Before and After of Ageing:

 

Diagnosis:

Premature ageing, as characterised by symptoms such as pigmentation, sun spots, fine lines, wrinkles and sagging, is effectively a loss of structural integrity within the skin. As we age, the skin’s matrix becomes thin and the skin loses its volume and bounce.

There are lots of factors that contribute to premature ageing. These include UV exposure, smoking, lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise and excessive alcohol consumption, pollution, stress and genetics. These factors speed up the ageing process by disrupting the normal architecture and activity of the skin. The skin's fibroblast activity reduces, cell turnover slows down, collagen and elastin production diminishes, the skin lacks blood flow, becomes inflamed, is unable to maintain hydration, has sluggish lymphatic drainage and overstimulation of melanocytes.

Solution:

As premature ageing and sun-damage is a result of structural destruction and deterioration in the normal functioning of skin, we approach this condition by revising old and damaged tissue, rebuilding the skin and facilitating optimal function.

We revise the decline in processes that occur when the skin starts to age and by strengthening the skin’s underlying matrix, we encourage the skin to function like a young and healthy skin again.

We achieve this through a prescribed home skincare system and professional treatments such as Ultra-Fusion which stimulates fibroblast activity boosting plumpness and volume. IPL clears hyperpigmentation, red veins and sun spots. Peels refine texture and increase cell turnover while leaving the skin bright and hydrated. Oxygenating enzymes increase lymphatic drainage and blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Ask Kristy for a program tailored to your individual skin needs.

You can also assist your skin's health my drinking lots of water, getting regular exercise, consuming a well rounded healthy diet, getting sufficient sleep and managing stress levels.
