Ageing, lines & wrinkles
This is one of the biggest questions we get asked: What can I do about Anti Ageing?
Plenty! but there is no miracle bottle or wonder treatment that will turn your skin back to its 20 year old self!
Ageing is a part of life and an absolute privilege. We can't stop the ageing process but we can equipt your skin with the best possible tools to make sure your skin is healthy, glowing and built with strong Collagen and Elastin Fibres to give gravity a pretty good fight!
Why does our skin age?
As we get older our skin gets thinner, dryer and less elastic. This happens because we produce less collagen over time.
This decline in collagen production also causes skin to droop, sag and become unable to bounce back with weight loss.
Approximately only 20% of skin ageing is genetically predetermined.
The reason skin gets dryer and thinner over time is because the epidermis loses its ability to hold or attract water. On top of this, age c decreases our sebaceous gland activity (oil producing). Oils and water are the elements of that plump skin. Although the extent of these changes varies from person to person, skin aging usually first becomes apparent in your 30s.
Did you know that … Up to 80% of premature skin ageing is caused by our lifestyle choices.
Which is fantastic because that gives you the control over your aging process!
Examples include: Stress, excessive exfoliation, diet, aggressive products or treatments and inappropriate skin care are major contributors.
This is why we are on such a mission to educate our clients about the importance of true skinCARE and how the effects of "quick fix treatments" like peeling, burning and scraping really effect your skin long-term. Why after the initial cosmetic quick fix they will accelerate the appearance of ageing and have you back looking at other options.
Age 20 to 30
During your 20’s your skin cells are still regenerating at a fast rate so your skin is looking plump and fresh and you may feel can get away without using skincare . Any teenage acne problems may start subsiding. This is a great time to start nourishing your skin to prevent the skin from aging later and having younger looking skin for years to come.
Age 30 to 40
In your 30’s your skin will start to change. A late night /early morning will show on your face. You may be seeing a few fine lines around the eyes (especially if you have had some sun exposure in you teens and 20′s). You may also have more redness or uneven colour and notice a few larger pigmentation spots.
Around 40 +
From 40 onwards you may start to think you have aged overnight and are starting to see a big difference in photos of yourself from ten years ago. Your collagen is a lot less abundant thus causing the skin to lose its structural strength. The level of Glycosaminoglycan (GAG’s) decreases, the key role of this polymer is to hold onto moisture in the skin, and so the skin will look less plump and less full. Hormonal changes can also make the skin much thinner and wrinkles formed in previous years will deepen.
The skincare market offers customers a wide choice of products which often make ‘BIG’ promises of reversing these affects; however, traditional formulations usually contain skin damaging ingredients, which after their initial cosmetic effect has disappeared do the opposite and speed up signs of ageing by:
We aren't here to make you look like your 20 when your in your 50s,
We believe that you should still look like yourself, just a little fresher!
Prevention is always better than correction so the sooner you start the better results you will see for the long term.
However, if you’re a late starter there is some good news because we’re now in an age where we have some great technology that allows us to understand what the skin needs at a much deeper level and by restoring the natural cellular balance to your skin we can slow down and even in some cases reverse ageing safely and effectively.
The effectiveness of any anti-ageing treatment comes down to the timing and consistency.
Our skin therapists can develop a treatment program that’s designed exactly for you.
