11 Dec What anti-aging treatment do you need?
Anti-aging
antiaging
or anti-aging is a practice focused on restoring youth to the face and body and concealing the aging process through the reduction of spots and wrinkles, improving the quality of the skin by providing luminosity and elasticity and in some cases eliminating hair. This is a set of procedures that can be performed without surgery or by means of small surgical interventions.
Some factors that contribute to facial aging are genetics, stress, diet, acne, and of course smoking and solar ultraviolet radiation.
Among the most demanded anti-aging treatments and surgeries are anti-wrinkle treatments, lifting and eyelid surgery called “blepharoplasty“, according to the Spanish Society of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (SECPRE).
