Fine/Deep Wrinkles
As we age, our skin becomes thinner, starts to dry out, and wrinkles appear. This is a natural part of aging and is most commonly seen on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and the backs of hands. Wrinkles are categorized into two types: fine, superficial lines and deep wrinkles. If you want to reduce the formation of wrinkles or diminish existing ones, various treatment methods are available.
What Causes Wrinkles?
As we age, skin cells divide more slowly, and our skin starts to thin out. Aging skin also loses its ability to retain moisture and produces less oil, leading to dryness. All these factors contribute to the wrinkling process. Other factors causing wrinkles include:
- Smoking: It slows down collagen production, a crucial component of your skin's structure. A decrease in collagen paves the way for wrinkles.
- Skin type: People with fair skin are more prone to sun damage, leading to more wrinkles.
- Genetic predisposition
- Prolonged sun exposure
- Excessive use of facial expressions
What Are the Treatments for Wrinkles?
There are many treatment methods to prevent wrinkle formation and reduce existing wrinkles.
- Botox: The most commonly used treatment. Early application and regular repetition of Botox before wrinkles fully set in can prevent their formation and help reduce existing wrinkles.
- Microneedling with gold needles: This procedure stimulates collagen synthesis, tightening the skin and effectively reducing fine lines.
- Fractional CO2 laser: One of the most powerful skin rejuvenation treatments. It is highly effective in eliminating facial scars, pores, spots, and wrinkles.
- Mesotherapy: With active ingredients like high-concentration hyaluronic acid, peptides, and amino acids, mesotherapy rejuvenates the skin and helps reduce wrinkles.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers: Fine filler applications into deepening wrinkles can reduce the appearance of wrinkle lines.
- Calcium and poly-L-lactic acid skin rejuvenation: Treatments containing these active ingredients are among the strongest collagen stimulators. As the skin rejuvenates, wrinkles also begin to diminish.
Every skin is unique. Therefore, providing the necessary health solutions and medical support with a personalized treatment approach is crucial.
