Skin wrinkling

Botulin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, is among the most powerful poisons and can cause death in a very small dose of 0.0003 (xg/kg. It acts by paralyzing the muscles, so that breathing stops. In recent years, it was discovered that it can also be used to paralyze the muscles that cause skin wrinkles, and so has found use in the facial cosmetics industry for improving the appearances of aged people.

Your skin wrinkles, your hair turns gray, your hairline recedes, you can t see things up close, and you don t heal as quickly. Also, as you become older your muscles stiffen and the connective tissues become less elastic. Healthy aging may slow you down, but it doesn t stop you. 

Smoking causes several cosmetic changes too. Tobacco stains teeth and fingers. Smoke odor on breath, clothes, and hair may be offensive to others. Smokers are nearly five times more likely to develop more and deeper skin wrinkles, and have a higher risk for baldness and prematurely gray hair.

Tretinoin is also used as an antiwrinkle cream. There is disagreement on the mechanism and there may be more than one. Some improvement may be attributable to the irritation the drug causes. There is an increase in epidermal cell turnover, shedding older cells and thickening the skin. Also the drug may combine with epidermal retinoic acid receptors, thereby decreasing keratin production. Keratin can contribute to skin wrinkling (13).

A youthful state of skin is generally measured by its elasticity and tautness. Collagen and elastin in the dermis contribute to these properties. However, with age and adverse environmental effects such as UV radiation, lack of moisture, etc., the elasticity and tautness of skin decreases and the skin wrinkles and shows sign of aging. Exposure to UV radiation and aging leads to a decrease in hyaluronic acid and polysaccharides and excessive production of an enzyme called elastase. This enzyme destroys elastin and leads to loss of skin elasticity.
