As women reach the age of 50 the ageing process accelerates dramatically and the onset of sagging skin and deep wrinkles can be the consequence.
There is good news for those of us who started to take care of our skin early and who took steps in our early 30?s and 40’s to intervene. As stated by Cannes based Hervé Raspaldo in a recent article in the Daily Mail “Starting a maintenance programme in your early 30s is the biggest investment you can make for your skin.” “You will look younger in your 50’s and 60’s and may never need surgery”
Fabafterfifty Anti-ageing expert, Dr Mountford of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic says “Our patients that took care of their skin from an earlier age are already benefitting from the results. It has been clinically proven that regular use of HA based fillers such as Restylane stimulate the body’s own ability to produce natural collagen which means less lines and wrinkles in the long term.
For postmenopausal women it’s still not too late as there is a lot that can be done to combat the appearance of ageing skin. One anti-ageing avenue to explore is skin revitalising and hydrating treatments such as Juvederm hydrate or Restylane vital which attracts water to the skins lower layers. This improves the structure, firmness and elasticity of the skin, giving it a new energy. Thinner fragile skin becomes thicker and firmer giving the skin back its plumpness and dewy glow. This will improve the general skin quality of the face but also improve other areas of the body exposed to the ageing elements such as the neck, decolletage and backs of hands.
Pelleve wrinkle reduction system
The Pellevé wrinkle reduction system is another excellent anti-ageing option. Pelleve is a safe, highly effective radio frequency skin tightening treatment that is FDA approved to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Discomfort is minimal, no anaesthesia is required and there is no downtime. Pellevé is a great solution for facial rejuvenation without surgery. It is ideal for the difficult to treat delicate eye areas and those hard to treat lipstick lines on the top lip. The jowls and neck are also highly responsive to treatment. The result is an improvement in skin quality and firmness you can see and feel.
