Getting Rid of Wrinkles

How to Prevent Wrinkles

The latest wisdom on how to prevent wrinkles, and especially on how to prevent crows feet wrinkles around the eyes is: stay out of the sun, use moisturizer around your eyes, and don't smoke.

Wrinkles are a natural sign of aging, doctors say.

If you're over the age of 25, those little wrinkles at the corners of your eyes are almost inevitable. They're the result of years of smiling, laughing, frowning and squinting.

The skin's natural elasticity is the result of collagen and elastin in skin cells. As you grow older, the collagen and elastin start to break down and lose their elasticity.

Exposure to the ultraviolet rays in sunlight hasten the process. Smoking makes it worse.

If you ask a dermatologist how to prevent wrinkles, he'll most likely tell you to avoid the sun, don't smoke and use a nourishing eye cream around your eyes daily.

Preventing creases from setting in is easier than getting rid of wrinkles.

How to prevent crows feet wrinkles Crow's feet are among the first wrinkles to appear.

The tiny, v-shaped creases at the corners of your eyes have been called 'laugh lines', 'smile lines', or 'character lines'.

Women dermatologists are often in agreement on how to prevent crows feet wrinkles. Their suggestions are:

• Protect your skin from the sun.

• Wear sun hats and sunglasses, and use a good sun block (SPF 30 or above).

• Use eye cream that contains glycolic acid, collagen and/or elastin around the eyes. This will also help in getting rid of wrinkles. Glycolic acid encourages the skin to get rid of old cells so that new cells can take their place.

• Don't smoke. Cigarette smoke is extremely damaging to the skin.

• Be gentle with your skin. Firm, gentle strokes that don't pull on the skin help prevent damage to the elasticity of the skin cells.

So what if it's too late and your face is already showing more character than you care to display?

Scientists have made great strides in getting rid of wrinkles, too. Some of the most used treatments are:

Injections of botulinum toxin

Botulinum injections temporarily paralyze the muscles around the eyes, preventing the skin from wrinkling.

Chemical Peels

Another method for getting rid of wrinkles is a chemical peel. An acidic chemical is applied to the face, burning away the top layer and encouraging new skin to form.

Collagen Injections

Collagen injections help by replacing the collagen lost to age with collagen derived from purified cow collagen.

Dermabrasion, Microdermabrasion and Laser resurfacing

Several methods for getting rid of wrinkles involve removing the top layer of the skin with an abrasive technique so that new, undamaged skin will grow.

Finally, there is promising new news that wrinkle creams containing vitamin C in conjunction with glycolic acid work very well at getting rid of wrinkles.
