Aesthetic treatment options to fight the 3 signs of ageing

As a natural part of the ageing process, there are a number of different effects that can be visible, with notable changes to the skin. But what are the 3 most common signs of ageing? And what are the effective aesthetic treatment options to fight the 3 signs of ageing?

What are the effective aesthetic treatment options to fight the 3 signs of ageing?

There are a number of different aesthetic treatment options that can be highly effective for fighting the 3 signs of ageing. But what are these 3 signs, and which treatment option can be effective for each sign of ageing? Well, these signs include:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Thinning skin and an uneven skin tone
• Loss of volume

Lines and Wrinkles

One of the earliest and most common signs of ageing is the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These tend to appear first in areas of the skin that move when expressions are formed, such as laughter lines around the eyes, smile lines around the mouth, and frown lines on the forehead. This is because, as part of the ageing process, the skin loses elasticity and collagen, which means that it can no longer bounce back into position. Eventually, these fine lines will deepen to become wrinkles. So how can these be effectively treated? Well, dermal fillers are a highly effective choice.

Dermal fillers are injections of hyaluronic acid, which is an acid that is found throughout the human body. Hyaluronic acid helps to nourish and hydrate proteins and tissues within the skin, replacing lost volume and helping to restructure the skin. When injected into fine lines, dermal fillers add volume, which helps to smooth out the lines for a more even skin appearance.

Thinning skin and an uneven skin tone

Another common sign of ageing is thinning skin. This occurs as important skin proteins, like collagen and elastin, deplete, while the skin also slows down its production of natural oils. This leaves your skin dehydrated and fragile, more prone to UV damage, and with an increased topical sensitivity. As such, thinning skin is closely related to an uneven skin tone.

To treat thinning skin, microneedling can be very effective. This involved using many small needles to create tiny puncture wounds in the skin, promoting the natural healing response from the body, as well as cell rejuvenation. This helps to increase the production of vital proteins, like elastin and collagen to replace lost skin volume for healthier skin. In addition, this treatment also makes it easier for topical treatments to be absorbed, helping to replace lost nutrients and rehydrate the skin.

To treat an uneven skin tone, an illumiFacial treatment can be the perfect choice. This is a treatment that combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with a light chemical peel. This combination of treatment allows any uneven pigmentation caused by UV damage or ageing to be broken down, while also rejuvenating the skin and replacing lost collagen.

Aesthetic treatment options to fight a loss of volume

Facial fat can be lost as a natural part of the ageing process and this can also move down the face, causing sagging skin and an overall loss of volume. At the same time, as mentioned above, collagen depletes as we age. This also contributes to a loss of volume. This loss in plumpness or volume is one of the most notable aspects of facial ageing, having a negative impact on the structure and shape of the face.

Dermal fillers are the most effective treatment option for correcting a loss of volume. The hyaluronic acid allows you to create a fuller facial profile, especially when injected under the eyes, around the mouth, and the cheeks. Fillers of hyaluronic acid also bring moisture and hydration to the skin, which can help to rejuvenate the skin from within.
