Skin aging - how to slow down this process?

All our organs age. The skin, being the largest organ, is no exception. What does this process look like and how can it be prevented? Read on.

Why does the skin age?

For many years, scientists believed that skin aging was related to genes. While genes do have an impact on its condition, current research indicates that another significant factor affecting the aging of this organ is the exposome. This term encompasses additional factors such as lifestyle (e.g., smoking), air pollution, UV radiation, and chronic stress. Another factor with a major influence on skin aging is free radicals, which reduce the activity of an enzyme in the cell mitochondria, disrupting cell cycle control.

What happens in aging skin?

We've discussed the causes, now let's focus on the effects. Aging skin cells primarily lose firmness, mainly due to several reasons. Firstly, collagen and elastin fibers in the skin weaken, and their production decreases, causing the tissue to become lax. Secondly, there is a progressive lack of hyaluronic acid in the cells. This acid binds water and is responsible for adequate cell moisturization. Cells without it become shrunken and, due to poorer cell membrane tension, also hinder the transport of nutrients through it.

These are the main causes of what we see daily, such as wrinkles, sagging, and drooping skin.

How to prevent skin aging processes?

There are many ways to prevent aging processes, especially those that will effectively rejuvenate the cells.

Repairing DNA damage

Can we somehow change the aging process of cells encoded in genes? Yes. Telomeres - DNA terminations - are responsible for cell lifespan. At the Beauty Embassy in Warsaw, we offer DNA Recovery acid peels. The substances in the product penetrate the cell nucleus, repairing telomeres. The effect of this preparation is scientifically proven and highly praised by our patients.

Supplementing hyaluronic acid deficiencies

It is beneficial to supplement hyaluronic acid with high-quality mesotherapy. Through mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid reaches the deeper skin layers and can replenish deficiencies precisely where needed. It is advisable to opt for treatments using the best-quality hyaluronic acid. At the Beauty Embassy in Warsaw, aesthetic medicine doctors recommend treatments with products from the Neauvia line, containing exceptionally pure and concentrated hyaluronic acid.

Renewal of collagen and elastin fibers

Stimulating collagen and elastin fibers is challenging but feasible. Radiofrequency treatments like Reaction RF or Pelleve and HIFU technology procedures are highly effective in this regard. Another common method to stimulate these fibers, often used at the Beauty Embassy, is laser treatments. These treatments, especially using fractional lasers, induce cell rebuilding and stimulate natural regenerative processes.

For those wanting to harness their body's natural renewal power and rejuvenate through their own strength, the doctors at the Beauty Embassy in Warsaw recommend treatments using platelet-rich plasma or stem cells, derived from the patient's own blood.

As seen, there are numerous effective methods to rejuvenate skin cells. The best approach is a holistic one, using several methods. Determining the most suitable method for your skin is best done during a consultation, to which we cordially invite you. Consultations with specialists will maximize therapy results and help maintain a youthful appearance and skin cell health for longer.
