Bryan Johnson's top 3 tips for reducing wrinkles

All of us want youthful skin. A glowing and plump-looking skin is every other person’s dream. No wonder the ‘anti-aging’ products and treatments industry is booming. The youthfulness starts to fade as we age, and it's completely natural. Aging also brings wrinkles, which not many are fans of. Health influencer and tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, known as the ‘anti-aging millionaire’ amongst netizens, is on a never-ending quest to age in reverse, and he has now revealed his top three strategies for reducing wrinkles. Before delving into his methods, let’s try to understand what wrinkles are.

What are wrinkles

Wrinkles are an inevitable part of aging. They appear as creases, folds, or ridges in the skin as we age. As we grow older, the skin loses elasticity due to declining collagen and elastin production. As a result, the wrinkles appear. External factors like sun exposure and lifestyle choices can also accelerate this process.

Bryan Johnson’s top 3 treatments to reduce wrinkles

Bryan Johnson, who is known for trying out science-based hacks to live longer, first understands how his body is aging. “Like all things I do, measurement is number one. So I use Visia, which is a multi-spectral imaging to get a baseline age on my face. It looks at UV spots, browns, reds, pore size, etc. And then we measure treatments. For example, skin creams and other therapies,” Bryan Johnson recently told a neuroscientist.

Bryan also stressed that most of the anti-aging skin creams don’t work. He also revealed that he has done two therapies - Tixel and Sofwave. “The biggest gains I've had from my skin have been from two therapies. One is Tixel. The second is Sofwave. It's an ultrasound-based therapy that heats up the skin and produces collagen and increases elastin. So other than that, I found that most things have marginal improvement, but that's what I've been doing for the past couple years,” he revealed.

While wrinkles are a hallmark of aging skin, several other factors can accelerate the aging process. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun are a primary driver of premature skin aging, often called photoaging. UV radiation breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to sagging, fine lines, and age spots. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 can reduce the pace.

Diet, exercise, and sleep significantly impact skin health. Smoking and alcohol too, can accelerate aging. Stress and genetics also have a significant impact.
