• Dull Skin: As skin ages, its ability to produce new cells to replace the dead cells on the skin’s surface slows down. This buildup of dead cells makes the skin look dull, rough, and lackluster. 
• Uneven Skin Tone: The overproduction of melanin pigment due to excessive sun exposure or hormonal factors leads to uneven skin tone in the form of age spots, melasma, irregular and dark patches on the lips, chin, or dark circles around the eyes, and scarring after breakouts. These lead to a patchy complexion that becomes more pronounced as we age. 
• Wrinkles: Folds and ridges form in aging skin due to the loss of structural proteins called collagen and elastin. 
• Open pores: Often, open pores enlarge and look prominent with age due to the constant loss of collagen and excessive sebum production by the skin’s sebaceous glands. 
• Fine Lines: These are initial signs of aging that occur as shallow creases in the skin due to the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin proteins. Some examples include horizontal forehead lines, glabellar lines on the mid-brow region, laughter lines around the mouth, and bunny lines on the upper nose region, which appear with regular muscle movement and may eventually lead to permanent wrinkles. 
• Saggy Skin: Sagging or loose skin is a common concern on the face, especially around the eyelids, cheeks, and chin besides the neck. It occurs mainly due to the loss of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin due to aging. 
• Volume Loss: As we age, the skin loses volume and suppleness due to a reduction in collagen, bone demineralization, and fat loss, prominently in areas such as the cheeks, neck, and under the eyes. 

Now that you know about common aging skin complaints, check out advanced aesthetic solutions to reduce them visibly. 

Even though aging is inevitable, there is a possibility to minimize the signs that appear prematurely so that your skin looks young and flawless. Dermatologists at Oliva customize these professional solutions as per your specific concerns to treat the signs of aging and give natural-looking results. 

• Laser Toning: It is a precise procedure that uses a laser beam with customizable parameters to rejuvenate dull skin and safely improve your skin tone. The treatment works by breaking the pigment cells in the dermal layer that cause dark spots, age spots, uneven skin tone, and even post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The body’s immune system eliminates the melanin debris naturally to reveal a flawless complexion. It also stimulates collagen production to give an overall skin tightening effect. 
• Botulinum Toxin Injections: This protein derivative of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, when injected into facial muscles, relaxes them and helps reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. 
• Fillers: The use of fillers helps correct the volume loss due to aging that causes under-eye hollows, sunken cheeks, and temple hollows. Hyaluronic acid fillers are USFDA-approved injectables for plumping up the skin, enhancing facial features, adding contour, and defining the jawline. The filler treatment may need repeated maintenance sessions as the results may last for months or years.
• HIFU: This advanced aesthetic treatment involves using high-intensity focused ultrasound technology to heat the deepest layers of skin and reduce signs of aging. It helps the existing collagen contract and fat shrink to a limited extent while stimulating the production of new collagen. Its skin tightening effects reshape facial features and provide visibly younger-looking skin. This treatment helps minimize double chin effectively as well. 
• Intragen Monopolar RF: This minimally invasive treatment helps correct saggy and loose skin, especially jowls and turkey neck. It employs radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers and stimulate collagen and elastin production for redefining your jawline visibly.
• MNRF: Micro-needling Radiofrequency treatment minimizes the appearance of open pores due to aging-related skin laxity. Micro-needles inserted in the skin release radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which helps reverse the signs of aging and improve skin texture.
