Why is it that practically everyone in the middle class to the upper
levels of demographics in any country are worried about getting
wrinkles? Maybe it's the fear of getting old or looking old, or the
wanting to look socially acceptable, or just plain vanity. We all have
our own reasons. But whatever it is, everyone is united in wanting to
solve this age old problem. However, in the first place, do we even
have any idea about what actually causes these dreaded wrinkles? It's
highly probable that we don't. The most important factor in finding a
solution to any problem is finding out the root cause of it.

As we age, our body undergoes various changes, and so does our skin.
In our skin, we have tissues known as collagen and elastin. These
tissues are mainly responsible for making our skin firm and
stretchable. As we grow older, the amount of collagen and elastin in
our skin naturally diminishes. As a result, our skin becomes less
elastic and weaker, thus creating "wrinkles". Experts say that the
amount of wrinkles that a person will develop through the years also
depends on the genetic make up of this individual. However, smoking,
sun exposure, dry skin, and repetitive facial expressions and
mannerisms such as frowning, can all enhance the creation of wrinkles
that may or may not be permanently present.

Over the years, beauty experts and skin doctors have come up with a
vast array products to treat and minimize wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle
creams and ointments help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and
prevent new ones from forming. These wrinkle ointments and anti-aging
creams help a lot in restoring the skin's firmness and elasticity. In
addition, these products contain anti-oxidants and retinol that not
only aids in reducing wrinkles and fine lines on the skin, but also
stimulates collagen production.

For people seeking solutions to severe damage that has already been
done to the skin, there are a number of treatments available ranging
from chemical peels and dermabrasion to the latest and technologically
advanced, computerized laser resurfacing. However, many people looking
for skin repair are hesitant to try chemical or laser peels due to the
painful procedure and long recuperation period they have to undergo.
The results of these procedures however, are fantastic.

One less painful procedure is the particle skin resurfacing procedure.
Dr. John Studd MD, plastic surgeon at the Hale clinic explains " The
process is removes the outer layer of skin in a highly controlled
manner. Because of its preciseness, it is practically painless. By
repeating this procedure a number of times, the younger skin moves to
the surface, thus promoting visible changes in the skin's texture,
color and appearance. The benefits of this skin resurfacing procedure
are that it causes very little pain or discomfort, no recuperative
period is needed, there is minimal risk, it can be used for all skin
types, and no anesthesia is required. "

The important thing to remember when seeking out treatment for your
wrinkles is to know first how your body can possibly react to the
treatment. Get in touch with a skin doctor for things that you are not
sure of, but are contemplating on trying out.
