Wrinkles are caused
by a number of internal and external factors over the course of our
lifetime. Wrinkles are a result of aging, unhealthy skin and make us look
older than we are. It is well recognized that natural aging and sun damage
are the biggest contributors to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Once you understand
the science behind how and why wrinkles form, you will understand the benefits
of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in your skin care regimen, anti aging and wellness
program to prolong your youthful look.
The dermis layer,
or middle layer of the skin, that contains the structural elements of the
skin namely elastin, collagen and other fibrous tissues continuously
support the structure, shape and fullness of the skin.
As we age the cells divide more slowly, production of collagen
decreases, network of collagen and elastin fibers begin to loosen and skin cells loose the ability to
retain texture, firmness, moisture and tone resulting in formation of wrinkles.
Collagen:
When the subject of
anti-aging is discussed, collagen is forefront. Collagen is a protein which
makes up most of the cutaneous layer of the skin and fibres of other connective
tissues.
Collagen is a
cable-like group of white in elastic fibres which are resistant to traction.
Composed of 3 chain-links of twisted polypeptides, each chain is made up of
approximately 100 amino acid units arranged in a defined sequence.
While the skin is
made up of 5% Elastin, it is comprised of 70% Collagen, making it an ingredient
is skin aging that we cannot overlook. Collagen production is simply part of
cell metabolism, so the drastic drop in collagen production at age, say 35, is
just another indication of the slowing of our metabolism due to aging.
With aging, Collagen looses its suppleness, it cross links with
other collagen strands and becomes rigid so structures are hardened. With this
rigidity, the skin looses its soft suppleness.
Elastin:
Elastin is the
protein which is responsibility for the skin’s elasticity. While only making up
5% of the skin, a lack of elastin causes loss of tone and stretch marks on the
skin’s surface.
Elastin is a lighter molecule than collagen and supports collagen. It is a spider web-like structure which weaves in and out, binding collagen strands. The tightness of these strands determines the firmness in the skin.
When we mature,
Elastin calcifies and looses it flexibility which is results in loss of tone in
the skin. Saggy or loose skin is from the degeneration of the elastin protein
caused by elastase (an agent which breaks down elastin). Elastase production is
caused by inflammation which is the main culprit of aging.
The primary cause behind sagging skin and wrinkles is the loss
of volume due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production. Collagen is a
main structural protein in skin that helps in cell renewal and overall firmness
of complexion. Elastin is another protein that accommodates all our movements
so skin returns to its original shape after stretching or contracting.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy (HBOT) enhances Elastin & Collagen Production at the cellular
level:
Numerous studies
have shown hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes the growth of collagen which is
the foundation of firm new skin. Important effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy would be the stimulation of leukocyte microbial killing, the
enhancement of fibroblast replication, and increased collagen formation and
neovascularization of ischemic (oxygen starved) tissue. The effect
being - reduced wrinkles and fine lines, younger looking and supple skin. This
effect is every aesthetic and cosmetic physician’s delight.
One of the more
spectacular uses of HBOT, recognized even by conventional American medicine, is
its powerful detoxification benefit. Skin being your only single largest organ,
toxins in your body definitely show up as skin blemishes and
discolorations. Hyperbaric Oxygen removes toxins and the
aesthetic benefits to your skin is shown looking fresh, rejuvenated and
healthy.
The use of
hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in anti aging, longevity and to reduce the visibility
of wrinkles have shown to be promising and effective. Hyperbaric Oxygen
treatment is currently being used and is becoming more widespread in aesthetic
clinics, wellness and spa centers worldwide. There is no other anti-aging and
wellness therapy that is so effortless and yet so effective. Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy is a natural, safe, drug-free therapy.
If you are interested in your appearance, staying younger &
healthy and keeping your mind and body refreshed and rejuvenated and if
you if you've tried everything with no luck, it's time
