Aging is a natural biological process in humans and involves all the organs in the body; that includes skin as well as all the internal organs. While aging in the internal organs is not visible, skin aging is evident to the eyes and needs anti-aging treatment to look younger.
Skin aging is caused by a combination of the following factors :
Anti-aging treatment aims to remove the outer layers of the skin called epidermis, resulting in the emergence of a smoother younger skin that grows from inside and targets 3 primary structural components in the dermis - collagen, elastin and GAGs, which intern, improves the elasticity and softness of the skin reducing fine lins and wrinkles.
Antioxidants : Antioxidants like Vitamins, Polyphenols and Flavonoids, reduce concentration of free radical in tissues and thus reduce collagen degradation. Vit-C, Vit-B3 (Niacinamite 5%) and Vit-E are the most important antioxidant.
Cell Regulators : Cell regulators act directly on collagen metabolism and stimulate production of collagen and elastic fibers. Retinol also increase skin cell production (proliferation), thus causes exfoliation of skin. Retinol (vit-A), polypeptides and growth factors (GF) are the most common cell regulators used.
