As you age, your skin loses its elasticity and given the slowing production of natural oils down, it dries and wrinkles appear. The fat in the deep parts of the skin is also lost causing it to sag. However, age is not the only factor augmenting skin wrinkles. An unhealthy lifestyle and various environmental factors can also cause premature aging and wrinkles to occur. Here are some reasons which increase facial wrinkles:

  • Sunlight
  • Air pollution
  • Sleep depreciation
  • Tobacco use
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Persistent facial muscles movement
  • Stress
  • Sugar overconsumption
  • Avoiding moisturizing lotions

You can adhere to four simple tips to prevent wrinkles

If you still have the time to prevent wrinkles and look younger, there are things you can do at home with no need to see a dermatologist.

Avoid sun exposure

Of the most important causes of facial wrinkles is the exposure to strong sunlight. The sunlight UV rays penetrate the deepest layers of the skin, causing premature aging. Avoiding sunlight and putting sunscreen on can also prevent skin cancer besides wrinkles.

Put on moisturizing lotions

Always keep your skin moisturized with standard lotions and creams. Persistent skin dryness will destruct its scaffolding network resulting in numerous wrinkles. So always keep your skin moisturized, especially areas under the eyes which have thinner skin.

 

Never forget fruits and vegetables

Anti-oxidant components which are inherent in the fruits and vegetables fight with free radicals which damage human body cells. Therefore, anti-oxidants make skin look brighter and fresher.

Get enough sleep

As long as you don’t get enough sleep, cortisol concentration in your body will increase causing skin cells to get damaged. But if enough, body will produce and secrete more growth hormone leading to skin thickening and its elasticity increase.

 

 

Medical treatments for skin wrinkles

Other than natural ways, there are many medical treatments for resolving skin wrinkles which will be discussed in the following.

Botox: simple, fast and effective

One of the ways to overcome forehead wrinkles is Botox injection. Botox is made from botulinum toxin and when injected into certain facial muscles, will causes temporary paralysis of that muscle. By paralyzes the muscles, the toxin prevents them from contracting and wrinkling naturally. However, like any other treatment, it has some side effects. Here are some of them:

  1. Headache and nausea
  2. Redness and swelling
  3. Infection
  4. Eye and mouth dryness

Putting on anti-aging wrinkle creams

Some people prefer to put on anti-wrinkle creams instead of surgery and other cosmetic procedures. Anti-oxidants and fats in these creams can reduce the amount of wrinkles a bit. Take the note that these creams have a short-term effect.

 

The miracle of resolving wrinkles with chemical exfoliants

In this treatment, the specialist peels the affected by an acid exfoliant (a combination of different chemical substances) and treats skin issues especially wrinkles. With chemical exfoliation, the skin produces more collagen and becomes smoother and clearer.

Wrinkle removal with laser therapy

To remove facial wrinkles, the laser passes through the first outer layer of the skin and heats the underlying layer. As a result, collagen production is stimulated. Collagen is a natural protein which makes the skin look smooth and clear. Today, fractional CO2 laser is considered as the best option for skin rejuvenation and removal of deep wrinkles and other lesions.

 

The fractional laser works with carbon dioxide and by emitting the laser rays, it will eliminate all the stains left by sunlight, different skin conditions and wrinkles. This laser is also effective in treating acne scars, skin sagging, facial warts and dark spots.

However, there are other ways than fractional CO2 which have less side effects. HIFU therapy and RF are of these modern ways used for skin rejuvenation while being safe and semi-invasive. Fractional RF laser is applied in order to remove skin wrinkles, scars and pores. Neither short nor long-term side effects are known for fractional RF.

HIFU therapy is another novel way for skin tightening and lifting. Being non-invasive and painless, it is a suitable way to reduce wrinkles, neck, brow and lid lift

Gel injection to reduce wrinkles

Other therapies may leave some wrinkles untreated though being effective. Gel injection can resolve these stubborn wrinkles. However, gel therapy is temporary and the effects will go away after about 4 to 6 months. After then, patients must revisit for a new shot.
