Fine lines are the beginning stage of wrinkles, appearing as small and shallow creases on the surface of your face. Wrinkles are deeper in the skin and more pronounced. They can appear anywhere on the body but are more prevalent on the face, neck and hands.
Fine lines and wrinkles are mainly caused by the following internal and external factors:
As the body goes through its natural aging process in the 30s and 40s, skin laxity is reduced and collagen production slows down. Natural facial movements such as speaking, eating and smiling cause creases in the skin. As you age, the skin doesn’t bounce back as easily, leading to more fine lines and wrinkles. Aging skin also becomes more dry and is slower to heal which contributes to wrinkles.
Facial movements such as smiling, squinting and frowning can cause wrinkles on your forehead, between your eyebrows and corners of your eyes (crown’s feet). As time passes, these movements along with gravity eventually lead to wrinkles and fine lines.
Certain daily habits such as sleeping facedown on a pillow can also cause wrinkles. Although they can disappear during the day, they can become permanent if the habit is long-term and your skin is not hydrated enough.
Excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and tanning beds damages the skin cells, leading to premature aging and accelerating wrinkle formation.
Regular exposure to air pollution, air conditioning and dry environments can lead to developing fine lines and wrinkles.
Smoking is also a major cause of developing fine lines and wrinkles, especially for younger people. This is because regular smoking breaks down collagen and reduces the skin’s elasticity, allowing wrinkles to form more easily.
The symptoms of melasma include:
Fine lines and wrinkles can be diagnosed through a visual examination by a doctor or dermatologist.
There are many treatments available for fine lines and wrinkles, depending on the patient’s age and severity. It’s recommended to start treatment at the first sign of fine lines to prevent them from deepening into wrinkles and becoming permanent.
Non-invasive facials and skin therapy treatments can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with minimal to zero downtime. We offer the following treatments:
Using dual, high-frequency ultrasound technology that delivers a micro-massage to the skin to improve the skin’s pH balance, this treatment is suitable to treat fine lines and wrinkles by promoting blood circulation and collagen cross-linking.
Cryotherapy is a popular treatment to reduce fine lines and wrinkles as it cools the skin, promoting firm skin and constricting blood vessels. The OZ Aesthetic Cryo Poreless Facial not only tightens the skin but also restores it to a more youthful condition to prevent fine lines from forming.
Using a naturally regenerative process to delay aging, the ACSE Exosome Skin Therapy helps to repair damaged skin and reduce wrinkles by using stem cell-derived exosomes.
Retinoids that contain ingredients such as retinol, adapalene, tazarotene and tretinoin and retinol aldehyde (Retin-A) improve your skin’s hydration and collagen levels to prevent and reduce lines and wrinkles. Check with your doctor to see if retinoid creams are suitable for your skin.
