For people who want a wrinkle treatment that requires less frequent attention, there is the option of injections and facial peels to achieve a more youthful appearance. Botox® and collagen injections can help smooth the skin and minimize the appearance of the wrinkles. Procedures of this type are relatively painless, although there is some chance of infection. The results will often last for up to several months before they must be repeated.

The facial peel is a wrinkle treatment that involves applying chemicals to skin in an effort to not only smooth wrinkles but also to fade age spots. The peel expedites the shedding of the top layer of the epidermis, exposing the fresher skin underneath. This procedure can also produce pleasing results, and may only be required once or twice a year to maintain a youthful appearance.

Many people find that a topical wrinkle treatment provides acceptable results, if they continue to use the product over time. An over the counter wrinkle cream is likely to require use on daily basis, or at least three to four times a week in order to maintain the results. While a relatively inexpensive form of wrinkle treatment, this approach can only produce limited results. People sometimes tire of the routine of using the cream and begin to look for other alternatives to eliminating wrinkles.
