Ageing affects every layer of the face, from skin quality and collagen, to volume, structure and muscle movement. This is why different treatments often work best when used together, as each addresses a different layer. My approach focuses on treating these changes in a balanced way, for example improving skin quality, restoring subtle structural support, stimulating collagen and softening lines where appropriate. Rather than treating one concern in isolation, I look at how everything works together to keep results natural and harmonious.</p><p> </p><p>I will always design a personalised treatment plan with careful timing and no pressure to do everything at once. Treatments can be phased gradually, focusing first on what will make the biggest difference while keeping your results subtle and natural.</p>","9551510c-7e7c-4050-86b6-7d7743d053b7":"ebd5cb","00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118":[],"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b":false,"c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e":"<h2><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(203,34%,27%);\"><i>What Happens When Skin Ages?</i></span></h2><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#333333;\">Skin ageing is a gradual, layered process that affects every level of the skin and the structures beneath it. It often begins earlier than most people realise, commonly from the mid-20s, and becomes more visible over time. The changes you see on the surface reflect deeper shifts happening below. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#333333;\">Collagen, the protein responsible for skin strength and support, decreases by around 1% every year after your mid-20s. Elastin, which allows skin to stretch and recoil, also declines. Levels of hyaluronic acid reduce, meaning the skin holds less moisture and appears less plump and radiant. Together, these changes lead to thinner skin, fine lines, and increased skin laxity. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#333333;\">Ageing also affects the deeper framework of the face. Facial fat pads gradually lose volume and descend, reducing soft tissue support. Over time, the facial skeleton undergoes slow, subtle reshaping as bone is gradually broken down and rebuilt in different areas. This leads to a gentle loss of overall facial bone volume and changes in contour, which reduces the support available for the soft tissues above. </span></p>","7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f":[6567]}
