For particularly effective anti-aging, many people turn to professional treatments at the dermatologist. Whether Botox, fillers or laser therapy - we present the best dermatological methods for a firm, wrinkle-free and youthfully fresh appearance.
Key Takeaways
- Professional anti-aging treatments can effectively reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin
- Botox relaxes mimic wrinkles, fillers plump up volume loss
- Laser treatments stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture
- For optimal results, multiple sessions and regular touch-ups are usually necessary
Botox for Mimic Wrinkles
Botox (botulinum toxin) is a protein that inhibits nerve impulses to the muscles. When injected into mimically active muscles, it relaxes them and thus smoothes the overlying skin. Botox is particularly effective for frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow's feet.
The treatment itself takes only a few minutes and is hardly painful. The effect sets in after 2-3 days and lasts about 3-6 months. For a long-term result, regular refresher treatments are necessary.
Important: Botox should only be administered by experienced physicians to avoid unnatural results or side effects. Talk to your doctor in detail about your wishes and expectations beforehand.
Fillers for More Volume and Firmness
Fillers (also: dermal fillers) are gel-like substances that are injected into the skin to plump up wrinkles, compensate for lost volume and shape the facial profile. The most commonly used fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, an endogenous sugar molecule that binds moisture and thus provides firmness and elasticity.
Almost all facial areas can be treated with fillers, from the nasolabial folds to the cheeks to the lips. The results are immediately visible and last 6-12 months, depending on the substance and injection depth. Here, too, regular treatments are necessary for a long-term effect.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are considered well tolerated and completely degradable. Nevertheless, they should only be administered by qualified physicians to avoid complications such as irregularities or inflammations.
Laser Therapies for Skin Renewal and Tightening
Laser treatments use high-energy light to specifically heat the skin and thus stimulate regeneration processes. Depending on the laser type, they can reduce wrinkles, boost collagen production, lighten pigment spots or refine skin texture.
Fractionated lasers such as the CO2 laser or the Erbium:YAG laser are particularly effective. They create microscopically small injuries in the skin that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother and more even skin.
After the treatment, the skin is usually reddened and may peel - this regeneration phase lasts a few days to weeks depending on the laser type and intensity. For optimal results, several sessions at intervals of 4-6 weeks are recommended.
Although lasers carry minimal risks, they are generally considered very safe and effective. The right choice of laser type and the expertise of the treating physician are crucial.
How to Find the Right Dermatologist
To find the right dermatologist for your anti-aging treatment, you should pay attention to the following:
- Qualification: Choose an experienced specialist in dermatology with a specialization in aesthetic treatments.
- Experience: Ask about the number of treatments performed and have before-and-after pictures shown to you.
- Consultation: Look for a detailed consultation in which your individual wishes and needs are addressed.
- Trust: Decide on a doctor with whom you feel comfortable and whom you trust. </ul
Don't hesitate to consult several doctors and get second opinions. Rating portals or personal recommendations from friends or family are also good starting points.
The Best Products for Post-Treatment Care
To optimally support and maintain the results of your anti-aging treatment in the long term, proper care at home is crucial. Your dermatologist will recommend special products for the post-operative phase that promote regeneration and soothe the skin.
For long-term care, serums and creams with anti-aging active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C or peptides are suitable. The NUVASKIN™ AgeDefy - Activating Serum is an effective all-rounder with retinol, coenzyme Q10 and peptides that reduces wrinkles, firms the skin and stimulates regeneration.
Consistent sun protection with a high sun protection factor is also indispensable to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation and premature skin aging. We recommend our Water Locking Moisturizing Sunscreen with SPF 45.
