Skinformation: Skin Ageing

An incredible and inevitable process that happens to all. We can, however, age gracefully.

Ageing is an inevitable and natural process that is caused by various factors such as intrinsic ageing (chronological) that are programmed by our genes, and extrinsic (environmental) photo ageing. Ageing is a condition that almost all of us are focused on preventing, slowing down, or addressing signs of premature ageing, but aren’t always sure how to do this and some people going straight to highly advanced treatments such as laser before first repairing and stabilising the skin.

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to the visible signs of ageing that can be identified as loss of firmness and laxity, loss of facial volume, sun damage, inflammation (redness), uneven skin texture and tone, and more. They also attribute to collagen degradation (breakdown of collagen and elastin) and the destruction of our telomeres (DNA–protein structures found at both ends of each chromosome) which shorten with age.

Although ageing is inevitable, we can actually reverse some signs of ageing and extend health of our stem cells and cellular structure with the right nutrition and active ingredients for the skin! Fascinating, right?

Science is a wonderful and continually evolving thing. We’re skin nerds and always educating ourselves on the latest cutting-edge technology and science. This is always at the forefront of what we do and why our treatments for addressing signs of ageing are elite in the industry; we understand skin at a cellular level.
At MiSkin, we can guide you through the process of treatment for addressing your specific concerns of ageing; whether that be you’re in your 20’s and are wanting to get ahead and look after your skin early; you’re wanting to address fine lines and wrinkles; or photo-damage, and more.

It’s never too late to look after your skin or address signs of ageing. Enquire now or come see us in clinic!

Addressing Skin Ageing

Here are some quick pointers about how to treat acne and where to start. Ultimately, book a consultation with one of our team and learn about your skin.

  • Your skin journey begins with an in-depth skin consultation and skin analysis. We need to determine factors, triggers, medical history, current skincare, and a background history to determine a treatment plan to assist you to skin health.

    At MiSkin, we are serious about skin, your wellbeing and results. We do this through education and care.

  • Well, this is individual to each person’s skin and needs/type of ageing to address.

    There are many skin concerns that can be attributed to the process of ageing or cellular damage. At MiSkin it is our focus to educate you on how to prevent ageing, look after your skin well, and improve cell functionality.

    Often, with signs of ageing we can experience a lack of hydration or dryness in the skin, as well as the skin appearing dull or lack-lustre. There are many treatments we can have to improve the overall texture, tone, and radiance of the skin.

    First we will begin with a customised clinical facial, medical grade skincare, and look at peels, micro-needling and radio frequency once skin has tolerated active skincare. A DNA test is also recommended to understand your key genetic factors for ageing.

  • A tailored medical grade skincare routine is essential. We want effective ingredients that are going to address cell processes at the core, not on the surface. Medical grade skincare achieves this.

    Vitamins A, B, and C are essential staple ingredients for your every day routine. Peptides and proteins are also incredibly effective.

    Be mindful of many companies claiming to be cosmeceutical due to having one or two ingredients at a high concentrate. However, it’s critical you are using high-quality medical grade skincare that has clinical data and research behind it, otherwise it’s unfounded.
