Wrinkles Removal
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but advances in cosmetic medicine have developed various techniques to minimize their appearance. Wrinkle removal refers to a range of procedures designed to reduce fine lines, deep creases, and sagging skin to achieve a youthful, rejuvenated look. With many options available, understanding the right procedure is crucial for optimal results.
The two main categories of wrinkle removal procedures are non-invasive and minimally invasive. Non-invasive methods include treatments like laser therapy, chemical peels, and dermabrasion, which work on the skin’s surface to smooth and tighten. These approaches generally have minimal downtime and are often used for fine lines and superficial wrinkles. Minimally invasive procedures, on the other hand, include injectable fillers, botulinum toxin (Botox), and radiofrequency treatments. These methods penetrate deeper into the skin to address moderate to deep wrinkles and can also stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting effects.
Advanced techniques such as microneedling with radiofrequency, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and plasma therapy are gaining popularity for their ability to deliver more dramatic results with minimal recovery time. These procedures are often customized to the patient's skin type, age, and specific needs, offering tailored approaches to rejuvenation.
Procedure Duration
The duration of wrinkle removal procedures can vary significantly based on the type of treatment chosen. Non-invasive treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels typically last between 30 minutes to an hour per session. Patients often require multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The downtime for these treatments is generally minimal, with most individuals resuming normal activities immediately or within a few days.
Minimally invasive procedures like fillers and Botox injections are quick—often referred to as "lunchtime procedures." They can be performed in 15 to 30 minutes, with results becoming apparent within a few days. Recovery time is minimal, though some mild swelling or bruising may occur. Repeat sessions are usually required every few months to maintain the results, particularly for injectables like Botox.
For advanced procedures such as microneedling with radiofrequency or HIFU, treatment sessions last between 60 to 90 minutes. The results are often visible within weeks and can continue to improve over time as collagen production is stimulated. These procedures may require only one or two sessions per year, making them a popular option for those seeking longer-lasting outcomes with less frequent maintenance.

Cities like Tijuana, Cancun, and Mexico City have clinics offering a variety of wrinkle removal options, performed by skilled doctors who often speak English and have international training.
Risks & Considerations
While wrinkle removal procedures are generally safe, they come with some risks and considerations:
- Infection: Any procedure that breaks the skin, such as injectables or microneedling, can introduce bacteria and lead to infection if not properly sterilized.
- Allergic Reactions: Some patients may react to fillers or the topical solutions used in treatments like chemical peels. A patch test is recommended before undergoing the full procedure.
- Uneven Results: If not done by a skilled practitioner, treatments like laser therapy or fillers can result in uneven skin texture or asymmetry.
- Scarring and Pigmentation: Aggressive treatments or those performed on sensitive skin can sometimes lead to scarring or changes in skin pigmentation, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones.
- Maintenance and Follow-Up Treatments: Most wrinkle removal treatments require ongoing maintenance sessions, which need to be considered for cost and time factors.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting the right doctor and hospital is crucial for achieving safe and satisfying results in wrinkle removal treatments. Start by researching the qualifications of the practitioners. Look for certified dermatologists or cosmetic surgeons with specialized training in the procedure you are considering. Ensure that the clinic or hospital maintains high standards of hygiene, has modern equipment, and follows international protocols for patient safety.
It is also advisable to schedule a consultation prior to the procedure to discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations. A reputable doctor will provide a thorough evaluation, clearly explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected results, and offer before-and-after photos of past patients to showcase their work. Additionally, seek out reviews and testimonials from previous patients to gauge the clinic’s reputation and the doctor's expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
