WHAT TO EXPECT: AGEING THROUGH THE DECADES
What to expect: Ageing through the decades
Ageing is a fact of life. Looking your age is not. Here is an insight into what you can expect to see or feel on your skin throughout the ageing process, and what you can be doing now to slow this process down.
20s
What you may notice:
The most important thing to consider during your 20s is that what you do now can help to prepare for future skin ageing. Prevention when you have healthy collagen and elastin is key.
Solution:
An Anti-Ageing Assessment with a Registered Nurse will be able to identify areas of the face where you may see skin ageing later in life. Anti-Wrinkle Injections will stop fine lines turning into wrinkles.
30s
What you may notice:
Lifestyle habits from younger days can start to appear on the skin during this decade. Less collagen and hyaluronic acid production can lead to early signs of volume loss, mostly in the mid-face and chin areas. The upper eyelids can start to become hooded and wrinkles can start to appear around the eyes.
Solution:
Popular treatments for this decade can be Cheek Enhancement with Dermal Filler to the mid-face to help retain hydration and volume. Anti-Wrinkle Injections are used to relax fine lines and wrinkles, mainly on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes.
40s
What you may notice:
Oil production slows down considerably during your 40s. Therefore, skin becomes drier which leads to the formation of deeper lines and wrinkles. A loss of deep fat pads in the mid-face and temples is usually present. The skin also loses the ability to bounce back as quickly, causing the skin to sag. Vertical lines begin to appear and deepen around the lips and wrinkling becomes more prominent. Upper and lower eyelids can also begin to sag, creating a deep-set look and crow’s feet.
Solution:
Dermal filler treatment can rebuild the fat pads in the mid-face, temples and front of ears to provide a refreshed look. Anti-Wrinkle Injections are also used to soften wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
50s+
What you may notice:
The top of the nose at the bridge often sinks, causing a horizontal wrinkle, in addition to the vertical lines between the brows. Fluid may accumulate in the upper cheek area, causing pouches to form. Sagging can be seen around the cheeks, as well as sagging of the brows. This causes the eyelids to appear hooded and heavy.
Solution:
Dermal Fillers are the go-to for this age group. Patients are often worried about getting over-filled or looking fake. However, when done correctly, Dermal Fillers create a very natural appearance, more like how the patient looked before.
