Ageing Skin

Ageing skin is characterised by various changes due to intrinsic (natural ageing) and extrinsic factors (like sun exposure).

Common symptoms of ageing skin include:

• Thinning and sagging: loss of collagen and elastin leads to a droopy appearance

• Wrinkles: fine lines, especially around the eyes and mouth, become prominent

• Dryness: reduced oil production results in rough, itchy skin

• Age spots: increased pigmentation can cause dark spots on sun-exposed areas

• Broken capillaries

• Seborrhoeic keratoses: flat or raised spots that can occur not only in sun-exposed areas but also sun-protected areas

• Cherry angiomas: red lumps that can occur on the face and the body

Treatment options for ageing skin include:

Prevention: regular sunscreen use, avoiding smoking, and maintaining a healthy diet.

A comprehensive skincare routine: this can be formulated alongside your dermatologist or dermal therapist according to your skin needs.

Procedures: chemical peels, energy-based devices, and aesthetic treatments for rejuvenation.

Your dermatologist will be able to assess your skin and create a treatment plan according to your concerns as well as keeping your lifestyle in mind.

• A small scratch, rather than a sting is usually felt.

• Local anaesthetic cream may be used to alleviate the sting felt during treatment if requested, but the large majority of people don’t feel this is required.

• Immediately after treatment you will have slight pinkness that rapidly resolves and makeup can be applied immediately after. It is best to refrain from rubbing the area for several hours afterwards or performing vigorous exercise.

• Immediately after the treatment you can go straight back to work and resume normal activities with the exception of that mentioned above.

You will notice the effect of the treatment gradually anywhere from 2 to 7 days after treatment. It will not interfere with your normal activities. Benefit lasts around 4 months. Studies demonstrate that when performed at regular intervals the duration of effect increases and amount needed in the future becomes less.

Minor bruising at the treatment site may occur but can be covered with makeup. There are rare short lived potential site-specific problems (such as eyelid or eyebrow droop) but there are no permanent side effects from this treatment. This is a safe treatment and is reversible. The treatment has been used in the medical industry for over 4 decades. No adverse long-term problems have been reported.
