CONDITIONS

As we mature, the eyes are often the first area on our face to show signs of ageing. Excess skin on upper eyelids can make them appear heavy and hooded.

The skin on our chest is very thin and extremely sensitive. It is often exposed to the sun leading to early appearance of lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and coarse skin texture.

Our hands are constantly exposed to a plenitude of harmful environmental factors: UV Rays, pollution, harmful chemicals can cause hands to age as much as our face.

Skin texture and condition change as we age. Slower cell turnover and reduced collagen content can make the skin appear dull, tired, and sagging.

The tissues in our earlobes lose volume and overlying skin loses its elasticity as we age, leaving the earlobes looking empty and lined.

Hyperpigmentation can be caused by trauma to the skin, the ageing process, sun, pollution or hormones and medication.

Masseter muscles on the sides of our jaws may become enlarged due to several factors. Teeth grinding and clenching, jaw misalignment and genetics can all be factors in the process.

Jowling is a natural part of the ageing process. Age-related loss of bone around the cheeks, diminution and downward migration of facial fat pads along with the reduced ability of skin to produce collagen and elastin, lead to loss of lower jaw definition and jowls.

Wrinkles are formed with repetitive movements of facial muscles, for example frowning, smiling, or squinting.

As we age, our body produces less collagen and naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. As a result, lips lose their volume, become thinner and less defined.

Rosacea is a chronic, genetic skin condition that is more common in women and fair skins. The skin flushes and becomes red easily, in more severe cases there may be pimples and visible broken blood vessels.

The most common cause of scarring in the face is acne. Scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can linger in the skin long after the condition itself has been treated.

Lack of loss of volume in the under eye area can create a trough appearance. The ageing process can also lead to formation of under eye bags and dark circles.
