What are the Signs of Aging?

Loss of subdermal fat:

In the cheeks, temples, chin, nose, and eye area. This may result in loose skin and sunken eyes.

Loss of bone:

Around the chin and mouth may cause puckering of skin around the mouth. Moreover, loss of cartilage may cause the nasal tip to droop.

Reduced elasticity:

Leads to sagging skin, drooping eyebrows and eyelids, double chin, and longer ear lobes.

Prominent facial movement lines:

On the forehead, temples, upper cheeks, and around the mouth. This happens because the skin loses moisture, elastin, and collagen. Sleep creases may also become more visible.

Melanocytes or pigment cells cluster together to form age spots:

In fact, age spots appear on areas of the skin that have maximum sun exposure.

Reduced natural moisture:

Causes the skin to dry out. This may be worsened by sun damage and decreased cell activity.

The buildup of dead skin cells:

Causes your skin to appear dull. The skin renewal process reduces by 7% every 10 years, reducing the new cell production.

The rate of cell production reduces:

In the lower epidermal layer. This results in thin skin which is prone to wrinkles.

Blood vessel walls become weaker:

Which results in easy breakage and bruising.
The skin has a protein called collagen. This protein plays an important role in tightening the skin and keeping it wrinkle-free. However, the natural aging process along with sun exposure and pollution damages collagen which results in the development of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and so on.

Anti Aging Treatment Methods

There are various treatments to correct premature signs of aging that depend on your skin type, the severity of the issue, and the area that needs to be treated. The dermatologist after a thorough assessment of your condition will suggest which treatment method works best for you.
However, it is important to combine them with a healthy diet and regular exercise for the best results. Some of the treatment modalities are:

Laser Therapy:

Laser anti-aging treatments are the latest development in the field. Light is used to repair and regenerate damaged skin. Along with skin lightening, lasers also help in providing an even tone, lightens scars, and reduces wrinkles. Laser therapy reduces inflammation in the skin and improves blood circulation. Thus, laser therapy keeps your skin looking lighter, younger, and firmer. Some of the common types of lasers used include CO2 laser, Erbium laser, fractional laser, pulsed-dye laser, intense pulsed light, and Q-switched Nd:Yag laser.

Who should try this?

The laser is a popular anti-aging treatment in Pune, and it’s suitable for people who want to treat signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin issues that are a result of growing older. You can even opt for laser treatments that promote collagen production, skin elasticity, and reduce age spots.

Fractional CO2 Laser Therapy:

Fractional CO2 laser is a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure that is most effective for depressed scars and uneven skin. It is also very effective against wrinkles, enlarged pores, sagging skin, and aids in skin rejuvenation.

Who should try this?

Ideal candidates for this anti-aging treatment would be those who have superficial wrinkles or fine lines around the mouth, eyes, or on the forehead. It is also a great treatment for people who have shallow scars, as a result of acne. This treatment should be avoided for stretch marks or active acne.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL):

IPL delivers a light emission which causes coagulation and evacuation of blood vessels beneath the skin surface. This stimulates collagen production, which tightens skin as well as reduces fine lines and wrinkles. IPL also corrects hyperpigmentation. Dermatologists usually recommend one to five sessions of this therapy for the best results.

Who should try this?

This is one of the best treatments for wrinkles on the face and it’s suitable for patients who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines, inflammation, pigmentation, and other signs of aging.

Photofacial:

This technique helps in reversing the  effects of aging, such as wrinkles, spots, or changes in skin texture. The procedure involves the use of intense pulsed light, lasers, or photodynamic therapy to induce controlled wounds on the skin that stimulate the growth of new cells.

Who should try this?

This anti-aging treatment is great for people who have wrinkles or blotchy, sun-damaged, or hyperpigmented skin. The process is quick and doesn’t have any downtime, which is great for candidates who have a busy schedule.

Dermal Fillers:

Injectable facial fillers are gels and other agents that are injected into the skin at different depths to provide facial volume, augment facial features, and restore a smoother appearance. The compounds that are used include collagen and gelatin matrix.

Who should try this?

Patients who opt for Dermal Fillers should be physically healthy. This means they should not smoke or drink alcohol and have to follow a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a nutritious diet. They also need to be patient because the results can take some time, especially when it comes to improving the appearance. Avoid fillers if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a sinus infection.

Micro-Needling Radiofrequency:

In this procedure, tiny needles are inserted into the skin and high intensity radiofrequency is released onto the target tissue to stimulate collagen production and tighten the tissue. This helps in combating the effects of aging.

Who should try this?

The ideal candidate for this anti-wrinkle treatment should have issues like wrinkles, fine lines, sun-damaged skin, uneven skin texture, ace scars, large pores, loose skin, and hyperpigmentation. This treatment is great for patients who are looking to tighten and firm up their skin.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:

This is usually recommended as an add-on therapy after laser or other anti-aging therapies for the best possible results. The patient’s blood is introduced back into the skin to stimulate the regeneration of skin cells and collagen.

Who should try this?

This treatment is suitable for candidates who have aging skin problems like uneven skin tone, acne scars, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, deep-set wrinkles, and so on. The facial helps increase the collagen production in the skin and decrease the visible signs of aging.

Chemical Peels:

Various agents like acids are used to dissolve the scarred dead skin and expose the new cells beneath. Chemical peels help in the regeneration of new skin cells. They are of three types: mild, moderate, and strong. After a chemical peel, you require some time for recovery. Chemical peels are mostly safe if done by experts. However, mild side-effects such as irritation, redness, and peeling of the skin are common.

Who should try this?

This is ideal for candidates who have a fair complexion. Glycolic chemical peels are great for people who want to boost collagen and want to exfoliate their skin.

Ultherapy:

This is a noninvasive procedure to produce the effects of a face-lift using non-ionizing ultrasonic radiation to heat tissue. They stimulate the production of collagen as well as stimulate the formation of new blood vessels, giving your skin a rosy glow.

Who should try this?

This sound therapy is an anti-aging treatment that is suitable for patients who want to reduce loose skin and wrinkles, along with tightening sagging skin.

Vitamin A / Retinoids:

Retinoids are recommended for age-spots as well as to soften wrinkles and fine lines.

Who should try this?

Retinoids anti-wrinkle cream works great for people who have fine lines and wrinkles because it stimulates collagen production and blood circulation, which improves skin tone and fades age spots. It also enhances skin texture by smoothening the skin.
