Reverse the ageing process

After you reach a certain age, you can’t help, but see the effects of ageing on your skin. One look in the mirror and you can spot fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. At this juncture, anyone would like to know ways to reverse or slow down the ageing process. Here are some of your most pressing questions answered. 

What is the process of ageing? Ageing is the process of growing old. It is a continuous time-dependent and multifacto rial phenomenon of reduction in size and number of cells and also a reduction in the rate of many organic functions, both at cellular and molecular levels. The main reason for the skin beginning to sag, however, is that the collagen growth decelerates and the elastin in our skin becomes less elastic. 

What are the causes of ageing? Stress, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and excessive food intake speed up the aging process. The sun’s ultraviolet rays are extre mely damaging to your skin too. Other causes include cigarette smoking, too much consumption of coffee, caffeinated beverages and alcohol. 
 
What is the best anti-ageing treatment?
    RF with Diode Laser: RF can cause the collagen to contract and tighten over a period of time and the combination diode laser can help reduce other problems, such as redness and brown pigmentation blotches. The procedure is also rapid and non invasive.
    Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy is a non-invasive procedure done with a circular motion massage to improve the blood flow, smoothen the skin and enhance skin elasticity. 

    IPL (Intense Pulse Light): IPL or Flashlamp Therapy is a non-invasive and nonablative treatment that uses high intensity pulses of visible light to improve the appearance of the skin by treating its problems.
