Skin Ageing

The interplay between our genetic and environmental factors determines how we age. With cumulative UV damage, we gradually lose our collagen and skin elasticity. This causes gravity-induced sagging, skin folds, wrinkles, rough skin, age spots and pigmentation. However, some areas tend to age more than others, and changes in the skin surface are not the sole factor for clinical signs of ageing.

Thinning of the underlying fat pads and loosening of the ligaments in our skin causes the skin to sag, and migrate downwards. These changes are most obvious around the eyes and mouth. Facial muscle contraction over time causes deeper lines and creases. These lines and creases initially appear with facial expressions, but over time, they become static and are constantly visible.
