Skin texture improvement and maintenance is the most important aspect in
the dermatological anti-aging concept. While blemishes can be covered up by cosmetics, no amount of make-up
can cover coarse, wrinkled or loose skin. Better textured skin - which indicates a healthier structure - is
also more resilient to the aging process.

Treatment Approach:
1. Stop Further Damage
It is never too late start practising sun-protection, so apply
a sunscreen daily. The damaging effect of UV light is cumulative and every little bit adds up.
You don't need to get sunburnt to experience sun-damaged. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 15
or above, and with good UVA protection. If you smoke, stop, or cut-back.
2. Restructuring the Skin
The aim of this is to encourage skin to produce new and healthier
collagen, elastin fibres and cells by stimulating its repair mechanism.
The skin will be smoother and firmer and more resilient to the
aging process.
