Anti-Aging Skin Treatments You Can Receive In Your Dermatologist's Office

Everyone gets older, but your skin does not have to age as fast as the rest of you. If you want your face to look young and fresh without the need for a face-lift or other major surgery in your 50s or 60s, then you had better take good care of your skin. Wearing sunscreen, using a good-quality moisturizer, and eating healthfully will go a long way, but you should also look into some more in-depth anti-aging skin treatments that can be administered in your dermatologist's office. Here are a few of them to consider.

Cryotherapy Facials

You may have heard of cryotherapy, the treatment which involves exposing your body to freezing temperatures for a few minutes in order to increase blood flow and decrease inflammation. Thankfully, you can enjoy these benefits on your face without immersing your whole body in a cryotherapy chamber. A cryo facial, as it is often called, is administered with a small tool that is moved over the surface of your skin. A small portion of the skin is treated at a time so you won't have to deal with your whole face feeling cold at once. 

Cryotherapy facials work by reducing inflammation, which thereby reduces your skin's tendency to wrinkle. It also draws white blood cells into your capillaries at the surface of your skin, where they can better work to reduce the effects of bacteria and environmental contaminants. This, in turn, helps slow the aging process.

Bee Venom Facials

You probably don't think of bee venom as being a good thing. It certainly does not feel good when a bee injects it into your skin. But when bee venom is used as an ingredient in a specialized facial, it can have powerful anti-aging effects. The venom causes the skin to tighten, which minimizes the appearance of any existing fine lines and wrinkles. Undergo bee venom facials on a regular basis, and you should also notice fewer fine lines and wrinkles forming. 

Bee venom facials are safe for most people, but they're not a good idea for anyone who is allergic to bees. If you are not sure whether or not you're allergic to bees, your dermatologist will want to conduct a small test before giving you the full facial.

Vampire Facial

In spite of what the name of this procedure suggests, it is not surgical. It does, however, involve making some injections in your face — injections of your own blood. Your blood will be drawn from a vein in your arm, and then the plasma will be separated out from your blood. This plasma will be combined with certain enriching factors and then injected into your face in several locations. You will feel a prick and mild stinging when this goes on, but no serious pain.

A vampire facial helps add volume to your skin, and it also helps boost your skin's immune factors so that environmental contaminants don't have such an impact. The results last several months. The downside to vampire facials is that the process takes a few hours since you need to have blood drawn as a part of the process. They can also be expensive. However, for patients who are allergic to be venom and don't tolerate cold well, they can be a good option.

You can't live forever, but you can keep your skin looking younger forever. Add one of these unique treatments to your routine, and you should find that wrinkles and other signs of aging diminish. If you would like more details, contact a dermatologist in your area. They can also give you an estimate.
