Age Management Skin Treatments Canberra

What causes skin ageing?

Skin ageing has two drivers. Intrinsic ageing is genetic: from our mid-twenties, collagen and elastin production gradually declines and cell turnover slows, leading to fine lines, thinning and loss of firmness. Extrinsic ageing comes from the environment, and is responsible for the majority of visible facial ageing, chiefly UV exposure (photoageing), along with pollution, smoking, hormonal change, poor sleep and diet. The good news is that extrinsic ageing is largely preventable and very treatable, which is why a combination of protection and active treatment works so well.

How we treat ageing skin at The Clinic

• Skin needling with exosomes or a Rejuran skin booster to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.
• Non-surgical skin tightening and nano-fractional RF resurfacing to firm and refine.
• Bio-stimulators and PRP/PRF, plus biostimulatory and remodelling injectables if you would like to consider them, to restore structure and stimulate collagen.
• Laser treatments and chemical peels to resurface and even out tone.
• Advanced facials such as the HydraFacial for instant radiance.

Results are protected and extended with antioxidant and retinoid homecare, such as Le Grand Sérum, Alto Defence Serum and AlphaRet Overnight Cream. Browse age-management skincare, and see our related firming treatments.

What to expect & realistic timelines

Some treatments, like facials and resurfacing, give an immediate glow, while collagen-building therapies such as needling and bio-stimulators work gradually, with results developing over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms. We design a progressive plan rather than chasing a single dramatic change, so your skin improves naturally over time. Daily sun protection and antioxidants underpin everything, because preventing further photoageing is just as important as treating existing signs.

A multidisciplinary team behind your skin

You are never treated in isolation. Our integrative medical doctors and dermal clinicians address every layer of skin ageing together, and if a surgical option is ever the right path, we have a plastic surgeon on our team. Our microbiome chemist can also formulate bespoke supplements to support collagen and skin health from within. It all begins with our 90-minute bespoke skin consultation, where we build a plan tailored specifically to you, and you will leave with a skin concern fact sheet and a meal plan developed to treat your skin from the inside out.
