Wrinkles, Wrinkles and More Wrinkles by Gia Marie

Are you looking in the mirror these days saying to yourself  “wrinkles, wrinkles and more wrinkles?” You’re not alone! Unfortunately we can’t turn back time, however there are ways to prevent wrinkles and improve the health of your skin.

We have three layers of skin:
1) The outer layer of the skin is called the Epidermis and this is what everyone can see and touch. This is the protective layer.
2) The middle layer of the skin is called the Dermis, “True Skin” this layer is made of fibers called Elastin and Collagen that act as a foundation in the building blocks of the skin.
3) The innermost layer of the skin is called Subcutaneous which contains a layer of fat that gives the skin a plump appearance.

A wrinkle in the skin is known as a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. As we age the Dermis starts to lose both Elastin (the fibers that maintains the skin’s elasticity) and Collagen (which form the structural network of the skin.) The skin becomes thinner which causes slackening of the skin, and the fat in the Subcutaneous layer starts to disappear leading to more noticeable sagging and the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.

There are many factors in the causes of wrinkle. These are the most common:
• Sun Exposure
• Poor Diet
• Rapid Weight Loss
• Smoking
• Heredity

Remedy for Wrinkles and Lines:
There is nothing we can do to stop the aging process. Eventually we either have to accept our skin changes or choose to do something about the look of having wrinkles. Here are some recommended procedures to smooth out the look of wrinkles:

Chemical Peel. A chemical peel solution is applied to wrinkled lined areas causing dead skin to slough off and regenerate new smooth skin.
Soft Tissue Fillers. Collagen, Hyaluronic acid or even your own fat distributed into deep face wrinkles to plump up and fill in the area wrinkle.
Face Lift. This procedure involves the removal of facial skin with or without the tightening of underlying tissues.

There are also new crazes such a “Face Yoga” and many at home remedies that have been discussed throughout the social networks, but be advised to always consult a Licensed Professional before starting any procedure or topical treatment.
