Skin Architect specialises in treating ageing skin, offering a range of advanced anti-ageing treatments designed to address sun damage and restore a more youthful, radiant complexion.
As the skin matures, several changes naturally occur. Common signs of ageing include:
• Lines and wrinkles
• Loss of firmness, leading to sagging brows, hooded eyelids, deeper folds, marionette lines and jowls
• Dullness and reduced luminosity due to thinning of the outer skin layer
• Pigmentation and sun spots, giving the appearance of sun damage
• Increased fragility, making the skin more prone to bruising and visible capillaries
• Loss of facial volume, particularly in the cheeks, temples, chin and under-eye area, creating a hollow or tired look
• Changes to bone structure, especially in the lower face, influencing jaw and chin shape
• Changes to cartilage, such as drooping of the nasal tip
Ageing skin is part of the natural biological process, influenced by a combination of:
These elements impact how quickly collagen, elastin and natural oils break down, all of which help keep the skin firm, hydrated and youthful.
It’s not possible to completely prevent the natural ageing process. However, you can slow premature ageing by:
• Minimising sun exposure and wearing SPF daily
• Avoiding smoking
• Protecting skin from pollution
• Managing stress levels
• Following a high-quality skincare routine
• Considering professional treatments that stimulate collagen and elastin

Daily sunscreen use is one of the most effective ways to protect against premature ageing.
Yes. Smoking increases the production of free radicals, which damage skin cells and accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin. This leads to earlier and more pronounced wrinkles and a dull, uneven complexion.
Professional resurfacing can help reduce wrinkles, smooth texture and brighten sun-damaged skin by encouraging fresh, healthy renewal of the skin’s surface.
Medical-grade skincare systems tailored to target pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines and overall skin quality can dramatically improve the appearance of aged skin over time. These plans are customised and require assessment by one of our clinic doctors.
Hydrating and collagen-stimulating injectable treatments can improve texture, soften fine lines and restore a natural radiance by boosting moisture levels and skin elasticity.
Targeted treatments for sun spots and uneven tone can significantly brighten the skin and improve clarity, helping to reverse the visible effects of sun damage.
Your practitioner will tailor a skincare routine to your individual needs.
