Anti Aging Treatments Addressing the Cause of Aging?
Anti aging treatments today come in many forms, each addressing either a single believed cause of aging or a multiplicity of attributing factors. While the aging process is not attributed to a single cause, the signs of aging are all due to the effects of protein breakdown. The breakdown of proteins in skin is can be leveraged by a number of factors, including but not limited to UV rays, environmental pollution, lack of antioxidants, dry environments, oxidation reactions and even cold temperatures. The main protein affected throughout the aging process is collagen, although elastin, too, plays a role. The more causes of protein breakdown that are addressed, the greater the efficacy of results of a skin treatment regimen.
