Anti-Aging Treatment Timeline: How Long Will My Treatment Last?

The two most popular questions with any treatment... How long until I see the result? How long will it last?

 

Well.. it depends.  Few offer immediate results, but many anti-aging services offer lasting improvement to the face and body long after you finish your first treatment. Depending on the nature of your skin and the treatment option you select, you may see continued benefits for a few months to a year. The following offers a look at how three of the most popular anti-aging treatments can provide a lasting result.

• Botox

The key to Botox’s success is its ability to numb the facial nerves that signal muscles to contract and cause wrinkles. Those who receive this treatment know firsthand how quickly Botox can take effect -- on average 24 hours with use of Zytaze, or about a week without. This minimally invasive procedure continues to reduce lines and wrinkles for approximately 4 months for most patients.

• Juvederm

Individuals with severe wrinkles or facial folds may opt for Juvederm or other dermal fillers. Juvederm counteracts the effects of sagging skin by reintroducing hyaluronic acid into the tissue. Hyaluronic acid is the substance largely responsible for skin volume. Once injected into the area suffering from lost density, Juvederm can improve the look of wrinkles for approximately 12 months.  You see the results immediately after treatment, but some people have bruising that may last a few days.

• Skin Tightening

Unlike cosmetic injectables, skin tightening enhances the skin using only heat. This heat energy can produce remarkable results by stimulating the collagen that creates toned and youthful skin. Some individuals may witness immediate improvement to their skin upon the completion of their first skin tightening session, some can take up to two weeks. Heat energy causes residual collagen regeneration after treatment, allowing patents to enjoy the results of their procedure for months at a time.  Most patients require a series to see the best result.
