Getting older is a natural process that happens to everyone. But that doesn’t mean we have to like it! One of the most frustrating things about growing older is the appearance of wrinkles. These pesky lines can make us look tired, angry, and generally older than we feel. Fortunately, modern technologies have given us a number of options for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and giving our skin a more youthful appearance. Laser rejuvenation treatment in Ottawa is one of the most popular methods for reducing wrinkles. This treatment uses laser technology to target specific areas of the skin. Wrinkles and creases have actually been categorized into six different types.
Types of wrinkles
Expression Lines
Facial muscles are attached to skin tissue while other muscles attach to bones. When we show emotions, the muscles beneath the skin contract and expand, creating creases and dynamic lines. As we repeat these expressions, they become more permanent and develop crow’s feet around the eyes, lines between the eyebrows, and around the outside of the mouth.
Elastic Wrinkles
Elastin, which helps the skin return to its place in our body, disappears over time. Overexposure to UV rays from spending time outdoors without sunscreen will damage the collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure to the skin. Then we start to notice tiny creases on the cheeks, upper lip, and neck. Diet and poor skincare regimens also contribute to these lines. Exfoliating peels will help combat the appearance of these wrinkles and allow you to reveal the younger skin underneath.
Gravitational Folds
Gravity causes the skin to sag and folds over itself. This is particularly noticeable on the lower face in the jowl area and around the eyes and brows.
Dry Wrinkles
Epidermal glands that secrete oil will begin to shrink over time, and the amount of oil available to keep our skin moisturized decreases. That will result in parallel lines and a dry texture to the skin, especially on the forehead and decolletage.
Compression Lines
When you awaken from a night of sleep, there are many tiny pleats from where your face has pressed into the pillow. Unless you take some action, the lines will begin staying on your face, neck, and chest well into your day.
Crinkle Lines
Atrophic Crinkling Rhytids are those fine lines on the neck and eyelids. While you may notice them, they will disappear as the skin is stretched taut. They are caused by the loss of elasticity and collagen fibres, mostly from exposure to UV rays and the natural ageing process.
Wrinkles treatments
There are many available treatments for these lines and wrinkles. One of the most popular is laser rejuvenation treatment in Ottawa, which can help to stimulate new collagen growth. This treatment can also be combined with others, such as fillers and Ottawa botox, to give you the best results.
