Wrinkle Treatment

What Are Wrinkles and Why Do They Occur?

As the skin ages, it experiences a loss of elastin and collagen, which reduces its firmness and flexibility, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles. Additionally, repeated facial expressions over the years put pressure on the skin tissue, causing deep lines to form.

Main Causes of Wrinkles:

• Aging: Skin cells regenerate at a slower rate over time, and collagen and elastin production decreases.
• Facial Expressions: Repetitive movements, such as frowning, smiling, or squinting, can accelerate wrinkle formation, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
• Sun Exposure: UV rays damage the skin, accelerating the aging process and leading to premature wrinkles.
• Smoking and Alcohol Use: These habits damage the skin’s structure, leading to a loss of elasticity.
• Lack of Hydration: Dry skin can make wrinkles more pronounced and accelerate their formation.
• Genetic Factors: Individuals with a family history of early aging may develop wrinkles sooner.

While it is not possible to completely prevent wrinkles, modern aesthetic solutions can reduce their appearance and delay their formation.

How Is Wrinkle Treatment Performed?

Wrinkle treatment is determined based on the patient’s skin type and the severity of their wrinkles. The treatments aim to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness, radiance, and elasticity for a more youthful look.

Wrinkle Treatment Methods:

• Botulinum Toxin Injections: Temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.
• Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers help smooth deep wrinkles and restore lost volume.
• Laser Treatments: Resurfaces the skin’s top layer, reducing wrinkles and evening out skin tone.
• Radiofrequency and Microneedling (Golden Needle) Therapy: Stimulates collagen production in the deeper skin layers, promoting tighter and firmer skin.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Mesotherapy: Uses the body’s own growth factors to rejuvenate the skin and reduce wrinkles.
• Chemical Peels and Skin Care Treatments: Removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture, and enhances skin radiance.

Wrinkle Treatment Process and Results

• Personalized Assessment: The patient’s facial structure is evaluated, and the most suitable treatment plan is created.
• Session Planning: The treatment is applied in sessions, depending on the severity of the wrinkles.
• Results: The skin begins to appear smoother and more youthful after the first session. For optimal results, completing the recommended treatment plan and following a regular skincare routine is essential.
