There are in fact two distinct types of aging.

  1. Intrinsic– Aging caused by the genes we inherit is called intrinsic (internal) aging.
  2. Extrinsic– The other type of aging is known as extrinsic (external) or premature aging and is caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to the sun’s rays. See also – Sun Damage.

Intrinsic aging is also known as the natural aging process that normally begins in our mid-20s and is progressive. This affects all layers of the skin and its underlying structures.

Within the skin, collagen production slows, and elastin, the substance giving the skin its elastic properties, has a bit less spring. Dead skin cells don’t shed as fast and there is a decrease in new skin cells production.

The underlying structures also change. Muscles slowly waste away and shrink, fat is lost in some areas and gained in others and we also lose bone. The reduction and changes in these underlying structures causes changes in the shape of our faces and accentuates sagging skin and volume loss.

While these changes usually begin in our 20s, the signs of intrinsic aging are typically not visible for decades.

Signs of Facial Intrinsic Aging

  • Fine wrinkles
  • Thin and transparent skin
  • Loss of underlying fat, leading to hollowed cheeks and eye sockets as well as noticeable loss of firmness on the hands and neck
  • Bones shrink away from the skin due to bone loss, which causes sagging skin
  • Dry skin that may itch
  • Loss of muscle tissue and tone
  • Accumulation of fatty deposits
  • Unwanted hair

Signs of Facial Extrinsic Aging

  • Deeper lines and wrinkles
  • Thin, fragile skin
  • Thickened, rough skin
  • Loss of skin tone and elasticity resulting in loose, sagging skin
  • Increased pigmentation that is often patchy
  • Loss of pigment often appearing as white spots
  • Star shaped scars
  • Damaged capillaries and red spots
  • Keratoses and other benign skin lesions
  • Skin cancers
  • Sallow and dull appearance.

To maintain, or regain our youthful appearance, best results are seen with a combination of treatments to address multiple layers and concerns. Thankfully many of our treatments can address more than one concern, so a skin consultation is usually the best place to start.

What our clients say

I can’t tell you how life changing this experience has been for me! Elisha has literally reshaped my body and smoothed out all the unsightly bulges that were the result of my body changing from menopause. I now don’t worry if I have to get my bathers on and even feel confident in a figure hugging dress. I went to another place previously that didn’t seem to care or take the time to give me all the information, or discuss what I really wanted and just felt like I was a number. I’m so glad I chose CosMedical as Elisha made me feel so comfortable and really took the time to evaluate all my areas to decide how best to treat me. Thank you so much Elisha for giving me back my confidence. I couldn’t be happier!
Melissa
Cosmedical Skin Solutions are both professional and friendly with a realistic approach to results, which means I can trust their judgement when they advise what will work best on my skin. I like the fact that they don't gush over the latest hot news treatment, but take time to research the evidence. The clinic is always spotless and a calm place to visit, which is great after a busy day.
Sarah
Currently doing the EM LIFT MAX program and I am amazed with the result! My abdomen muscles separated during pregnancy and I have been working out at the gym for over a year 5 times a week with little result and after 6 sessions with EM LIFT I lost a few cm around my waist and my abs looks really toned! I am so grateful for all the amazing friendly staffs and professional service. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
Beam
I have been to CosMedical Skin Solutions many times over the last 4 years. Elisha and her team are very professional and discreet, whilst maintaining an easy going and friendly manner, and I appreciate their wealth of experience and knowledge of the industry. I've been extremely happy with the results I've received from all the treatments I have undertaken, especially the IPL photo rejuvenation, the IPL hair removal and the fat freezing. Elisha listens to my concerns and comes up with a solution tailored specifically to me. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you ladies.
