As we age, we produce less collagen and lose elastin and volume in our skin. Our skin therefore naturally develops wrinkles, fine lines and sagging. While these changes are a normal part of the ageing process, it can be worrying when you first notice them. Thankfully, anti-ageing treatments, such as anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, polynucleotide treatments and Secret PRO can restore your youthful glow without the need for surgery. We will outline the best anti-ageing treatments if you’re worried about the signs of ageing.

Signs of Ageing Skin

As we transition from childhood to adulthood and beyond, our skin undergoes natural changes. Over time, the soft tissue in our face begins to fall downward as we produce less collagen, while our skin loses hydration, elasticity and its smooth texture. Some of the visible signs of ageing include:

  • Wrinkles
  • Fine lines
  • Sagging skin 
  • Loss of volume
  • Crepey skin

How Do Anti-Ageing Treatments Work?

Ageing is simply another word for living and is a beautiful part of life. However, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel confident in your own skin as you get older. Modern anti-ageing treatments help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of ageing. These treatments aim to restore and slow down these natural changes by:

  • Boosting collagen to improve the appearance and texture of your skin.
  • Increasing hydration levels to replenish lost moisture, leaving your skin plumper.
  • Targeting wrinkles and fine lines, making your skin appear younger.
  • Tightening your skin to combat sagging which happens naturally over time as your skin loses elasticity.

What are the Best Anti-Ageing Treatments for Youthful Skin?

If you’re concerned about the signs of ageing but aren’t ready for surgery, non-surgical anti-ageing treatments provide a solution to maturing skin. Many offer immediate results without the recovery time from surgery, such as anti-wrinkle injections. 

There is a growing interest in non-surgical ways to combat the signs of ageing. Around 84% of adults who undergo these minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, such as fillers, are aged 35 or older. This shows that many people are turning to these treatments as they age.

Along with physical benefits, these treatments will help you regain your self-confidence. They allow you to embrace ageing on your terms.  

Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers

How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Target the Effects of Ageing?

Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relax the muscles in your face responsible for causing wrinkles. The most common areas affected by ageing are the forehead, crow’s feet and frown lines. With skilfully placed anti-wrinkle injections, these lines can seem like they were never even there. By smoothing out deep lines and fading wrinkles, you’re left with a youthful, refreshed look.

Anti-wrinkle treatments also have great preventative benefits. By reducing repetitive facial movements they prevent new wrinkles from forming. You can expect visible results for up to three to four months. After this, the treatment can be repeated to maintain the benefits.

How Do Dermal Fillers Target the Effects of Ageing?

Another effect of ageing is the loss of facial volume. This can appear as deep hollows under the eyes,thinning lips and sagging cheeks. While anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles, dermal fillers restore lost volume. They are made up of hyaluronic acid, which is already found naturally in the skin. This helps to restore moisture and firmness to your skin. 

Dermal fillers are the best anti-ageing treatment to recontour areas such as the cheeks, jawline and lips. They help enhance your natural facial contours and smooth wrinkles without surgery.

Combining Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers

Many people choose to combine anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. The correct balance of both treatments in skilled hands work together to improve the signs of ageing.

Polynucleotide Treatment

How Do Polynucleotides Target the Effects of Ageing?

Polynucleotide injections have revolutionised anti-ageing treatments. Unlike anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, they work at a deeper cellular level, stimulating collagen production to rejuvenate the skin and combat visible signs of ageing.

Polynucleotides help your cells to behave like they used to. They enhance your skin texture, making them ideal for treating acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment is an excellent choice for long-term anti-ageing solutions, as it supports tissue repair and rejuvenates damaged skin cells. You’ll start seeing results after your first treatment and the full effect will be visible in around six weeks. Your skin will feel tighter and firmer, leaving you looking and feeling more youthful.

Secret PRO

How Does Secret PRO Target the Effects of Ageing?

Secret PRO targets the signs of ageing by combining two powerful technologies: fractional COâ‚‚ laser and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. This treatment is unique as it works on all layers of your skin, both the deeper and more superficial layers. The fractional COâ‚‚ laser targets damaged cells on your skin’s surface. It helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage by encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Meanwhile, RF microneedling uses heated small needles to boost collagen and elastin production.  

Secret PRO can be customised to suit your unique skin needs, specifically targeting signs of ageing and keeping your skin looking youthful.
