Wrinkles - Do You See Fine Lines

By: Amanda Beaty

As we age we look in the mirror and see new wrinkles in our skin for time to time. We think oh no a new wrinkle and wonder what to do about them. To have the proper knowledge to prevent or at least help control them we need to know what causes them first. So I will give you a little bit of background on what causes them before we examine what treatment to use for them.

The epidermis or top layer of skin becomes less dense with age. This occurs when the epidermal cells lose their ability to bond. This also causes the skin to retain less moisture. Production of these cells also slows down making it harder for the skin to repair itself. One of the many things that happen because of this is wrinkles. The epidermal is not the only layer that affects this though the dermal layer can also age.

The dermal layer decreases in thickness also. It has less collagen because of less being produced and the skin becomes less elastic. Lines and other conditions happen when this occurs in the dermal layer. The skin also dries because of less sebum being made in the sebaceous glands. We also have fewer sweat glands as we age which can cause dryness too.

There are plenty of over the counter solutions for wrinkles today. You can buy a cream to help erase them, or one to make the skin more firm, and there is actually creams that say they are for a facelift. Moisturizers are quite effective these days too with all the maximum strength ones out there. Consider applying one of the creams in place of more drastic solutions as performed by medical professionals.

You can go to a professional and get shots of botulinum toxin A this sometimes helps eliminate wrinkles at least temporarily. I shudder at the thought of needles though so I would probably not choose this for myself. You can get acid peels with glycolic acid if you that appeals to you. This can leave the face smooth after it heals from the peel. Whatever choice you make read material on it to make up your mind. The doctor and or location you choose should be researched on their credentials too.

Smoking should be avoided for the sake of your health and skin. The blood vessels constrict during smoking disabling the skin from getting correct oxygen. Carbon monoxide can increase due to smoking which makes the skin react badly. This can increase the amount of free radicals, which can cause the skin to age faster.
