How to Get Rid of Wrinkles & Thin Pores on Ones Face
Wrinkles and thin pores on your face are caused naturally by the loosening of collagen and thinning of your dermis, according to "The Sky Type Solution." As you age your collagen fibers loosen and create fine grooves in your face, which can also be caused by smoking, stress and exposure to harsh weather. You can slow down the aging process by keeping your skin moisturized, using over-the-counter skin treatments as well as visiting a dermatologist who can offer options such as Botox to smooth out lines or other dermal fillers to provide temporary wrinkle-free skin. Does this Spark an idea?

Scrub your face twice a week. Biweekly facial scrubs slough away dead skin cells, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and pores. Be sure to choose facial scrubs that are marked as gentle on the bottle, as harsh exfoliating beads can scratch and and cause tiny cuts all over your face. This can lead to red, irritated or swollen skin shortly after using the product.

Get dermabrasion treatments. Your dermatologist may offer dermabrasion, a skin treatment that removes the top layers of skin by surgically scraping the skin to smooth it out. If you are prone to skin reactions or have a dark complexion your dermatologist may advise against getting this procedure as it may worsen your skin rather than help by causing a change in skin pigmentation. The risk associated with dermabrasion include infection and scarring, but these side effects are rare, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Get laser treatments. Laser resurfacing can reduce the appearance of pores and wrinkles on your face by emitting a beam on the problem area, which destroys the epidermis. As the outer layer of skin (epidermis) is destroyed, the layer underneath begins creating new collagen in order to heal the area, which smoothes out the skin. Your skin will be tender, swollen or red shortly after surgery but subsides as time passes. Burns, scarring or hyperpigmentation may occur as a result of the laser resurfacing.

Receive Botox treatments. Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) is a quick office procedure that uses protein to temporarily deaden facial muscles that cause frown lines and wrinkles. The treatment injects the protein directly into the muscle, which can last up to 4 months and causes minor discomfort during the procedure. Temporary swelling, redness, dizziness or tiredness may occur after your procedure is complete and subsides within a few days. Months after the procedure your muscle will regain mobility and cause wrinkles again unless you receive follow-up treatments.
