The Ultimate Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Unfortunately, wrinkles are a natural part of the skin’s aging process. Unless you’ve found the ‘Youth Potion’ ala ‘Death Becomes Her,’ aging will occur in almost every human body tissue and at similar rates. You will not be exempt, but we have the ULTIMATE QUEEN of anti-wrinkle treatments available to help you on your quest for youth! And, of course, like all of our treatments – it is backed by science.
Why Do Wrinkles Occur?
Two main factors contribute to wrinkle formation. They are both intrinsic (meaning WE cause them) and extrinsic (meaning external factors can cause them).
Intrinsic:
As we age, our skin becomes less elastic and drier as we lose facial fat and produce fewer elastin and collagen fibres in the deeper layers. These fibres give our skin strength, flexibility, and suppleness. When our skin loses its flexibility, it can no longer ‘spring back’ into form. This process alone will cause wrinkles, lines, creases, and sagging skin.
Repeated facial movements and expressions also lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Forehead lines are caused by our elevating muscles, and crow’s feet lines are caused by smiling or squinting. As these muscles are activated, small grooves form beneath the surface of the skin, deepening over time with continued use.
Extrinsic:
Sun exposure is the most harmful (and preventable!) external factor that speeds up wrinkle formation. UV light breaks down collagen fibres and creates abnormal elastin production. As your skin tries to heal from sun damage, your damaged collagen forms disorganised fibres (called solar elastosis). When your skin rebuilds multiple times after sun exposure, wrinkles will begin to develop.
Smoking has been shown to reduce the rate at which collagen is produced. Slower production of collagen = wrinkle formation.
Pollutants in the air can also cause wrinkles by causing collagen to break down as they enter your skin’s pores. The most common pollutants that cause wrinkles are soot (like vehicle exhaust dust), dirt, smoke, and nitrogen dioxide (found in construction sites and in gardening equipment).
The most comprehensive, long-term Anti-wrinkle treatment!!
Are you ready for this?
Skin needling or micro-needling is the absolute superhero anti-wrinkle treatment. And as the treatment elicits your wound healing response, it makes it the safest anti-wrinkle treatment out there.
Skin needling involves the use of multiple controlled micro-punctures in the skin. These micro-wounds stimulating fibroblasts to kick-start new collagen and elastin production while reorganising the old collagen fibres. Skin needling literally remodels your deeper skin layers. With repeated processes, the increase in collagen and elastin in the skin can increase by up to 400%, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing skin, and increasing the thickness and elasticity of the skin. Long-term treatments equate to Anti-Wrinkle GOLD.
Up the Anti-Wrinkle…
The effects of skin needling and its anti-wrinkle properties are further enhanced when combined with topical serums, PRP or Exosomes. This is because the active ingredients can penetrate far deeper into your skin due to the microchannels created by the skin-needling device.
Ingredients such as Retinol, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides can be infused to boost your anti-wrinkle treatment.
Infusing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) also has anti-wrinkle properties. It boosts the skin’s collagen production, leaving it more elastic, blemish-free, and tighter.
Exosome treatments can regulate multiple cellular processes due to their essential role in cellular communication. In doing this, they can stimulate collagen production in photoaged skin and reduce the appearance of pigmentation, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
So, there you have it. The complete Anti-Wrinkle Treatment not only changes your skin’s structure and has long-lasting results backed by Science!
