Aging Skin
Get the treatment you need at Riverchase Dermatology.
Every person’s skin is different, especially when it comes to aging. The natural process of aging affects the entire body, but perhaps most visible signs show up on the skin, the body’s largest organ. The cumulative effect of bad habits and years of exposure to sun, wind and harsh weather takes its toll on the skin’s elasticity and cellular construction.
Aging Skin FAQs
As early as your 20s, you might begin to notice subtle changes to your skin such as fine lines, dark spots, dryness, itching and sagging. Over time, the appearance of wrinkles, thinning skin, graying hair, splotchy dark spots and loss off a more youthful fullness are all signs of aging skin.
As we age, our skin can also become more easily bruised due to thinner blood vessel walls. The skin becomes drier because sebaceous or oil glands decrease in size. Wrinkles, creases and folds form because the skin loses flexibility.
Aging happens to everyone, but the rate at which changes take place is determined by many factors, including familial genes and the amount of time you spend in the sun.
Smoking accelerates the aging process because it reduces the blood supply to the skin, and alcohol dehydrates the skin, which can cause it to wrinkle. Repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning and squinting can cause fine lines or wrinkles to appear at a younger age.
