Ageing Skin
Understanding what changes — and what can be done.
The natural ageing process inevitably impacts on the skin. The first signs are usually most noticeable there — fine lines that appear gradually, then deepen, accompanied by changes in texture, tone and the underlying structure of the face. Sun exposure, smoking and diet can accelerate these changes significantly.
Ageing skin involves several distinct processes occurring simultaneously. Collagen and elastin loss — the structural proteins that keep skin firm and elastic — decline from the mid-twenties. Volume loss sees fat compartments in the face diminish and descend, flattening the cheeks and softening the jawline. Skin laxity develops as structural support reduces. Dynamic lines deepen as repeated facial movement etches expression lines into the skin. And skin quality changes — pigmentation becomes uneven, radiance diminishes, pores appear larger.
These processes do not all begin or progress at the same rate — genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure and skincare habits all influence how quickly and visibly ageing presents.
Treatments to consider.
The range of treatments available means that any or all of the concerns associated with ageing skin can be addressed. The most important step is choosing the most effective option for your specific concern — and this is precisely where a thorough consultation makes all the difference. We take a whole-face view of ageing rather than treating individual features in isolation.
Botox® Anti-Wrinkle Injections — for dynamic lines caused by facial movement.
Dermal Fillers - for volume restoration, structural support and contouring.
8-Point Facelift — a comprehensive approach to full facial rejuvenation combining volume, structure and lift.
Collagen Stimulating Treatments — for longer-term structural improvement and collagen rebuilding.
Skin Boosters — for hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Ultherapy® — ultrasound lifting for skin laxity and facial definition.
Tixel® — thermal fractional treatment that stimulates deep collagen remodelling. Highly effective for textural scarring once active acne is fully controlled.
Microneedling — collagen induction therapy that remodels scar tissue and improves skin texture progressively over a course of treatments. One of the most effective options for atrophic scarring.
Photofabulous™ — for pigmentation, radiance and texture improvement.
Professional Skincare — an essential foundation. The right skincare regime supports the skin between treatments, manages oil production and congestion, and helps prevent new scarring.
