Can Topically Applied Anti-Aging Creams Get the Same Results as Wrinkle Fillers such As Restylane, Botox, Artecoll etc.
Anti-aging creams promise the same results as the cosmetic fillers, but can they really perform at the same rate? A lot of us feel skepticism when we read the labels on those jars of creams and then view the photographic results of the cosmetic fillers.
Scientific testing is difficult to do with anti-aging creams because we all age at different rates. Environmental factors such as sun damage, pollution, diet, stress, smoking, alcohol, skincare regimes, and even racial origin all play a factor in individual aging. These very factors make it very difficult to methodically and scientifically test anti-aging products. The questions remain: how much to use, how often to apply and how long the creams need to be used to produce significant results?
