Skin ageing is a physiological process which, over time, alters the structure, texture, and firmness of the skin. These changes occur gradually and can be divided into three main stages. Understanding what happens in each stage allows for the selection of the most suitable treatments and the maintenance of a youthful and harmonious appearance.
Stage 1: Early ageing (25-35 years)
At this stage, the first signs of ageing are noticeable: skin is less hydrated, complexion is dull, and slight expression lines begin to appear, particularly around the eyes and mouth. A slight loss of volume in the central part of the face and along the jawline is also common.
Recommended treatments
– Hyaluronic acid filler (HA) as a preventative measure to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen.
– Application of pure (non-cross-linked) hyaluronic acid for a glow and anti-age effect.
Phase 2: Moderate Ageing (35-50 years)
The signs become more evident. The nasolabial folds and marionette lines are accentuated due to the descent of fatty deposits. The jawline loses definition and the first signs of sagging in the chin and neck are observed.
Recommended treatments
– Hyaluronic acid-based structural fillers for redefining facial contours.
– Treatments to improve skin elasticity and prevent loss of tone.
Phase 3: Advanced Ageing (50+ years)
At this stage, a more pronounced loss of volume is observed, particularly in the cheekbone area and the lower third of the face. The neck shows visible muscle bands (platysma) and the skin appears looser, with deep wrinkles.
Recommended treatments
– Deep fillers to restore volumes.
Collagen stimulators, traction filaments o energy technologiesRadiofrequency, ultrasound) for a lifting and firming effect.
Why intervene early?
