Normal Skin Layers
Chronological Aging and Wrinkles
Normal Skin Layers
The skin is made up of 3 layers - the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.
Epidermis
It is the outer layer and functions as a barrier to the external environment. The cells of the epidermis, keratinocytes, move from the bottom layer of the epidermis to the top layer building up a large amount of keratin and developing a tough outer shell. Once these cells reach the top layer, they flake off. If this process becomes abnormal the skin can look scaly.
Dermis
This is the second layer of skin. which contains the structural elements of the skin, the connective tissue. Tissue (collagen) gives the skin its strength, proteins called glycosaminoglycans give the skin its turgor, and elastin fibers give the skin its elasticity or spring.
Dermal-Epidermal Junction
The junction between the dermis and the epidermis is an important structure. The cells of the epidermis receive their nutrients from the blood vessels in the dermis. The rete ridges increase the surface area of the epidermis that is exposed to these blood vessels and the needed nutrients.
Subcutaneous Tissue
This bottom layer of skin containing fat cells. These fat cells provide insulation to the body and make the skin look plump or full.
Chronological Aging and Wrinkles
As a person ages the epidermal cells become thinner and less sticky. The thinner cells make the skin look noticeably thinner. The decreased stickiness of the cells decreases the effectiveness of the barrier function allowing moisture to be released instead of being kept in the skin. This causes dryness. The number of epidermal cells decreases by 10% per decade and they divide more slowly as we age making the skin less able to repair itself quickly.
The effects of aging on the dermal layer are significant. Not only does the dermal layer thin, but also less collagen is produced, and the elastin fibers that provide elasticity wear out. These changes in the scaffolding of the skin cause the skin to wrinkle and sag. Also, sebaceous glands get bigger but produce less sebum, and the number of sweat glands decreases. Both of these changes lead to skin dryness.
Treatment For Facial Wrinkle
Treatment for facial wrinkles are usually performed in the office setting which is convenient, private, and safe for persons who desire therapy. Your health, in conjunction with the appropriate therapy to achieve your goals, is given full consideration by your Facial Plastic Surgeon prior to the any decision to undertake specific treatment. However, very few individual health problems would limit the use of these therapies due to their minimally-invasive methods of application. Your concerns and any medical requirements for each facial wrinkle therapy will be part of the consultation with your surgeon.
Anti wrinkle treatment can be used in specific muscles and depending on how thick or strong the muscles are, a specific dosage will be required. It is most effective for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles on movement). Anti wrinkle treatment is less effective on static wrinkles.
Skin Peel (chemical peels, glycolic acid peels)
Skin peels are ideal for anyone who wants to reduce their sun damage, fine lines, shallow acne scars, dry or rough skin, dull skin tone, hyper pigmentation, acne and enlarged pores. Skin peels, of various strengths. work by dissolving the outermost layer of skin and reducing the depth of the troughs within the skin that cause wrinkles. They can smooth out even deep pits with a course of applications, appropriately spaced out.
Skin peels for acne are also quite popular and the peel works to remove the outer epidermis and also removes the oil-filled pore. At darmaskin clinic We have had great results for chemical peels for acne.
