AGEING FACE

How does the face age?

The face ages in several ways, and the aging process can vary from person to person depending on factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

LOSS OF COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN
Collagen and elastin are proteins that help keep the skin firm and elastic. As we age, our body produces less of these proteins, which can result in sagging skin and wrinkles.
Thinning of the skin: The skin becomes thinner as we age, which can make it more prone to bruising and injury.

CHANGES IN FACIAL FAT
The fat in our face can shift and diminish with age, resulting in hollowed-out cheeks and a more prominent appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

CHANGES IN BONE STRUCTURE
The bones in our face can also change with age, resulting in a loss of volume and a more sunken appearance.

SUN DAMAGE
Exposure to UV rays from the sun can damage the skin and accelerate the aging process, leading to wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging.

LIFESTYLE FACTORS
Factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, and a lack of exercise can contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, accelerating the aging process.

These changes can result in a variety of signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots, and a loss of volume in the face.

It's important to take good care of your skin and protect it from the sun to help slow the aging process and keep the skin looking youthful and healthy.
