What is a Wrinkle?

Wrinkles are lines or creases that form on your skin over time. They’re a natural part of the aging process, but factors like sun exposure, smoking, and pollution can accelerate their appearance. Wrinkles can vary in depth, from fine lines to deeper creases.

What is a Wrinkle?

Intrinsic Aging: As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s elasticity and firmness. This decline in collagen and elastin leads to the formation of wrinkles.

Extrinsic Factors:

Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun break down collagen and elastin, causing premature aging and wrinkles.
Smoking: Smoking constricts blood vessels, reduces oxygen and nutrient delivery to the skin, and accelerates the aging process.
Pollution: Environmental pollutants can damage skin cells and contribute to wrinkle formation.
Facial Expressions: Repeated facial movements, like smiling or frowning, can lead to the development of dynamic wrinkles.

Wrinkle Treatment Overview

While wrinkles are a normal part of aging, there are various treatments available to reduce their appearance. The best treatment option depends on the type and severity of wrinkles, as well as individual preferences and skin type. It’s essential to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable approach for you.

1. Topical Treatments

Retinoids: Derived from vitamin A, retinoids stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They come in both prescription and over-the-counter forms.

Vitamin C: This antioxidant helps protect the skin from damage, boosts collagen synthesis, and brightens the complexion.

2. Laser Treatments

Resurfacing Lasers: Fractional erbium glass lasers are popular for treating fine lines. They create microscopic holes in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.

3. Botox and Filler Injections

Botox: Botox is a popular non-surgical treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It’s derived from the botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by bacteria. When injected into specific muscles, Botox temporarily paralyzes them, preventing the underlying skin from wrinkling.

How Botox Helps with Wrinkles

Relaxation of Muscles: Botox blocks nerve signals to the injected muscles, causing them to relax.
Prevention of Wrinkle Formation: By preventing muscle contractions, Botox helps prevent the deepening of dynamic wrinkles, those caused by facial expressions like frowning or smiling.
Smoother Skin: As the muscles relax, the overlying skin appears smoother and less wrinkled.

Botox is most effective for treating dynamic wrinkles, such as:

Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
Between-the-brow lines (frown lines)

It’s important to note that Botox is a temporary solution, and results typically last for 3-6 months. Multiple treatments may be needed to maintain desired results.

4. Filler Injections

Hyaluronic acid fillers: These are the most common type of filler, made from a substance naturally found in the body.
Calcium
hydroxylapatite fillers: These provide longer-lasting results and are often used for deeper lines and volume restoration.

Since being in the sun causing freckle, dark spotted which unavoidable, so I have to take care of my skin instead of trade off my entire favorite things in “having fun in the sun”. After ‘aurora laser” treatment at Radiance Skin Clinic, I get to do what I want and still able to take care of my sensitive skin.

Nanlika Thanasannont

I have problem with freckles and dark spotted before my skin treatments at radiance skin clinic. I have been a patient here for approximately a year now and I am very happy with my lighter clear skin from dark spotted from sun damaged. I am not a “cream and lotion person” so laser skin treatments seems to be a perfect solution for me.

Suthirak Sarikavanich

I have personally known Dr. Kittisak for a long time so I always realize he is the expert in the laser field. Once I saw him, the first impression was with his complexion, which is very healthy and glow. This reflects how skillful and careful he is in maintaining good skin. Moreover, he gave clear advices meeting my demands. I have wanted tightened pores as well as quick and effective results. That’s why he recommended the Fine Scan and EMAX lasers. Only after one treatment, I felt that my skin became healthier and younger.
