Leading Dermatology for Ageing Skin Concerns.

As we age, the skin undergoes natural changes that can lead to a variety of dermatological concerns. Understanding these processes is the first step towards effective management and maintaining skin health.

At SkinQure, Dr. Paul Charlson, a leading UK Cosmetic Dermatologist with extensive experience, specialises in diagnosing and managing the complex changes associated with ageing skin. His patient-centred approach focuses on thorough assessment and evidence-based strategies to address individual needs.

Understanding Common Dermatological Changes

Many individuals seek expert advice for specific skin changes that become more apparent with age. These can include:

  • Wrinkles:
    The formation of fine lines and deeper wrinkles around the eyes, mouth (often referred to as smoker’s lines), and forehead.

  • Laxity:
    A loss of skin elasticity leading to sagging, particularly noticeable in the neck area (turkey neck) and along the jawline (jowls).

  • Volume Loss:
    A reduction in subcutaneous fat can contribute to a less youthful appearance, with hollowing under the eyes and flattening of the cheeks.

  • Dyspigmentation:
    Changes in skin tone, including age spots (solar lentigines) and uneven pigmentation.

  • Changes in Skin Texture:
    Skin may become thinner, drier, and less smooth.

These changes are often a result of a combination of intrinsic factors (genetics, natural ageing processes) and extrinsic factors (sun exposure, environmental pollutants, lifestyle choices).

Through a detailed consultation, Dr. Charlson will evaluate your specific dermatological needs and discuss appropriate strategies to help manage the visible signs of skin ageing.

Treatment

There are a variety of treatments available to address the signs of ageing skin. These include:

  • Wrinkle Freezing: Injections of botulinum toxin A can temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly on the upper face and forehead. Results typically last for 3-4 months.
  • Dermal Fillers: Injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Common fillers include hyaluronic acid, which mimics a substance naturally found in the skin. Fillers can address volume loss in the cheeks, smooth deep creases around the mouth, and redefine lip borders. We use a wide variety of dermal fillers from different brands to suit the problem, and Paul has taught many colleagues in their application.
  • Collagen Stimulators: Products like Sculptra, Lenisna, Juvelook, Julaine, and Radiesse all work to create new collagen and restore volume. Paul is a recognised trainer for several of these brands.
  • Skin Boosters: These treatments include Profhilo, Juvelook, Polynucleotides, and Exosomes, designed to hydrate and revitalise the skin.
  • Autologous Treatments: Derived from your own body, these include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), stem cells, and exosomes.
  • Microneedling/RF Microneedling: Evidence-based controlled trauma that results in the generation of new collagen.
  • Tixel: A highly effective heat-based skin rejuvenation treatment.
  • HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): Great for skin tightening and limited fat destruction.
  • Laser Therapy: Used for treating fine thread veins and overall skin conditioning.
  • Cryotherapy: Used for treating specific skin conditions.
