Age Spots Reduction Treatment
June 23rd, 2009Wrinkles are pleats or folds in the skin. In aging skin, they occur because of the diminished elasticity and generalized loss of dermal thickness that accompanies aging.
Even though wrinkles are a consequence of aging, age by itself is not the only cause. Some wrinkles are produced by repeated natural movements. If that’s hard to believe then just take a second to think about how often you laugh, frown or squint in a day. These reiterated movements create hairline depressions that appear around the corners of the eyes, mouth, and forehead. The new wrinkle formation can be linked to the skin’s loss of elasticity.
Wrinkles are also caused by overexposure to UV rays, both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays cause tanning, wrinkling, and melanoma while UV rays may damage skin by increasing the synthesis of proteolytic enzymes that break down collagen, the connective tissues located beneath the dermis.
There are 3 types of wrinkles:
Crinkles are the very fine wrinkles that occur in aging skin and appear everywhere, not just in patches that have been exposed to solar rays. Elastic fibers in your skin start to deteriorate around the age of 30, but you may not notice it until sometime later. This kind of wrinkling happens even without sun exposure, but is probably exacerbated by it.
Glyphic wrinkles are wrinkles that we all naturally have, but which have become accentuated with aging. If you have taken to using turtlenecks or scarves to cover lines that have appeared on your neck, you know what a glyphic wrinkle is. These wrinkles tend to become more marked with muscle contraction or with facial expressions.
Furrows are deep wrinkles that start to form on our face as we age. These wrinkles are mainly straight lines that appear on the forehead, corners of the mouth and eyes. They are so common that they’ve been baptized crow’s feet or laugh lines. Repeated movement and UV exposure accentuates their development. It is hard to get rid of these types of wrinkles when they appear between muscle groups. Furrows that surface around mouth and eyes keep visibly noticeable even when you are not smiling or squinting. They may not be eliminated, but may be minimized in size.
If we were to create a special type of wrinkle filler or view aging as a disease, then wrinkles could be viewed as small, improperly cured wounds. Doubtlessly wrinkles are characterized by incorrect build-up of collagen and imperfect skin cell ordering, which is also seen in healed wounds, although on a much larger scale. If so, could the elementsthat control the process of wound healing (by minimizing scar formation and improving skin remodeling) have a potential to prevent or even minimize wrinkles? Well, maybe. A good example of a wound-healing agent that appears to also have anti-wrinkle potential is the type of compounds called copper peptides, small proteins that minimize scar formation.
The biological ingredients contained in our new skin care solution ensures the healing of scars, imperfections and a wide range of skin conditions, without producing allergic responses.
