As we age so does our skin. Some of the signs of skin ageing include the loss of luminosity (glow), lines & wrinkles, dryness and loss of volume and elasticity. From our mid 20s, the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid start to decline. So why are they important ? They are all key to skin ageing.

Collagen provides the skin with its bounce, firmness & youthful plumpness. It also gives structure and shape to the skin, whereas elastin allows the skin to be flexible and bounce back to its original shape. Both collagen and elastin production decline as we age. This can lead to progressive lose of facial volume causing sagging or droop to the skin, also known as skin laxity. This is usually very noticeable in the mid portion of the face and the jawline. Fine lines and wrinkles are the result of skin laxity and years of repetitive movement and expression that leave their mark over time.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural subtance in the skin which has an important role in skin moisture and hydration. It has a unique ability to retain water, keeping the skin soft supple and hydrated.

There are a variety of cosmetic treatment offered at The Blackwell Clinic which can help turn back the clock.
