Ageing & wrinkles

Skin ageing is shaped by two processes. Intrinsic ageing happens naturally over time as collagen, elastin and oil production change. Extrinsic ageing is layered on top through ultraviolet exposure, smoking and environmental stress. The result is rarely one isolated wrinkle: people often notice a combination of fine lines, dryness, uneven pigment, visible vessels, larger-looking pores and reduced firmness. A useful treatment plan identifies which of those changes matters most to you.

Protect what you already have

Daily sun protection is the foundation of an ageing-skin plan because cumulative UV exposure contributes to lines, mottled colour and loss of elasticity. A gentle cleanser, suitable moisturiser and well-tolerated active ingredients can support the barrier and make professional treatment easier to pace. More products are not necessarily better; consistency and compatibility matter.

We also separate movement-related lines from changes in tone and texture. About Skin’s treatments focus on skin quality, collagen support and an even-looking complexion rather than changing facial expression. Results develop gradually, and the aim is for your skin to look rested and healthy rather than over-treated.

Matching technology to the concern

Laser Genesis may be considered as a gentle laser facial for selected redness, texture and fine-line concerns. Dermapen microneedling creates controlled microchannels to support a natural repair response and may suit some textural changes or fine lines. Where more intensive collagen remodelling is appropriate, your clinician may discuss DermaMatrix Renewal or eLOS Sublative Resurfacing. Clinical peels may also play a role when surface dullness and photoageing are part of the picture.

A single appointment can refresh the skin, but collagen-focused treatments are generally planned as a course with time between sessions. The best option depends on skin tone, medical history, previous procedures, desired downtime and budget. If uneven brown patches are a priority, our guide to sun damage and pigmentation explains why melasma and sunspots are approached differently.

What to expect from a considered plan

Before treatment we discuss sensation, likely redness or swelling, aftercare and how soon normal activities can resume. Some treatments have minimal interruption; others involve several days of visible recovery. Improvement from collagen remodelling continues beyond the appointment, so reviews are timed to assess the response rather than rush the next step.

You can review our current treatment prices and frequently asked questions before deciding. When you are ready, book a rejuvenation consultation and bring a list of products, medicines and previous treatments so we can plan safely.
