What Causes Marionette Lines and Face Wrinkles?
Aging
There are anumber of factors that can cause facial wrinkles.
Genetics, age, climate, lifestyle, and diet cause wrinkles in the face, says Aguilar.
Diet
Diet plays a huge part in wrinkle formation.
Eating sugar can cause glycation to occur.
Glycation is caused when sugar molecules adhere to our collagen and elastin bundles and break them down.
In time we lose the ability to keep our skin firm.
Our face is also the first part of our body to wrinkle because of all the muscle expressions.
Expressions, talking, and eating cause wrinkles to form around the mouth.
These work to relax the lines and prevent new ones from forming, says Rypien.
Results can last up to 36 months.
These micro-injuries stimulate the bodys natural wound-healing process.
Tretinoin
Dr. Riyaz recommends a prescription-only form of vitamin A,Tretinoin.
The result is reduced fine lines and wrinkles and smoother skin texture.
SPF
The professionals all agree that a major component to facial wrinkle prevention isSPF.
She also recommends formulas withblue light filtersbecause of, “increased screen time contributing to aging as well.
Ahealthy dietcan play a crucial role in wrinkle prevention.
Also, ‘eat the rainbow,’ as they say, adds Dr. Riyaz.
They have both been shown to stimulate the synthesis of collagen and minimize fine lines and wrinkles.”
Plus, thehyaluronic acidis great for extra hydration.”
Bartolini also says that retinol is considered the gold standard of anti-aging ingredients.
“It improves the skins texture by increasing cell turnover and allowing new cells to generate.
Hyaluronic acid fillers, when injected correctly, can soften lines and replace lost facial volume, says Bartoloni.
It is important to note that Botox is never a need, just a want.
Wrinkles are a natural part of aging.
For some people, it’s in their 20s, and for others it may be 30s or 40s.
The answer to this question lies within the hands of the professional injecting you.
The face should always be evaluated and treated as a whole for the most natural, balanced results.
Time is on your side in this case.
The beauty of Botox is it is not permanent, says Aguilar.
If you are unhappy with filler, there are options depending on the severity.
For minor issues, a medical professional is often able to massage out any asymmetrical areas.
