Anti-Aging Do miracle remedies really look better?
"Anti-aging" has become a huge market: countless creams and different methods promise that you can reach even with 40, 50 or 60 years, a fresh, youthful appearance. What can such supposed "wonder drugs" really do?
Flawless skin until old age
The sale of so-called "anti-aging" products is getting more and more profits. Countless products and methods promise consumers even at the age of 40, 50 or 60 to have flawless, velvety-soft skin. And not only are more funds being offered, but the number of exclusive funds is also increasing. For example, at the beginning of the year, a strong cosmetic trend was reported for luxury skin care products. What but supposed "miracle drugs" such as creams and syringes actually can, experts reveal in a message from the news agency dpa.

It is important to mention that aging can not be stopped naturally. But you can do a lot to look more youthful. The skin is and remains the most important characteristic. "Whether we're okay or not, you can literally see on the surface of our body. Therefore, we also speak of beautiful skin when we mean a youthful skin, "said the dermatologist Uta Schlossberger to the agency. Moisture is one of the best anti aging formulas. This ensures that the skin is padded from the inside and small wrinkles disappear. However, over the years, human tissue loses the ability to absorb moisture. According to some dermatologists, the so-called deep hydration provides relief: "The skin is provided with valuable moisture from the inside. During treatment, microreservoirs of stabilized hyaluronic acid are injected into the skin, "says dermatologist Stefan Duve. This method costs several hundred euros per treatment. Much cheaper come away those who fill the moisture depots by proper care for mature skin. Experts recommend special day creams and night creams. According to dermatologists, the skin also over-dries due to frequent washing and sunbathing. Therefore, this should be more limited.
Collagen ensures firmness of the skin
Those who choose to use syringes should know that hyaluronic acid is a pure natural product that captures free radicals and cushions the skin from the inside. Although this "miracle weapon" in human connective tissue is gradually losing its effect from the age of 25 years, the research is now so far that hyaluronic acid, which is today obtained from microorganisms such as wheat, can also be absorbed from the outside, for example by creams and serums , The protein collagen, which is the main constituent of the connective tissue at around 60 percent and provides the skin with firmness, is also a key factor in the condition of the skin. The production of collagen also decreases with the years. However, there are creams that stimulate the body's collagen production and thus help to streamline.
Costly treatment does not last long
The dpa reports another possibility, the so-called "medical needling". "The natural self-renewal mechanisms of the skin are activated naturally and the new production of collagen and elastin fibers is stimulated," said the doctor for Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging, Roman Zirwen. In this process, so-called micro-injuries stimulate the formation of new collagen, which is evenly distributed. "During the treatment, regenerating agents, including hyaluronic acid and vitamins, are introduced into the skin from the outside, which enhances the effect" Zirwen. The effect of the costly treatment does not last very long and must be repeated more often. According to the information, people who are prone to bleeding or had to undergo radiation treatment in the past year should refrain from treatment.
Healthy diet plays an essential role
But for healthy skin you do not necessarily have to visit plastic surgeons or dermatologists. You can also do a lot for yourself. "Healthy eating together with adequate sleep and abstinence from nicotine are still the most effective factors against premature aging," said Uta Schlossberger. In addition, today minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc are established in the anti-aging diet. This also applies to polyphenols, which occur, for example, in peanuts, grapes or berries. In addition, another food - applied externally - can help. Green tea in cosmetics contributes to skin health. Green tea is a radical scavenger, which makes it a good ingredient for facial care, health experts recently reported. (Ad)
