How would we describe Ageing Skin

Wendy our Senior Laser and Skin Care Specialist comments that skin which is “Ageing” will suffer with a loss of elasticity causing fine lines and wrinkles. A main cause of premature ageing is the effects of the sun and subsequent damage that ensues.

Remember a Sun Tanned Skin is a Damaged and Aged Skin!

Ageing skin is also likely to have pigmented marks (Age Spots) and can appear dull in colour. Skin under the eyes can become darkened an increase in eye folds and possible swelling under the eyes.

The skin’s is so important and we often relate/classify skin types by the Ph i.e. where it is in the Alkaline to Acid range and maintaining a slightly acidic pH of around 5.5 is critical. Reading our very interesting article on achieving a "Well Balanced Skin" will be extremely useful to you.

Clients frequently ask:

"How do I improve and then maintain my skin"
"How do I slow down the ageing process"
"What creams do and do not work?" 

One thing to make sure you do all year round in summer and winter is use a sun protection on your skin. These are often built into moisturisers and other products which make it so easy to do, no excuse!

We would recommend the use of a daily SPF 30 to protect against the damaging and ageing effects of UVA and UVB rays. The use of Anti-Ageing ingredients includes AHA’s, Antioxidant Vitamins and Protein and Collagen simulators. Very important to assess lifestyle balance too e.g. diet and exercise.

We also provide effective treatments for Pigmentation and Skin Rejuvenation at the clinic.
