What causes fine lines & wrinkles?
Everybody gets fine lines and wrinkles as they get older and there's no way to entirely avoid them. When you were younger your skin was better at stretching and holding in the moisture because it had an elastic quality due to fibers called elastin. You also produced collagen which helped to prevent wrinkles. As we grow older, our skin loses both collagen and elastin, so skin gets thinner and has trouble getting enough moisture to the epidermis.
The fatty layer that gives skin a plump appearance also begins to disappear, the epidermis starts to sag and dreaded wrinkles form. For some people, this starts between the ages of 30 to 35 while others may reach 50 or 60 before you can even see a wrinkle. This is usually because they have taken good care of their skin over the years and may have more sebum, the skin's natural oil.
Too much sun can greatly accelerate the aging process. Sun-damaged skin is photo-aged through losses of collagen and other skin proteins and so fine lines and wrinkles appear. Over time, these can progress into deep wrinkles and furrows. Photo-aging also causes pigment changes "age spots" (sun-induced freckles), uneven skin tone, spider veins and dilated capillaries.
If you have fine lines and wrinkles that you’re not happy with, then come and see the expert therapist at your local salon providing Totalcare treatments who will have a few tricks up their sleeve.

VitaLift involves pressing a cocktail of positively charged treatment products deep into the skin using a combination of a tiny electric current and vibro massage. This improves blood flow and nutrition, and increases lymphatic activity removing toxins and free radicals, all of which bringing a dramatic improvement to fine lines and wrinkles. Vitalift will instantly stimulate, repair and firm the tissues for a brighter more vibrant complexion.

This is a programme of light therapy that uses different light colours that react with the cytochromes (the parts of the cells that respond to light and colour) in the body. When cytochromes are activated their energy levels go up and that stimulates tissue growth to help reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Other eye products such as Gala Dualift eye contour emulsion soothes and reduces the depth of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes. Dualift will also help to mosturise and to decongest while reducing puffiness, softening and oxidants.
