Do you need Fractional skin resurfacing, the causes of skin ageing and laxity

Whether you’re 35 and just beginning to see the first signs of ageing, or 55 with skin that isn’t exactly keeping your birthday a secret, seeking ways to reduce wrinkles is probably on your agenda.

Ageing is the most obvious cause of wrinkles, and for good reason. As we age, the collagen and elastin that support our skin break down. Decreased oil production, thinning skin, and loss of subcutaneous fat just add to the decline. All of these things combine to cause age-related wrinkling and sagging. By itself, ageing can lead to plenty of wrinkles; when combined with the following factors, you can expect to look older than the age on your birth certificate.

So what should you be doing less of or more of even, to help your skin keep the wrinkles at bay?

• The sun Avoid the sun (and we don’t mean the newspaper) it’s the No1 cause of wrinkles
• Smoking There are many, many reasons why you should Stop!
• Alcohol Cut down perhaps?
• High sugar intake Also cut back. Your skin and your waistline will thank you for it.
• Stress Will wreak havoc with your complexion.
• Lack of sleep A good nights sleep is essential for skin repair.
• Squinting Don’t squint, get some glasses to keep lines around eyes at bay.
• Eat A diet high in fruit and vegetables.
• Sleep position Always sleep on your back.
• Eat more fish Omega 3 is great for your skin.
• Sunscreen Use an SPF Factor 50 daily, even if its raining and make sure your sunscreen covers UVA and UVB protection. At the Suffolk Medical Clinic we advise using Heliocane
