The latest studies indicate that we can reduce or reverse lines on forehead and other areas of the face with topically applied creams. Researchers thought that it might be possible, but it took some time to find just the right ingredients to achieve the results. Here’s a look at those ingredients and why they work.
From the deep lines in forehead tissues to those tiny ones at the corners of people’s eyes, all are caused by similar things. If they occur early in life, they are referred to as premature wrinkles. The cause is sometimes a severe illness or nutritional deficiency, but more times than not, they can be traced to overexposure to sunlight.
Because sun damage is something that can occur throughout a person’s life, the idea of reversing it has been met with much resistance by lay-people and scientists, alike. Many so-called experts will still say that the only way to get rid of deep lines on forehead areas is to fill them in by injecting collagen, hyaluronic acid or other materials.
That might be the fastest way to get rid of them, but it doesn’t look natural. The face will look plumper. In most cases, the plumpness does not match with the rest of the face. So, while the lines in forehead tissues may disappear, a truly youthful appearance is not restored.
Some cosmetic surgeons are obviously better than others. A case in point was the recent discovery by the US FDA that some practitioners were using black market Botox to reduce lines in forehead and those around the eyes. The label on the vials indicated that the botulism toxin was not to be used for that purpose, but somehow, the practitioners thought they could get away with it. A number of patients ended up in the hospital with temporary paralysis.
The purpose of Botox injections is not to fill in the lines on forehead and other areas of the face, but to relax the tiny facial muscles, preventing habitual facial expressions. Once again, the look is unnatural.
Due to the risks and side effects of cosmetic procedures, researchers have spent a great deal of time looking at topically applied creams and other natural approaches. They have found that even dietary supplements provide some improvement in the skin’s structure and firmness.
But the biggest benefits have been seen with creams containing the antioxidant coenzyme Q10, especially when the cause of the lines in forehead tissue is due to sun damage. In one study, after six weeks of daily application, researchers saw a 30% reduction in wrinkles. Other studies have shown similar results.
Antioxidants like coenzyme Q10 can help reduce lines on forehead and other facial areas, because they can repair free radical damage, which is what overexposure to sunlight eventually causes. Other nutrients are beneficial, too. For example, the active form of the protein keratin can reduce lines in forehead tissue by improving overall firmness of facial skin. Clinical trials have shown a 40% improvement in firmness after only 18 days of use.
Improving firmness will stretch out lines on forehead and other parts of the face in the same way that the old face lifts used to do. The best advice is to try the new all-natural creams before you resort to cosmetic surgery.
