AGE | APPEARANCE | PHYSIOLOGY | TREATMENTS | > 15 | Nearly perfect skin. Smooth texture, Small pores | Excellent repair capabilities, low sebaceous gland activity, good skin hydration. | Sun Protection | 15 to 25 | Acne can be a key factor in surface texture | Fine lines start to appear, pore size increase. High sebaceous gland activity. Mild drop in dermal repair, immune system and collagen synthesis.Strong cohesion between skin layers and rapid cell turnover. Small drop in hydration, noticeable particularly in winter. | Acne treatment, Luminotherapy, Chemical peelings | 25 – 45 | More fine lines and appearance of first wrinkles (photodamage). Early signs of sagging near the eye. Some loss of elasticity | Moderate decrease in dermal repair, resulting in less collagen and increased accumulation of damaged corrective tissue. Noticeable and significant drop in skin hydration | Botulinum Tox, Hyaluronic Acid fillers, Carboxytherapy, Laser/IPL. Moisturisers | 45 – 55 | More wrinkles, rough texture. Sallow yellow colour begins to appear. Pore and age spots enlarge and define. Sagging near the eyes and cheeks | Significant decrease in dermal repair and immune system. Continued dermal degradation. Cohesion between skin layers continue to decline. Thinning of epidermis and stratum corneum. Skin tend to be dry. | | 55 + | Wrinkles and fine lines in abundance. Uneven colour, pigmentation. Sagging worsens. Dark circles under eyes | Compromised dermal repair, low production of collagen and sebum. Increased local over production of melanin. Bone shrinkage of jaw and cheekbones. Abondance of damaged connective tissue. | |
