Wrinkles Treatment

The demand for an effective treatment modality for visible signs of sun damage keeps growing as the population continues to age. Although non-ablative technologies are becoming more popular due to their decreased downtime.

Here we will deal technologies available today for the improvement of the visible signs of photoaging, With no skin

Breakage or other readily apparent evidence of treatment, these technologies have become acceptable to those patients who are interested in skin rejuvenation, but are either unable or unwilling to submit to a prolonged downtime of ablative resurfacing or to the risks and costs of the more aggressive surgical treatments, such as facelifts. The clearly easier tolerated, nonablative lasers and devices lead to clinical improvement. Collagen is the main determinant of the skin tensile strength and represents approximately 70% of the dry weight of the dermis In chronically photodamaged skin, collagen fi bers are fragmented and thickened The ratio of collagen III to collagen I increases by as much as 30% after the age of 65 years As well, compared to the tight bundles of collagen in young skin, fi bers in the aging skin are signifi cantly more loosely woven and straight, providing for decreased potential for stretching.

Elastic fibers consist of various amounts of elastin and fibrillin and, as the name implies, are responsible for skin elasticity. Chronic photodamage results in increased synthesis of structurally and functionally abnormal elastic fibers, combined with slower degradation and localization within superficial and mid-dermis. Histologically, these changes are responsible for the findings of solar elastosis; clinically, they account for decreased skin elasticity.
