At Dermathetics, we understand that skin ageing is a common concern. Our expert team in Farringdon offers bespoke solutions to combat the visible signs of ageing, helping you restore confidence and glow. Below, we answer your key questions about skin ageing, its causes, and the best treatments available.
Skin ageing manifests in various ways as part of the natural ageing process. Common signs include:
● Lines and Wrinkles: Fine lines and deeper wrinkles develop over time.
● Sagging Skin: Loss of elastin causes laxity, leading to heavy brows, hooded eyelids, sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls.
● Dullness and Transparency: Thinning of the epidermis reduces luminosity, giving skin a lacklustre look.
● Pigmentation and Sun Spots: Sun damage results in uneven tone and dark spots.
● Fragility: Skin becomes thinner, bruising easily, with visible veins or broken capillaries.
● Volume Loss: Fat depletion in the cheeks, temples, chin, and under-eye areas creates a hollowed, tired appearance.
● Bone and Cartilage Changes: Bone loss alters the jawline and chin, while cartilage loss causes nasal tip drooping.
Our Dermathetics medical practitioners can assess these signs during a consultation to recommend the best course of action.
Skin ageing is inevitable, influenced by:
● Natural Ageing: Like all organs, skin ages over time.
● Genetics: Your DNA plays a role in how your skin ages.
● Environmental Factors: Weather, climate, and pollution accelerate ageing.
● Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, stress, and excessive UV exposure contribute to premature ageing.
Understanding these factors helps our team at Dermathetics tailor treatments to your unique needs.
While you can’t stop ageing entirely, you can slow it down:
● Limit UV Exposure: Use high-quality SPF daily to shield against harmful rays.
● Avoid Smoking: Prevent free radical damage that depletes collagen and elastin.
● Protect Against Pollution: Apply antioxidant-rich products to combat environmental stress.
● Boost Skin Health: Treatments and products from our exclusive range, like Obagi SPF and Retinol 1%, enhance collagen production and cell turnover.
Consult our Dermathetics medical practitioners for personalised advice and product recommendations.
UV rays are the primary culprits of premature ageing:
● UVA Rays: Trigger wrinkles, sagging, and sun spots by breaking down collagen.
● UVB Rays: Cause sunburn and increase skin cancer risk.
● Melanin’s Role: This natural pigment offers limited protection, but excessive UV exposure overwhelms it, leading to dullness, pigmentation, and leathery texture.
Daily use of Dermathetics-recommended Obagi SPF is essential for UV protection and anti-ageing benefits.
Yes, smoking accelerates ageing by:
● Generating Free Radicals: These unstable molecules damage cells, depleting collagen and elastin.
● Reducing Skin Elasticity: This leads to premature wrinkles and sagging.
Our practitioners can advise on lifestyle adjustments and treatments to reverse smoking-related damage.
