Ageing Skin & Loss of Firmness

Over time, the skin naturally produces less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. These changes can reduce hydration, resilience and the skin’s ability to remain firm and supported.

Facial fat compartments and deeper structural support also change with age, which may affect cheek shape, jawline definition and the appearance of the lower face.

Sun exposure, hormonal changes, lifestyle factors and genetics influence how quickly these changes become visible.

For many patients, ageing is not simply about wrinkles. It may involve a combination of skin thinning, dehydration, volume loss, reduced firmness and changes in facial proportion. Understanding which elements are contributing most allows us to create a treatment plan that feels balanced rather than overdone.
