Everyone in Auckland enjoys the outdoors and the pleasant Auckland sun. This is when skin pigmentation develops, along with skin ageing. It is essential that you take good care of your skin at an early age, which will give you a foundation for when you are in your 20s onwards.
Looking After your Skin in Your 20s:
Three decades of Auckland sun can have a major impact on your skin, with the usual comment that your skin is “tired”, “dull”, “has wrinkles” and “skin tone loss”. The aim in your 30s is to prevent and treat wrinkles, restore volume, improve skin texture and skin tone.
Looking After your Skin in your 30s:
Our treatments of choice:
With four decades of sun-damage, pre-cancerous spots and skin cancer become a major issue, along with persistent pigmentation presenting as liver spots. Laser resurfacing can address many of these issues. Ultraformer III can improve skin tone and fillers can replace volume loss. Rejuvenation in this age group can produce some outstanding results, which are natural.
Looking After your Skin in your 40s:
If you have availed yourself to sun protection and sunscreens, there may be minor pigmentation issues but, unfortunately, sunscreens were not so effective twenty years ago and the effects quite often show prominently in certain individuals. The best news is that we have multiple skin rejuvenation methods available to help you with your concerns, with a combination of lasers, peels and energy devices we are able to re-vitalise, volumise and rejuvenate your skin, with natural-looking results.
Facts on Looking After your Skin in Your 50s:
In your 60s, a large number of us note skin loss and note that skin is loose, lax and wrinkled, with poor skin tone and uneven skin texture. Many years of New Zealand sun exposure causes sun spots, pigmentation and, in a lot of cases, skin cancer. Using a combination of lasers, fillers and skin tightening devices, we are able to reverse skin ageing and issues of concern.
