Topical cures

There are many topical lotions and creams that will improve the fine wrinkles and can even help minimize the deeper wrinkles. Vitamin A acids are the most proven effective remedies available over the counter. The best results are achieved with a regular application of the creams that contain Vitamin A acids. The peeling process that this remedy produces will be unpleasant at first, but will subside when the peeling stops. A milder form of treatment would include the Alpha-hydroxy acids or fruit acids which are safe and contain glycolic and lactic acids that has a subtle affect on the wrinkles. Mild improvements of wrinkles can also be achieved with antioxidants. Antioxidants are usually dispensed with a cream, and contain vitamins A, C, and E as well as beta-carotene.

Plastic surgery

Dermabrasion is an option that can provide a more permanent solution to wrinkle reduction by using a rotating interment that will sand down the skin, and this process will stimulate new cell and collagen growth. While this treatment can produce excellent results, it can also can cause scars and skin discoloring. If you want to have a better success rate that deliver the results then consider laser resurfacing treatments. Laser interments are used to pass over the skin until the dermis, or second layer of skin is reached. Laser resurfacing works on the same principle of creating new cell and collagen growth, and may have to be repeated every 6 to 12 months. Plastic surgery or Botox treatments are other options to consider, although Botox treatments will have to be repeated to sustain the results and are more costly than other methods.

Bleaching agent's

You can use a Q-tip to apply bleaching agents such as hydroquinone to treat age spots locally. The enzyme that produces melanin or the brown pigment that appears on your skin is reduced by the hydroquinone. Dermabrasion or laser reductions are alternatives to the bleaching agents, and provide results that may last longer than hydroquinone. On the other hand, you will have to consider the risks that are involved.

Deeper wrinkles around eyes, can also be improved with various cosmetic treatments available to the public. Furthermore, age spot removal can also be addressed with the same treatments as wrinkles.
