In modern aesthetic medicine, more and more attention is paid not to age, but to the type of aging and its signs, because this helps to choose the right care and procedures.
Aging is a natural process, but its manifestations can vary significantly. In aesthetic medicine, we are increasingly paying attention not to age, but to the type of aging and the severity of certain symptoms. In general, there are 4 types of aging. Deformational-edematous, fine-wrinkled, muscular, and tired – each has its own characteristics
The cosmetologist explains that each type of aging has characteristic signs that are easy to notice. For example, some people face swelling and loss of a clear facial oval, while others are left with a large number of fine wrinkles. It is these dominant manifestations that help determine one's type.
The deformational-edematous type is characterized by a loss of clarity of the facial oval, a tendency to swelling and the formation of nasolabial folds and jowls. The fine-wrinkled type has thin and dry skin, many fine wrinkles, and such patients are prone to early aging. The muscular type is active facial expressions, dense skin and deep wrinkles due to muscle hypertonicity. The tired type is manifested by a decrease in skin tone and a look of constant fatigue
At the same time, the rate of aging is influenced not only by genetic factors but also by lifestyle. Among the key reasons, the expert names stress and environmental impact, saying they can significantly worsen the skin's condition.
Many factors, both internal and external, influence premature aging. But the most important factor is chronic stress, which can change hormonal balance, circadian rhythms, and general well-being. In the future, it affects skin quality and the rate of aging. I also want to note the negative effect of UV rays on the skin
The specialist advises to determine your type of aging by the most pronounced sign. This can be done independently by analyzing the condition of the skin and face. It is important to understand that it is impossible to change the type of aging, but its manifestations can be influenced.
It's very simple, you need to find one dominant sign that you have and analyze what type it belongs to. If there is swelling or jowls are sagging, it is a deformational type. Many fine wrinkles - fine-wrinkled, active facial expressions and creases - muscular, and if you look tired even after sleep - it is a tired type
Maria Borisova emphasizes that proper care can significantly slow down the aging process. To do this, it is important to combine home care, a healthy lifestyle, and professional procedures.
It is impossible to change the type of aging, it is a genetically determined process, but it is possible to slow it down. What really works: regular home care, giving up bad habits, SPF 50 daily. And also professional cosmetic procedures selected specifically for your type of aging
