Ageing is a natural and beautiful part of life, but it often brings changes to our skin that may be of concern. Understanding the signs of ageing, their causes, and the available treatments can empower you to embrace the ageing process with confidence and maintain youthful, radiant skin.

​

Overview of Signs of Ageing

Ageing affects the skin in various ways, including:

• Uneven Pigmentation: Uneven skin tone can result from sun damage, hormonal changes, and the accumulation of melanin, leading to dark spots or hyperpigmentation.

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The development of fine lines and wrinkles is a common sign of ageing, often caused by a reduction in collagen and elastin production, as well as repeated facial expressions.

• Texture Changes: Skin texture can become rougher, and enlarged pores may appear due to a slowdown in skin cell turnover.

​

Causes of Ageing

The ageing process is influenced by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors:

• Intrinsic Ageing: This is the natural ageing process controlled by genetic factors and involves the gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin throughout the years, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity.

• Extrinsic Ageing: External factors, such as sun exposure, smoking, pollution, and an unhealthy lifestyle, can accelerate the ageing process, leading to premature signs of ageing.

Effective Treatments for Ageing Signs

At Dermatology Junction, we offer a range of advanced treatments to address signs of ageing and help you achieve smoother, more youthful skin:

• Topical Treatments: Prescription creams and skincare products containing retinoids, antioxidants, and skin-lightening agents can improve uneven pigmentation and texture.

• Botulinum Toxin Injections: Target dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles.

• Chemical Peels: Exfoliate the skin's surface to improve texture and reduce pigmentation.

• IPL Therapy: Utilise light-based treatments to stimulate collagen production, even out pigmentation, and smooth skin texture.

• Microneedling: Promote collagen production and improve skin texture through controlled micro-injuries.
