How does ageing affect the face? And what you can do about it

While a gracefully ageing face is a beautiful thing, there are changes that occur with age that we might like to slow down. After the age of 20, we produce around 1 percent less collagen in the skin each year

How it shows?

• A decrease in skins elasticity and firmness
• An increase
• Loss of plumpness, volume and vitality
• Dehydrated/dry/dull looking skin

As we age we all loose facial volume which changes the dimensions and contours of our face.

How it shows?

• Hollowing of the temples and under eyes
• Deepening of the nasolabial folds/marionette lines
• Hallowing of the cheeks
• Thinning of the lips with less definition
• Loose skin around the jawline (jowls).

So… What can we do about it?

The goal of facial rejuvenation is to restore a natural but more youthful appearance to the face. (this may involve multiple procedures to the different facial regions)

1) Treatment options to increase collagen.

Hyaluronic acid based skin boosters such as Jalupro injections are designed to naturally stimulate the production of collagen & elastin. This will significantly improve skin quality, hydration and moisture retention.

2) Treatments to increase volume.

HA dermal fillers are an injectable treatment designed to replenish lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, lines and creases.

3) Treatments to tackle wrinkles

Anti-wrinkle treatments work to suppress the repeated dynamic facial muscle movements that cause wrinkling, allowing the skin to drape more smoothly.

4) Treatments to reduce fine lines and pigmentation

The Obagi medical grade blue peel resurface the superficial dermal layers of your skin. This treatment tightens and smooths skin, providing brighter-looking skin after just one use.

5) Treatments to prevent further damage

Obagi sunscreens provide UVA, UVB and some provide additional infrared radiation protection, to reduce the signs of skin ageing and keep your skin looking healthy.

6) At home medical grade skincare treatments.
