Today there are many reports reminding us that sunscreen will help prevent wrinkles. “Stop smoking, eat healthy, exercise, get your vitamin A and E,” researchers tell us. However, the depleted ozone Layer, harmful UV rays and skin cancer weren’t always in the forefront of our imagination, and these beauty tips weren’t always stressed so fervently. As a result, many people in their thirties and forties are paying for past mistakes. The good news is that there are a number of products and procedures that can get rid of facial wrinkles.

The latest breakthroughs in the treatment of facial wrinkles include using human stem cells to trigger the body’s natural regeneration processes and emu oil, which can penetrate up to seven layers of skin to effectively repair cell damage, eradicate free radicals and stimulate collagen and elasticin production. Amatokin is the first product to harness the power of stem cells to create younger looking skin. Developers realized that human skin is the largest repository of stem cells in the body and created a line of wrinkle creams that instantly became a celebrity favorite. Dremu Skin Care products first picked up steam in Australia and have become a huge hit in America, thanks to numerous trade shows and celebrity endorsements by notable figures like supermodel Tyra Banks and actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.

For more persistent wrinkles and telltale signs of aging, there are collagen fillers done via injection. This relatively inexpensive procedure will cost an average of $300, but generally needs to be redone two or three times per year to maintain maximum efficiency. In some cases, the collagen stimulates the body’s natural processes and less maintenance is required. Doctors use either bovine-based or human-based collagen that has undergone a purification process. The anesthesia Lidocaine is mixed in with the collagen so patients don’t feel a thing. After 30 to 60 minutes, the procedure is done and the patient is free to go. Results show up once the swelling goes down. Cosmetic surgery is not covered under health insurance plans, but most surgeons offer financing plans for any budget. Compared to Botox injections, collagen is more flexible and is said to be much more natural looking.

Each year, Americans purchase over $6.4 Billion worth of “cosmeceuticals” and creams targeting facial wrinkles. Whether prescribed or purchased over-the-counter, this non-invasive option appeals to many consumers who’d rather not be bothered with medical procedures. In addition to anti wrinkle creams and injections, cryotherapy, or freezing, and microdermabrasion treatments, which involves scraping off the top layer of the skin, may be performed. After any process, though, it is important to stock up on sunscreen and avoid further skin damage from the sun.

In these image-conscious times it’s not surprising that men are fast catching up to women in terms of putting time and effort into their appearance. The male grooming industry has increased by 800 per cent in the last seven years and men are a lot less afraid of admitting that they use cosmetics regularly.

Considering these recent changes in a lot of men’s attitudes to their looks, it shouldn’t really be surprising that things are now moving to the next level. Men are not only using more beauty products and spending a lot more time and money on their looks but more and more men are choosing to take the quick route to looking younger and opting for Botox.

This trend for ‘boytox’ first started in America but is now catching on in the UK too as more and more men decide that they just don’t want to wait for all the lotions and potions to take effect when there is an instantaneous solution available. The only problem is, Botox is actually a poisonous substance. It literally freezes the muscles in your face still, so you really couldn’t move them even if you wanted to. Sure it gets rid of any wrinkles on your forehead but it means you can’t frown. Or raise your eyebrows. Or really show any sort of expression at all. Basically, after a few treatments you end up looking like one of those creepy dolls that ventriloquists use.

It might be the quickest way to lose the wrinkles and look younger, but surely a preferable method would just be to treat your skin properly and look after yourself, so that you can look your best without having to inject poison into your face. Sure, the recent surge in men wanting to look good might leave many looking for a quick solution but there are other, much easier ways. The increase in sales of male grooming products means there is more choice than ever, with brands like Lab Series and Dermalogica making all sorts of creams and moisturisers to help smooth out skin and leave you looking younger. Kiehls also do a big range of facial creams for eyes and wrinkles that are an alternative, much less dangerous way to look younger.
