It is very important to understand the changes that occur in the body from this age onwards so we can act in favour of our skin and hair.
It is just another stage in a woman's life. It is menopause. One of the areas of care that should be stepped up at this stage is the skin. Because of the influence of hormones, it may be affected.
Wrinkles, crow's feet and expression lines become more noticeable, but what worries women over fifty most is sagging.
It is essential to combat the loss of firmness and elasticity that makes the skin “hang”. There are even cases where women show physical changes both in the shape of the face and in the Double chin, cheekbones or dark circles.
How to protect mature skin at 50
From this age on, the use of anti-aging or antioxidant creams is essential, as they reduce the signs of photoaging. Many of them contain retinoids, vitamin C or salicylic acid, but this is not enough; you need to help the skin stay hydrated and nourished with treatments such as:
Facial mesotherapy: from the first session you will notice your skin more hydrated and toned. In the medium term, radiance is restored and your skin is re-densified, rejuvenating it and eliminating the signs of tiredness.
PRX-T33 Biorevitalisation: we recommend it for photo-aged skin with laxity, to improve its appearance and re-densify the tissue, or simply for anyone who wants to rejuvenate their skin.
Radiofrequency: stimulates the production of collagen and of new elastin fibres. The active collagen in the skin contracts, making the skin firmer, and the elastin fibres make the skin look more elastic.
The importance of hydration
• Drink plenty of water, at least 2 litres a day, and use a pH-neutral soap on the body.
• Sun protection: essential. Always apply sunscreen; at least SPF 30. On the face, hands, décolletage and neck, SPF 50. Do not expose yourself to the sun between 11 h and 16 h.
Filler techniques for wrinkles
From the age of 50, the skin loses tone and volume due to the decrease in collagen and elastin that occurs in the dermis.
