Aside from chronic diseases and serious medical conditions, what prevents us from accepting the idea of getting old is what our faces will look like as we age. Naturally, our skin loses its composure and elasticity due to loss of the length of our telomere caps, which are the non-renewable DNA strand ends of our chromosome. As cells reach their end of life, it is signaled by loss of telomeric DNA, resulting in tissue degeneration like sagging, crow’s feet and wrinkles. This causes expression lines in the forehead, face, and wrinkles. In addition, we also lose volume, potentially in the lower face, midface, and under our eyes, which gives a sunken and unhealthy appearance.
Our lifestyle may also affect how we see ourselves. If we do not eat foods with high nutritional value, it may cause skin inflammation and breakouts. Unhealthy habits such as smoking can contribute to premature aging of the skin as it can produce an enzyme responsible for the collagen breakdown in our body. Thankfully, these problems have long been resolved by the experts in aesthetic medicine. The creation of botox and filler injections is a game-changer for those who seek personal satisfaction with their physical appearance. Botox injections work hand in hand to prevent wrinkles and lines and improve the sunken areas of the face for a better facial harmony. Botox injections are instruments towards a younger-looking face and offer more benefits aside from being facially appealing.
