Science behind wrinkles

People find many wrinkle removers in the market that promises to smoothen the wrinkled skin. Important fact that should be considered is that which type of treatment will support the process. All lies in understanding the skin’s connective tissue called dermal collagen. Any damage to the mechanical properties of the collagen outside the skin cells is the cause for the wrinkled skin. Researchers have found that three anti-ageing treatments are proven to be clinically effective. Topical application of retinal, carbon dioxide laser resurfacing and injection of hyaluronic acid, which is a moisture retaining acid, found naturally in the skin. All these techniques depends on the interaction of skin cells called fibroblasts with the collagen they intend to generate.
