Types
Intrinsic Ageing: The process of normal ageing related to our genetic heritage or makeup without the effects of any environmental factors. This type of ageing happens over time and is regardless of resistance.
Extrinsic Ageing: Due to external factors such as sun exposure, temperature changes, smoking, stress, wind and pollution,to name a few. Far easier and more successful in treating than Intrinsic Ageing.
Ageing can be seen on the skin in the form of: fine lines and wrinkles, rough texture, uneven skin colouring, facial veins and sun spots.
Who?
From early twenties, signs of ageing can start to be noted. Factors such as genetic make up and certain environmental factors will influence and affect the start of the ageing process. From thirties a decline in elastin and collagen can start to appear.
Treatment
To start off we recommend a Skin Analysis. This allows us to see what is going on within the different skin layers. From our findings we are able to draw up the best treatment plan indicated to treat your skin condition.
We always recommend a combination of products and treatments over a period of time to ensure the best possible results.
Products such as Lamelle and Collagen are great when combined with treatments such as Dermapen, IPL and/or Chemical Peels for treating signs of ageing.
