What Causes Wrinkles - And What Can I Do About Them?

Wrinkles happen to all of us—it's a natural part of the aging process. As we age, the production of essential components needed to make our skin look and feel young slows down, particularly collagen and hyaluronic acid. These keep our skin hydrated and elastic, and once they start diminishing then fine lines start to appear, which turn into wrinkles, which then leads to looser skin.

This may be exacerbated by hereditary factors, or by lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking.

Most of us have a skincare routine at home, but eventually, creams and potions aren’t enough and this is when we start to look at what’s available in salons and beauty clinics – and there's certainly enough out there. 

Not all wrinkles are equal–and some methods only work for certain types. We’re often led to believe that the seemingly never-ending lines of wrinkle-busting treatments that keep appearing on the market are going to work wonders, but not all do. That's why it's important to know exactly how they work and what kinds of results you should expect.

What Kind of Wrinkle Treatments Are Available in Tijuana?

Wrinkle treatments are usually grouped into surgical and non-surgical treatments, and a whole array of options are available for both in Tijuana.

Surgical Wrinkle Treatments:

This, of course, covers the whole spectrum of plastic, cosmetic and aesthetic surgery procedures that can minimize or get rid of wrinkled, sagging skin on the body and includes body lifts, arm lifts, butt lifts, tummy tucks, thigh lifts and just about any sort of lift imaginable. Some of the most popular options available in Tijuana include:

• Facelifts (whole, upper or lower)
• Neck lifts
• Eye lifts (or double eyelid surgery)
• Facial liposuction

There is also facial rejuvenation treatment, which combines surgical and non-surgical treatments to give you tailor-made solutions.

Non-Surgical Wrinkle Treatments in Tijuana:

Non-surgical treatments are a growth area, with new techniques coming to market all the time, blurring the lines between surgery, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The vast majority of these treatments are aimed at facial wrinkles, although some are effective on other areas of the body, such as the décolletage, or the backs of hands. These also include different brands of dermal fillers. 

Non-surgical treatments include:

• Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion
• Chemical peels
• Dermal rolling
• Laser skin resurfacing
• Botox®
• Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm®
• Collagen-stimulating dermal fillers, such as Sculptra®

Why Have Wrinkle Treatments in Tijuana?

The main reason you might consider having wrinkle treatments in Tijuana is the cost. Certainly for surgical treatments, savings of around 60 - 70% will make the trip worthwhile. As surgery is an expensive option this can amount to thousands, depending on the nature of the surgery you have.

For non-surgical treatments are concerned, there are savings to be had, although these are more likely to be in the hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. Unless you are having a series of treatments, and live near Tijuana, or you are visiting the city and would like a quick pick-me-up, then it's probably not worth organizing a trip specifically for the non-surgical treatments if you want to save money.

With regard to the quality of the treatment you will receive, there are reputable doctors, hospitals and facilities for surgery in Tijuana, and it will be a case of choosing wisely. Likewise, for non-surgical treatments, you will find the same world-renowned brands available in Tijuana with specialist practitioners who have the necessary skills and expertise to administer them.
