Wrinkles
The process of skin aging is inevitable, since genetically programmed. It starts so invisible from the age of twenty by the slowdown of cell turnover. The skin loses quietly firmness and elasticity before wrinkles appear. The contours of the eyes and mouth are usually the most affected areas.
Causes
In addition to the work of time and heredity, skin aging can be accelerated by different variables of everyday life. For example, the sun, cold, wind, drought, pollution and tobacco producers of free radicals, atoms that are produced in excess, disrupt the cells and cause premature aging of the skin.
The repetition of certain facial movements also strengthens muscles. This muscle activity causes the rustling of the neighboring skin, which causes expression lines. Among the wrinkles called scientifically, we can recognize the wrinkles of anxiety (front), the glabellar lines (lines), wrinkles, crow's feet (outer corners of eyes), the marionette lines (corners of the mouth) , wrinkles rabbit (bridge of the nose or naso-labial fold) and lines lips.
In women, hormonal changes of menopause and dry out the skin too thin. .
Information and advice
On a daily basis, many actions can be taken to prevent the appearance of wrinkles.
Although oxygenate and hydrate the skin, sun protection using creams and scrubs are available to all gestures that are necessary for healthy skin.
A balanced diet rich in vitamins, trace elements and fatty acids, is also essential, as are nutritional supplements.
Several substances can be applied to the skin to counteract the appearance of wrinkles. Fruit acids and exfoliating AHA have to give luster to the skin. They are used sparingly, since they can also accelerate natural thinning of the skin. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and improve skin surface. They are found especially in vitamins E and C and the beta-carotene. Ceramides are lipids that hold moisture in the skin and stabilizes the structure. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, stimulates cell renewal and minimizes fine lines.
The effects on the skin of hormonal changes may be limited by nourishing the skin care soy or seaweed, for example.
Care must be taken not to use too many different active ingredients on your skin as this may accelerate aging. It is recommended to consult a professional to determine the best way to prevent wrinkles on your skin type.
Treatments
Different treatment options may be considered when it comes to correcting existing wrinkles.
Known under different names, botulinum toxin (Botox) is injected in small doses to paralyze muscle areas. It acts on nerve conduction and prevents muscle contractions responsible for expression lines. This temporary paralysis, which lasts about 5-6 months, has the effect of reducing these wrinkles. Botulinum toxin is primarily used for wrinkles the forehead, glabellar lines, crow's feet and wrinkles at the corners of the mouth.
The facelift or facelift, are popular terms for breast lift face and neck. This technique is to remove and tighten excess skin, muscle and fat deposits. The breast lift does not stop the aging process, but changes some effects to provide a rejuvenated appearance and smoother contours to the skin of the face and neck. It is common to use complementary or alternative treatments along with the breast lift. Since this treatment is particularly true in the middle third of the face and neck but can not correct the fatty deposits of the eyelids, droopy eyebrows or wrinkles around the mouth, can be combined with other treatments for a more complete (liposuction , endoscopy, tissue sealant, etc).
The technique involves injecting implants injectable products that meet the ridges of the skin wrinkled. The filling uses products injected using a fine needle into the dermis that are of plant origin and are absorbable. Therefore, in some cases, repeat injections for a lasting effect. Collagen can fill some wrinkles permanently, while hyaluronic acid improves wrinkles targeted for a period of 3 to 12 months. The filling is mainly used for forehead wrinkles, the facial lines and wrinkles around the nose. The filling is more durable and is reinjected into the wrinkles of fat taken from the patient under general anesthesia. The filling is mainly used for crow's feet, plump cheeks, fill in the grooves around the nose and reduce fine lines of the upper lip.
Microdermabrasion of the skin by the laser can eliminate the wrinkles on the eyelids and crow's feet. We use mainly the CO2 laser for wrinkles. It uses a less powerful method, often called laser AURA, to absorb less affected areas such as fine lines.
The technique of gold wire is attached to the collagen. A gold wire is inserted under the skin to stimulate the production of collagen.
The technique of peeling is to burn superficially in the skin to remove dead cells and regenerate cellular activity.
