Common Signs of Aging Skin
While we all age at different rates depending on several factors, for example, genetics and diet, there are four common signs of aging.
1. Loss of Elasticity
As we age we stop producing collagen at the same rate. This in turn affects the elasticity leaving us with saggy skin as we age.
2. Loss of Hydration
The sebaceous glands in the skin are not as active as we age. This loss of hydration manifests itself through a dull, sallow appearance, crepey skin, and fine lines.
3. Hyperpigmentation
Environmental factors as well as other pollutants and oxidants in the air cause aging in general. These environmental factors can also contribute to hyperpigmentation which can cause an aged appearance to the skin.
4. Thin Skin
The thickness of the skin changes as well with aging. The skin thins out as a result of the deficiencies in collagen and hydration.
How can I improve my aging skin?
When it comes to the best treatment for aging skin, phototherapy is amazing because these treatments do not cause superficial damage to the skin. The light energy penetrates directly to the collagen cells.
More specifically, IPL phototherapy consists of irradiating the target with pulsed visible radiation. As a result, the targeted area is heated above body temperature which causes the proteins to coagulate. Because the target absorbs the radiation much more strongly than the surrounding tissue, this surrounding tissue is almost not heated at all.
