Your skin in your Seventies & Beyond

As you reach your seventies and the years beyond, decline in your skin’s collagen and elasticity continues. Along with skin sagging and deeply etched lines, you may experience a curling up of your chin with a deeper crease under your lower lip, as well as a long upper lip and a curling down of the tip of your nose. You will likely see further volume loss in your cheeks and around your temples.  

The good news is it’s never too late to start caring for your skin, and there are many advances in skin technologies and techniques which help ensure you look as young as you feel. 

This decade is all about strengthening and rebuilding your skin through treatments such as skin tightening and laser therapies that will help to correct skin discolouration and unwanted visible veins.  

Similar to skin in your sixties, take care to invest in treatments that aren’t too harsh on your skin as it is often thin and delicate. Laser and energy-based treatments like Fraxel® and Profound which penetrate the deeper layers of your skin for long-term collagen stimulation and skin plumping are ideal at this age. We also recommend adding regular Laser Vein treatments to reduce visible veins, redness and pigmentation.

To maintain those hard earned results in clinic,  you should use a prescribed at-home skincare routine that includes daily antioxidants and UV protection to preserve your collagen and elastin, AHAs, BHAs and prescription vitamin A to speed up cellular turnover, and ceramides and vitamin B3 to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.  

• Wear a strong SPF sunscreen every day (even if you’re indoors) 
• Boost the results of your treatments with at-home active skincare products  
• Maximise your results with a holistic plan that combines treatments 
• When treating your face, always treat your neck and décolletage at the same time to ensure consistent results 

Our experienced clinicians know how to achieve natural– looking results that will help you look great for your age and feel your confident best. They will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual concerns and goals. 

Start your journey to beautiful, healthy skin.
