Wrinkles are definitive marks that start appearing in people´s faces in their mid life, and can be very damaging to person´s self esteem and self confidence, but there are several wrinkle treatment options out there that can give different levels of success and can help people prevent or fight their wrinkles.

The best treatment for wrinkles is to prevent them, this can be achieved applying skin moisturizers consistently (one of the main reasons wrinkles appear is due to lack of water in the skin or skin dehydration) look for one that is not too agressive and doesn´t give a burn sensation in the skin and that is not too oily or that can cause pimples or zits.

Another important wrinkle treatment, in the preventive manner is to always use sun screen, sun light is another of the main reasons wrinkles appear, so it is logical that the first wrinkle treatment is to get a good sunscreen and use it everyday, specially when you are going to be exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Anti aging (ar antiaging) creams are the most common treatment for wrinkles, they are sold everywhere and they normally contain retinoids, vitamins, and alpha hydroxy acids.

Depending on the type of wrinkle, there are more serious treatments that can be used, including peeling (it can be chemical or mechanical) using medicines or pills, or by laser or microdermabrasion wrinkle treatment, or laser wrinkle treatments normally using carbon dioxide, also called laser resurfacing.

There are other options as well, that can go from injections (botox or collagen) as well as plastic surgery, facelifts and even skin implants from other parts of your body, but all these more serious treatments should be first consulted with your dermathologist or plastic surgeon, so you both can decide what is the best treatment for your wrinkles.
