You may recognize the names of some of these anti aging skin care treatments, but your curious to know more about them than that! Here are some anti aging treatments, their benefits, risks if any, and average cost. Once you know more about each one, you will know which one is right for you!

FX procedure. You're older and your skin doesn't feel as tight as it once was. FX is a anti aging treatment which involves focusing a small beam of light into the dermis which is the source of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin's metabolism will speed up which produces tighter skin. The skin will continue to look smoother and tighter in more time. One of the benefits to this anti aging treatment is it only needs to be done once! Unlike botox, it's permanent. The only exception is skin types with irregular surfaces may require more treatments. Plastic surgery means days and days of staying in your house unless you want everyone to ask who beat you up! (Swelling is a common expectation of surgery.) The swelling from FX is very minimal and you can start wearing make up again in a few days. Here is an added bonus: Not only does FX tighten skin, it also minimizes age spots. So instead of having two separate treatments done: one to tighten your skin and one to take away those irritating age spots, this anti aging treatment accomplishes both! Botox only lasts a short while; your wrinkles slowly reappear over time. In comparison, your skin continues to improve after an FX treatment. It's almost as if your body is young again because tighter collagen and elastin continue to generate as a result of FX. Imagine looking better with time instead of worse! It's possible after FX. Your skin will improve two months after FX, and improve even more a month later. The cost is much more affordable than plastic surgery; one third the price to be exact. FX means no scars, no long recovery time, no enormous debt and no complications from surgery.

Dermal fillers. Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and Radiesse are all considered dermal fillers. They replace the volume age has taken from you. These fillers can be injected anywhere from into the cheeks and the lower face, the mouth, under eyes, forehead, and lip area. Although no one filler is ideal for all facial areas. For the best liquid face lift, find out which dermal filler is recommended for each individual target area. Dermal fillers make the skin appear lifted, and look less saggy. These anti aging treatments are unfortunately not permanent. In order to keep your wrinkles away and keep the tight skin you love, you would need a repeat procedure every 6-12 months. Dermal fillers have a rare risk for hypersensitivity. One downfall is they are made of bacteria. You should only consider dermal fillers as a anti aging skin care procedure if you are healthy and without disease. Once you have the procedure done, consider taking probiotics and eating yogurt to balance out the new bacteria in your body. Side effects are not common but if they do occur can include reactivating an existing herpes infection, bruising, redness or swelling at the site of the injection, and in very rare cases, vascular occlusion and ulceration. The typical cost of a dermal filler is four hundred dollars.

Thermage. Thermage is a relatively new anti aging treatment. Thermage tightens skin by using radiofrequency. It gives you a small lift by directly tightening your collagen. The good part is just one Thermage treatment should last one to three years! The average cost of Thermage is two thousand dollars.
