Aging Skin
Getting older is a part of life. But you don’t need to look it – especially not before your time. That’s why understanding what causes skin aging and what creates the signs of premature aging can really help you get rid of those lines and defy the effects of time.
Face lift is for someone with skin that has “relaxed” to the point of looking, and often feeling less firm. A lowered brow line or sagging skin on the eyelids, for instance, is often the first sign of “maturing” skin. There are many people who want some lifting but are not ready for surgery, either mentally, financially or logistically.

When we say aging is a normal part of life, we mean that the factors that drive aging naturally happen with time. It’s important to know that up to 80% of all types of aging are accelerated by sun exposure and related free radical damage.
Photo-aging (sun exposure)
Related DNA damage
Dormant (stagnant) skin cells
Chronic inflammation
Overproduction of enzymes that damage collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid
Poor texture, fine lines, and wrinkles. Not to mention sagging skin and a thick and uneven complexion. We all know the signs of skin aging. And, in a nutshell, your cells simply slow down in performing the tasks they usually did when you were younger.
With photoaging specifically, the skin is changed or damaged by sunlight, rapidly breaking down dermal components, which causes wrinkles and/or discolouration. Sun exposure increases that rate of aging drastically.
There are two types of skin aging. Intrinsic aging is dependent on your genes. Extrinsic aging is caused by external factors, such as smoking, pollution, wind, heat and the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. We always aim to treat both.
Intrinsic aging
- Inherited aging that is genetically regulated and passed down from parents.
- Results in changes in cell production, rate of turnover and cell activity in the skin.
- In addition, the levels of Growth Factors, which are naturally present in our skin, decline with age thus causing the repair process to slow down even more.
Extrinsic aging
- Photo-aging is the process by which skin is altered or damaged as a result of exposure to ultraviolet radiation and other sources.
- Collagen and elastin production are stunted and enzymes in the dermis are raised by sun exposure, causing the skin to lose its ability to repair itself effectively and the long-term effects of this process on the skin including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven colouring and textural changes as well as the skin becoming thinner and becoming less resistant to wrinkling.
- Healing in more mature skin, is further hampered by the effects of chronic inflammation on the skin.
