No matter how we all miss our youth, there is nothing sad about aging. We grow wiser in our decisions and thoughtful in our actions. Thus, aging is something that we all need to embrace and celebrate.
However, as the number of candles starts adding up in the birthday cake, there is more adding up of wrinkles in your forehead.
The moment when the first line of aging appear is the best time to visit a skin expert.
With current pollution levels and unhealthy diet practices, the world is a challenging place to stay young and healthy.
And our skin is the first body part to show an impact. The skin dries up, loses elasticity and wrinkles start to appear.
The best way to avoid wrinkles is to stay at the top of your health. The healthier you are, the longer will it take for wrinkles to form.
Happy souls are simply the youngest looking people. Perpetual anger, chronic sadness, and sulking habits can form permanent wrinkles on the face. If you are angry and in a bad mood very often, your face can actually develop wrinkles since the facial muscles have spent the most time in that scowled state.
Excessive drinking and smoke drain the necessary nutrients from our bodies. Our skin requires a definite amount of oxygen, collagen, and hydration to look youthful. But unfortunately, drinking and smoking can deprive you of these necessities and add years to your face.
It is said that 90% of aging happens due to the effects of the Sun. You will age quickly if you bask in the afternoon sun rays. The ultraviolet rays from the sun deteriorate protein from the skin and you will lose your youthful appearance. Wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat whenever you get in the sun.
Spending more time in cold environments leads to the development of wrinkles, thin and dry skin. Cold causes the skin’s natural oils to deplete and lose its elasticity, thus resulting in body and face aging.
There are certain foods that cause you to age faster. A diet high in omega-6 but low in omega-3 is harmful to your body and skin. Omega-3 fats are found in soybean, walnuts, and salmon.
Similarly, trans-fats, artificial ingredients (sodium glutamate, potassium bromated), sugar, and concentrated processed foods are anti-youth friendly. Make sure to avoid them.
Being too slim or too hefty can add to the premature aging process.
People who are underweight have lesser natural fat that causes the skin to droop down and form wrinkles. On the other hand, overweight people lead an inactive life which is in itself a cause of aging.
No physical workout, use of chemical-stuffed products on the body or face, too much television, and unhealthy diet plans can make us old right in front of our eyes.
Aging can be slowed down by avoiding the causes and implementing a healthy lifestyle. However, if you are already seeing the lines of wisdom on your facial skin, you might have to go more than natural.
At our clinic we use the following methods to help you regain that youth and charm:
Botox cosmetic uplifts the skin of your face. This is one of the quickest solutions for wrinkles since you will see the result in about 72 hours.
Basically, you remove your wrinkles by paralyzing your facial skin. When injected in small doses, Botox weakens or contracts the muscles temporarily. Thus, the wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet at the eye corners begin to disappear.
It also promotes flattening of the skin in 4-6 months. The best time to use Botox is before you start having noticeable wrinkle lines. It can also be used at the first signs of aging or appearance of wrinkles.
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Device. HIFU is ideal for those looking to avoid the needles and surgeries. With this method, you can rather get younger-looking skin without any pain.
This device is a fast-growing technique for a facelift. This method also makes the jawline visible by removing excess far from the chin area.
HIFU, when combined with other procedures, can eradicate serious shagging. It also eradicates neck or nape lifting issues. According to popular health information site Healthline.com, HIFU uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin.
The visible result takes 3 months to 6 months to appear. Changes are usually felt by the patients.
Thermage heats the dermis layer of the skin without damaging the epidermis below it. A hand-held device delivers radiofrequency energy into dermal tissue with the help of needles. When the dermal tissue is heated, the collagen fibrils become disrupted, then contract and thicken, tightening the skin layer below the surface.
As the fibril layers heal, they are reshaped and new collagen forms. It is comparatively a bit painful procedure. Thus, a numbing cream is applied before starting the procedure. Thermage is probably best for women in their 30s to 40s who have a few wrinkles or mild skin looseness.
This injectable soft tissue filler is a cosmetic filler to restore fullness and volume in the face. The awkward smile lines in the face or the frowning facial lines in the forehead are filled in to restore a smoother appearance.
Non-Surgical Dermal fillers can be used to get plumper/fuller lips, soften facial creases, and enhance shallow contours and reduce the visibility of recessed scars and wrinkles. The youthful appearance in the face usually lasts for one to two years as it is gradually absorbed by the skin.
Aging is a continuous process, and hence many people are seeking noninvasive technologies and treatments to maintain skin health and a lasting youthful appearance.
Bipolar radiofrequency skin tightening is one of the many options available in our clinic to make your face free of wrinkles and lines. Usually, 6 to 8 settings are needed, each done 2 to 3 days apart. This is a completely painless and pocket-friendly treatment.
Your own blood is used to help promote the healthy activity of your skin cells.
First, 10 to 20 ml of blood is collected and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is separated by centrifuge. The PRP is then applied with the help of micro-needling in the skin. Microneedling makes microscopic injury in the skin which helps in PRP absorption. This method is famously known as celebrity facial. The growth factors present in the plasma of one’s own blood will help in collagen remodeling and get rid of fine lines and wrinkles.
There are numerous ways to get rid of wrinkles and regain your youthful appearance. Some are simple and cost-efficient while others require some extra effort. It all depends on your needs and preferences.
