Ageing of the skin is a gradual process that is associated with changes to the appearance, characteristics and function of the skin. A combination of genetic, lifestyle, dietary and environmental factors contribute to skin ageing.
Intrinsic ageing, also known as the natural ageing process, is a continuous process that normally begins in our mid-20s. Within the skin, collagen production slows and elastin, the substance that enables skin to snap back into place, has a bit less spring. Dead skin cells do not shed as quickly and the turnover of new skin cells decreases between the ages of 20 and 60. While these changes usually begin in our 20s, the signs of intrinsic ageing are typically not visible for decades. Our genetic makeup controls how quickly the normal ageing process happens.
A number of extrinsic or external factors can act individually or together on the normal ageing process to age our skin prematurely. Most premature skin ageing is caused by sun exposure. Other external factors that prematurely age our skin are repetitive facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions, diet and smoking.

We provide a range of acne scar treatments, including laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microneedling, dermal fillers, subcision, and fractional radiofrequency. The choice of treatment depends on the type and severity of your acne scars, as well as your skin type and individual needs.
The specific mechanisms vary depending on the treatment, but generally, acne scar treatments work by promoting collagen production, remodeling the skin's texture, reducing pigmentation, and stimulating skin rejuvenation. They help to smoothen the skin, diminish the appearance of scars, and restore a more even complexion.
The level of discomfort experienced during acne scar treatment can vary depending on the treatment modality and individual sensitivity. However, at VCare Skin Clinics, we prioritize your comfort and utilize various techniques to minimize any discomfort.
The number of sessions required for acne scar treatment depends on the severity of the scars, the chosen treatment modality, and individual factors. In some cases, significant improvement can be seen after a single session, while others may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired results. During your consultation, our doctors will provide you with a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
In conclusion, ageing is a complex process involving intrinsic factors (genetics) and extrinsic factors (especially sun exposure). Ageing is not a disease but a normal process that happens to everyone.
