Our skin is living proof that change is inevitable. Although our skin is vulnerable to environmental and internal factors, we may take care of it to prolong its youthful appearance.
What Time Does to Your Face
Causes of skin changes associated with aging include:
Direct contact with sunlight (photoaging)
Progression of age naturally
Gravity
Bad diet
Pollutants in the environment
Stress from the dry air and changing sleeping arrangements
The longer these variables affect our skin, the more sagging, dehydration, dark spots, and wrinkles occur. The three layers of skin and how they change as we age is something you’ll study in depth during your time as an esthetician. There is a correlation between a loss of muscle tone and a sagging appearance of the skin due to a diminished thickness of the epidermis There may be a paling or thinning of the skin. Sun or liver spots can appear in regions where the skin has been affected by the sun. Facial wrinkles and sagging skin are direct results of declining collagen levels, which cause the skin to lose its flexibility. As sebum production decreases, your skin will be unable to adequately supply the moisture it needs for optimal health. The breakdown of elastin in the skin after years of sun exposure leads to skin stretching and sagging.
Anti-Aging Methods Based on Medical Aesthetics
Botox and dermal filler courses teach students how to reverse the effects of aging through several non-invasive cosmetic procedures. Neurotoxins (Botox) and dermal fillers are two of the most used anti-aging procedures. Botox injections are used to prevent signals from reaching the muscles of the nerves. Because of this, muscle activity slows down. Botulinum toxin, when injected into problem regions such as the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, can temporarily reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and prevent further lines from emerging. When fat pads and bone density decline, fillers are utilized to restore volume to the affected areas. A dermal filler injection can be placed in an “off-label” region, such as the nose. Age-related sagging can be treated using this method.
