Skin Ageing
Skin ageing is a natural process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Over time, our skin loses elasticity, volume, and firmness, leading to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. While ageing is inevitable, its visible signs can be managed and minimised with tailored skincare and advanced treatments. Understanding the causes of ageing skin and how to combat them effectively is the key to maintaining a youthful appearance.
Causes & Symptoms
Skin ageing is driven by two main factors:
- Intrinsic Ageing: Intrinsic ageing, or chronological ageing, is a natural process that occurs with time. It is influenced by genetic predisposition and is characterised by the gradual decline in collagen and elastin production, leading to thinner, less resilient skin. Signs include fine lines, dryness, and a dull complexion.
- Extrinsic Ageing: Extrinsic ageing is caused by external factors, such as sun exposure, pollution, smoking, and poor lifestyle habits. UV radiation is the most significant contributor, leading to sun damage, uneven skin tone, and deep wrinkles. Additionally, environmental pollutants can break down collagen and elastin, accelerating skin deterioration.
Common symptoms include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Loss of skin elasticity.
- Uneven skin tone.
- Thinner, fragile skin.
- Dryness and dullness.
Impact
The visible signs of skin ageing can impact self-esteem and confidence. Many individuals feel that their appearance no longer reflects their vitality or how they feel internally. Addressing these concerns through effective treatments can rejuvenate the skin, restore confidence, and promote a more youthful look.

At Aesthetic Visual Result, we offer advanced treatments to combat the visible signs of skin ageing:
-
Microneedling: Microneedling with SkinPen® stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This minimally invasive treatment improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances skin firmness. By encouraging natural skin regeneration, microneedling helps to smooth wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance.
-
Chemical Peels: Chemical peels work by exfoliating the skin’s surface, removing dead cells and stimulating cell turnover. This process improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall radiance. Chemical peels are particularly effective for reducing hyperpigmentation, sun damage and age spots, revealing a more even and refreshed complexion.
-
Morpheus8: Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and resurface the skin. By delivering controlled heat deep into the dermis, Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and enhances skin elasticity. This non-surgical treatment is ideal for improving skin texture and firmness.
-
Anti Wrinkle Injections: Anti-wrinkle injections help to smooth dynamic wrinkles by relaxing targeted facial muscles. This treatment is particularly effective for addressing crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead wrinkles. By temporarily reducing muscle movement, anti-wrinkle injections not only soften existing lines but also prevent the formation of new ones.
-
Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers restore lost volume and enhance facial contours, providing a youthful and revitalised appearance. By replenishing hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, fillers smooth out wrinkles, plump up sunken areas and improve overall skin hydration. This treatment delivers instant, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
