Understanding Skin Aging
The Science of Aging Skin
Skin aging occurs through two primary pathways:
Intrinsic Aging (Chronological):
- Genetically determined aging process
- Begins in mid-20s with decreased collagen production (1% per year after age 20)
- Reduced cell turnover and regeneration
- Decreased production of natural oils and moisture
- Thinning of skin layers and loss of fat volume
- Slower wound healing and tissue repair
Extrinsic Aging (Environmental):
- Accounts for up to 90% of visible aging signs
- Sun damage (photoaging) is the primary cause
- Free radical damage from pollution and toxins
- Lifestyle factors: smoking, poor diet, stress, lack of sleep
- Repetitive facial expressions creating dynamic wrinkles
- Dehydration and inadequate skincare
Visible Signs Addressed by Anti-Aging Facials
Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
- Expression lines around eyes (crow's feet), forehead, mouth
- Static wrinkles present even when face is relaxed
- Deeper folds and creases requiring intensive treatment
- Crepey skin texture from collagen loss
Loss of Firmness and Elasticity:
- Sagging along jawline (jowls) and neck
- Loss of cheek volume and facial contours
- Drooping eyelids and under-eye bags
- Decreased skin bounce-back and resilience
Texture and Tone Issues:
- Rough, uneven texture from accumulated sun damage
- Large or visible pores from loss of collagen support
- Dullness from slower cell turnover
- Hyperpigmentation and age spots
- Uneven skin tone and red/brown discoloration
Volume Loss:
- Hollowing under eyes and in cheeks
- Thinning lips losing definition
- Sunken temples and flattening of facial features
- Overall loss of youthful facial fullness
