Mature skin

Mature skin is a skin condition that shows signs of the ageing process. It is used to be classified by age and the date when the skin enters the mature skin phase is considered to be 45 years of age. At this time, women enter the peri-menopausal period, in which a decline in oestrogen has a visible effect on the deterioration of the skin condition.

Mature skin - characteristics

It is not just calendar age that plays a key role here. External factors or genetic factors can accelerate the ageing process and cause marked changes in the skin's texture. Mature skin is characterised by loss of skin firmness and density.

Visible skin sagging, wrinkles and increasingly deep furrows are caused by the loss of collagen and elastin that progresses with age. Due to a decrease in the activity of fibroblasts, which are responsible for the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, the skin loses its firmness, tension and elasticity. It becomes dry. Wrinkles become more and more visible.

Over time, they deepen, consolidate and change into pronounced furrows. Mature skin is dehydrated and poorly nourished. It looks tired and lacks radiance. It often loses its healthy colour. It is dull, grey and thin. It becomes prone to the breaking of blood vessels, the appearance of discolouration and age spots with visibly disturbed skin tone.

Under the influence of the weakening of the muscles of the 'natural scaffolding', it begins to flabby. It also loses its volume. Drooping cheeks and a double chin appear, drooping eyelid and corners of the mouth and eyes. Follows loss of facial oval and blurring its contours.

Mature skin care

Mature skin requires special care. It is very important that it is thoroughly hydration and nourishment. Home remedies may not be sufficient for clear signs of ageing on the skin. Home care can be enriched with professional aesthetic medicine treatments. Vitamin cocktails, platelet-rich plasma or bio-stimulators will help nourish the skin in its deepest layers. They will improve its hydration, thickening and condition.

Procedures using laser technology, ultrasound or EMFACE not only have a skincare effect, but also a rejuvenating effect. Thus, therapy using them on mature skin can visibly reverse the changes caused by the the ageing process.
