Many factors can be responsible for causing our skin to age. Aging is inevitable but its effects on the skin can certainly be delayed with the latest dermatological procedures.

If we talk about the aspects that can or can not be influenced, aging can be categorised into:

• Intrinsic Aging
• Extrinsic Aging

Going into the details, intrinsic aging means the natural process of aging which obviously can not be controlled. As one ages, the skin becomes thin, loose, and dry. Therefore, the face loses its fullness and youthful glow.

On the other hand, by extrinsic aging, we mean the external factors such as lifestyle habits and environmental factors that cause pre-mature aging. The best way to deal with extrinsic aging is to prevent it. 

Following are some of the preventive measures which Dr. Sudha Vani prescribes to her patients for pre-mature aging:

• Protect the skin from the sun every day.A skin specialist or an anti-aging expert can help in choosing the right type of sunscreen. They can also guide one about how to use it properly for more effective results. 
   
• Repetitive facial expressions can lead to permanent wrinkles. As we make facial expressions the underlying muscles are contracted causing dynamic wrinkles. If one continues making the same expressions over the years, these wrinkles become permanent due to the constant contraction of the muscles. 
   
• Wearing sunglasses can help reduce the lines caused by squinting. 
   
• Eat a well-balanced diet. 
   
• Avoid the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol is rough on the skin as it dehydrates and eventually damages the skin.
   
• Regular exercise is necessary. If not every day, one must exercise for at least 5 days a week. 
   
• Gentle cleansing of the skin on an everyday basis is suggested. 

Apply a good facial moisturizer every day. For people with oily skin type, Dr. Sudha Vani suggests using a gel based moisturizer. It is crucial because if the skin stays dry, our body will release more natural oils (sebum) thereby making it even more oily. While using a moisturizer helps to retain water in the skin, giving it a supple & youthful appearance. 

• Dont continue using the skin care products that sting or burn.Constant irritation on the skin can lead to further problems.

Sri Skin and Cosmetology Centre at Hyderabad offers many treatment options for skin rejuvenation including:

1. Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler injections have been popular for years. These are also known as soft tissue fillers and help in diminishing the facial lines by plumping up the deflated skin. These can also be used to provide volume to the hands. As we grow old, the loss of collagen and elastin lead to thinning of the skin. This makes the veins more visible, hence making the hands look old and thin.

Apart from these benefits, dermal fillers can also help in:\

• Minimising the hollowness under the eyes 
• Providing the desired shape & volume to the lips
   

2. Non invasive skin tightening procedure like thread lift.
 

3. Ultrasound plus Radio frequency
 

We have the best in class body contouring machine i.e. Accent Prime (Alma make) with us, first one in South India. The icing on the cake is that Dr. Sudha Vani has a vast experience in performing this procedure. She has been trained by national and international faculty for the same. Therefore, she can help the patients in optimising the results.
 

4. Lasers
 

Laser is used to tighten the skin by using a light beam focusing on a particular area with loose skin. The laser can target the deep layers of the skin without causing any damage to the outer layer. This is one of the most preferred methods for tightening of loose skin on the belly and upper arms.

 

5. Laser resurfacing
 

At Sri Skin and Cosmetology Centre at Hyderabad, we have the best Q-Switched Laser (Alma make) for the unmatched results. This significantly improves the texture of the skin and restores its firmness. It can also diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots or age spots on the skin.

It depends on the age and extent of skin damage. The best person to advice on the ideal treatment for skin rejuvenation is a Dermato-cosmetologist. Dr. Sudha Vani first examines the skin thoroughly and then only suggests the best-suited and cost effective treatment options for an individual.
