The Science Behind Facial Ageing

Thanks to advancements in skincare and cosmetic treatments, it’s possible to slow and even reverse signs of facial ageing. Here’s how:

Establish a Consistent Skincare Routine

Start early and maintain a daily routine focused on:

• Sun protection: Use SPF 30 or higher every day.
• Retinoids (Vitamin A derivatives): Stimulate collagen and reduce fine lines.
• Antioxidants like Vitamin C: Protect skin from free radical damage.
• Moisturising: Keeps skin plump and elastic.

Tip: Consult a dermatologist for personalised skincare tailored to your skin’s needs.

Enhance Your Lifestyle Habits

• Quit smoking to prevent premature skin ageing.
• Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins.
• Stay hydrated – aim for 2 litres of water daily.
• Exercise regularly to improve blood circulation and nourish skin cells.

Consider Non-Invasive Treatments

If skincare alone isn’t enough, non-invasive procedures can make a visible difference:

• Botox: Softens dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles.
• Dermal fillers: Restore volume in cheeks, lips, and under the eyes.
• Chemical peels: Remove dead skin cells for smoother texture.
• Microneedling: Stimulates collagen for firmer skin.

For guidance, consult an expert like Dr Nizar Hamadeh, whose team can recommend customised treatments to suit your goals.

Explore Surgical Solutions for Long-Term Results

For more dramatic and lasting results, surgical options can be effective:

• Facelifts: Tighten skin and restore facial contours.
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery): Removes excess skin and fat around the eyes.
• Neck lifts: Address sagging under the chin and along the jawline.
• Fat grafting: Adds volume by transferring fat from one area of the body.

Always consult with a board-certified surgeon to ensure safety and the best possible outcome. Professionals like Dr Hamadeh combine surgical skill with an artistic eye to help patients achieve natural, rejuvenated results.
