Anti-Ageing

Overview

Ageing gracefully is always something that all men and women desire. Collagen breakdown and facial ageing is primarily controlled by our genetics. Recent advances in aesthetics have shown that epigenetics (the effects of the environment on genetics) plays a very important role in ageing.

We can ensure that our skin ages well by consuming collagen-boosting foods, using topical products that encourage the stimulation of collagen, and consuming supplements that promote collagen build up. There are several treatment options available for these purposes:

• Monopolar and Bipolar Radio frequency treatment to stimulate collagen, for example, Thermage and Ultherapy
• PRP therapy or vampire facial
• Derma pen
• Treatment with Er:YAG (erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) laser (a laser that emits infrared light and is useful for skin rejuvenation and treating ace scarring and skin pigmentation)
• Threading
• Application of dermal fillers
• Botox injections
