Ageing is inevitable. The ageing process starts when you are in your mid-20s, though it is hardly evident then. Your genes, daily habits and sun exposure are some of the factors responsible for several changes in appearance overtime.
What is anti-ageing?
Anti-ageing refers exclusively to slowing, preventing, or reversing the ageing process by the early detection, prevention and treatment of age-related diseases.
Symptoms :
Wrinkles
Dark spots
Fine lines
Sagging
Treatment options
Retinoids, vitamin C, and alpha hydroxy acids can help deal with ageing early on. For ageing resulting from sun damage, the options are chemical peels, dermabrasion, or laser resurfacing. Deeper facial lines can be treated with botulinum toxin or fillers, including hyaluronic acid injections.
Cosmetic procedures for ageing skin
If you’re considering cosmetic procedures, schedule an appointment with an expert to discuss your objectives, options, risks, benefits and costs.
