Aging is an inescapable part of life. Throughout life, we are constantly exposed to different environmental factors that contribute to the aging process. As we grow older, nutrients in the skin start to break down, and the skin starts to lose elasticity and tightness. Fortunately, there are many ways to counter this process, with both surgical and non-surgical options.

What are the causes of skin aging?

There are several factors that contribute to aging skin, from environmental influences to lifestyle choices.

Internal Factors: With age, fewer new cells are produced, resulting in less fibroblast activity. Fibroblasts are the most common connective tissue cells. Less collagen and elastin in the skin lead to reduced fibroblast activity, which typically results in less elasticity. A reduction in the levels of hyaluronic acid also has an effect on elasticity and the skin’s ability to repair itself. In addition, the dermis naturally becomes thinner with age, with a decrease in volume of subcutaneous tissue.

External Factors: As well as environmental factors, lifestyle choices and social behavior and activity can accelerate the skin aging process. A regular sleeping position can affect the skin, as well as frequent facial expressions. Gravity also takes its toll on the skin. The primary external factor for aging skin is sun exposure, which often results in photo-damaged skin. This is characterized by loss of elasticity, increased dryness and fragility, irregular pigmentation and deep wrinkling. Excessive substance use, such as tobacco or alcohol consumption, can also damage the skin. In someone who smokes, the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin begin to narrow, reducing the amount of blood flow. This restricts the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the skin that are essential to its health. Smoking can also damage the elastin and collagen, and the repetitive facial expressions and movements can develop wrinkles.
