Wrinkles – Turn Back Time with AgeFocus

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. - May 17, 2013 - PRLog -- With aging the skin droops and develops wrinkles, lines and furrows. The severity of these changes in an individual depends on genetic tendency, skin phototype (amount of pigment on the skin) and exposure to environmental factors.

Facial lines and wrinkles (rhytides) form because of the following factors:

- Aging processes
- Sun damage
- Muscle movement
- Gravity
- Injury
- Surgery
- Acne
- Other skin diseases with a tendency to scar (e.g. discoid lupus)
- Smoking

What can be done to help offset this?

1. Moisturizers

2. Anti-aging formulas (antioxidants, exfoliants, retinoids)

Resurfacing: chemical peels, dermabrasion and laser resurfacing. This laser treatment is the one that shows the most impressive results.  At AgeFocus we use the Palomar fractional laser (ablative and non-ablative).

3. Fillers

Allow for filling individual lines.

4. Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins are most useful for dynamic lines. It can be used to weaken the muscles that are responsible for frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines. It can also be used to change the shape of the eyebrows, to soften so-called smoker’s lines around the lips, and to reduce appearance of neck lines among other uses.
