Our skin naturally becomes less elastic and more delicate as we age. As the natural oils that keep the skin moisturised are produced less, the skin gets drier and more wrinkled. The skin’s deeper layers of fat get thinner. As a result, the skin becomes saggy and loose, and creases and wrinkles stand out more. Wrinkles and drooping skin are undesirable, but becoming older and wiser is fantastic. The finest lasers can be used to treat wrinkles and loose skin, which are common indications of ageing. Today’s laser technology is highly developed and as new products become available, our options for treating skin issues expand.

As we become older, our skin is less able to repair these damaged collagen cells. Fine lines and wrinkles are the first indicators of ageing on the surface, gradually giving way to loose skin.
