How would we describe Ageing Skin

Skin which is “Ageing” will suffer with a loss of elasticity causing fine lines and wrinkles. A main cause of premature ageing is the effects of the sun and subsequent damage that ensues.

Remember a Sun Tanned Skin is a Damaged and Aged Skin!

Ageing skin is also likely to have pigmented marks (Age Spots) and can appear dull in colour. Skin under the eyes can become darkened an increase in eye folds and possible swelling under the eyes.


The skin’s pH level is important and we often relate/classify skin types by the Ph Level it has i.e. where it is in the Alkaline to Acid range and maintaining a slightly acidic pH of around 5.5 is critical. Reading our very interesting article on achieving a "Well Balanced Skin" will be extremely useful to you.

Typical questions we get asked about Ageing Skin and some of our recommendations

On of the most common skin problems of all is that of ageing skin. Clients are waking up to the fact that if their skin is looked after properly and they become more aware of what causes premature ageing, they can do simple things to keep it looking younger longer.

We get asked:

  • “How do I improve and then maintain my skin”
  • “How do I slow down the ageing process” which we all know cannot be stopped altogether but we can help reduce the unattractive results of having aged skin.
  • “What creams do and do not work?”

One thing to make sure you do all year round in summer and winter is use a sun protection on your skin. These are often built into moisturisers and other products which make it so easy to do, no excuse!

We would recommend the use of a daily SPF 30 to protect against the damaging and ageing effects of UVA and UVB rays. The use of Anti-Ageing ingredients includes AHA’s, Antioxidant Vitamins and Protein and Collagen simulators. Very important to assess lifestyle balance too e.g. diet and exercise.

We also provide effective treatments for Pigmentation and Skin Rejuvenation at the clinic.

Treatments Recommended for Ageing Skin

a) Combined Facial Therapy (CFT)

By combining Glycolic Peels or Microdermabrasion with Intense Pulse Light (IPL) or Laser we can address so many of the complaints seen on an ageing skin. Examples here would be Red Veins, Rosacea, Fine Lines and Wrinkles and Sun Damage like age spots.

b) Free Laser Consultation & Skin Analysis

We offer Free Laser Consultations and Skin Analysis to assess which treatments are most suitable and very importantly discuss your home care routine.

A major culprit for radically changing the Ph level of the skin is the soap you use!!! So, when clients come to our clinic we always ask “What do you use to cleanse your skin?”

Some of the soaps presented to us have an equivalent alkaline level of AJAX, so would you put this on your skin?

For some really interesting information on pH and your skin read our article on a "Well Balanced Skin"

We can advise you on this and ideally if you have a Consultation Facial with us you will find out all you need to know and have your questions answered to improve and maintain a healthy younger looking skin.

We also offer a Free Skin Analysis in our Skin Scanner which takes about 15 minutes where we can explain identify any skin issues and provide some initial guidance. There is no obligation afterwards as we have a genuine passion for skin care and want potential clients to understand their skin better.
