Ageing skin is a natural part of getting older, but with the right knowledge and care, it’s possible to maintain a fresh and vibrant appearance. Factors like genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices all contribute to changes in the skin over time. Dr Bhavin Garara offers a range of effective treatments tailored to rejuvenate skin, helping you look and feel your best.
Ageing skin refers to the visible signs of skin changes that occur over time. These signs can include fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and a loss of elasticity. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm and smooth — naturally declines. The skin’s ability to retain moisture also decreases, leading to a rougher texture.
External factors like UV radiation, pollution, and lifestyle habits such as smoking can accelerate these changes, causing skin to age prematurely. While ageing is inevitable, there are ways to slow its progression and restore a youthful glow.
Prevention
While you can’t completely prevent ageing skin, certain steps can help minimise its appearance:
Sun Protection: Wearing a high-SPF sunscreen daily protects against harmful UV rays, one of the leading causes of premature ageing.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants can support skin health.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water and using moisturisers can help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier.
Skincare Routine: Using products containing ingredients like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinoids can improve skin texture and promote collagen production.
Static vs. Dynamic Lines: Static lines, caused by the natural ageing process, are preventable through good skincare and lifestyle habits. Dynamic lines, however, form from repeated muscle movements and are less preventable.
Ageing skin is caused by a combination of intrinsic factors (like genetics and natural collagen loss) and extrinsic factors (such as sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle habits).
While ageing can’t be completely reversed, treatments such as RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, and biostimulators can significantly improve skin texture and reduce signs of ageing.
A routine that includes cleansing, moisturising, and using products with active ingredients like vitamin C and retinoids is essential. Don’t forget daily sunscreen.
Most treatments have minimal side effects, such as mild redness or swelling, which typically subside quickly. Dr Bhavin will discuss potential effects during your consultation.
Results vary depending on the treatment. Some treatments may show improvement over several sessions, while treatments like RF microneedling and laser can deliver noticeable results after a few weeks.
