Skin is one of the most important indicators that reflect our age. However, environmental factors, genetic structure and lifestyle factors can directly affect skin health and cause us to look older or younger than our age. Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Ufuk Askeroğlu explains the effect of skin health on aging for you.
Situations such as loss of skin elasticity, fine lines, blemishes and looseness can make our age seem older than it is.
A YOUTHFUL AND HEALTHY APPEARANCE CAN BE ACHIEVE BY TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SKIN
There are many different causes of skin aging and this process can vary from person to person.

Genetic inheritance from family members is an important factor affecting the speed of skin aging. Toxins can cause premature aging of the skin. Antioxidant deficiency, vitamin and mineral deficiency can age the skin
METHODS YOU CAN APPLY TO ENSURE YOUR SKIN LOOKS HEALTHY AND YOUNG
Use moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides and natural oils. Sunscreens with SPF 30 and above protect your skin from UV rays and delay aging. It is important to consume foods rich in vitamins E, C and A, which support skin health. You can maintain the moisture balance of your skin by increasing your daily water consumption. Support your skin by applying cleansing, toning and serum regularly.
YOU CAN CONSULT A DOCTOR IN ADVANCED WRINKLES
When advanced wrinkles and sagging occur on the skin, cosmetic products and daily care routines alone may not be enough. In this case, various medical interventions evaluated by aesthetic and plastic surgery specialists may come into play. Especially for individuals with deep wrinkles, significant sagging in facial features and loss of elasticity, botox and filler applications, which are considered small touches, can offer effective solutions. Botox softens mimic lines and reduces the visibility of wrinkles, while filler applications help to achieve a younger and more dynamic appearance by eliminating volume losses in the skin.
However, in some cases, especially for individuals showing advanced signs of aging, these methods may not be sufficient. In such cases, surgical methods may be preferred. Deep-plane facelift surgery is performed to eliminate sagging in the skin, re-define facial contours and provide a natural rejuvenation. This operation provides long-term recovery by tightening not only the skin surface but also the underlying muscle and connective tissues.
Removing advanced wrinkles is not only an aesthetic concern, but also has positive effects on the person’s psychological health. Feeling younger and more dynamic can increase the person’s self-confidence and improve the quality of their social life. Therefore, it is important for individuals with obvious signs of aging to consult a specialist and evaluate the most appropriate treatment options for themselves.
