Other Available Treatments for anti-wrinkle

• Botox (Injection)
• Chemical Skin Peel
• Glycolic Acid Peel
• Obagi Blue Peel
• Restylane (Injection)
• Hylaform (Injection)

All the above are various treatments for anti wrinkle, Botox leads to temporary weakening of muscles and the person may face little discomfort in certain expressions.

The peels like chemical and glycolic do not have the fast effect as compared to Collagen supplements, they are mostly applied locally on the surface and do not have stimulating effect like Collagen.

Restylane is though injected similarly yet it is different from collagen. The most vital difference is absence of animal protein in it. This overcomes the side effect of collagen where animal protein may lead to infection or allergy.

Overall all treatments have their own set of benefits and drawbacks but they are quite effective in reducing wrinkles and scars.
It is true that the treatments show substantial effects but their effects do not last permanently. Often the effect lasts for a period of few months about 6-8 months. After that the person has to go for a repeat cycle. These repeated treatments are safe and effective which makes them quite popular and they have been widely accepted as an alternate to surgical cures.
