Collagen and elastin
Collagen production gradually declines with age, and elastin becomes less resilient. This contributes to fine lines and laxity.
Volume and structure
Facial fat pads shrink and shift, and bone structure changes over time, which can lead to hollowing and jowling.
Surface and tone
Cell turnover slows and sun exposure accumulates, which can lead to dullness, texture and pigmentation.
What this means for treatment
Because aging happens on several levels, thoughtful plans often combine approaches — for movement, volume, collagen and surface — over time. Redefining aging with authenticity means working with these changes, not erasing who you are.
