Fine lines and wrinkles are very common signs of ageing; as the production of collagen slows down and the cell turnover reduces, these fine lines become deeper and more pronounced. Fine lines are small, shallow creases that typically form around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, while wrinkles are deeper and more noticeable lines that form in the same areas, but they also appear on other parts of the face and neck.
Our skin is made up of collagen and elastin which form a matrix to provide support to the skin tissue. As we get older, the rate at which our fibroblast cells produce collagen slows down, causing the structure under the skin to weaken and folds, creases/lines, and wrinkles to form. They are caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, smoking, and repetitive facial movements.
Taking care of your skin's health is crucial before starting any treatments as it can help minimise the risk of accelerated premature ageing and reduce recovery time. It's important to use high-quality, medical-grade skincare products to prepare the skin in advance of any treatments. Additionally, a good broad-spectrum sunscreen will help protect the skin from further damage and prepare it for resurfacing and collagen-inducing treatments. Internal supplements and collagen shots with proven clinical efficacy can also be helpful in preventing early signs of ageing. By following these steps, you can ensure that your skin is in optimal condition for any treatments you may undergo.
There are many non-surgical ways to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These can range from a medical-grade skincare line to use at home, courses of professional treatments, and injectables carried out by a medical professional.
While it's not possible to prevent fine lines and wrinkles entirely, you can take steps to minimise their appearance such as using sunscreen, avoiding smoking, and following a healthy skincare routine.
While it's not possible to reverse the signs of ageing completely, there are various treatments and skincare products available that can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin.
Fine lines and wrinkles can begin to appear as early as a person's late 20s or early 30s, but their appearance and severity can vary depending on factors such as genetics and lifestyle habits.
Fine lines and wrinkles can be treated with a variety of cosmetic procedures, including Botox injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. Skincare products containing retinoids and antioxidants can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
