Skin firmness is maintained by collagen fibers (collagen fibers) and elastic fibers (elastin) in the dermis, which have strong tensile strength. As the skin ages, these degenerate or decrease, resulting in loss of firmness and an increase in wrinkles. Skin aging can be divided into age-related changes and photoaging. Age-related changes are said to be influenced by genetic factors. Degeneration of the dermis is mainly due to photoaging and is related to the time and intensity of UV exposure. Therefore, it is important to prevent sun exposure and photoaging in order to prevent wrinkles.
Dry lines and fine wrinkles
Dry lines and fine wrinkles
Wrinkles are not only in the dermis but there are also shallow superficial wrinkles. These are dry fine wrinkles. Chronic dryness causes fine lines and wrinkles to like fine ripples. They often appear in the shallow layers of skin around the eyes and mouth. They can often be made less noticeable by moisturizing and hydrating the skin. Treatment methods performed at our clinic are as follows.
Treatments
- Peeling
- Dermapen4Ⓡ
- Thermaneedle
- PRF Therapy
- Doctor's Cosmetics
Improvement is achieved by skin wound healing and turnover with chemical solutions such as chemical peels, Microneedling such as Dermapen and Radiofrequency such as Thermagen and Thermoneedle. Improvement can also be achieved by processing PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) from blood samples with a centrifuge to infiltrate the skin with growth factors. In addition, doctor's cosmetics and other products are effective for daily hydration.
Furrows
These wrinkles are caused by contraction and tension of the facial muscles that make facial expressions. They are deep wrinkles that form around the eyes, between the eyebrows and on the forehead.
Treatments
- Botox injections
- Hyaluronic acid
Botox injections are injected into the muscles, where the toxin produced by botulinum temporarily paralyzes the muscles and relaxes them. Hyaluronic acid may be effective for wrinkles that remain after Botox injections.
Sagging
These wrinkles are caused by the soft tissues of the skin drooping with age. The boundaries of the drooping areas are hollowed out and appear as deep wrinkles. Typical examples are laugh lines, marionette lines and dark circles under the eyes.
