What you need to know: Ageing in your 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.

Skin treatments:

A course of Dermal Pen treatments is extremely effective at reducing the signs of acne scarring, fine lines and improving overall skin texture.This treatment is stimulating a natural reaction in the skin to produce more of its own collagen and elastin.

Products:

Applying Vitamin A to the skin improves the wrinkles associated with natural aging and may help to promote the production of collagen and elastin. We love ASI Vitamin A corrector, which contains 3% Retinyl Palmitate and 0.1% Pure Retinol.
