Causes of Ageing
There are two types of factors in facial ageing, internal (or chronological) and external (or environmental):
- Internal factors are those that happen to you over time, primarily caused by genetics and natural ageing processes.
- External factors are things in the world around you that have an impact on ageing.
These two factors result in non-visible and visible effects on your face. Visible effects are those you can see with the naked eye. The speed at which these changes occur varies depending on the scope and extent of environmental factors and genetics.
