Hello. I am a doctor of cosmetic dermatology and Smart Skin Clinic.

Do you have any of these questions or concerns about Golgothic lines?

In this issue, we will discuss "Golgoth lines," which negatively affect the impression of the face, in detail from an expert's perspective, including the causes of Golgoth lines, self-care methods, and treatment methods.

If you want to know immediately how to erase specific Golgo lines, you can jump directly to the self-care and treatment options in the Table of Contents.

What is the Golgoth Line?

Golgothic lines areA straight line that runs diagonally from the inner corner of the eye to the center of the cheek.This is a common name referring to theThe name was derived from the distinctive lines carved on the face of the main character in the comic book "Golgo 13The company is doing so.

The official name is mid-cheek groove, or "hollow in the center of the cheek. This dimple is an indentation in the skin caused by the ligaments connecting the cheekbones to the skin.

Underneath the skin of the cheek is fat, below that is muscle, and further down is bone. When the grooves in the ligaments that connect the skin to the underlying bone become prominent, they become gorgon lines.

Causes and Mechanisms of Golgoglobus Lines

So how do gorgon lines form?

Although one may have the image that they appear due to aging or lifestyle factors, some people are actually born with a type of gorgonae that is prone to forming.

The premise is that there is no single factor (cause), but rather a combination of several factors. Some of these factors are explained below.

Decreased skin elasticity and firmness

As skin loses flexibility due to various factors such as aging, UV rays, and dryness damage, gorgon lines become more visible.

As components of the skin such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin decrease, skin firmness and elasticity decrease.

Ligaments are also elastic tissues composed mainly of collagen. Facial ligaments are responsible for anchoring skin and other tissues to bone, maintaining facial lines, and supporting facial muscles. When ligaments deteriorate, they are unable to support the tissues and become loose.

Fat loss

As facial fat is reduced due to aging or excessive dieting, gorgon lines become more visible.

Fat under the skin forms smooth facial lines. As the fat around the eyes and cheeks, which used to lift the skin, is reduced, the gorgon lines become more prominent and the excess skin sags.

Weakening of the facial muscles

As the facial muscles weaken, indentations form between the muscles and ligaments, making the gorgon lines more visible.

For example, the following muscles are located around the Golgi lines

Zygomaticis minor and zygomaticis major: Muscles that support the cheeks
Orbicularis oculi: muscles around the eyes
Upper lip nasal wing elevators: muscles that move the cheeks and nose

Muscles become thin if they are not used. If the face is not moved, the facial muscles become emaciated. When the muscles move, blood flow is stimulated and the skin cells receive the oxygen and nutrients they need.

It is said that only about 20-30% of facial muscles are used in daily life, but continuous expressionlessness and wearing of masks will lead to further deterioration of facial muscles.

Note that muscles begin to decline with age in the late 20s. This is because the rate at which new muscle is synthesized cannot keep up with the rate at which old muscle is broken down during muscle renewal.

Eye fatigue

When the eyes are overworked by using computers and smartphones, gorgon lines can easily form due to eye fatigue.

The muscle that adjusts the focus of the eye is the ciliary muscle. It relaxes when looking into the distance and contracts when looking up close. Continued tension of the ciliary muscle by looking only at the hand results in stiffening of the nerves and muscles around the eyes and cheeks.

Tired eyes will also disrupt the autonomic nervous system and reduce the overall condition of the skin.

blood circulation failure

Poor blood flow slows skin metabolism and reduces skin tone and elasticity, leading to gorgon lines.

Blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to cells. Factors that interfere with blood circulation are lifestyle habits such as cold, lack of sleep, smoking, and excessive stress. Eye fatigue and dry eyes can lead to poor blood circulation around the eyes near the Golgi line.

water shortage

Dryness leads to all kinds of skin problems, including gorgon lines.

Sebum and sweat form a film on the skin's surface to protect it, but lack of moisture reduces the barrier function. In a dry state, the skin is more susceptible to external damage such as UV rays and dust, leading to deterioration of collagen and elastin.

Lifestyle Disruption

A disordered lifestyle reduces the basic strength of the skin and leads to the formation of gorgon lines.

For example, have you ever felt that your skin is in poor condition due to lack of sleep? During sleep, growth hormone is secreted, which is the time to produce new cells and create beautiful skin.
In addition, an unbalanced diet can lead to a lack of nutrients necessary for skin renewal. Poor posture leads to stagnation of blood and lymphatic flow around the face, neck, and shoulders. Excessive stress can make the sympathetic nervous system dominant, which can impair blood circulation and disrupt the turnover cycle. Nicotine and tar contained in cigarettes have been shown to accelerate skin aging.

Skeletal structure and subcutaneous fat at birth.

Even without aging or eye fatigue.'You're young, but you have golgoth lines.'Some people may say. Those who have gorgon lines from a young age are more likely to have them exacerbated by aging and lifestyle habits.

People with the following characteristics are born with a tendency to develop gorgon lines.

Flat cheekbones
Little fat around the eyes.
Ligaments are stiff.
Skin texture is soft and lacks elasticity
The skin is thin.

How to remove and prevent gorgon lines through self-care

Golgo lines cannot be eliminated immediately with self-care, but there are things that can be done to prevent them from worsening.

Here is how to perform self-care, along with some precautions.

Skin care

The causes of Golgo lines are complex and cannot be solved by cosmetics alone.
However, proper skin care reduces the loss of skin tone and elasticity that causes Golgi lines.

First, let's look back at your own skin care.

Basic Skin Care

removing makeup at the point of use
Removes hard-to-remove point makeup around the eyes and mouth
cleansing
Remove makeup and sunscreen
face-washing
Removes makeup residue, excess keratin, and sebum
face lotion
replenish one's water supply
serum
Add moisturizing and firming serums as needed.
Emulsions and creams
Replenish oil and cover

Every step of the skin care process has a meaning. In particular, if point makeup and sunscreen are not fully removed, if there is not enough emulsion or cream, or if age-appropriate care is not taken, the skin is more susceptible to damage.

Also, as a general rule, skin should be handled gently and carefully, without rubbing or beating.

Thorough moisturizing and UV protection

Among the skin careParticularly important are "moisturizing" and "UV protection.It is.

Typical moisturizing ingredients in cosmetics include hyaluronic acid, collagen, ceramide, and squalane. All of these work to hold water in and cover it to prevent evaporation, thereby maintaining moisture within the skin.

Ultraviolet rays penetrate even windows and reach the skin all year round. Reapply sunscreen frequently and use a parasol and sunglasses to protect against UV rays.

massage

The effect of massage is to relax the muscles and improve the flow of blood and lymph. Necessary nutrients are delivered to skin cells, unwanted wastes are eliminated, and muscles become firmer, which can be expected to reduce the appearance of gorgon lines.

Massage instructions can be found in various books and websites. Choose one supervised by an expert. However, rubbing too hard or touching the skin incorrectly can lead to blemishes, dullness, and wrinkles. Apply oil or cream and try to reduce friction.

Facial Muscle Training

There are many ways to train facial muscles, but simply making large, precise "aiueo" shapes is a good way to move the cheek muscles around the golgi lines. However, moving only the tips of the mouth will not be effective. To stimulate blood flow around the eyes, it is also a good idea to move the eyeballs up, down, left, and right.

Alternatively, there are facial machines that move facial muscles with the power of electricity called EMS. If it is not a medical device, dramatic effects cannot be expected, but it can approach facial muscles that are difficult to move by oneself.

The easiest way to do this is to move your facial expressions in your daily life. Actively talking to people and taking more opportunities to laugh are also recommended.

Jubeluk Volume (Renishna) Injection

JUVELUX Volume (RENISNA) is an injectable drug that combines non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid with polylactic acid (PDLLA).

Compared to JUVELUX, its particles are larger and work deeper into the skin to increase its volume. The production of collagen and elastin is promoted, and deep wrinkles such as Golgoth lines are reduced.
