Aging skin, loss of elastin and collagen, is inevitable – it will eventually happen to every person although some people will experience it at an earlier age than others. Other factors that cause people to age faster can be prevented such as sun exposure.
Having sun-kissed skin and lying on the beach or by the pool all summer without sun protection is no longer beautiful.
The UV rays from the sun penetrate deep into the skin that damages the elastic fibers which keep the skin firm. This damage allows wrinkles to form. However, to diminish those sun damaged wrinkles restylane injections are available to rejuvenate skin.
To further prevent additional sun damage, follow these suggestions:
- Reduce intentional exposure to the sun. A suntan means you have already damaged your skin.
- Wear a hat with a brim to cover your face, ears and neck.
- Always use sunscreen anytime you will be outside – even on cloudy days. Wear sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or higher. More is needed if you live or vacation in southern states or countries where the sun is hotter and closer to the equator such as the desert states, Florida, Bahamas and Hawaii.
With restylane injections men and women can improve their skin elasticity and renew skin with hydration. Restylane injections moisturize the skin thus diminishing lines and wrinkles caused by over-exposure to the sun.
Restylane injections are less invasive than traditional neck and face lifts and can last for several months depending on how a person takes care of his or her skin.
