The Ageing Process

Facial ageing is due to a combination of changes to the skin and changes to the facial bones supporting the skin.

Collagen loss is a key factor in ageing

As skin ages, the dermis thins due to collagen loss, thus reducing its ability to retain elasticity (from elastin) and moisture (from hyaluronic acid). In addition, facial fat moves and resettles, changing the facial structure. While these changes are occurring in the dermis and subcutaneous layers of your skin as it ages, the epidermis changes color and texture.
