Best BOTOX® Alternatives

Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to treat wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging… without BOTOX® and the pesky needles that come along with it? 

Our board-certified dermatologists are here to tell you that – yes! – there are exceptional BOTOX® alternatives that can certainly address age signs and improve your skin for a more youthful appearance. 

Take a look at our anti-aging recommendations below to get an idea of how to turn back the clock – without BOTOX®! 

We know the term “chemical peels” may sound scary, but rest assured that this cosmetic treatment is absolutely safe! (Especially when administered by a board-certified dermatologist who knows what they’re doing… such as the ones at Advanced Dermatology of North Central Ohio!) 

Not to mention, chemical peels are remarkable at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, smoothing out skin texture, improving skin tone, and revitalizing the skin for a more radiant, youthful complexion. 

 At Advanced Dermatology of North Central Ohio, we offer the following chemical peels that are exceptional at treating age signs, like wrinkles and fine lines: 

• Glycolic Acid 
• Trichloroacetic Acid 
• Retinol

Have you ever thought about smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines with a non-invasive laser treatment? Lasers in cosmetic dermatology have come such a long way and are an exceptional method of enhancing one’s overall appearance. 

At Advanced Dermatology of North Central Ohio, we use the Vbeam® Perfecta system as an IPL (pulsed-dye laser) facial treatment that improves everything from wrinkles and fine lines to spider veins and pigmentation issues. 

Even better, non-ablative lasers, such as the Vbeam® Perfecta, require little to no downtime. This means you can take advantage of quick and remarkable results and get back to living your life instead of sitting at home in recovery! 

In our professional opinion, topicals don’t get enough credit compared to other cosmetic treatments, such as peels, anti-aging injectables, or lasers! 

While they often don’t produce the most dramatic results, topical treatments – such as anti-aging creams and serums – can significantly improve the skin and enhance one’s natural beauty. 

For example, retinol is a popular anti-aging skin care ingredient that speeds cell turnover and boosts both collagen and elastin production for better skin tone and texture, reduced wrinkle formation, and a more youthful appearance. 

Additionally, other exceptional anti-aging skin care ingredients we recommend include: 

• Hyaluronic Acid — Amplifies skin moisture and provides intense, long-lasting hydration. 
• Peptides — Boosts collagen levels for softer, smoother skin and increased firmness. 
• Ceramides — Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin texture. 
• Vitamin E — Protects the skin from pollutants linked to aging and smoothes out lines.

However, if you don’t want to hunt down high-quality products yourself, we do offer a range of physician-prescribed skin care products that focus on turning back the clock and erasing fine lines and wrinkles to help our patients look and feel younger!
