As you grow older, some day you realize that all those years have not only added wisdom to your mind but also wrinkles, sagging and aging to your face. ‘Wrinkles’ is a common term used for lines and folds that start to appear on the skin in the late 20’s and early 30’s and increase with advancing age. The most common causes of aging are your genes, how you use your expressions, UV exposure, poor lifestyle habits and smoking.
Fine lines
Fine lines appear most commonly in dry skin or skin exposed to UV rays. These are best corrected by increasing the moisture in the skin and by building new collagen. Creams and serums containing Hyaluronic acid and collagen building peptides provide good improvement in early cases.
Chemical peels containing Retinoids and Pyruvic acid can reverse early cases. Mesotherapy, mesohyal and dermal fillers like Restylane Vital or Juvederm Refine give excellent long lasting results in advanced cases.
Most common areas for fine lines: Around the eyes, forehead.
Coarse Lines
Prolonged exposure to UV rays can severely disrupt the collagen and elastin in the skin. This leads to deep furrows in the skin usually along the expression lines. Coarse lines or wrinkles are a part of premature aging of the skin due to constant sun exposure commonly seen in fair skinned people, people residing in hilly regions and those having prolonged sun or UV exposure.
Deep wrinkles can be filled with dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane. Bioremodelling with Profhilo, face lifting with HIFU and PRP skin treatment are also very effective.
Most common areas for coarse lines: outer corner of the eyes, forehead, cheek area.
Expression lines
Expression lines are formed by over activity of aging facial muscles. As you grow older your facial muscles contract more than necessary. This causes lines between your eyebrows, across your forehead and at the sides of your eyes. These are commonly known as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet lines.
Wrinkles caused by expression are best corrected with the Botox treatment. Some improvement is possible with anti aging creams containing peptides and argireline that have a Botox like effect. If the lines become too deep then dermal fillers are needed in addition to Botox treatment.
Most common areas for expression lines: frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines.
Sagging and Folds
Folds appear due to sagging of skin. The nasolabial folds extend from the nose to the corner of the mouth. The mentolabial folds extend from corner of the mouth to the jaw line. The nasojugal fold extends from the inner corner of the eye on to the cheek.
Volume Restoration with dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane is ideal for these types of wrinkles. Microneedling with DMAE, stem cells, vitamin C and growth factors can help in tightening the sagging skin and improving the folds. Platelet Rich Plasma also gives excellent results. Face lifting with Ultherapy and Venus Freeze RF skin tightening also give permanent results.
Most common areas for folds: nasolabial area, Marionette area.
Volume loss
Volume loss is possibly the earliest sign of aging. Hollows beneath the inner eye; tear trough, flattening of the cheek-nose junction; mid-facial flattening or an oblique groove across the cheek; nasojugal deformity. These are evident usually after 28 yrs of age.
The best way to correct these is with volume replacing dermal fillers such as Juvederm Voluma.
Most common areas for volume loss: cheek area, lid-cheek junction, temples.
If you know want to delay aging or age gracefully without wrinkles, start planning your anti aging treatment early. I recommend my patients to discuss wrinkles, Botox and dermal filler treatments with me once a year after the age of 30. Timely correction of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging keeps my patients looking beautiful and naturally ageless.
