MATURE
SKIN

Look after your skin as you mature

Our skin changes significantly over the years due to a combination of internal and external factors. Regardless of your age, healthy skin is an achievable goal and it’s never too late to start looking after your skin.

Mature skin requires some extra considerations. Our skin barrier will lose lipids and become more sensitive leading to dryer and sometimes uncomfortable and itchy skin. The natural repair mechanisms in the skin become less efficient and the skin is more vulnerable to environmental damage. Skin cancer rates increase and we need to be extra vigilant as to any new lumps, bumps or moles. These changes will be reflected in the skin’s appearance with changes in tone, texture and quality of the skin.

A consultation for mature skin will involve a thorough exploration of your skin history and your skin goals, as well as addressing any concerns you may have about abnormalities on the skin. Dr Emma can help build a personalised treatment plan for your skin to help optimise the skin from inside out, leaving it fresh, healthy and glowing.  For some patients, this may be achieved with the right skincare and lifestyle choices.  For others, they may want to explore treatments to address the visible signs of ageing such as lines and wrinkles (link to ageing page).

The journey of your skin over decades will be very personal to you.  Dr Emma can build a bespoke treatment plan addressing your skin’s individual needs and tailoring it to your requirements.
