Defy Aging: Discover the Secrets with Prof. Dr. Ikram Ullah Khan
Anti-Aging Secrets:
1. Micro Aging
We age every day, with collagen production decreasing by 1% every year from the age of 25. Start addressing aging before visible signs appear. Consider using quality products or recommended treatments to delay the onset of aging. Don’t wait for wrinkles to set in before seeking advice; think about micro-aging prevention.
2. Sunscreens
Using high-quality sunscreen is crucial. The sun is a significant contributor to aging, causing pigmentation, brown spots, and collagen reduction. Apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF every 2 to 3 hours when outdoors, ensuring protection from harmful UV rays.
3. Laser Treatment
Skin has two layers: the visible top layer and the deeper layer containing collagen. Treatments for the top layer include lasers, peels, and skin polishing. Deeper-layer treatments involve lasers, radiofrequency, ultrasound devices, injectables like Botox and fillers. The timing for these treatments varies; there’s no universal age to start. Consult with a professional to determine what’s best for you.
