ARE THERE SOME WAYS TO TREAT WRINKLES?

Most wrinkles are the result of the breakdown of elastin and collagen fibers in the dermis (deeper layer of the skin). The greatest way to reduce wrinkles is to cause new growth of collagen in the dermis. Studies have proven that the only way to successfully decrease wrinkles is to disturb or "injure" the skin cells in the dermis. The skin cells in the dermis react to the injury by producing new collagen fibers that fill in the dermis more fully, thus reducing wrinkles. This is the same premise with all wrinkle reducing treatments such as laser, chemical peels and dermabrasion. For example, with chemical peels the skin is burned and in order to heal the skin has to produce more collagen, thereby firming the wrinkles.
