Skin elasticity (of which you can endlessly hear treatments that improve it) is the skin's ability to stretch and return to its place. Loss of elasticity causes the skin to look sagging and create wrinkles. Areas exposed to the sun such as the face, neck, décolleté and hands may lose elasticity faster than other areas (solar elastosis), but with age the elasticity of the skin decreases over its entire surface as a result of reduced production. of collagen and elastin fibers of subcutaneous connective tissue.
In addition to the signs that come naturally from the aging process, the process of losing elasticity is also influenced by a number of external factors called environmental factors as well as lifestyle. These factors include the sun exposure mentioned above, environmental pollution, poor food diet, smoking, sudden and pronounced weight loss, etc.
In addition to avoiding the above factors, you can add to your diet products containing antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, carotenoids or take supplements based on collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, and also use topically (in the form of serum or cream ) dermocosmetic products containing hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and retinol.
Even the beginning of the autumn season is the right moment to introduce in your routine products with retinol content (derivatives of Vit.A). For the best percentage and product for your skin, consult your dermatologist or pharmacist.
Dermo-aesthetic treatments like PRP (plasma injections), chemical and mechanical peels, laser equipment like FRAXEL, and radiofrequency like THERMAGE can help you with higher efficiency, faster but also longer lasting in improving elasticity and slowing down the signs of aging . The dermatologist will determine and apply the appropriate scheme tailored to your skin, based on scientific protocols. While plastic surgery-scalpel is undoubtedly the form with the most visible effects in rejuvenating the appearance of the face and remodeling body shapes. Thanks to the removal of excess skin, aged and inelastic remodels the appearance and gives rapid changes to it. But as I mentioned, through surgery only the excess skin is removed and what remains is just as inelastic and aged as before. In addition surgery has higher cost and much longer recovery time than minimally invasive non-surgical treatments (PRP, mesotherapy, PDO threads, peeling, laser, radiofrequency). Therefore the latter are advised to be performed periodically, by certified specialized doctors.
