COPING STRATEGY

Factors that accelerate human aging and coping strategies

Have you noticed that some people seem to age rapidly in a short period of time, as if they have aged about ten years in just a few years or even months? This phenomenon makes people wonder: Why does aging happen so quickly? Does the human body really suddenly accelerate aging at a certain age?

Scientific research shows that human aging does not proceed at a uniform rate, but rather accelerates at certain stages. This accelerated aging is closely related to changes in blood proteins. Through the analysis of plasma proteins in the blood, it was found that protein changes do not occur at a uniform rate with age, but there are three obvious aging peaks, which occur at 34, 60 and 78 years old. This discovery is based on the dynamic changes of the plasma proteome in the human body.

ROOT CAUSE AGING

Collagen loss: the root cause of aging

Collagen plays an extremely important role in the human body. It provides a scaffold for cells, fixes and supports cells, and creates a suitable growth environment for them. The interaction between collagen and cells is very close, and it can regulate many basic behaviors of cells, including adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and migration. In addition, collagen can promote the formation of epithelial tissue by inducing the proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells, thereby maintaining the structure and function of tissues such as skin.

Internal causes: oxidative reactions and free radicals

Free radicals are active substances in the human body. Under normal circumstances, they can cooperate with lymphocytes and T cells to eliminate and dissolve bacteria and foreign bodies that invade the human body, and play a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory role. However, when free radicals are produced excessively, their attack targets are no longer limited to bacteria, but can also cause damage to healthy human cells. The frequency of free radical attacks on cells is extremely high, reaching about 1,000 times per second. Under this high-frequency attack, weaker cells will gradually become sick, age, and eventually die, resulting in collagen loss.

Internal causes: glycation reaction

The human body's energy mainly comes from carbohydrates. When the sugar intake by the human body is not completely consumed, the remaining sugar will react with protein to form advanced glycation end products (AGES). AGES are irreversible damage to the skin. When the collagen in the dermis is glycated, the elasticity of the collagen fibers will decrease significantly, causing the skin to lose tension and become loose, which in turn forms wrinkles.

External factors: ultraviolet rays

The damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin cannot be ignored. The longer the wavelength of ultraviolet rays, the greater the harm to the skin. Short-wave ultraviolet rays can penetrate the dermis, while medium-wave ultraviolet rays can enter the epidermis. When ultraviolet rays irradiate the skin, they will cause the decomposition and denaturation of elastin and collagen in the skin, and will also cause abnormal deposition of elastic fibers, causing wrinkles to deepen and thicken. This skin aging phenomenon caused by ultraviolet rays is called photoaging.

RREVENTIVE STRATEGY

Strategies to prevent aging 1. Sun protection

Photoaging is one of the main causes of exogenous aging of human skin, accounting for up to 80%. Therefore, it is very important to take good sun protection measures. Especially in summer, when going out, you should adopt a combination of physical and chemical sun protection, such as using sunscreen, parasols, etc., to effectively resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin.

Cleansing and moisturizing every day are the basis of skin care. In addition, you can also use skin care products containing anti-aging ingredients, such as retinol, phospholipids, astaxanthin, vitamin C, etc. These ingredients can help fight free radicals and promote collagen production, thereby delaying skin aging.

Sufficient sleep is essential for the body's recovery and repair. Staying up late, lack of sleep or irregular work and rest schedules can lead to endocrine disorders, which in turn accelerates the aging process. It is recommended to ensure about 7 hours of sleep a day to maintain the body's normal physiological functions.

Intense pulsed light therapy devices use intense pulsed light to act on deep skin tissues to produce a photothermal effect, which rearranges the elastic fibers and collagen fibers in the deep layers of the skin. This treatment method is often used to improve skin problems caused by photoaging, has a significant anti-aging effect, and can delay the aging process.

5、Long pulse laser treatment

The long pulse laser therapy device uses a long pulse laser of a specific wavelength to penetrate into the dermis and accurately stimulate the activity of fibroblasts, thereby promoting the regeneration and reorganization of collagen and elastic fibers. Its photothermal effect can deeply heat the skin tissue, activate the self-repair mechanism of cells, enhance the elasticity and firmness of the skin, achieve the improvement of facial contours, and effectively improve problems such as skin sagging, fine lines and large pores. This treatment is suitable for aging symptoms such as photoaging and decreased skin elasticity. It can also brighten the skin tone and restore the skin to a youthful state.

Water light needle is a treatment method that injects hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis through microneedle injection. Hyaluronic acid can replenish nutrients to the dermis and play a role in moisturizing and hydrating. At the same time, it can also stimulate the production of collagen, thereby improving the skin's aging fine lines and improving the skin's moisture, glossiness and firmness.
