Sun exposure isn't the only factor in skin aging. Scientific studies have demonstrated that facial skin exposed to light from electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, TVs, and LED lighting ages prematurely. This is a slow and progressive skin aging process that compounds with other risk factors like age, direct sun exposure, alcohol and smoking habits, and atmospheric pollution.
How Does Light Cause Skin Aging?
At the beach, in the mountains, in the city, and now in the office, our skin is one of the primary targets of oxidative stress caused by exposure to solar rays and electronic device light. The connection between skin aging and oxidative stress is scientifically well-documented. Specifically, cutaneous aging associated with photoaging - light exposure - combined with solar exposure contributes to increasing epigenetic factors, which are environmental influences capable of modifying our cellular DNA.
Electronic device and LED light affects the dermis by overheating it, promoting dehydration and collagen fiber deterioration. Over time, the combination of various factors, including age, cigarette smoke, excessive alcohol consumption, and time spent in front of computers and smartphones, contributes to altering our skin functions by modifying the expression of small gene portions (SNPs) present in DNA. This leads to signs of premature skin aging in both males and females, without distinction.
Face, Eyes and Dark Circles: Lipogems Treatment
Among the first signs of photoaging damage are dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes, as well as loss of facial skin tone. These signs of premature aging can appear even in young individuals. Modern aesthetic medicine and surgery can help correct aging signs, restore facial volumes, and address dark circles that weigh down the eyes and wrinkles around them. The Lipogems treatment represents a significant advancement, as it utilizes the regenerative capabilities of mesenchymal stem cells derived from microfragmented adipose tissue.
Unlike traditional lipofilling, Lipogems is an advanced regenerative technique that harnesses the anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties of stem cells present in adipose tissue. The microfragmentation process activates mesenchymal stem cells, enabling them to exert their regenerative action over an extended period. This patented technology maintains adipose tissue integrity, preserving its vascular structure and extracellular matrix, fundamental elements for treatment efficacy.
