by Richie Mont

Wrinkles- How do they form?

Wrinkles form as we age. Our face begins aging soon after we cross our twenties. It begins with fine lines on the face. As we age, the fine lines become deeper. At the same time our facial expression makes permanent changes in the skin. We develop laugh lines, lines on the forehead, etc. As we age the collagen that is the main constituent of our dermis begins breaking down. Let us see what happens s than and how a collagen injection, which takes minutes, can bring back the youth back.

Collagen- the wonder material

Collagen is a protein. It is mainly found in the dermis, the layer below epidermis (top layer) of the skin. this collagen in the dermis supports the epidermis. without the support of collagen the epidermis would collapse on the muscles and bones. The collagen gives us the plump and young look. Collagen forms the structure on which the epidermis rests. You can think of pillars in a building that support the roof. Collagen does similarly to support the epidermis.

Collagen- why it breaks down?

As we age, the collagen begins breaking don. Sun is the main culprit. As the collagen breaks, the skin develops wrinkles. The skin sags. In the youth collagen is replaced fast. But as we age, this replacement becomes slow. So there is insufficient collagen in the dermis and we begin looking old. What can be done about replacing this collagen? Let us find out.

Collagen Injections- it takes minutes

Doctors inject collagen below the wrinkled skin. The source of collagen is commonly bovine. If your doctor suspects that you may develop allergy to bovine collagen, he/she may use human collagen. As the collagen is injected, it removes the wrinkle in minutes and makes the face as young as it was earlier.

Skin Clinic has medical assistant too

There are many skin clinics in Jakarta. If you need to treat skin disorders, choose the one that has skin specialists or dermatology physician as consultant or supervisor or as the one who handles the treatment directly. With this tip, you’ll get more safety compare to beauty clinics only.

I have been to several big skin centers. They are very professional in terms of service and representation of the clinics to the public. The medical assistants there dress up and are pretty. Such a good strategy since they are promoting a skin center. There are several jobs that medical assistant takes care of: arrange patient appointments, filing patient records, assisting dermatologist during treatment, prepare equipments to be used by dermatologist.

Of course, after they graduate from medical assistant schools, they were trained specifically to handle situation in skin clinic. Every medical discipline has different characteristics. In order to bring high standard service to patients, these clinics invest on staffs trainings.

I always get satisfaction whenever I get the treatment in my favorite skin clinic.

New stretch mark cream

Last Sunday I went to Puri Mall and just browsed through the department store. Since I wanted to update what's new with Dewi Sri Spa products, so I dropped by at its counter.

I found that they launched Innoshape Stretchmark Lessening Cream. The price is lower than The Body Shop's and Activa's, Rp 144,000.
The beauty consultant informed me that the result can be seen after 4 times of use. Wow, interesting. Even the product from Body Shop that I've been using takes longer time.
To be honest, I can't see the difference of my skin before and during the usage.

I plan to try this product after I finish Body Focus from The Body Shop.

Stretch Marks

According to Kidshealth.org,

Stretch marks are a normal part of puberty for most girls and guys. When a person grows or gains weight really quickly (like during puberty), that person may get fine lines on the body called stretch marks. Stretch marks happen when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. Although the skin is usually fairly elastic, when it's overstretched, the normal production of collagen (the major protein that makes up the connective tissue in your skin) is disrupted. As a result, scars called stretch marks may form.

If you're noticing stretch marks on your body, you're not alone. Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt. Many women get them during pregnancy. And while they're more common in girls, guys can get stretch marks, too.

People who are obese often have stretch marks. Bodybuilders are prone to getting stretch marks because of the rapid body changes that bodybuilding can produce. Stretch marks also may occur if a person uses steroid-containing skin creams or ointments (such as hydrocortisone) for more than a few weeks, or has to take high doses of oral corticosteroids for months or longer.

Same thing happened to me. I started having stretch marks on my behind when I hit puberty.
Also because I have gained weight and now I'm loosing weight.

Nowadays I look for cream or treatment to reduce it or maybe even to eliminate it.
There's cream from Activa, the price is Rp 340,000. It's sold in Guardian or Century Pharmaceutical Store.
I was looking for the one from The Body Shop. I had to wait for one month until it's available.
The product is Body Focus, price is Rp 299,000. It has products for cellulite too.
I'm using it now, the beauty consultant said the result can be seen after 4 weeks of use.

We'll see how it's working.
