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.
