What is skin ageing?
Ageing is different for each of us, and it depends on many factors: exposure to the sun or harsh elements, type and frequency of skin care, pollution, injury, stress, genetics, diet, habits, any medical conditions and more.

Many of these effects can be reduced or significantly reversed with consistent care and treatment from a skilled dermatologist. Undergoing regular anti-ageing treatment and wrinkle-fighting procedures can soften the signs of age, letting you appear healthy and younger than your actual age.
How does it happen?
The genetically programmed ageing leads to biochemical changes in the elastin and collagen. Elastin is that connective tissue which provides the skin with its firmness and elasticity. It is the primary cause behind the ageing of the skin. When skin ageing starts, the skin tends to lose its elasticity and firmness due to the changes in the elastin
and collagen. The skin looks saggy and wrinkled. It can also be caused due to excessive exposure of the skin to sunlight. It is known as Photoaging. Even smoking can lead to skin ageing.
