AgEing Skin & Wrinkles
AGEING SKIN & WRINKLES
Ageing skin and wrinkles are natural phenomena resulting from a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors over time. Intrinsic ageing, or chronological ageing, occurs due to genetic influences and the natural aging process. As individuals age, the skin undergoes structural changes, such as a reduction in collagen and elastin production, leading to a loss of skin firmness and elasticity.
Extrinsic factors, including sun exposure, smoking, and environmental pollutants, contribute significantly to premature ageing. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, in particular, accelerates the breakdown of collagen fibres and promotes the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
Wrinkles are the visible lines and creases that develop on the skin’s surface, primarily in areas exposed to sun and repetitive facial expressions. Common areas prone to wrinkles include the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and the mouth.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
While ageing is inevitable, adopting a skincare routine that includes sun protection, moisturisation, and anti-ageing ingredients can help minimise the effects of ageing and maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Treating ageing skin and wrinkles involves a multifaceted approach. Incorporating a skincare routine with retinoids or peptides helps stimulate collagen production and reduce fine lines. Moisturisers hydrate the skin, minimising the appearance of wrinkles. Sun protection through broad-spectrum SPF prevents UV damage, a major contributor to premature ageing. Professional treatments, such as laser therapy, chemical peels, or dermal fillers, can rejuvenate the skin and address specific concerns. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking, further supports skin vitality. Consulting with a dermatologist ensures a tailored strategy to combat ageing signs effectively.
