This concerns the use of retin A, and quite possibly niacinimide.
So lets say an individual has a nasolabial fold. This would mean that the fold itself is above the skin/flesh below causing the fold. This would make one think that the dermal layer below the fold is less than that of the dermal layer actually directly underneath the fold. So with retin A, maybe it would be a good idea to simply use it Underneath the fold, as that is where the dermal layer would appear to be the thinnest. So if this was done, maybe in time the dermal layer in question would thicken up and sort of balance out with the dermal layer above it, because if you were to use a product all over that entire area, both areas would presumably raise lets says half a millimeter, so the uneven ration of how thick the dermal layer is, would still be there. Just a thought...
any ideas? |

| A lot of time the nasolabial fold is due to the fat pad slipping down and toward the center of the face. That is why I had Thermigen. |

I agree with Softskin. It is either due to the fat pad slipping (or it increased in size) and is now heavier than the skin below.
Nonie would probably also say that overbuilt muscles (also too heavy) can cause the fold. |

I agree with Softskin and bethany. And yes, overbuild of the cheeks can cause them to stick out giving pronounced nasolabial lines in people who do face exercises. But for people who don't do face exercises, muscle laxity, loss in skin elasticity, sliding down of fat pad, even bone deterioration all can contribute to the sag in cheeks that causes N/L lines.
Retin-A may address the skin thickness but I don't think it can really fix the loss in volume and the sag under the skin that is mainly responsible for the lines. |
