As we age, our skin produces less collagen, an essential element in keeping the elasticity of our skin. As the collagen production slows or even halts to a stop, the skin begins to droop, forming visible lines and wrinkles. Wrinkles can occur around the eyes (crow's feet), around the cheeks (laugh lines) and on the forehead (frown lines).

Wrinkles are also a result of repetitive motion. People who raise their eyebrows a lot are prone to frown lines, whereas those who smoke are apt to get wrinkles around the mouth. A good skincare and wrinkle prevention program can help keep time at bay for a while, but inevitably, the wrinkles will appear.

When they do, you have a few treatment options. The first is to search for anti-wrinkle creams and topical treatments that can help boost collagen. Youth Serum by Skin Spa Therapies is one of these products. Using a secret blend of natural ingredients, Youth Serum strives to reduce the appearance of lines through increased collagen production and oxygenation.

For those looking for an immediate fix, plastic surgery and non-invasive procedures such as Botox have become popular alternatives to anti-wrinkle creams. Botox requires a set of injections in the wrinkled area. The chemical essential engorges the skin to fill in the wrinkles. Please note: Botox is only a temporary solution. Without additional injections every few months, the skin will fall back to its original position. For those seeking more permanent results, face lifts have also grown in popularity. In 2004, there were 114,000 face lift procedures performed in the U.S. alone. If you would like to avoid these invasive and expensive measures, explore the offerings of Skin Spa Therapies today.
