Facial Wrinkles Prevention Tips

By: Steven McCarthy What causes facial wrinkles? Of course the #1 culprit behind fine lines and wrinkles is the sun and its skin damaging UV rays. Other contributing factors come naturally with age as our bodies produce less elasticin and collagen. In addition, we undergo cumulative stress and hormonal changes.

Today there are many reports reminding us that sunscreen will help prevent wrinkles. "Stop smoking, eat healthy, exercise, get your vitamin A and E," researchers tell us. However, the depleted ozone Layer, harmful UV rays and skin cancer weren't always in the forefront of our imagination, and these beauty tips weren't always stressed so fervently. As a result, many people in their thirties and forties are paying for past mistakes. The good news is that there are a number of products and procedures that can get rid of facial wrinkles.

A new Good Skin Labs product developed in Europe called Tri-Aktiline has done very well in recent clinical trials. Data shows that 68% of the women noticed an immediate filling of facial wrinkles and 83% reported significant improvements within a month. The formula is especially designed to remove deeper wrinkles, but smoothes the skin enough to erase crow's feet and fine lines.

Extracts from the South American acmella oleraca plant relax facial tension and expression lines, while Kombuchka Ph extracts from sweet black tea plump the skin's under layer, and the naturally derived peptide, Argireline, boosts natural collagen production. Wrinkles of the face are further removed by a combination of shea butter, avocado, optical diffusers and matte silicones. Wrinkle fillers like Tri-Aktiline run about $40/ounce.

For more persistent wrinkles and telltale signs of aging, there are collagen fillers done via injection. This relatively inexpensive procedure will cost an average of $300, but generally needs to be redone two or three times per year to maintain maximum efficiency. In some cases, the collagen stimulates the body's natural processes and less maintenance is required.

Since 1981 collagen injections have been used successfully to treat facial skin imperfections due to excessive sun damage and the natural aging process to rejuvenate the skin and give a younger healthier appearance. There are other uses for collagen in the medical field such as increasing joint mobility, facial reconstructive surgery and in treating severe burns. A naturally occurring protein collagen is found beneath the epidermis and amounts to 75% of our skin structure. As we get older it tend's to start breaking down leading to fine lines and the wrinkles. A treatment with collagen injections will usually take about an hour.

Doctors use either bovine-based or human-based collagen that has undergone a purification process. The anesthesia Lidocaine is mixed in with the collagen so patients don't feel a thing. After 30 to 60 minutes, the procedure is done and the patient is free to go. Results show up once the swelling goes down. Cosmetic surgery is not covered under health insurance plans, but most surgeons offer financing plans for any budget. Compared to Botox injections, collagen is more flexible and is said to be much more natural looking.

Collagen injections have been used cosmetically since 1981 to treat facial skin imperfections associated with aging or to create enhanced, fuller lips. There are also medical uses that restore joint mobility, accompany facial reconstruction or treat severe burns. Collagen itself is a naturally occurring protein located beneath the epidermis that comprises 75% of our skin and is the basis for our skin's support structure. Over time, it generally breaks down, resulting in lines and wrinkles. Done in just a few hours, injections are one of the most popular wrinkle treatments out there.
