Ageing skin

Ageing skin

What is ageing skin?
Ageing skin is when the skin starts to lose its natural elasticity and wrinkles and ages spots occur. Wrinkles around the eyes and mouth are usually the first signs of ageing. As we get older the skin begins to produce less collagen this is the chemical that helps to plump the skin helping it to look younger.

What causes ageing skin?
It’s a fact that we are all going to age and we are all going to get wrinkles at some point in our life! The issue with ageing skin is when it prematurely ages. This can be brought on by drinking, smoking, lifestyle choices, pollution and genetics. Some peoples skin ages quicker than others but there is a way in which we can prolong the effect of ageing skin.

Treatments for ageing skin?
Advanced vitamin skin treatment – A treatment that used concentrated doses of vitamins A and C in a serum form. It is placed on the skin and electrical current is used to push the product to the basal layer of the skin when the skin cells grow. It helps to improve the condition of the cells encouraging them to produce more collagen and elastin! 

Cool Peel - Our cool peel facial uses a gentle chemical peel to help smoothen the skin aiding in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. A vitamin serum is then used and electrical current is used to push this product into the skin to help encourage the renewal of skin cells.
