There are many treatments and are offered by some spas, dermatologists and plastic surgeons. It is better to go to a physician to a spa because there are more qualified personnel. But the spas often have more modern equipment than some doctors. Treatments include:
1 – Photo-facials. Lower laser intensity used
2 – Laser treatments of various types including Fraxel and Titan.
3 – Thermage
4 – Light therapy and micro currents
5 – Transplantation of stem cells from the patient’s body fat. This involves a small liposuction to remove fat. Stem cells help to promote the formation of more fat cells and this gives volume and firmness to the face. It is one of the most promising treatments but still not very common.

6 – Face Lift. Only recommended when there is much extra skin and wrinkles.
7 – Professional Peels
8 – Using injections of wrinkle filler
