Fine lines and wrinkles can be caused by a combination of factors. Some factors, such as aging and genetics, occur naturally. But some other factors, like sun exposure and lifestyle choices, can be controlled:
Aging
As we age, our skin naturally becomes less elastic and resilient. Decreased production of natural oils dries skin and makes it appear more wrinkled. Fat in the deeper layers of the skin also diminishes with age, which causes saggy skin and more pronounced lines.
Ultraviolet (UV) Light Exposure
Ultraviolet radiation exposure accelerates the natural aging process and is the primary cause of early wrinkling. UV light breaks down collagen and elastin fibers in the deeper layer of skin (dermis). Without these supportive connective tissues, skin loses flexibility and prematurely develops wrinkles.
Repeated Facial Expressions
Everyday facial movements and expressions, such as squinting or smiling, lead to the development of expression lines and wrinkles. A groove forms beneath the surface of the skin each time a facial muscle is used. As skin ages, it loses resiliency and can no longer spring back in place. These grooves become permanent facial features.
Smoking
Long-term smoking can speed up the skin’s normal aging process, contributing to lines and wrinkles. This may occur because of smoking’s effect on collagen.
Botox®, Dysport®, DAXXIFY® and Xeomin® are FDA-approved neuromodulators that effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. They work by blocking the signals from nerves to muscles, preventing muscle contractions that lead to creases on the skin’s surface. These treatments are minimally invasive and widely used in cosmetic dermatology to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin with results that typically last for several months.
Laser Skin Resurfacing – Ablative is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that utilizes laser technology to improve skin texture and tone. By precisely removing outer layers of damaged skin, this treatment stimulates collagen production, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion. It effectively targets a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage, providing clients with a refreshed and revitalized appearance.
Tissue tightening uses ultrasound or radiofrequency energy to heat up the dermal layer of the skin. The delivered heat promotes collagen regrowth and strengthens collagen fibers. This ultimately firms the skin and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Radiofrequency microneedling is an effective treatment for fine lines, skin tightening and facial rejuvenation. Microneedling with radiofrequency specifically uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layer of skin. Then as the skin grows back with new collagen and elastin, the surface will naturally thicken and tighten. Treatment is minimally invasive and is considered safe and effective for all skin types.
SkinPen® is a state-of-the-art, FDA-approved precision microneedling device. It is used by leading healthcare providers to rejuvenate from the inside out for younger looking skin.
