Knowledge of Facial Wrinkles

Pre-treatment education: the first thing that has to be done before undergoing treatments is the knowledge of the types of wrinkles and causes.

 

Type of Wrinkles

• Dynamic Wrinkles: the cause for this type of wrinkle is because of repeated movements of facial expression frowning, and squinting. These areas include the forehead, around the eyes crow's feet and between eyebrows.
• Static Wrinkles: These will be deeper even when your skin is rested. They are developed due to elastin and collagen degeneration within the skin. These wrinkles are generally located in the cheek areas, neck, and jaw.

Causes of Wrinkles

Aging: The skin makes minimal amounts of elastin and collagen with advancing age; thereby losing its firmness and elasticity.

• Sun Exposure: UV radiation damages the skin cells and causes aging before time, thus deepening wrinkles fast.
• Smoking: The chemicals within tobacco smoke disintegrate the skin tissues through the workers and at the same time restrict blood flow towards the skin surface.
• Dehydration: Blocks out the moisture leading to drying of the skin, hence accentuating dullness and wrinkling on the skin.
• Bad Diet: Lack of vitamins and minerals brings damage to the skin.
• Repeated Facial Muscle Use: Frequently contracting/using some facial muscles creates holes in the skin, which gradually deepen, creating wrinkles.

Non-Surgical Treatments

There are several non-surgical methods for smoothing wrinkles without surgery occurring.

  

1. Topical Applications

• Retinoid: Among the best topical wrinkle treatments are retinoid-a class of drugs related to vitamin A. They stimulate cellular turnover, stimulate collagen synthesis, and generally have an improving effect on skin texture. In the OTC formulation, stronger preparations require a prescription.
• Peptides: Peptides- This refers to the short chain of amino acids that act to boost formation of collagen hence enhance skin elasticity. Seek a wrinkle eraser preferably in a cream or serum formulation which includes peptides.
• Antioxidants: Antioxidants such as vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid help stop oxidative stress with the creation of new collagen in the skin. Serum products containing high antioxidant levels can even lighten your skin and erase fine lines as well.
• Hyaluronic Acid: This is the chemical that acts like a humectant with the capability of pulling the moisture toward the skin's surface. It increases the volume of the skin and reduces wrinkles. In response, look for moisturizers or serums that hold this chemical.

2. Chemical Peels

Chemical peel involves putting of a solution on the skin where by the outer part of skin is removed through exfoliation with a view of encouraging growth of new skin. This method may assist persons who have lost the normal skin roughness impairment due to shrinkage of lines and wrinkles. Peels do exist from superficial to deep, so that would really depend on your skin type and the severity of your wrinkles.

3. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure wherein small crystals exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, effectively reducing the appearance of fine lines and also improving the texture tone of the skin while providing improved access for topical products.

4. Laser Treatments

Fractional laser resurfacing is another laser treatment that uses different forms of radiation to stimulate collagen production. It smooths the skin with great texture and reduces wrinkles. The treatments can also be modulated according to the needs of the person's skin.

5. Botox Injections

The most common treatment using Botox probably is the paralysis of the dynamic muscles, or the ones responsible for wrinkles. This makes the muscle relaxed and gives way to crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, for which a remedial measure lasts around three months to six months.

7. Facial Massage and Exercises

Facials that include massage increase circulation and, of course, help to drain the lymph, keeping the skin supple. In this regard, facial exercises may tighten the skin as well by building up the muscles under the skin.

Invasive Treatments

There are several surgical alternatives for people who want more extreme results.

1. Facelift Surgery

Facelift refers to a medical process commonly referred to as rhytidectomy, which involves pulling the skin at the face and neck and tightening it to reduce the look of deeper furrows and jowls. Well-developed skin laxity and more major wrinkles will love this process.
