Due to recent changes in guidelines and rules set out by the TGA and AHPRA, we are unable to provide detailed information regarding our medical treatment options without a consultation. If you would like further information regarding Medical Aesthetics please book in for a complimentary consultation.
the appearance of wrinkles with the ageing process
Lines or wrinkles are a normal part of the ageing process, and are formed from the way you move your face along with a decline in collagen and elastin in the skin.
Lines (wrinkles) come under two categories which are ‘dynamic’ or ‘static’. Dynamic lines appear when the skin is pulled in to a furrow with facial movement due to muscle contraction. Static lines appear at rest and are associated more with loss of collagen and elastin due to ageing as well as environmental factors such as UV exposure from the sun.
We can provide you with a consultation to discuss treatment options for reducing or improving the appearance of wrinkles here in Newcastle.
All treatments from a basic skin peel to invasive skin treatments carry risk, may not be suitable depending on your medical history or can have varied results. A consultation is crucial to ensure your treatment options are explained to you and you are able to make an informed decision.
facial volume loss with the ageing process
Facial volume loss is a normal part of the ageing process. As we age the face can appear more hollow in appearance with sagging of the skin and less defined facial structure. This volume loss is due to a number of factors including:
- Bone reabsorption and a reduction in fat pads due to the normal ageing process.
- Environmental causes such as sun damage, leading to a breakdown of collagen and elastin, therefore reducing the ‘natural velcro’ that assists in holding our tissues up.
- Sudden or extreme weight loss.
We can provide you with a consultation to discuss treatment options including collagen induction treatments to help you reach your goals regarding facial volume restoration, facial balancing and facial enhancement. We are centrally located in Newcastle.
skin changes with the ageing process
A number of normal skin changes happen with the ageing process including a reduction in collagen and elastin, as well as increased redness and pigmentation.
Sun damage and other environmental factors such as smoking, can add to these changes. These changes can present with skin that has increased laxity as well as uneven skin tone and poor texture.
We can provide you with a consultation to discuss the treatment options available to promote collagen induction, increase skin hydration, even out skin tone and improve skin elasticity. We can discuss at home care including the daily us of SPF and other active ingredients to add to your home skin care routine.
