Wrinkles Treatment
Ageing is a non-reversible continuous process. With time, the skin gradually loses its elasticity resulting in crow’s feet, wrinkles and age spots. As one crosses the age of 30, skin becomes thinner and is unable to retain enough moisture to keep that glamorous glow. Skin ages much more faster where there has been sun exposure, leading to wrinkles. These especially include the face, neck, the backs of the hands, and the tops of the forearms. Wrinkles are the facial lines caused by ageing and effects of facial muscles. Wrinkles are a by-product of the aging process. With age, skin cells divide more slowly, and the inner layer, called the dermis, begins to thin.
The network of elastin (the protein which causes skin to stretch) and collagen fibers (the major structural proteins in the skin), which support the outer layer, loosen and unravel, causing depressions on the surface. With aging, skin also loses its elasticity, is less able to retain moisture, oil-secreting glands are less efficient and the skin is slower to heal. All of these contribute to the development of wrinkles. Read more…
