Wrinkles on the face
Have you noticed that wrinkles are appearing on your face over time? Rest assured, you're not alone. They're a normal part of aging, but it's helpful to know what causes them and how to deal with them if you want to maintain a youthful appearance.
Why do wrinkles appear?
- Skin aging: After the age of 40, our skin begins to lose elasticity and produces less collagen. The result can be wrinkles.
- UV radiation: The sun is the number one enemy of the skin. Use sunscreen to slow down skin aging.
- Lifestyle: Smoking, lack of sleep, unhealthy diet and stress can all take a toll on your skin.
- Facial expressions: Constantly wrinkling the forehead, smiling, squinting - these can cause wrinkles on the face.
What treatments can help?
Fortunately, aesthetic medicine has something for you if you want to reduce those signs of aging a bit. Here are some popular treatments:
- Botox: The most well-known treatment that blocks the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles. The effect is quick and lasts several months.
- Hyaluronic acid: Great for filling in deeper wrinkles. It moisturizes the skin and gives it a more youthful appearance. The effect lasts from 6 to 12 months.
- Laser skin rejuvenation: It works on the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production. The skin becomes tighter and wrinkles are reduced.
What can you do yourself?
If you are not ready for treatments, basic care can do a lot too:
- Cream with UV filter: Protects against the sun's rays.
- Moisturizing cream: Moisturized skin looks younger.
- Supplementation: Vitamin C, collagen and hyaluronic acid can help maintain healthy skin.
Remember that everyone ages, but how you take care of yourself is up to you. If you want to look young and get rid of wrinkles contact a dermatologist.
