Skin aging, which is a visible indicator of aging, has become more evident and important as life expectancy increases. Nowadays, women and men want to see themselves younger and more beautiful.
Skin aging is a process. Internal and external factors play a role in skin aging. What we inherit from our parents and our age, that is, our genetic inheritance and biological clock, are internal factors in our skin aging. Although it is not possible to prevent or delay this step for now, it is possible to reduce and delay the effects of external factors that are more responsible for skin aging. Among the external factors that play a role in skin aging, environmental factors and our lifestyle are important. These include sunlight, smoking, air pollution, alcohol consumption, our eating and sleeping habits, and stress. The most important factor responsible for skin aging is sun rays. This process is called photoaging. Photoaging is long-lasting and is evident on the hands and face that are constantly exposed to the sun.
As we age, our skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity. Because collagen and elastic fibers that keep the skin taut decrease with age. With the contribution of photoaging and oxidative damage, the signs of aging on our skin become more evident. Signs of skin aging are most seen on the face, neck and hands. Things to do for a healthy and young facial skin are collected under the title of "fascial rejuvenation". Fascial rejuvenation aims to reduce wrinkles, tighten loose skin, reduce sunspots, improve skin color and tone, and treat damaged skin vessels.
What to do varies depending on the person's age and the degree of skin damage. In mild cases, anti-aging creams, superficial chemical peeling, non-ablative lasers, fillers, botox applications, PRP and stem cell injections are used, while in more advanced skin aging, radiofrequency and fractional ablative lasers are additionally used.
