What is Skin Ageing?

Skin ageing can be classified into two different groups: Intrinsic (dependant on genes) and Extrinsic ageing which is caused from exposure to external factors such as smoking, pollution, wind, heat and of course the most harmful effects on the skin are caused by Ultraviolet Rays from exposure to the sun. Up to 80% of all ageing may be due to exposure to the sun.

What is photo ageing?

Photo ageing is the process by which skin is changed or damaged as a result of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Collagen and elastin production are stunted with sun exposure, causing the skin to lose its ability to repair itself and the long term effects of this process on the skin include fine lines and wrinkles, uneven colour and skin texture changes and thinning of the skin. The levels of growth factors which are naturally present in our skin decline with age thus slowing down the repair process.

Can ageing be reversed?

Any treatment that can stimulate repair in the dermis of the skin will assist in age correction. There are a variety of treatments that stimulate the skin to produce human growth factors, which are responsible for normal cell division and cell differentiation and stimulate a whole cascade of skin regeneration, collagen and elastin production and a restructuring of the skin.

These include dermal needling, IPL or laser skin rejuvenation, LAMPROBE collagen induction therapy for wrinkles, chemical peels and non surgical micro current facials.

What are growth Factors?

Human growth factors are naturally occurring molecules that are produced by the skin. They become depleted with age. Normal cell division and regeneration are dependent on growth factor stimulation. IPL, lasers, peels, LAMPROBE collagen induction therapy and skin needling are effective treatments able to stimulate the body’s production of growth factors.

Unique formulations in skincare products can deliver these growth factors directly into the skin as well, so we use this complex technology in conjunction with our many effective modalities to achieve optimum results. Growth Factors are micro needled into the skin for optimal results.
