Why does the skin lose elasticity with age?

When you are younger your skin works in a very productive way making plenty of Hyaluronic acid (hydration molecule), Elastin (keeps our skin bouncy) and Collagen (keeps our skin plump and youthful), however from the age of 20 your skin makes 1% less collagen and elastin every year. Its natural cell renewal process also slows down, resulting in the skin becoming lined, pigmented and wrinkled. External factors also contribute to premature ageing and lifestyle choices have a huge impact on your skin. Ageing is a fact of life, but looking your age is a choice!

What contributes to skin laxity?

Sun exposure – UVA rays in the sun contribute to premature ageing resulting in lines and wrinkles, UVB rays cause pigmentation and age spots

Smoking – This is one of the most damaging things you can do to your skin, as smoking starves your cells of vital oxygen needed for normal function

Pollution – A build up of pollution on the skin can cause pores to clog and result in skin damage

Drinking alcohol – Alcohol has been found to reduce the skin’s ability to form elastin fibres

Diet – Eating fast food and high sugar diets affect skin health and slow skin renewal processes

Makeup – Wearing thick makeup that doesn’t let your skin breath slows down skin cycles

Not using the right products – Using high street moisturiser and not regularly cleaning or exfoliating the skin will disrupt skins natural function

What should you do to prevent skin laxity

Preventing skin laxity and premature ageing starts with a high-quality cosmeceutical skincare regime that should include a cleanser, exfoliator, toner, sun protection and ingredients such as Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin working in a productive way

Retinol’s (vitamin A) and Growth factors are important to stimulate collagen production and repair the epidermis

Having regular HydraFacial are a fantastic way to keep your skin cycles renewing and give it a monthly deep clean

 

What is recommended to treat skin laxity?

A quick fix would be dermal fillers as these give an instant revolumisation but need to be maintained annually

eTwo Sublative Fractional Resurfacing

eTwo Sublative is the innovative way to resurface the skin using fractionated Radio-frequency. It smooths out wrinkles and crepey skin on the face, eyes and body while the heat element creates a tightening effect. It is safe for all skin types with minimal risk or downtime.

Hydratite

Radiofrequency skin tightening targets water molecules in the skin to create a heat build up in the dermal (living) layer of the skin where collagen is made. By creating heat this stimulates collagen and elastin production to lift and tighten the skin.

Exosomes

The EXO|E Rejuvenation line is the next generation of regenerative skincare. Using meticulously crafted, active organic plant stem cells formulated to cater to every stage of your skincare journey—before, during, and after treatment.
