Are you embarrassed with wrinkles? Don't let your confidence down with aging? It is possible to treat and regain you're lost younger and fresh look in this modern era. With the advanced techniques under the guidance of the expert dermatologists, one can ease out all their beauty concerns.
Fine lines and wrinkles begin to develop in the late twenties. A small depression especially when formed on the surface of the skin by shrinking or contraction of muscles.It may be due to aging or body mass loss and exposure to sunlight creates folds or creases in the skin. There are different types of wrinkles; atrophic crinkling rhytids, permanent elastic creases and dynamic expression lines and gravitational folds.
The following are the most important causes of wrinkle
Aging
With age skin cells divide more slowly and dermis(inner layer of skin) begins to thin.The outer layer is supported by a network of elastin and collagen fibers loosens and unravels and hence it results in the depression on the skin surface. As age progresses skin becomes more fragile and oil-secreting glands are less efficient making the skin unable to retain moisture and wrinkles appear. These factors cause wrinkles
Exposure to Sun
It is known as photoaging and is because of the excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays which damage the important connective tissue components-collagen fibers(major structural proteins) and elastin fibers (the protein that enables skin to stretch) that are responsible for the strength of the skin and flexibility. When UV rays damage the skin tissue, resulting in the production of certain enzymes that damages the healthy collagen and forming solar scars.
Facial Muscle contraction
Due to muscle contraction, lines between the eyebrows and lines coming out from the corner of the eyes are believed to develop. The loss of underlying bone and fat mass contributes to the development of jowls and drooping eyelids.
Smoking
Studies have shown that smoking has a negative effect on healthy skin and it reduces the production of new collagen which is responsible for the formation of wrinkles. This may also be due to the lack of blood supply to the skin caused by smoking.
Treatment Available
Removing irregular skin layers is an effective way to regain more youthful looking skin. Dermabrasion(scraping away the layers) and chemical peels (dissolving skin away) are the two traditional methods used. Some other treatment includes,
Laser skin resurfacing
In this technique short, concentrated pulsating beams of light falls on the irregular skin.This removes skin layer by layer which stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers
Botulinum toxin type A injection Therapy
It is injected into muscles and it blocks the chemical signals that cause muscles to contract.
Fillers
The wrinkles and skin depressions are treated using some fillers.
Face-lift
In this surgical procedure excess skin and fat is removed from the face and neck
