WHY DO WRINKLES APPEAR?
Face wrinkles start to appear due to the natural aging process. As the skin gets more mature, it loses collagen, elastin fibers, and hyaluronic acid that support the outer layer. The dermis, or the skin’s inner layer, starts to get thinner. So, the skin surface begins to change, and fine lines and wrinkles start to appear. Also, the glands that secrete oil lessen their effectiveness, so the skin can’t retain moisture and starts to look wrinkled.
Another reason that provokes the appearance of wrinkles is muscle contractions that happen when smiling, squinting, or frowning. These facial expressions make wrinkles more prominent with age. As time passes, facial expressions, gravity, and loss of fat mass all add to the creation of wrinkles between the eyebrows, called frown lines, and lines on the outer corner of the eyes, called crow’s feet. When the skin is young, these facial expressions cause so-called dynamic wrinkles because the skin springs back when the expression is over. However, as the skin gets older, these dynamic wrinkles turn to static ones and no longer disappear. Static wrinkles are always seen on the face.
When the skin is overly exposed to the sun, it can start aging sooner than it should. This is known as photoaging, which causes damage to collagen and elastin fibers. Too much sun damages skin tissue but also produces some enzymes. These enzymes form solar scars and wrinkles when the exposure is constantly repeated.
Smoking can also contribute to the development of wrinkles. Tobacco interferes with the production of new collagen. Insufficient collagen causes the appearance of wrinkles because the skin can’t rejuvenate in its natural way.
How Dubai Climate Contributes to Wrinkle Appearance
Dubai’s climate, characterized by intense heat and high UV radiation, significantly contributes to the appearance of wrinkles. Prolonged sun exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that maintain the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Additionally, the dry air in Dubai can dehydrate the skin, leading to a loss of moisture and making fine lines more pronounced. Without adequate protection and professional skincare to repair sun-damaged skin, harsh environmental conditions can expedite the aging process, resulting in premature wrinkles and other signs of aging.
WHEN TO START WITH WRINKLE TREATMENTS?
Choosing the best time to try AntiAging injections depends on age, indications, and goals. Some people start noticing wrinkles in their 20s, and others in their 30s. It’s all about skin type, genetics, and lifestyle. Some patients prefer to start with preventional wrinkle treatments in Dubai as soon as they notice the first fine lines on their forehead, between the eyebrows, nose, or around the eyes. Preventional treatments definitely delay the appearance of deep facial expression wrinkles and maintain a youthful appearance, which is the main goal of patients who decide to undergo wrinkle treatments at an earlier age.
Before any non-surgical wrinkle treatment, Lucia Clinic aesthetic doctors examine the patients’ facial anatomy and advise the patients about which treatment would be the best for them. Wrinkle treatments in Dubai are sensitive procedures that are performed with absolute precision. Lucia Clinic aesthetic doctors are highly experienced in the field of facial treatments and bring the best and immediate results when it comes to natural-looking skin enhancement.
The doctors can also suggest the patients try a combination of other aesthetic enhancement procedures, but of course, provided that it is safe and within the goals, the patients wish to achieve with wrinkle treatments. Safety and the best results are two essential rules that Lucia Clinic aesthetic doctors always follow.
WRINKLE TREATMENTS AT LUCIA CLINIC
There are several non-surgical wrinkle treatments in Dubai that can effectively bring back smoother and more youthful skin.
They include:
- Ultherapy® treatment
- Botox injections
- Dermal Fillers
- Thermage treatment
- Microneedling treatments and Dermapen
- Clear + Brilliant
- Meso-threads procedure
- Clear Lift treatment
ULTHERAPY®
Ultherapy® procedure is a non-invasive treatment for lifting and tightening loose skin on the face, neck, and upper chest. It provides natural-looking results for a brow lift, a tighter chin, and neck. With the use of advanced ultrasound, the problematic areas of the face and neck are reached and treated 100%effectively. Ultherapy ultrasound treatment regenerates the collagen and gradually lifts the skin of the face, neck, and décolletage.
With the help of this advanced technology, patients can look younger without the need for a surgical facelift. Ultherapy® is a procedure that helps in reducing fine lines and wrinkles in just one treatment. What makes Ultherapy® special is that it awakens the body’s natural healing processes that eventually bring a nicer contour to the face. What makes Ultherapy® beloved as a wrinkle treatment in Dubai is that it is a non-surgical skin lifting treatment, and it is ideal for people who shy away from incisions and long downtime.
When it comes to lifting the skin on these challenging-to-access areas of the face, Ultherapy® is the only procedure that has received FDA approval.
Ultherapy® skin lifting treatments offer a new way of fighting against gravity. There is no downtime, no extreme disturbing of the skin – just natural, healthy rejuvenation.
Another wrinkle treatment that is well-known and very popular. It is, of course, botox.
BOTOX® ANTI-AGING INJECTION TREATMENT
Botox® is one of the most beloved wrinkles treatments in Dubai, and Lucia Clinic patients choose it often. It is safe and has been used for many years to enhance the natural beauty of the skin. It reduces and eliminates static wrinkles on the face, but it is also used to prevent wrinkles. The face areas that can be treated with Botox® for the reduction of wrinkles and lines include:
- the forehead
- outer corners of the eyes
- nose
It can also be used to reduce the vertical lines on the neck. The Botox non-surgical treatment can reduce facial expression wrinkles known as frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, and others. It is a fast, non-surgical procedure that has proven to be absolutely effective in the reduction of wrinkles and lines and returning a natural and fresh look to the face and neck.
When Botox® is injected into the targeted muscles on the face or neck, it blocks the signals that cause those muscles to contract. These muscles get relaxed, and patients no longer make those facial expressions that initially caused the wrinkles.
The Botox® treatment for wrinkles lasts only a few minutes, and it is only mildly uncomfortable. The Lucia Clinic aesthetic doctors inject a small amount of Botox® with tiny needles and do their best to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. There is no downtime after the procedure, and patients leave Lucia Clinic ready to continue their busy day. Five to ten days need to pass before the full effect of Botox® treatment can be noticed.
Some of the botox side effects include redness, stinging, and bruising of the treated area, but these inconveniences are only temporary.
The effects last from three to six months, after which the Botox® dissolves. So additional touch-ups are recommended because the treated muscles will start to be active again, and wrinkles will return. However, the reappeared wrinkles might be less deep than before because the treated muscles have been trained to relax.
However, whether to repeat the procedure or not depends solely on the patient.
Non-surgical wrinkle treatments available here in Dubai also include dermal fillers.
INJECTABLE DERMAL FILLERS
Wrinkles appear as the skin ages and loses the proteins in its layers. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical procedure that can rejuvenate and lift up the skin, especially around the mouth, chin, and nose. They can smooth the skin and make the wrinkles in the treated areas less visible.
There are different types of wrinkle fillers, but the most commonly known are hyaluronic acid and collagen stimulator fillers.
The skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid, which serves to hydrate it and give it a plump appearance. Hyaluronic acid fillers come in the form of a gel, and after the treatment, the results last between 6 and 12 months.
Collagen stimulator wrinkle treatment fillers dissolve in a day or two after the procedure. The best characteristic of this filler is that it triggers the production of collagen in the skin.
Fillers can be used on different areas of the face to treat deep wrinkles and restore contour and volume.
These target areas include smile lines, folds around the nose, and chin.
The benefits of fillers are straightforward and deliver the intended result – returning the lost volume to the skin and making it smooth and plump again.
The wrinkle treatment with fillers is a non-surgical procedure that is minimally uncomfortable. Even though it involves tiny needles, doctors at Lucia Clinic work together with the patients to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. More importantly, prior to the procedure, doctors advise the patients about the best fillers for the goals they wish to achieve.
After the filler treatment, the visible effects are fewer wrinkles and fine lines, younger-looking skin, and better contour. The results are immediate.
As a complement to filler treatment, you may want to consider another wrinkle treatment in Dubai, Thermage for eyes and face.
THERMAGE FOR EYES AND FACE
The effects of aging are usually apparent around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate. It loses collagen and thus, its elasticity, and it starts to droop and develop wrinkles. Thermage for eyes is a treatment that can brighten and rejuvenate the area around the eyes. It is minimally invasive, and it is done with the use of radiofrequency to tighten the skin. It requires no downtime, and it’s also known as a non-surgical eyelift.
Thermage treatment for eyes is done by radiofrequency that is delivered into the dermis in order to fill the fine lines and wrinkles. It tones and tightens the eyelids, reduces eyelid hooding, softens the Crow’s feet around the eyes, and smooths the fine lines and wrinkles.
The results of Thermage treatments for eyes can be seen two weeks after the procedure, and the effects continue to develop over time – the skin gets tightened because the new collagen is produced.
Thermage treatment can be performed on other features that have lost definition and developed fine lines and wrinkles—the lips, neck, and jawline.
Thermage for the face is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to tighten and contour the skin on the face, providing a more youthful appearance. Using radiofrequency energy, Thermage FLX heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and remodeling existing collagen fibers. This process helps to smooth out wrinkles, improve skin texture, and enhance facial contours without the need for surgery or downtime. Ideal for those seeking a subtle lift and rejuvenation, Thermage offers long-lasting results that gradually improve over time.
MICRONEEDLING OR DERMAPEN™
The Dermapen™ is an advanced microneedling device that is used to rejuvenate, lift, and tighten the skin. The microneedling treatment works on the principles of acupuncture and boosts the look of the skin. It can smooth fine lines and wrinkles, surgical and acne scars, stretch marks, and others.
The Dermapen treatment triggers the natural collagen and elastin production in the body and thus repairs the skin. With controlled precision, Dermapen™ enables the skin to re-grow the new epidermis and thus smooths the damaged surface of the skin.
CLEAR + BRILLIANT®
Clear + Brilliant® is a state-of-the-art, gentle laser treatment that effectively refreshes the skin and stops the signs of aging. The treatment keeps the skin looking younger and radiant, and it is performed with two handpieces to achieve the best results.
Clear and Brilliant laser is a natural step in skincare as it provides effective results, is safe, and is gentle. There is no downtime after the treatment, and patients can continue with their busy day right after. It is a powerful, proactive treatment that maintains youthful skin for many years.
MESO-THREADS
Meso-thread is a non-surgical procedure that rejuvenates and redensifies the skin. The threads dissolve in 6 to 8 months and trigger collagen production that lasts up to 18 months.
The Meso-threads procedure is done on wrinkled, withered, and sagging skin that lacks tone. It strengthens and reinforces the skin on the face and body. This non-invasive wrinkle treatment in Dubai achieves amazing results in wrinkle correction, rejuvenation, and light tightening on the face, neck, and decolletage areas.
It can also be used to treat skin folds on the breast, buttocks, arms, legs, abdomen, and knees. It enhances the skin structure and evens out the skin after pregnancy or liposuction.
The benefits of Meso-threads wrinkle treatment are numerous. It is a safe, fast, and effective treatment that leaves no scars – only naturally looking skin.
CLEARLIFT
CleatLift is one of the newest anti-aging procedures. It is safe and non-invasive, and it achieves amazing results. It is a laser treatment that reaches the deep layers of the skin. The epidermis stays intact, and the skin’s imperfections are actually repaired under it.
The treatment is painless and comfortable, and it can be performed on patients who wish to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, redness, pores, and broken capillaries. It can be done on any skin type to even out the skin tone and improve skin laxity.
The Clear Lift Laser treatment in our Dubai clinic is a fast, efficient, and, above all, absolutely comfortable skin treatment.
