Ageing

Ageing skin is characterized by the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles along with textural irregularities and sagging. Even though ageing is a normal process; most Australians suffer from premature skin-ageing due to excessive sun damage.

What causes the skin to age prematurely?

There are several contributory factors which include:

• Prolonged UV Exposure (sun damage).
• Suboptimal diet and lifestyle.
• Chronic illness.
• Sudden weight loss.
• Chronic stress & sleep irregularities.
• Environmental pollutants.

How to treat ageing skin?

• Identifying and eliminating (or reducing) any triggering environmental factors (mentioned above) is the first step.
• Healthy diet, adequate sleep, and regular exercise slows down the premature skin-ageing process significantly.
• In-clinic treatments include cosmetic injectables, various laser and light therapies professional peels, facials, skin needling etc.

 Skincare products to slow down and reverse skin ageing:

• Sun Protection (SPF- Sun Blocks, Sun Screens).
• Exfoliating Cleansers.
• Topical anti-ageing skin serums such as Vitamin A, B and C Serums.
• Topical skin products with specific anti-ageing ingredients.

Important: It is important to understand that skincare products for any skin concern have to be used regularly (as recommended by product usage guidelines) for optimum results. We recommend using the products for a minimum of 6 months and avoiding any triggering factors to see clinically visible results.
