The fear of needles is fairly common. And for many men and women, it might make the idea of getting neurotoxins or other injectables a non-starter. So what should you do if you have a fear of needles but are interested in anti-aging skin treatments? Luckily, there are many other treatments that can help patients decrease the visibility of lines and wrinkles, as well as help improve the overall smoothness and glow of the skin. In this article, we will cover a few of the best skin treatments you can get if you want to avoid needles.
Chemical Peels
As the name suggests, a chemical peel is a treatment that involves placing a chemical formula on the skin which is later peeled off. Compared to other face masks or other peels, chemical peels are unique because of the chemicals they use. For example, many peels use TCA or Trichloroacetic acid as one of the main ingredients. It should be noted, that if your reservations extend beyond needles to discomfort in general, you should talk to your dermatologist about peels in advance. While there are varying degrees of chemical peels, most of them will increase the sensitivity of your skin afterward.
PRX Derm Perfexion
This Italian treatment is one of the best options for a patient who might be a bit nervous about skin sensitivity or discomfort during their skin treatment. PRX Derm Perfexion uses similar ingredients to a chemical peel but without the peeling. Instead, the patented formula activates deep in the skin. This leads to less downtime and makes it a perfect treatment for anyone who might be a first-timer when it comes to minimally invasive skin treatments. Moreover, this treatment is designed for all skin types and tones and can be used anytime during the year.
Laser Treatments
Again, if your main goal is to avoid needles and injections, you might feel more comfortable with a laser treatment. There are a variety of laser skin treatments that help resurface the skin. That said, if you are looking for a first-time skin treatment you should talk to your dermatologist first about what to expect with laser treatments. Depending on the type of laser and the treatment area you might need to follow careful post-care instructions and have some downtime.
At-Home Topical Products
Every dermatologist and skin treatment provider recommends having a healthy ongoing skincare regimen. There are a variety of great moisturizing products and creams that can complement in-office skin treatments. For example, many patients who receive treatments like PRX Derm Perfexion use products like our moisturizing face cream afterward.
