The Truth About Skin Ageing: What Really Works to Support Healthy Skin

Let’s face it – ageing is inevitable. But how your skin ages? That’s where you have some control. In a world filled with skincare promises, it’s time to cut through the noise and focus on what actually works to support healthy, resilient skin as the years go by.

As we age, our skin naturally becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic due to a decline in collagen, elastin, and hydration levels. Environmental stressors, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices only accelerate these changes, leading to lines, pigmentation, dullness, and sagging.

So what can we do about it? Let’s break it down.

If you're investing in professional treatments but neglecting your daily skincare at home, you’re only getting half the results. Consistent, targeted homecare is essential for maintaining and boosting the results of any in-clinic work.

A tailored homecare routine should include:

• A gentle but effective cleanser

• A high-potency antioxidant serum (Vitamin C is gold for daily protection)

• Hydrating serums (look for Hyaluronic Acid)

• A skin-corrective night treatment (more on that below!)

• SPF50 every single day – rain, hail, or shine

If there's one ingredient you need in your skin arsenal, it’s Vitamin A – think Retinol, Retinaldehyde, or Retinoic Acid. This powerhouse supports:

• Cell turnover and renewal

• Collagen and elastin production

• Fading of pigmentation and sun damage

• Smoothing of lines and refining of pores

Vitamin A is scientifically proven to reverse signs of ageing at a cellular level. It's not just hype – it's fact. But it needs to be introduced carefully, with guidance, to avoid irritation and ensure your skin builds tolerance.

For those serious about skin rejuvenation, these are our two most transformative treatments:

Creates micro-injuries that stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process, increasing collagen and elastin. Great for scarring, texture, fine lines, and overall skin strength.

Takes needling to the next level by delivering heat (RF energy) deep into the dermis, tightening and lifting as it rejuvenates. Excellent for firming, reducing wrinkles, and improving skin tone.

Both treatments work synergistically with the right homecare – especially actives like Vitamin A and peptides – for best results.
