Botox
Botox (short for Botulinum toxin) is a treatment that helps to smooth out the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the skin. The doctor administers a series of strategic injections of a drug created by a type of bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum that relaxes the muscles, providing a wrinkle-free appearance for up to 12 months. Botox is also used to prevent excessive sweating.

Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a treatment offered by East Greenwich, RI dermatologist Dr. Dyer that speeds up the process of removing old, dead skin. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that lifts the dead skin and allows the doctor to peel it off, revealing a fresh, younger looking face.

Fillers
When the skin becomes flabby and saggy due to the loss of fat in certain areas, a dermal filler is the treatment of choice. As the name suggests, it fills in the contours and creases of the skin (usually the face and hands) to give it a more youthful appearance.

Retinoids
Retinoids are a topical treatment prescribed by a dermatologist to treat acne, wrinkles, spots and other skin conditions. It’s applied once a day or several times per week to help improve the appearance of the skin.
