Our skin is exposed to the external environment for a long time, and is affected by factors such as air pollution, ultraviolet rays and radiation. The originally smooth and delicate skin gradually becomes loose and rough. This phenomenon is called skin oxidation. So, can the oxidized skin be repaired?

SKIN OXIDATION

Skin Oxidation

Skin oxidation is a phenomenon in the aging process of skin cells, which is often figuratively described as "rusting skin". Its core mechanism is the excessive accumulation of free radicals. Free radicals are active molecules with strong oxidizing properties that can attack biological macromolecules in cells, such as collagen and elastic fibers, causing them to decompose and degrade, thereby causing the skin to lose elasticity, become loose, rough, and lose luster.

Typical manifestations of skin oxidation include dull skin color, increased yellowness, increased fine lines and spots, etc. The attack of free radicals has the characteristics of a chain reaction. Once started, it will further expand the scope of oxidation and accelerate cell oxidation and aging. In fact, common skin problems such as spots, dullness, wrinkles, sagging, and acne are closely related to oxidation, but the damaged parts and degrees are different, resulting in different clinical manifestations.

CAUSE ANALYSIS

Cause Analysis

1. Internal Factors

The natural aging process determined by genes is an internal factor of skin oxidation. With age, the body's antioxidant capacity gradually decreases and the ability to scavenge free radicals weakens.

2. External factors

Ultraviolet radiation, smoking, drinking, irregular diet and other unhealthy lifestyles will significantly aggravate skin oxidation and accelerate the generation of free radicals.

TREATMENT METHOD

Skin anti-oxidation treatment

1. Water light needle

Water light needle uses micro-needle technology to directly deliver hyaluronic acid, antioxidant ingredients and nutrients to the dermis, which can effectively brighten the skin, shrink pores, balance water and oil, and has a significant antioxidant effect. Its mildness makes it more friendly to sensitive skin.

2. Photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive medical beauty project that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. Its principle is to use intense pulsed light of a specific wavelength to penetrate the skin surface and accurately act on target tissues such as pigment particles and hemoglobin in the skin. When these target tissues absorb light energy, photothermal and photochemical effects will occur: pigment particles explode and decompose under the action of light energy, and then are excreted from the body through metabolism, thereby fading spots; at the same time, hemoglobin in the dilated capillaries coagulates under the action of heat, sealing abnormal blood vessels, effectively improving red blood streaks and facial flushing.

In addition, photorejuvenation can stimulate fibroblasts deep in the skin through photothermal stimulation, prompting them to secrete more collagen and elastic fibers, thereby increasing the thickness and elasticity of the skin, improving fine lines, shrinking pores, and making the overall texture of the skin tighter and smoother. This treatment can not only improve the color and texture of the skin, but also has a certain antioxidant effect. By inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors, it enhances the skin's antioxidant capacity and resists the damage of free radicals to the skin.

Photorejuvenation is known as the "panacea for skin beauty" and is highly respected in the medical beauty industry because of its simple operation, significant effects and few side effects. It usually takes 3-5 treatments to achieve the best results, with 3-4 weeks between each treatment to ensure that the skin has enough time to repair and regenerate.

3. Long pulse laser treatment

Long pulse laser is based on selective photothermal action. Its specific wavelength can be highly absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin. After melanin absorbs energy, the pigment particles are destroyed and decomposed due to the thermal effect, which is used to treat spots; after hemoglobin is absorbed, the blood in the blood vessels heats up, causing damage to the vascular endothelium and occlusion of the blood vessels, which can solve vascular lesions. In addition, the heat generated by the laser will also denature the collagen and elastic fibers in the skin, start the skin remodeling process, and then generate new fibers, making the skin tighter and smoother, and improving the skin quality.

4. Picosecond laser treatment

Picosecond dot array emits extremely short pulses of high-energy laser. At the moment of acting on the skin, the powerful photomechanical effect breaks the pigment particles into tiny fragments, which are easy for macrophages to phagocytize, thereby eliminating pigment problems such as spots. At the same time, the tiny damage caused by the laser can activate the skin's self-repair, stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen, rearrange skin fibers, improve skin roughness and fine lines, and improve skin texture.

DAILY NURSING

Daily care for skin anti-oxidation

1. Sun protection

Ultraviolet rays are an important external factor that causes skin oxidation, so sun protection is an indispensable step in anti-oxidation care. Daily use of physical sun protection measures such as sunscreen, sun hats and sunglasses can effectively delay skin oxidation and aging.

2. Daily skin care

Choose skin care products rich in antioxidant ingredients, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, polyphenols, etc., which can effectively neutralize free radicals and enhance the skin's antioxidant capacity.

3. Living habits

Maintain a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, and reduce the generation of free radicals. Eat more foods rich in antioxidants, such as blueberries, green tea, nuts, etc., and avoid smoking and excessive drinking to reduce exogenous oxidative stress.

4. Exercise

Persist in moderate aerobic exercise, such as 30-40 minutes of brisk walking, jogging or swimming every day, which can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity, promote blood circulation, and make the skin healthier.

Skin oxidation is a complex physiological process, but through scientific treatment and daily care, it can effectively delay its progress, repair damaged skin, and restore the skin to a healthy state.
