Various Cosmetic Treatments to Delay Facial Aging

Our skin naturally begins to lose its elasticity, which will cause wrinkles, and repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, and dehydration will speed up the natural aging process and lead to premature wrinkles.

Our skin ages in different ways:

Wrinkles- The skin loses some of its elasticity causing wrinkles and fine lines, the skin becomes thinner and drier, and new wrinkles are often found around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth, and lips. Frequent movements of the fine motor skills of the face, which are repeated over the years, are usually the cause of these lines.

eye lines – Wrinkles appear at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in the sun, reading in dim light, or looking at a computer screen.

Expression lines Frequent frowning when concentrating or worrying can cause deep furrows on the forehead.

mouth lines – Fine lines around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, lip puckering, or lip puckering when drinking through a straw.

volume loss

When we reach 30, one of the most dramatic changes in the skin is the loss of collagen. Collagen production begins to decline over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. Our skin will begin to lose its smoothness due to the loss of fat and tissue under the skin. This loss of volume can make the face look gaunt and sunken, especially around the eyes and cheeks.

The loss of facial volume causes:

• Permanent parenthesis lines on rest face

• Sagging skin after sudden weight loss

• Cheeks flatten over time.

• Hollows to appear under the eyes.

• Sinking

As we age, our skin loses the collagen and elastin that keep it looking soft, smooth and youthful. Aging and gravity cause facial muscles to weaken, causing the skin to sag a little more each day.

Sagging skin causes:

• Fine lines and wrinkles that form on the skin.

• Skin pores often appear larger.

• Furrows and cracks begin to develop around the eyes, neck, and mouth.

• Lack of definition in the jaw line.

The natural rate of aging causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, but there are some characteristics of aging that are completely out of our control; such as genetics, anatomy and gravity. However, there are cosmetic procedures available that can help slow down the aging process.

botox – When we relax our facial muscles, lines and wrinkles do not appear. These signs of facial aging can be easily reduced or eliminated with a botox treatment, resulting in a more natural and youthful appearance.

dermal fillers – Precise placement of fillers gives a naturally filled look to hollows in sunken cheeks and under eyes and smoothes deep lines, giving you dramatic results.

skin accentuation – We can use it as an independent treatment or combined with other treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion to improve the results. These are great ways to tone, tighten, and smooth our skin. Gives the skin a rejuvenated firmness with the toned look of youth.
