Although the skin undergoes a process of normal aging, wrinkles are not part of it until about 60 years. In 80% of cases, the sun's ultraviolet rays are responsible for the aging process them are made up of UVA, UVB and UVC, of which the UVC does not affect the skin because they are absorbed by the ozone layer; UVB rays only affects the outermost layer of skin is the epidermis. By contrast, the UVA rays that reach the dermis is the deeper layer of skin, located below the epidermis.

 

That's where the blood vessels together with the proteins elastin and collagen, which function as a web of support. By reducing these two elements that takes the skin appearance of wrinkles and depression, an effect enhanced by sunlight. In general, the process of skin aging is complex and is closely related to the natural process of structural and functional impairment of other organs of the body and also depending on the amount of noxious stimuli we receive either intrinsic (genetically determined) or extrinsic (environmental and physical factors such as ultraviolet rays from the sun).

 

Definition of wrinkle

 

By definition, a wrinkle or furrow is a fold of skin or any other membrane, either by decreasing the deeper layer of fat or decrease the size of the cells that are part of the dermis. Essentially, think of a decrease in water content, the skin produces less oil and the outer layer (epidermis) becomes rough and dry, while there is an alteration of the elastic fibers and collagen in the dermis. When the production of collagen is reduced, giving the skin. As the elastin fibers are going to deteriorate, the skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles appear and changes in appearance that can differentiate skin aging of the skin young

 

Appearance of wrinkles

The blood vessels in the dermis or deep layer, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which amount to the skin to stimulate formation of new cells. In the dermis is hosting the collagen fibers that give strength and firmness to the skin, and elastin, which gives the skin its flexibility. Moreover, this layer is responsible for producing moisture and keep it. which gives the skin its texture and smoothness over time. The natural aging does not necessarily come with wrinkles, but the fine wrinkles occur causing superficial. The sun exposure leads to premature wrinkles that are deep and thick

 

Intrinsic factors

 

They are Genetically determined

Extrinsic factors

 

Pollution

There is no single treatment, except for the treatments that are aimed to raise awareness of skin care methods of prevention, healthy living and try to find disease-time taking the necessary steps to prevent complications.

 

There were for example, medical treatments aimed at reducing the contractions of facial muscles in an effort to lessen the tension they exert on the skin. This objective is achieved through injections of botulinum toxin (Botox ®) in the muscles you want to relax. Before its implementation, patients should be evaluated clinically and by means of photographs shows the facial expression during sleep and activity. Injection sites are facing more frequent in the area between the eyes (glabelen) and around the eyelids, on the sites of greatest muscle activity. The results are satisfactory and can stay for up to 6 months.

 

It was also used methods of feedback, that is, adjust the behavior of patients to control their facial movements and avoid redundant contractions that create wrinkles. One of them is to look in the mirror while speaking to prevent wrinkle always the same facial muscles in the same way.

 

The pressure of the face against the pillow can create lines of permanent sleep. A change in sleeping positions can prevent this. Retinoic acid is a derivative of vitamin A and used for the treatment of acne may soften the skin wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen, but apparently to be used each year.

 

The chemical peelings is a great alternative to smooth skin

 

Other treatments include microdermabrasion of the skin that is a pulimiento to improve the visibility of matching the skin and chemical peelings that remove the top layers of the epidermis or outer layer of skin that allows the thickening of the deeper layers of the same. The previous treatment stimulates the production of new collagen, along with the laser surface, the problem is that it produces a lot of minor redness.

 

Injections of collagen, hyaluronic acid, lipoinyecciones, namely the application of the same body fat at a different site to build volume and botulinum toxin treatments are complementary. Vitamin C is called the vitamin because it allows the skin to build and maintain collagen and elastin. Apparently vitamin C can be applied to reduce the amount of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that need to join with oxygen and result from sun exposure.

 

Another antioxidant, which prevents the loss of electrons in the cells and thus alter the cells of our body with recognized impact on the health of the skin is vitamin E.

 

There is a misconception that these treatments are relatively "easy" and do not require greater knowledge or ability to carry them out. The reality is that each must take place under the direction of a trained professional and trained to handle the effects or complications that may arise from them. Will be discussed in detail each of these strategies for the treatment of wrinkles by consulting the views of experts in the field.

 

Practical advice

 

Always use a sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat if you tan easily.

Use a sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15 on exposed skin and read the label to choose a product that protects against UVA and UVB radiation. The sunless tanning lotions can give an apparent temporary tan without exposure to the sun. You're not provide sunscreen lotions.

Daily cleaning of skin with a cleanser and use of moisturizing lotions or creams according to skin type.

Varied diet rich in fruits and vegetables with adequate hydration by consuming 7 to 8 glasses of water daily.

Combat stress through regular exercise.

Consult the appropriate creams with your dermatologist.

Myths and Realities

- Myth: Wrinkles are part of the natural signs of aging.

- Fact: The natural signs of aging are part of a process mediated by external factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

 

- Myth: The age of your skin does not change the fact of receiving ultraviolet rays.

- Fact: The age of the skin can vary up to 10 years both the chronological age. The age of the skin of face, neck, hands and arms is greater than that of the rest of the skin of the body, simply by bear
