Here Are All the Ways Your Skin Changes Over the Years

Aesthetic Services

Have you noticed wrinkles appearing around your nose and mouth and crepey skin forming at the corners of your eyes? Your skin begins showing wrinkles as early as your 20s, and it continues changing with each year of life.

The skin all over your body changes as you get older, but many people find that their face, neck, and chest are the first to show signs of age. Aging skin can hinder your self-esteem, but you don’t have to settle for a look you’re not happy with.

At SkinReMEDI, our aesthetic specialists understand all the ways your skin changes over the years, and we’re here to help. We offer all the top aesthetic services, from cosmetic injectables to chemical peels to help you love your skin again.

So what exactly is it that causes skin to change?

Elasticity

Collagen and elastin are two protein fibers that are essential for healthy skin. They give your skin structure, firmness, and bounce, but both decrease with age.

Less collagen and elastin means thinner, more delicate skin. Your skin can’t bounce back like it used to, and fine lines and wrinkles begin forming. Loss of elasticity compounds over the years, leaving you with looser, sagging skin.

Since loss of elasticity is such a common cosmetic issue, there are lots of aesthetic treatments available to restore a tighter-looking appearance. At SkinReMEDI, some of our most popular services are cosmetic injectables like Botox®, Dysport®, Juvéderm®, and Restylane®, all of which work to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.

Your face isn’t the only place that loss of elasticity takes its toll. Many people find that loose skin and sagging fat create a double-chin effect that ages their profile. To fight the dreaded double chin, our team offers Kybella®, an injectable treatment to contour your chin and your profile.

Volume

Another common cause of aging skin is loss of volume. Younger people have more fat below the surface of their skin, giving their faces a plump, youthful appearance. But like collagen and elastin, subdermal fat decreases over the years.

As facial fat disappears and drifts downward, your skin takes on an older appearance. You might notice loss of volume in your cheeks, lips, and even the backs of your hands.

Juvéderm and Restylane, both cosmetic injectables, are safe and popular treatments designed to add volume back to your face. These dermal fillers are completely customizable and they have the power to lift cheeks, plump lips, and give you a more youthful appearance.

Texture and tone

Loss of elasticity and volume often make skin appear more wrinkled and delicate as you get older, but you may also notice a change in the texture and tone of your skin with age. Older skin tends to be drier, while damage from sun exposure and more can leave you with discoloration.

Aesthetic treatments to fight dull complexion and uneven texture include microneedling, IPL photofacials, and chemical peels. These treatments refresh the surface of your skin, and they can also improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles by triggering more collagen production within your skin.
