How sugar ages your skin: the process of glycation
What is glycation? Glycation is a reaction that occurs in the body where sugar molecules, such as glucose or fructose, bond with protein molecules to form a new, differently-shaped compound. These new substances are known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and are responsible for many of the negative effects of glycation [1].
Collagen, elastin and skin structure - Glycation's impact on the skin is multi-fold, and the process contributes to numerous signs of skin ageing. It changes structural elements in the skin, including damaging collagen and elastin.
What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a powerful light source to improve the appearance of skin. It is a popular treatment for a variety of skin concerns, such as sun damage, age spots, freckles, and rosacea. The light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the pigmented areas, causing them to break down and fade over time.
IPL stimulates collagen production, which can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. This treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands and other body areas. It is suitable for most skin types.
