Overview

What are the Signs of Facial Aging?

Do you have Wrinkles? Crow’s feet? Smoker’s lines? The fine details of one’s face are sometimes the most important cue to the person’s age.
The collagen and elastin support network begins to break down in your 40’s. As your skin becomes dryer,lines and wrinkles become more prominent. The blood flow begins to slow down, leaving your skin with less of a blush. Sun damage, tobacco use, overall health and genetics can contribute to these processes. Skin thins, and redness and spider vessels and matting become common. Age spots and discoloration appear (dyschromia).

Once in your 50’s, the new cell production decreases. Wrinkle formation increases as your skin retains less water, which increases the wrinkle formation. At the same time the underlying fat cells in your face shrink and your excess skin begins to sag.Treatments can be combined to achieve best results

Do You Smoke?

Smoking can cause increased lines and aging to your skin. Smoking can seriously dry out your skin, making it red and cracked and giving it a dull, grey appearance. Smoking won’t make you look just a couple of years older; it will make you look old. The reason why is that smoking impedes and/or destroys collagen formation, and the collagen is necessary to make your skin soft and supple. That’s part of the reason why female smokers are three times as likely to have moderate to severe wrinkling as female non-smokers. … What happens is that the tobacco smoke and toxins destroy the collagen and vascularity in the skin.
