What are the Types of Facial Wrinkles?

Wrinkles occur mainly on parts of the body that are exposed to the sun, such as the:

• Face;
• Neck;
• Back of the hands;
• Top of the forearms.

There are two types of wrinkles:

• Wrinkles that are due to facial expressions: these are fine lines located at the corner of the eyes and mouth. They appear in people who have thin skin and a wide smile.
• Wrinkles that are due to ageing: these result from the rupture of elastic fibres. The latter leads to the appearance of wrinkles that deepens gradually over time.

What causes Skin Ageing?

Some people age more quickly than others, and their skin experiences the onset of ageing signs earlier than usual. Several factors are explaining the appearance of wrinkles in the face:

Internal factors

Over the years, sebaceous and sudoriferous glands become less active and cell renewal slows down. As a result, the skin becomes less tense and the wrinkles widen. Besides, hormonal ageing is characterized by the decrease in collagen and elastin production that is the first responsible for skin elasticity.

External factors

The sun can be the main factor in the appearance of wrinkles given that the ultraviolet rays slow down the production of elastin. Added to that, stress, smoking, lack of sleep, and pollution are the first causes of the rapid appearance of wrinkles.

Which is better: Wrinkle fillers, Peeling or Laser?

The treatment of wrinkles in Istanbul, Turkey, can usually be performed by a professional (a dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon). The latter starts with a complete medical assessment and depends on the age of the patient and the area to be treated.

There are several methods of noninvasive skin care and different manners of treating skin ageing. Every method has its own benefits, and only the dermatologist is able to know what's the best treatment for you. Among the different techniques of wrinkle treatment, we can mention:

Wrinkle Fillers

Wrinkle fillers are synthetic substances (also called dermal fillers) that are completely harmless to the skin. They act on the cutaneous tissue and make it look youthful and lifted.

There are different type of filler treatments such as:

Hyaluronic acid injections

also called dermal fillers, they are a perfect treatment for any woman who wants to fight against skin ageing. The results of this treatment are satisfactory, immediate, and last for a long period of time.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite

Calcium Hydroxylapatite is a type of the calcium mineral that helps the body repair itself. It has been made more available for medical use, and can now be injected into the skin as a biocompatible dermal filler. 

Botox injections

also called botulinum toxin injections, these injections help smooth the facial wrinkles and get rid of sagging skin and crow's feet. They are mainly used to treat deep wrinkles and frown lines.

Botox and fillers are long-lasting solutions for both fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, these types of skin treatment have fewer side effects when compared to plastic surgery.

Chemical Peeling

Chemical peeling is a classic treatment that eliminates only superficial wrinkles. Expression wrinkles cannot be treated with this method.

Chemical exfoliation can be done through several methods and products such as:

• Glycolic Acid;
• Lactic Acid;
• Salicylic Acid;
• Enzymatic Scrub.

You should be aware that this type of treatment must only be done by a board certified dermatologist ( skin doctor ) or a plastic surgeon.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is an excellent treatment that can treat several problems at the same time. Indeed, it can solve the problem of brown spots in old women, wrinkles, and fine lines.
