What is the difference between wrinkles and fine line?

Wrinkles and Fine lines are two basic indications of skin maturing. Whether you have forehead wrinkles or crow's feet, another well-known fact is that fine lines and wrinkles can be an absolute pain to deal with. While we’re all about embracing aging skin, it doesn't damage to get your skin a little TLC and lessen the presence of wrinkles all over all the while.

What are the fine lines and wrinkles?     

Fine lines are created when you repeatedly contract the same muscles in your face day after day, according to the Dermatologist. With continued use of those same muscles for years, those fine lines mature and turn into deep wrinkles that become permanent. So, the difference between fine lines and wrinkles is that wrinkles are more prominent and harder to reduce the appearance of.

How to manage fine lines and wrinkles?

While you can’t control the natural aging process or your genetic predisposition to aging skin, you can manage other environmental factors that contribute to aging skin and make wrinkles worse. Things like sun exposure, smoking, and air pollution can all age your skin more quickly than it naturally would.

Your skin care routine also plays a huge part in keeping fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Consider adding the following anti-aging tips to your repertoire to manage the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on your face—and even help prevent them in the first place.

Tip 1: Maximize Hydration

As we know, skin naturally loses moisture as you get older, so the key to any good anti-aging routine is to put back what’s lost. To maximize your skin’s hydration levels, layer serum under moisturizer. Moisturizer literally traps hydration on your skin, which helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face over time.

After you step out of the shower or finish cleansing your complexion, follow these next two steps, in this order: face serum and face moisturizer

Tip 2: take care of skin near eye area

The skin around your eye area is very delicate. it’s the thinnest skin on your entire face,so it needs extra moisture & care. Whatever your age, skin type, or skin care concerns, consider investing in a quality eye cream that will keep the eye area hydrated. Apply any good eye cream twice daily, every morning and evening.

Tip 3: Use SPF

It’s a common fact that, every time you are outdoors without sun protection, the sun’s rays are damaging your skin, It can make you look years older than you naturally would. SPF, Sun protection can help slow down the signs of sun damage. The key is to use it every single day, rain or shine, and reapply it at least every two hours, plus immediately after swimming or sweating.

Beyond wearing sunscreen every day, taking other sun protection measures should be part of your anti-aging skincare routine. It’s advisable that use shade between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and wear protective accessories like Cap and sunglasses.

Tip 4: Use an overnight mask or moisturizer

Give your skin a moisture boost and address your aging skin concerns while you sleep with the help of an overnight mask. When you’re resting, your skin is actively refreshing itself while you catch your z’s, making it the prime time to wear a super-hydrating mask or cream.

Vitalize Chemical Peel help to reduce signs of Aging

A Vitalize Chemical Peel is ideal for treating and improving the effects of aging, photo-damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation abnormalities, superficial scarring, acne, and melasma. This is a minimally invasive step to achieve healthy-looking skin.

The Vitalize Peel is a chemical peel that can be used on any skin type for mild to moderate skin imperfections. The combination of ingredients can help reduce signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage), create a radiance of your skin, and helps with acne-prone skin, pigmentation and even melasma.

The benefit of Vitalize Chemical Peel    

1. Correct sun damaged skin,
2. Smooth fine wrinkles,
3. Reduces mild scarring,
4. Improves irregular discoloration,
5. Smoothes rough texture,
6. Improves acne conditions

This procedure takes about 15-30 minutes, and you can sit back and relax as the 3 steps are applied to your desired skin area (face, neck, chest or hands). Patient response varies from pain-free to temporary mild burning. You will leave the office with glowing skin, only to get better with time.  The peeling process (bye-bye old, dull skin!) typically lasts for 2-5 days, and reveals your best looking skin when the peeling is complete. Some redness is normal until peeling is complete. A series of Vitalize peels is recommended every 3-4 weeks and we will tailor a regimen specific to you for ongoing results and maintenance.

How do Chemical Peels rejuvenate the skin?

Chemical peels produce partial thickness injury to the skin, the depth of which is determined by the chemical agents. Following the trauma to the skin, the wound healing process reorients the new skin connective tissue. Collagen remodeling is the main reason chemical peels decrease sun damage and reduce wrinkles. Deep dermal regeneration can take weeks to months. The epidermis, however, heals in a few days giving the skin an improved appearance, more even skin color, smoother texture and overall, a healthier glow.

How long will the effect of the chemical peel last?

Aging skin is a chronic natural phenomenon. A single peel can reverse some of the clinical and histological signs of aging, but once the skin has healed from the peel, the aging process starts again. Therefore, a daily program specifically designed products that can reverse the signs of aging is necessary to maintain long-term improvement.

How long should Vitalize Peel remain on the skin before washing?

Dermatologist, recommends washing the face in the evening. If the patient chooses to wash the face sooner, they should wait 1 to 2 hours until the yellow tinge completely disappears.

Can Vitalize Chemical Peel be performed on the neck and décolletage chest area?

Yes , Vitalize Chemical Peel can be used on the neck and chest to improve fine wrinkling and blotchy discoloration including brown age spots. One peel is usually not sufficient enough to give the best results. Therefore, non-facial peels are usually repeated several times to achieve best results.

How long after receiving Vitalize Peel can one be exposed to the sun?

Sun avoidance during the recovery period is critical. After the peeling is complete, one can resume regular activities, but daily use of a a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is imperative for maintaining healthy skin.

What is Dandruff and how to treat it?

Dandruff is a common skin problem. You may notice flakes that fall off your scalp and cling to your hair or land on your clothing. Your scalp may itch, too. Those dry, white flakes of skin you brush off your collar or shoulders is Dandruff. But it can be embarrassing and itchy. Dandruff really isn't about your hair, or how often you wash it. Instead, it's about the skin on your scalp.

Skin cells that grow and die off too fast are the problem. Exactly why that happens isn't clear. A very common fungus called malassezia may contribute to dandruff. This fungus lives on the scalp of most healthy adults without causing any problems. One theory is that the immune system of someone with dandruff may overreact to that fungus. 

Cause: One common cause is seborrheic dermatitis or seborrhea. Some people with dandruff may also have seborrheic dermatitis in other areas of the body, such as their ears, the center of the face, and the center of the chest.  

Several things can cause dandruff: 

• Seborrheic dermatitis: This is oily, itchy, irritated skin that flakes off on your scalp. It also can happen with your eyebrows, groin, or chest hair.
• Contact dermatitis: Haircare products like shampoo, gel, or dye can irritate your scalp and cause redness, itchiness, and flakes.
• Fungus called malassezia is yeast that thrives on the oil on your scalp.
• If you don’t shampoo your hair often enough, oily skin can flake off.
• Dry skin can lead to small flakes on your scalp. You’ll probably have dry skin all over your body.
• Male hormones: Men are more likely to get dandruff than women.
• People whose immune systems can’t fight off diseases, for instance people who have HIV, may be more likely to get dandruff.

Home remedies:

• Treatment aims to stop the dandruff by slowing down the reproduction of skin cells or counteracting the yeast production that might be the cause.
• The strategy will depend the patient’s age and the severity of the condition. However, there are some lifestyle changes and home remedies that can help; these include:
• Managing stress: stress can trigger dandruff in some people, so managing it better can reduce symptoms.
• Shampoo more often: if you have oily hair and scalp, washing daily can help.
• Sunlight: a little exposure to sunlight can be helpful.
• Tea tree oil: although there is little evidence, some people believe that preparations that include tea tree oil help reduce symptoms of dandruff. It can cause allergic reactions in some people, so use caution.

Treatment

Shampoos and scalp products are available over the counter at most stores and pharmacies. These can control seborrheic dermatitis, but they cannot cure it. An Expert dermatologist may properly treat it with combination of drugs shampoo after complete scalp scan.

Most anti-dandruff or anti-fungal shampoos contain at least one of the following active ingredients:

• Ketoconazole: An effective anti-fungal. Shampoos containing this ingredient can be used at any age.
• Selenium sulfide: This reduces the production of natural oils by glands in the scalp. It is effective at treating dandruff.
• Zinc pyrithione: This slows down the growth of yeast.
• Coal tar: This has a natural anti-fungal agent. Dyed or treated hair may become stained by long-term usage. Tar soaps may also make the scalp more sensitive to sunlight, so users should wear a hat when outside. Coal tar can also be carcinogenic in high doses.
• Salicylic acids: These help the scalp get rid of skin cells. They do not slow down the reproduction of skin cells. Many “scalp scrubs” contain salicylic acids. Treatment can sometimes leave the scalp dry and make skin flaking worse.
• Tea-tree oil: Derived from the Australian Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), many shampoos now include this ingredient. It has long been used as an anti-fungal, an antibiotic, and an antiseptic. Some people are allergic to it.

How to protect hand-skin while frequent hand washes

During this corona epidemic, doctor advice us or frequent hand wash and use of sanitizer. Frequent hand wash may damage our hand skin tissues. For this issue we ask an expert advice that how to protect our skin tissue. DR. manju keshri from KEMPS skin clinic. Vaishali, Ghaziabad. She is a famous dermatologist provide us some tips

Wash with warm water

To clean your hands from germs dr. says to wash hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. Making sure to cover palms, backs of hands, fingers, in between fingers, wrists, and ingernails.She said lukewarm water is best rather than hot.“Very hot will eventually dry things out and doesn’t improve efficacy,” she said.

Use moisturizing soap

Always try to use soap that have moisturizer because some soap can strip the skin and cause them to be dry and cracked, she says to wash your hands with soap that’s moisturizing. “For example, soap with a creamy consistency. You should also look out for soaps with ingredients such as glycerin and lanolin. Also, try to avoid soap bars,”.skin care expert and aesthetician, also suggested staying away from bar soaps.

“The binders that hold a bar of soap together naturally have a high pH, which will cause unnecessary dryness. Instead, choose liquid soaps since they are generally less drying to the skin,”.

Apply moisturizer:  

After frequent hand wash, water isn’t sealed into the skin after washing, it can dry out your hand.

“The reason is that water acts like a magnet and it will attract water out from the deepest layers of the skin and evaporate into the dry air. The result is even tighter, drier skin. To prevent this from happening, be sure to immediately apply hand cream afterward. Even a light layer will do,”

Dermatologist  suggests using creams or ointments rather than lotions, which she said have too much water content, and therefore don’t block water from escaping the skin.

She said moisturizers help with skin care because they:

• Restore the barrier function of the epidermis
• Provide a protective film
• Fill in the small crevices between scales
• Increase the water content of the epidermis
• Soothe the skin
• Improve the skin’s appearance and texture

Wear gloves

In addition to applying a moisturizer to damp skin after washing, she said to soak your hands in plain water for 5 minutes, then apply a moisturizer, and wear gloves for 1 to 2 hours.

“This will ensure that the surface moisture gets where it needs to go,” For really chapped hands, she  said to heavily moisturize hands with thick cream and wear cotton gloves overnight.

“Much like a facial sheet mask, the gloves will keep your hands moisturized for 6 to 8 hours allowing the skin on the hands to get some needed TLC,” she said. Wearing gloves on cold, windy days can also keep the wind from further damaging dry skin, added Friedman.

Is Laser Hair removal is safe during CORONA epidemic?

We are aware of the increase in a number of corona virus cases in the Globe and are continuously monitoring and reviewing this matter, especially as it pertains to our patients and staff. Our greatest concern is for our patients who are on prescriptions for skin, hair, or mucosal diseases that may alter and weaken the function of their immune system. For patients on these medications, if they feel like they have an infection of any sort, we recommend they consider holding their medication until they feel well again—having recovered from the infection.

As for as laser hair removal is concern it’s the safest way if you are healthy and Non-infected. The equipment is well sanitized and the center also sanitize after every laser hair removal. The dermatologist also uses disposable gloves, N95 mask and disposable bed sheets. 

For laser hair removal a variety of laser systems are now available. Ruby lasers, Alexandrite lasers, Nd-YAG lasers and white light machines can all be used to remove hair with varying degrees of success. The size of the area covered by each pulse of laser energy varies with the machine used.

Results: Initial reports of laser hair removal were extremely promising, and some research went so far as to claim that it may be permanent, but this is generally not the case. A few patients do not respond to the laser treatment at all but many will have good results. Regrowth is not only less dense but also less coarse. In the ideal patient, with dark hair and pale skin, the hair usually disappears for two to three months and then slowly regrows. Repeat treatment is usually required several times a year.

Safety:  When laser treatment is carried out it is essential that all those within the treatment room, you and the staff, should wear protective goggles or glasses. Entry to the room is strictly controlled whilst treatment is being given.

Complications and problems: Laser light can damage the skin's pigment and sometimes the treatment area may become unusually pale or dark several months after treatment. For this reason, it is always wise to carry out a small trial of treatment in an unobtrusive area before proceeding to extensive treatment. The test patch is examined six to eight weeks later for unwanted side effects and to carefully assess success before proceeding to further treatment. Special care is needed when treating patients with black or brown skin. The Nd-YAG laser may be most suitable for dark skins as it causes less skin damage. After treatment you should stay out of the sun as exposure of recently laser treated skin to strong sunshine may increase the risk of pigmentation problems.

It is advisable to take prior appointment via call and book a slot for laser hair removal. KEMPS Skin Clinic, Vaishali Sec. 4, Ghaziabad provide best Hair and skin treatment during corona epidemic.

What is coronavirus and how to protect yourself?

Corona virus continues to spread around the world, prompting governments to step up efforts to contain the spread of the disease it causes, officially known as COVID-19.

More than 2.11 Lac people have died globally from the disease, while more than 30.4 Lac infections have been confirmed in dozens of countries, according to the World Health Organization, which has now declared the outbreak a pandemic.

A Covid-19 is a kind of common virus that causes an infection in your nose, sinuses, or upper throat. Most corona viruses aren't dangerous. COVID-19 is a disease that can cause what doctors call a respiratory tract infection. It can affect your upper respiratory tract (sinuses, nose, and throat) or lower respiratory tract (windpipe and lungs). 

How is the corona virus spreading?

The coronavirus - known as COVID-19 - spreads from person to person in close proximity, similar to other respiratory illnesses, such as the flu. Droplets of bodily fluids - such as saliva or mucus-from an infected person are dispersed in the air or on surfaces by coughing or sneezing. These droplets can come into direct contact with other people or can infect those who pick them up by touching infected surfaces and then their face. According to scientists, coughs and sneezes can travel several feet and stay suspended in the air for up to 10 minutes.

It is not yet known how long the virus can survive outside a host but, in other viruses, it ranges from a few hours to months.

Can people be immune to the Coronavirus?

Viruses that spread quickly usually come with lower mortality rates and vice versa.Some level of immunity will naturally develop over time, but this means that those with compromised immune systems, such as the elderly or sick, are most at risk of becoming severely ill or dying from the coronavirus.

Symptoms of COVID-19: The main symptoms include:

• Fever
• Coughing
• Shortness of breath
• Chills, sometimes with shaking
• Body aches
• Headache
• Sore throat
• Loss of smell or taste

The virus can lead to pneumonia, respiratory failure, septic shock, and death. Many COVID-19 complications may be caused by a condition known as cytokine release syndrome or a cytokine storm. This is when an infection triggers your immune system to flood your bloodstream with inflammatory proteins called cytokines. They can kill tissue and damage your organs.

If you notice the following severe symptoms in yourself or a loved one, get medical help right away:

• Trouble breathing or shortness of breath
• Ongoing chest pain or pressure
• New confusion
• Can’t wake up fully
• Bluish lips or face

If you’re infected, symptoms can show up in as few as 2 days or as many as 14. It varies from person to person.

How to protect yourself to get infected by Corona virus

• Wash your hands. Often with soap and water or clean them with an alcohol-based sanitizer. This kills viruses on your hands.
• Practice social distancing.  Because you can have and spread the virus without knowing it, you should stay home as much as possible. If you do have to go out, stay at least 6 feet away from others.
• Cover your nose and mouth in public. It is advised if you are going out to public place you must cover your face with mask.
• Don’t touch your face. Corona viruses can live on surfaces you touch for several hours. If they get on your hands and you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, they can get into your body.
• Clean and disinfect. You can clean first with soap and water, but disinfect surfaces you touch often, like tables, doorknobs, light switches, toilets, faucets, and sinks. Use a mix of household bleach and water (1/3 cup bleach per gallon of water, or 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water) or a household cleaner that’s approved to treat Coronavirus.

How skin aging is related to stress ?

The skin aging is highly complex and the state of mental tension that usually accompanies this process can be the cause of great stress. Those within the aging population who suffer from chronic stress may be susceptible to cellular aging as a result of higher levels of anticipated threats in daily life. Psychological stress has been linked to the stimulation of the autonomic nervous system, renin-angiotensin system and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system, contributing to inflammation, oxidative stress and DNA damage that influence all tissues, including the skin. 

If you’re stressed, your skin may suffer, in turn only stressing you out more. Adding aging to the mix can add to the effects on the skin as wrinkles, sagging skin and dark spots and circles start to occur on their own. 

Genetic studies have linked stress to cellular damage through oxidative stress and shortened telomeres.

Skin Aging: Common Signs: Here are the most common signs of stressed out skin.  

Dark circles under your eyes: When your body is under stress, the capillaries under your eyes can break, leaving you with dark circles. Once the stress dissipates, your body can heal. But long-term stress can cause permanent dark circles.

Bags under your eyes: One of the worst side effects of stress is not being able to sleep. When you lose sleep, fluid builds under your eyes, giving your eyes a puffy, tired look. When you do get your sleep, this can be corrected. However, continuous stress makes this unsightly feature permanent.

Wrinkles: When worry and stress have you fixated on certain problems, your brow is constantly furrowed or your mouth remains tight and pursed. If you’re constantly frowning or your mouth is often tight, these stress lines can become permanent.

Skin Aging: The Warning Signs of Stress:

There are many warning signs of stress that are often ignored because we are too caught up in our busy schedules. If you find that your skin is duller than usual and you are suffering from the symptoms below it may be time to take a step back and reassess your routine, schedule and overall health.

Poor sleep: If you’re up most of the night worrying, then you’ll probably feel the effects of it the next day. Constant fatigue from nights of poor sleep is a clear warning signal that your mind is unable to rest due to stress factors.

Gray hairs: Gray hairs can be a sign of natural aging, but it can also be a sign of increased stress. If you’ve never had gray hairs appear and are below the age of 30, it may be a sign worth considering.

Skin rashes: Skin rashes like eczema and hives are pretty strong indicators that your immune system is weakening due to stress or anxiety. If you are not prone to skin rashes, the appearance of one is likely an indicator of stress and skin irritation. There are over-the-counter topical creams and medications that can relieve the itchiness. However, in order to prevent a recurrence it’s important to assess your stress levels.

Body aches: Common warning signs of stress are various body aches. If you feel like you’ve run a marathon or have spent hours in the gym but in reality are just trying to get out of bed in the morning, it’s likely due to stress. Neck and back aches as well as headaches and tense muscles are all reactions to an overworked and tense state of mind.

Rapid heartbeat or chest pains: One of the scariest warning signs of stress are chest pains or a rapid heartbeat as they could both indicate a heart attack. If you experience these pains, it’s important to consult a medical professional. While you may not be having a heart attack, you most certainly are overstressed.

Moments of stress and anxiety are normal in life however; prolonged stress can lead to significant damage to the body, mind and skin. Finding a way to manage it through meditation, exercise and a healthy diet will go a long way in slowing down the aging process and restoring a healthy quality of life.

How to prevent further aging:

Many factors affect how visible your signs of aging will be. Some you can control, and some you cannot.

·         Use sunscreen

·         Make sure you remove all makeup before bed

·         Follow proper sleep  schedule

·         Eat a balanced diet

·         Stay hydrated

·         Get active, Do yoga

·         Stop smoking

·         Practice stress management
