Aging is a natural process that everyone goes through and is the result of a gradual weakening of physical and mental functions. Many friends want to stay young and have made a lot of efforts to do so, but the results are not particularly good. Lu Jie, director of Chongqing Xingchen Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Department, said that if you want to stay young, it is important to understand aging and choose the right method.
Symptoms of aging
Skin function begins to degrade, elastic fibers gradually become thicker, skin becomes sagging, and wrinkles appear. At the same time, the functions of sebaceous glands and sweat glands also begin to decline, and the skin becomes prone to dryness. As age increases, the total collagen content decreases, and the recovery ability of elastic fibers weakens, resulting in skin thinning, sagging, decreased elasticity, and poor support, forming fine lines, looming tear troughs and nasolabial folds, and pores becoming enlarged, My skin tone also started to look dull.
Causes of aging
The causes of aging can be roughly divided into endogenous aging and exogenous aging. Endogenous aging is aging caused by biological processes and mechanisms inside the body. Among them, genetic factors play an important role, since the individual's genome has an important influence on the aging process. Exogenous aging refers to the aging process caused by external environmental factors. Ultraviolet radiation, pollutant exposure, bad living habits, etc. will all accelerate the aging process. Ultraviolet rays can damage the elastic fibers and collagen of the skin, causing skin sagging and wrinkles; exposure to pollutants and harmful substances can cause oxidative stress and cell damage, accelerating the aging of organs and tissues.
Traditional facial rejuvenation mostly starts from the surface and uses various external anti-wrinkle products. However, this only achieves the appearance, but far from the essence. It can only achieve temporary improvement in appearance and symptoms.
Lu Jie reminded that if you want to achieve facial rejuvenation, you must first understand your needs, what problems you want to solve, and what kind of results you need, and then choose a method that suits you. (Contributed by Chongqing Xingchen Plastic Surgery Hospital)
