Wrinkles are inevitable as we age. They can develop on our Skin due to age, exposure to UV light, smoking, repeated facial gestures, etc. Fortunately, there are many ways to deal with wrinkles, either using some advanced equipment or natural products in our life. In this post, we will introduce both skin treatments we offer at Body Sculpting Regina and some natural ways for wrinkle reduction.

First, let’s take a look at some skin treatments we offer that may help you.

Venus Legacy

Venus Legacy is a cutting-edge system that is painless, non-invasive and gives lasting results. It uses heat to naturally boost collagen production and break down fat cells, which tightens sagging skin and reduces wrinkles, leaving you with smoother, younger-looking skin.

Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual and the treated area. Treatments are done once a week.

Botox and Dermal Fillers

Botox and Dermal Fillers are two injectables that have guaranteed results for facial wrinkle reduction.

Botox works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected to temporarily paralyze or freeze the affected muscles. Without movement of these selected muscles in the face, certain wrinkles can be softened, reduced, or even removed.

Dermal fillers are substances designed to be injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness. The key difference between Botox and Dermal Fillers is that Botox freezes muscles while Dermal Fillers plump areas that have lost volume and smoothness.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. The treatment peels away the top layer of skin and improves sun-damaged, uneven pigmentation and wrinkles. The peels work by removing dead skin cells and stimulating the recovery process in the skin. The healing process itself stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin which significantly improves the appearance of aging skin.

Microneedling

Microneedling is one of the latest cosmetic treatments for your skin by reversing the signs of aging and at the same time, it is very simple, effective and non-invasive. Micro-injuries created by microneedles stimulates the body’s natural wound healing process, resulting in cell turnover. It encourages and harnesses the power of the body’s ability to grow and repair itself naturally.  

Apart from the above clinical options, you may still wonder some natural ways to reduce wrinkles. Well, here are some tips for you.

Keep your skin moist

You can keep your skin moist from both inside and outside.

The best way to tackle it from inside is to drink plenty of water. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day and make sure you continue to sip throughout the day. This can flush toxins out of your body and plum up your skin which will temporarily fill wrinkled areas. To remind yourself of drinking, always keep a cup at your desk and carry a bottle with you.

For the outside work, you can moisturize your skin in many ways.

You can apply a few drops of a natural oil to the concerned areas twice a day. This can help maintain moisture and plump up your skin, resulting in the reduction of wrinkles. Some natural oils you can choose from include olive oil, hemp oil, rose oil, and coconut oil.

Also, you can combine a few drops of essential oils with your moisturizing oil to improve the result. Essential oils containing ingredients such as lavender, thyme, basil, chamomile, and cinnamon have a high concentration of antioxidants that can slow the signs of aging. But always remember to dilute the essential oils with a carrier oil.

Moreover, do not forget some foods like eggs, avocados, cucumbers, and lemons. You can infuse your skin with vitamins and nutrients in them by making a face mask yourself.

Eat the right foods

A proper diet is essential for a good skin condition. To reduce wrinkles, you should eat foods rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and E, and Omega-3s. They can build collagen, increase the skin’s elasticity, and help the skin become more resistant to sun damage. Berries, spinach, kale, broccoli, tomatoes, beans, walnuts, avocados, and salmon are all good choices.

Get more sleep

While sleeping, our bodies produce human growth hormone which increases cell reproduction and turnover. When we sleep too little, our bodies produce cortisol, a stress hormone that undoes the good that human growth hormone does and slows cell repair and tissue maintenance. As a result, the skin becomes dry and dull. Therefore, a sound night’s sleep should be your priority so that your body can take time to repair and nurture itself.

Do not smoke

Smoke is a bad thing. Not only it causes serious diseases such as cancer, smoking also causes wrinkles to line your skin. It speeds up the natural aging process by changing the circulation of blood to your skin and results in wrinkles. As we mentioned in 5 Anti-Aging Tips to Help You Look Younger, smokers look 1.4 years older than nonsmokers on average. Quitting smoking or even decreasing how much you smoke a day may slow down the aging process and prevent further wrinkles.

Here are 8 internal and external ways to reduce wrinkles. Your skin deserves the best care you can give and start some of the tips today!
