Few things like wine get better with age. Sadly, the same is not the case with our skin!! As we age, the repair and renewal processes of our skin cells become slower, the collagen and elastin content of the skin gets lower and visible signs of ageing start to appear. While ageing is not under our control, looking younger is definitely under our control.
Skin ageing depends on a variety of factors – your lifestyle, diet, heredity and other personal habits. Many other factors contribute to ageing. For e.g., exposure to sun and pollution, loss of subcutaneous fat, stress, gravity and even sleep position. Thus while many causes of skin ageing are entirely natural and cannot be altered, some factors can definitely be influenced. A holistic approach to lifestyle and skincare can help to slow down the ageing process and reduce visible signs of ageing.
Early signs of ageing (20s and 30s)
Signs of ageing may become apparent on the skin as early as in your 20s, depending on genetics and your lifestyle. These signs are often ignored and missed as signs of ageing. These include dullness, uneven skin tone, dryness, open pores, sun spots, fine lines, undereye dark circles and puffiness. A lot of these can be delayed by using the right kind of products including an exfoliating face wash, a good toner and moisturizer and most importantly a sunscreen. Signs of ageing can be reversed or improved by doing the right treatments under the right supervision.
At Klarity, we offer a wide range of services under expert guidance, to help reverse and delay your early signs of ageing. These include
- Magnetic Radiance
We offer a range of facials to suit your skin type and needs. These are customized beauty treatments with a revolutionary concept using natural ingredients that help improve dullness, dryness and uneven skin tone. Our Oxygeneo facial helps to exfoliate, nourish and tighten the skin and leaves the skin firmer and tighter.
- Laser toning
One of the latest and most updated lasers, Helios III, evens out skin colour and gets rid of pigmentation revealing a brighter, lighter skin which also feels firmer. It also helps to improve freckles and uneven skin tone.
- Rejuvenation with PRP
PRP or Platelet rich plasma essentially contains your own growth factors derived from your blood. PRP restores your skin to a younger healthier state by stimulating cell growth. The process rejuvenates the appearance of the skin and helps alleviate concerns like fine lines, dark circles and open pores.
- Hydrating Fillers or skin boosters
These fillers contain hyaluronic acid and when injected they help to improve the moisture content of your skin. Thus, the skin looks and feels softer and more youthful.
Delayed signs of ageing (the 30s and 40s)
As you approach your late 30’s and 40’s, the signs of ageing get more apparent. Lines and wrinkles due to the facial expressions (frown, forehead lines and crow’s feet) become deeper and visible even at rest. The laugh lines near the nose and mouth appear deeper. Lips also show changes and become smaller in size. Skin begins to lose its elasticity and volume. Apart from maintaining the skin texture and tone, this stage may benefit from corrective treatments.
At Klarity, our expert team of doctors will choose the right set of treatments from the various options available to prioritize your needs and customize the solution. Treatments available are
- Wrinkle reduction with botox
Botox is a product that works by relaxing the small muscles of the face, thus leading to wrinkle free, smooth skin.
- Dermal Fillers
Can be used to treat not only ageing concerns like loss of volume from cheeks and deep grooves (nasolabial folds), they can also be used to enhance and improve facial features like cheeks, chin and lips.
- Threadlift
This is a minimally invasive procedure, wherein, threads made of completely absorbable material are introduced beneath the skin. These threads stimulate new collagen secretion to give you a visibly firmer, younger looking skin.
- Microneedling RF
This is one of the newest innovations in skin rejuvenation. It helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, open pores and makes your skin firmer and tighter.
- Thermage
Thermage is a radiofrequency treatment that helps to improve the laxity of skin, not only on the face and eyes, but also on the various parts of the body. It works in one treatment with no downtime. The results are absolutely natural. Its YOU, just a little younger looking and more confident!
- Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. A single treatment gives immediate results without any downtime. The results improve over 2-3 months, revealing a younger, firmer looking skin.
Advanced signs of ageing (50’s and 60’s)
During the 50’s and thereafter, the skin appears very dry and cracked. The existing fine lines and deep set wrinkles become more pronounced. The face begins to sag, jowls appear with the drooping of jawline and cheeks. Loss of volume and resorption of the bone leads to sunken cheeks, thinner lips, bags under the eyes, lines and furrows around the mouth. These decades are all about choosing the right advanced cosmetic treatments that achieve natural results so that you look and feel better. We at Klarity, offer a customized solution keeping in mind the dry, sensitive skin along with other medical conditions that may exist at this age.
The focus needs to be on skin tightening and lifting along with volume restoration. A combination of treatments is usually required. Thermage and Ultherapy help to improve the facial contour. Fillers help to restore lost volume. Botox can help relax lines due to facial expressions and threadlift can help to improve sagging.
