Aging Skin
Skin ages due to many reasons: sun damage, volume loss, decreased elasticity, and textural changes.
What causes aging skin?
Aging skin is caused by many factors: sun damage, volume loss, decreased elasticity, and textural changes. Harsh UV rays, especially UVA beams, penetrate the dermis and damage skin cells. Even UVB beams can alter your DNA and cause your skin to age prematurely. Volume loss and decreased elasticity go hand in hand. As we age, we lose collagen and elastin. This causes our face to look more hollow and causes our skin to sag. Textural changes also occur. Pores become enlarged, lines more etched in, and the skin feels rougher due to the slowing down of cell turnover.
Common areas to treat
Though we focus primarily on the face (particularly tear troughs, midface, the area around the mouth, and jawline), other areas are becoming more popular to treat. These include the neck, chest, hands, and thighs.
