What lifestyle habits contribute to the aging process?
While sagging neck and jowls can be caused by the natural aging process, other factors such as sun damage, skin laxity, and genetics can also contribute to the appearance of sagging skin. In addition, lifestyle habits such as UV damage, smoking, drinking alcohol, and not getting enough sleep can also accelerate the aging process.
Do genes have an effect on how our skin ages?
Our genes may dictate how our skin ages, but it is possible to slow or even reverse the effects of ageing through good skincare habits. Regular sun protection is key, as UV rays cause skin damage which can lead to premature ageing. In addition, utilizing smart devices such as LED masks and at-home laser treatments can help to improve skin tone and texture over time.
I have long relied on non-invasive Radio Frequency (RF) treatments in my professional practice for "time-release" rejuvenation. These treatments help to stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
