About skin quality and ageing

 

Skin structure

Fibroblasts play a key role in the skin ageing process.
They synthesise the supportive structure in the skin, producing two main proteins: collagen and elastin.

young-healthy-skin

Young, healthy skin

aged-skin

Aged skin: as the skin ages, collagen and elastin degenerate and fibroblast activity is reduced.

mature-skin

Mature skin: after significant degeneration.

fibroblast

Fibroblast - fibroblasts produce collagen, which is the major structural protein in the skin.

elastin

Elastin - fibres that are loosely arranged in all directions in the dermis and provide elasticity to the skin.

collagen

Collagen - fibres that make up a majority of the intra-cellular matrix of the dermis and impact the skin’s toughness and strength.

Skin ageing factors

Different factors affect skin ageing

crono-ageing

CHRONOAGEING (INTRINSIC AGEING) • Volume loss • Texture alteration • Dryer skin

photoageing

PHOTOAGEING (DUE TO SUNLIGHT) • Elastic tissue degeneration – sagging • Pigmentation disorders – lighter skin & blemishes

mechanical-ageing

MECHANICAL AGEING (EXPRESSION LINES) • Forehead transversal wrinkles • Glabella lines • Crow’s feet • Upper lip lines
