Avoiding Wrinkles: Strategies for Dealing with Skin Changes.

Fall has arrived, bringing with it crisp air and clear skies. However, autumn may be a slightly challenging season for the skin. As moisture levels drop in the air, the skin can become dry, leading to reduced elasticity, increased roughness, and potential skin issues. Let's explore some simple methods to prevent and address these skin changes.

 

Through these simple preventative methods, you can protect your skin from the dry autumn air and maintain healthy skin.

 

Forehead Wrinkle Prevention

To prevent forehead wrinkles, start by placing your fingers horizontally on your forehead, gently pulling the skin upwards and then releasing it. Dr. Jinhyun Kim, the director of Banobagi Plastic Surgery, advises, "This motion helps maintain elasticity in the forehead, reducing wrinkles and making the skin smoother." He also suggests maintaining various facial expressions, such as raising the eyebrows as high as possible or bringing them together in the center, and then releasing.

 

Laugh Line Prevention

Next, here's a method for preventing laugh lines. Use your fingers to gently roll your cheeks up and down to circulate the skin. Then, fill your mouth with air to puff up your cheeks as much as possible, hold for a few seconds, and slowly release the air. This technique is effective in preventing smile lines around the cheeks and addressing sagging and drooping in the overall face.

 

Eye Wrinkle Prevention

The skin around the eyes is thin and prone to wrinkles. It's recommended to perform exercises that involve looking alternately to the left and right while moving the eyes as wide as possible. Dr. Kim explains, "Using your fingers to gently massage from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner promotes circulation and relaxes the muscles, which is recommended."

 

However, it may be challenging to achieve significant changes in a short period of time with these methods alone. For fundamental wrinkle improvement and elasticity restoration, an Elastic Band Lifting procedure can be helpful in quickly repairing and strengthening the weakened muscle layer beneath the subcutaneous fat layer. Dr. Kim emphasizes, "Elastic Band Lifting uses a special thread with silicone in the center and polyester spikes on the sides to excellently improve the elasticity and wrinkles of sagging skin. It's crucial to accurately identify the individual's aging progress, degree of sagging, and depth of wrinkles in order to perform the procedure effectively."

 

Through these simple preventative methods, you can protect your skin from the dry autumn air and maintain healthy skin. Efforts towards wrinkle prevention, along with fundamental skin care and healthy habits, will further contribute to effectively preserving skin health.
