Aging skin is a natural process characterized by a decline in the skin’s structure and function.
This includes:
* Loss of collagen and elastin: These proteins provide the skin with its plumpness and elasticity. As we age, production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging.
* Slower cell turnover: New skin cells are produced less frequently, resulting in a duller appearance.
* Sun damage: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays breaks down collagen and elastin, accelerating visible signs of aging.

Pros of addressing aging skin: Improved appearance, increased self-confidence.

Cons of addressing aging skin: Treatments can be costly and have side effects.

Alternatives: Skincare routines with sun protection, retinol products, non-invasive procedures like microneedling.

Recovery time: Varies depending on the treatment.

Disclaimer: It’s important to consult a dermatologist to discuss the best approach for your individual needs and concerns.
