Wrinkles

About Wrinkles

Wrinkles are lines or creases that appear on the surface of the skin and are a natural part of aging. However, certain factors can increase wrinkles, such as excess sun exposure, smoking, dry skin, dehydrated skin, inflamed skin, improper skin care, genetics, pollution, hormone imbalances, certain diseases, and repeated facial movements. Wrinkles are caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. These fibers give the skin firmness and elasticity.

Treating Wrinkles | My Approach:

My holistic approach to addressing wrinkles is to protect the skin from excess sun exposure, focus on anti-oxidants through diet and supplements that combat pollution and sun exposure, a tailored skin care routine, addressing dry and/or dehydrated skin inside and out, balancing and supporting hormones, addressing underlying diseases that lead to accelerated drying and aging of skin, and doing microneedling with platelet rich plasma treatments (PRP). Microneedling with PRP encourages increased collagen production which reduces wrinkles.
