Wrinkles are a normal yet
unsightly sign of aging, which can come about due to various reasons including
too much exposure to the sun, poor diet, excessive smoking and drinking, lack of proper
sleep, advent of age, loss of moisture and elasticity as well as collagen,
which creates a smooth and supple look and other such reasons. Cosmetic and plastic
surgeons are now turning to a variety of methods to lessen the pronounced look
of wrinkles and remove them for younger looking skin.
Here are a few methods currently in use:
·
Fillers: Fillers like
collagen and others including poly lactic acid, Calcium Hydroxylapatite and
Hyaluronic acid can be used to restore the elasticity of the skin even as they
provide precious hydration. These injectables can be used on the face as well
as on hands for a smooth and supple look.
·
Botox: To get rid of the lines on
the forehead and to prevent the onset of more pronounced wrinkles, Botox or
Botulinum Toxin Type A is a favoured element used by many cosmetic surgeons and
dermatologists. This is usually administered via injection.
·
Retinoids: This is administered with a
surgical procedure in order to remove uneven pigmentation as well as
the roughness of skin, which sets in with age and excessive smoking and sun exposure.
It may cause skin peeling and redness.
·
Laser: The use of laser
resurfacing can also help in stimulating collagen production of the skin,
which restores some of its elasticity so that wrinkles may be removed and
further wrinkles prevented.
·
Surgery: The use of surgical methods
like face lifts, brow lifts and other cosmetic processes can help in giving the
skin a tighter look, which does away with the appearance of wrinkles. These are
usually minor procedures from which one will heal fast.
·
Peels: Glycolic acid peels and
deeper peels that use elements like Salicylic acid can be used to go deep into
the skin and making it smooth again. It basically makes a difference to the
fine lines. There is a chance of side effects like scarring, bruising and
general discolouration in this method as well.
Adequate sleep,
good nutrition, avoiding excessive sun exposure and a good skin care regimen can help in keeping wrinkles at bay for a long
time. Moisturising with products that contain plenty of vitamin A and E can
also help in reducing fine lines.
