Concern
Aged Skin
As we age, skin naturally loses collagen, elastin and hydration, leading to fine lines, a loss of firmness and a less even tone. Lifestyle and sun exposure can accelerate these changes.
A combination approach works best for ageing skin, improving quality and firmness while softening lines for a refreshed, natural look.
Causes
What Causes Aged Skin?
Collagen and elastin production slows with age, and the skin holds less moisture. Sun exposure, smoking and repeated facial movement all contribute to visible signs of ageing over time.
What You May Notice
Signs & Symptoms
Fine lines & wrinkles
Lines that appear with movement and, later, at rest, particularly around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
Loss of firmness
Skin feels less elastic and begins to sag, especially around the jawline and cheeks.
Dullness & dehydration
Skin can look tired and lacklustre as cell turnover and hydration decline.
Volume loss
Cheeks and temples can appear flatter or more hollow as underlying support is lost.
