As we age, our skin naturally changes. While this is a normal part of life, many people seek ways to maintain healthy, vibrant skin for longer. At The Danebury Practice in Andover, we help patients understand the ageing process and offer treatments that support skin health, texture, and appearance.
What Causes Skin Ageing?
Skin ageing is influenced by a combination of intrinsic (natural) and extrinsic (environmental) factors:
- Intrinsic ageing – Genetic factors, natural loss of collagen and elastin, slower cell turnover.
- Extrinsic ageing – Sun exposure (UV damage), smoking, pollution, poor nutrition, and lifestyle choices.
- Hormonal changes – Menopause or other hormonal shifts can affect skin thickness, hydration, and elasticity.
Common Signs of Ageing Skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles – especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- Loss of firmness and elasticity – sagging cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Volume loss – in the face, lips, and under-eyes.
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation – sun spots, age spots, and freckles.
- Dryness and rough texture – as natural oil production decreases.
Aesthetic Treatments for Ageing Skin
At The Danebury Practice, we offer a variety of treatments to help reduce the visible signs of ageing and restore confidence:
- Injectables – such as anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers to smooth lines and restore volume.
- Chemical peels – improve skin texture, tone, and pigmentation.
- Microneedling / collagen induction therapy – stimulate natural collagen production and improve skin quality.
- LED light therapy – reduce inflammation and boost skin repair.
- Medical-grade facials and skin resets – deep hydration and rejuvenation for a radiant glow.
Skincare Tips to Support Ageing Skin
- Daily sun protection – SPF is essential to prevent further UV damage.
- Hydration and moisturisers – maintain skin barrier and prevent dryness.
- Gentle exfoliation – helps remove dead skin cells and improve texture.
- Balanced lifestyle – healthy diet, adequate sleep, and avoiding smoking all support healthy skin.
