Genetics influence skin type, but environmental factors (like sun exposure) are controllable. Good habits can outweigh genetic predispositions.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger the skin's healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. It improves skin density and reduces fine lines.
Smoking significantly accelerates aging by breaking down collagen and elastin. The repetitive pursing of lips also deepens lines around the mouth.
Using too much pressure or excessive frequency. This strips the skin's natural oils, compromises the protective barrier, and causes irritation, which ultimately accelerates aging rather than preventing it. Gentle consistency is key.
