Some people live to eat, rather than eat to live. This mindset leads many people to choose foods they enjoy, especially sweet treats. However, eating sweets can have hidden risks, one of which is making your skin age faster and causing wrinkles.
If you’re curious about how eating too many sweets can make your skin look older and what you can do to prevent it, let’s find out in this article!
The effects of eating too many sweets
When it's hot outside, many people reach for sweet treats like ice cream, soda, or bubble tea to cool down. Eating sweets can become a habit because it gives a quick boost of energy. But eating too many sweets can cause these issues:
Health risks
When you eat a lot of sweets, your blood sugar levels increase, which can make your body unbalanced and lower your immune system. This can lead to serious illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes, liver problems, high blood pressure, and Alzheimer’s.
Eating too many sweets can also cause weight gain, as the body turns sugar into fat. This leads to weight problems and obesity.
Skin health
If you eat too many sweets, your skin can suffer too:
- Collagen and elastin (skin proteins) are damaged.
- Skin loses elasticity.
- Wrinkles and early skin aging appear.
How sweets affect your skin
Ever wonder why you have wrinkles even though you use skincare products? One reason you might overlook is eating more sugar than your body needs daily.
Our skin has collagen and elastin, which act like a net that keeps the skin firm and plump. But when we eat too much sugar, the sugar molecules attach to the collagen and proteins, making them weaker. This causes skin aging, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Tips to boost collagen and prevent wrinkles early
Preventing skin aging and sagging is possible with treatments offered at MEGA CLINIC. I recommend three procedures that help slow down these skin problems: Sculptra injections, Rejuran injections, and the Ultraformer III skin-tightening device.
These three treatments cover all-around skin care. They not only help prevent and solve problems like sagging skin and early aging but also have other important benefits.
Sculptra injections
Sculptra helps stimulate collagen production, making your skin firmer and more youthful with:
- Plump and firm the skin
- Skin lifting
- Stronger, healthier skin
- A younger-looking face
After Sculptra you’ll notice firmer skin in about 4 weeks, and within 3 months, sagging decreases significantly.
Rejuran injection
One of the most popular skin treatments at MEGA CLINIC is Rejuran. Rejuran is known as a “Meso Bright” treatment. It uses salmon DNA, which repairs and restores damaged skin cells on a deeper level. Rejuran also replaces worn-out skin cells with new hyaluronic acid and collagen, leading to:
- Stronger, healthier skin
- Glowing, hydrated skin
- Has tight pores
- Makeup applies smoothly
- Within 5-7 days of Rejuran, you’ll notice smoother, refined skin.
Ultraformer III skin tightening
For those who want to stimulate collagen without needles, Ultraformer III is a great choice—especially for beginners worried about injections. Ultraformer III uses high-frequency ultrasound technology to encourage collagen and elastin production in the skin layers. This slows down skin aging, helping to achieve:
- Tighter skin
- Reduced fat in targeted areas
- Reduced wrinkles
- Improved skin elasticity
- ผิวมีความยืดหยุ่น
- Clearer face shape and defined jawline
You’ll see about 10-20% improvement immediately after the procedure, with full collagen results in 1-2 months.
Tips for reducing sugar without feeling depressed
Since our bodies need a balanced amount of nutrients, including sugar, it’s better to “reduce” sugar instead of stopping it completely. Here’s how:
- Gradually reduce sugar intake instead of quitting suddenly. A Weight Loss Pen can help control hunger and snacking.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Choose sugar alternatives instead of regular sugar.
