As an anti aging expert there are many things about the wrinkle cream industry that are extremely frustrating. One of those things is the misunderstanding of how long it actually takes to eliminate a wrinkle. For clarification, we are not discussing instant results products that fade after just a few short hours, we are referring to actual wrinkle healing. With so many products out there promising complete results in short periods of time, it is no wonder why consumers have no idea the actual amount of time that it takes to completely heal a wrinkle.

Obviously, it should be stated that the level of damage to the skin and the severity of the wrinkle are going to play a major role in how long it takes to heal a wrinkle, however, no matter how mild the wrinkle is, it is going to take some time to completely erase the wrinkle. Consumers are often under the impression that they should no longer have wrinkles after a week or even within 30 days, but that is not a realistic expectation. The process to heal wrinkles begins at the cellular level and it takes time to grow the number of skin cells necessary to fill in those wrinkles.

The most effective method for the removal of wrinkles is to grow new skin cells to replace unhealthy ones and to fill in the wrinkle, just as your skin would heal a cut or a scrape. While a cut may close itself in as little as a week or two, it takes time for any indication of that cut to completely disappear. The same is true with a wrinkle. The depth and length of a wrinkle will be reduced over the course of a week or so and certainly by the 30 day mark, but in order to achieve complete removal of those wrinkles, it may be as long as two to three months. There are, however, certain ingredients that can help reduce the amount of time that this process takes.

Since growing new skin cells takes time, ingredients such as Matrixyl and Renovage can help stimulate a more rapid growth cycle and do so effectively. Ingredients like these can reduce the wrinkle removal process by as much as 72%. And the use of stem cells can reduce it even further. Stem cells are an interesting ingredient, because you can bypass the amount of time it takes to grow new skin cells and simply add them to your skin with every application. This powerful ingredient has been providing staggering results in clinical studies and may be the fastest working anti wrinkle, anti aging ingredient on the market.

But even with these super powered ingredients the process of healing a wrinkle takes time. The best results are found when a consumer continuously applies one product, usually with the ingredients name above, for a period of time of at least 3 months. The level of results achieved by using the same product twice daily over a period of 3 months has proven to provide 67% greater wrinkle reduction than that of a consumer who only used the product for 30 days. Based upon these clinical studies it would appear that wrinkle cream consumers are often frustrated by a lack of results in the first 30 days of using a product, and they discontinue use or change to another products, when what they should be doing is continuously using that same product.

Now if you are going to commit to using a particular wrinkle cream for a 3 month period of time, it would make sense that a bit of research is done prior to making the purchase. There are many wrinkle cream review sites and information out there on the best wrinkle creams, and that should all be read before making a decision. But once you have decided, stay committed. All the studies point to the fact that in order to completely heal a wrinkle, consumers must choose the best products and then use them for prolonged periods of time usually ranging between 3 and 6 months depending on the severity of the damage.
