For most of us, wrinkles are non-negotiable force of nature that would happen regardless. As much as we’d like to put it aside, it still bothers us as a constant reminder of us growing old. Wrinkles are not harmful, but it causes us to have an ‘older’ appearance. And let’s be honest, our society values visual over beauty and youth.
Everyone wants to think that we age gracefully. However, in most cases, that is not the case. There’s always something we can do better to keep up with our looks. Thankfully, there are many options available in the market to help you take care of your looks easier.
What Causes Wrinkles and Fine Lines?
First of all, to understand the problem, you must know how it happened in the first place. Wrinkles are a result of the lack of collagen in our body. Collagen is a protein substance in our skin that the body continuously produce over time. However, as we get older, the production slows down.
Hence, the skin loses its laxity that causes wrinkles and fine lines to appear.
Besides that, there are other factors leading to wrinkles and fine lines:
- Genetics: Some people are genetically born with less collagen production.
- Skin type: People with fair skin tends to have wrinkles earlier than those with tanner skin.
- Sun exposure: Excessive sun exposure causes skin to age earlier.
- Lifestyle: Unhealthy lifestyle like smoking, drinking and unhealthy snacking can result in early wrinkle production.
- Facial expressions: Our facial muscles are bonded to our skin. Laughing, crying or other facial expressions may train your skin to look a certain way.
How To Minimize Wrinkles
Getting rid of wrinkles can be a continuous battle. However, it is not impossible. If you are thinking of getting rid of the fine lines and wrinkles, there are few methods you can try to reduce the impacts:

Use Anti-Aging Products ASAP
As sun exposure is the main reason for wrinkles formation, the best bet is to use sunscreen to reduce the impact overall. Use cleanser or moisturisers with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to keep your skin hydrated and stimulate collagen production.
Besides that, the use of Retinoids/vitamin A can reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the long run. In Premier Medspa, we often offer our Pristine SkinCare, our medical grade skin care line to help promote anti-aging properties in your skin.
Use Microdermabrasion or Derma Roller
Microdermabrasion is powerful treatment to help you reduce wrinkle. It uses a special tool to help exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells. Whilst doing so, it rejuvenates collagen production. The increase in number of collagen will then create a lifting effects as it restores skin laxity.
Derma roller is another unique tool to increase collagen production. Typically used to reduce acne scars appearance, it uses a small roller with micro needles attached to it. The micro tear caused by the needles will force the skin to release collagen to help repair it. Same as microdermabrasion, the increased collagen helps to reduce wrinkles, fine lines and folds.
Use Dermal Fillers or Botulinum Toxins
For those who are already struggling with wrinkles, we recommend using dermal fillers to restore skin laxity and filling in the gaps left by the lack of collagen. Hyaluronic acid is a good choice considering its ability to rejuvenate skin condition. To make it better, a combination treatment of fillers and botulinum toxins can vouch for a better result.
Botulinum toxins is a muscle relaxer that can help restraint the muscles from expanding or contracting. As a result, the impact of wrinkles would not be as obvious.
