Signs of Ageing Skin
Understanding Ageing Skin Ageing skin is an inevitable biological journey influenced by intrinsic factors like genetics and extrinsic factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle, and environmental pollutants. As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin decreases, cell turnover slows down, and the skin's ability to retain moisture diminishes.

Some results, like hydration from facials or immediate volume from fillers, can be seen quickly. However, treatments stimulating collagen production (like PRP, Exosomes, RF Microneedling) show gradual improvement over several weeks to months, with optimal results often visible after 3-6 months.
Downtime varies depending on the treatment. Minimally invasive treatments like PRP or Exosome facials may have mild redness or swelling for a day or two. More intensive treatments like RF Microneedling might require a few days of recovery. We will discuss expected downtime during your consultation.
This depends heavily on the chosen treatment and individual skin condition. Many regenerative therapies require an initial series of 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months.
Results vary. Treatments like anti-wrinkle injections last 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last 6-18 months. Collagen-stimulating treatments offer longer-lasting improvements, but maintenance sessions are usually recommended to counteract the ongoing ageing process.
Absolutely. Combining treatments often yields the best results as different therapies target different aspects of ageing (e.g., PRP for texture, fillers for volume, anti-wrinkle injections for dynamic lines). We specialise in creating synergistic treatment plans.
