Aging starts when we are born it’s a part of life we cannot stop. The truth is that we start to lose strength in our skin in our late 20’s. Collagen is the substance which gives us strength and elastin elasticity. As we mature these 2 proteins reduce as well as Hyaluronic Acid which gives us the hydrated plumpness in our skin. this all lends to fine lines then deep wrinkles Not only that there are bone changes and fat reabsorption which can cause facial hollowing, volume loss and sagging skin.
Natural aging also brings about pigmentation issues as our bodies age pigmentation from earlier damage cannot be controlled causing age spots.
The main areas of my patients’ concern are:
We can look a lot older than we feel. Light natural fillers and skin boosters can naturally replenish your skin without looking ‘over filled”
Other professional in Clinic treatments can be carried out to stimulate collagen production to kick start that new skin cells underneath the dull top layer. Such as :
Dynamic lines that may be caused by repeated facial expressions can become ingrained in the face as can laughter lines around the eyes frown line (in between the brows). These dynamic lines may be treated with prescription botulinum toxin which freezes the muscle which in turn smoothes out the skin. This results in a younger fresher look.
Dermal fillers may be used to fill out lost volume, e.g in hollowing cheeks, sagging or even out lines around the lips and eyes. There are different types of filler for different areas of the face
Products such as Profhilo which stimulate bio remodelling may be used to condition the skin.I call it my injectable moisturiser. This product is very effective on the neck face and backs of hands.
