Causes of Deep Wrinkles As age increases, the collagen and elastin proteins in the skin gradually decrease, causing the skin to lose its elasticity and smoothness. This intrinsic change, combined with external factors in daily life such as UV radiation, poor lifestyle habits, stress, etc., accelerates the formation of wrinkles. Particularly, deep wrinkles, which are caused by damage to the dermis and fascia layers of the skin, manifest as wrinkles, sagging, and drooping of facial soft tissues.
Treatment Methods Most Suitable for Deep Wrinkles
Ultrasound Knife
The ultrasound knife is a technology that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves to heat deep tissues, generating tiny thermal coagulation points to cause controlled damage to the skin, stimulate centripetal contraction of collagen fibers in the dermis, promote the regeneration and arrangement of collagen proteins, and activate the skin’s self-repair function. This process helps increase skin elasticity, lift the skin, improve wrinkles and skin texture, making the skin appear younger.
Thermage
Thermage is a radiofrequency technology that can penetrate into the dermis and fat layers of the skin, inducing direct contraction of collagen by oscillating water molecules at high frequencies, and stimulating fibroblasts in the dermis to synthesize new collagen. This not only helps improve skin laxity and wrinkles but also reduces fat and improves cellulite. Thermage is currently the only radiofrequency device used to treat periorbital laxity and wrinkles. Its latest fourth-generation product can achieve deep three-dimensional heating, effectively achieving the treatment goals.
Wrinkle Injections
Wrinkle injections mainly include two methods: one is using wrinkle-relaxing injections, which mainly act on muscles by blocking the signal transmission between motor nerves and facial muscles, reducing the strength of muscle contraction, thereby improving the depth and length of fine lines. The other is using hyaluronic acid, injecting it into the dermis layer of the wrinkle area to fill wrinkle folds, achieving the effect of wrinkle removal. These two methods are suitable for different types of wrinkles, such as glabellar lines, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, etc.
Considerations
Before undergoing any medical aesthetic treatment, you should consult a professional doctor to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you. Everyone’s skin condition and wrinkle type are different, so personalized assessment and advice are needed. Additionally, choosing a reputable medical institution for treatment is also crucial to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Conclusion
The treatment of deep wrinkles requires considering various factors, including the type and severity of wrinkles, as well as individual skin conditions. Ultrasound knife, Thermage, and wrinkle injections are all effective treatment methods, but they each have their own advantages and scope of application. Before making a decision, be sure to seek advice from professionals and undergo treatment at a reputable institution.
