The signs of skin aging are most noticeable on the face and neck, where the skin is thinner and more vulnerable to external environmental factors.
As a result of age-related changes, the skin in these areas becomes more delicate and loses elasticity, reflecting changes in lifestyle and health.
In this material, we will discuss the process of skin aging and offer effective solutions to make this process slower and more manageable.
First, let us note that the main factors of skin aging are divided into two groups: internal and external.
Internal Factors
Genetics
The speed and manifestations of skin aging are significantly influenced by genetic factors, depending on specific genetic traits.
Decrease in Collagen and Elastin Levels
Collagen and elastin are the main proteins responsible for the skin’s elasticity and strength. With age, the production of these proteins decreases, causing the skin to lose its strength, become thinner, and more prone to wrinkle formation.
Slowing Metabolism
As we age, our metabolism slows down, which also affects the process of skin cell regeneration.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal changes and a drop in estrogen levels during menopause in women can lead to a decrease in skin elasticity and accelerate the aging process.
External Factors
Environmental Factors
UV rays, air pollution, and climate changes damage the skin’s collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
Harmful Habits and Irregular Lifestyle
Smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, stress, poor sleep patterns, and lack of proper skincare also contribute to the acceleration of the skin aging process.
A Few Tips to Prevent Premature Skin Aging
Healthy Diet and Proper Sleep․Consuming foods rich in vitamins A, C, E, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Including antioxidant-rich foods such as cherries, berries, and pomegranates in your diet.
Drinking enough water.
Proper and Consistent At-Home Skincare
Daily use of sunscreen.
Using serums containing antioxidants (vitamins C and E).
Incorporating retinoids to promote collagen production and skin regeneration.
Applying moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid.
Professional Skin Care
Long-term rejuvenating or anti-aging results can be achieved by working on the deeper layers of the skin where collagen resides.
The Imsirun facial care packages include the Frax laser procedure, which has a rejuvenating effect by promoting collagen synthesis in skin layers up to 1.5 mm deep.
Note: From the age of 25, the collagen level in the skin decreases by 1% annually.
Our goal with the Imsirun packages is to restore collagen levels to some extent, providing the longest possible results without requiring a recovery period.
