As the years go by, the skin will no longer be as smooth & taut as it used to be. Many vital functions of the skin decline and changes in the skin become visible over the years. Skin aging is of two types Intrinsic or chronological aging which is universal , is defined by declining regenerative capacity, hormone decline & Extrinsic (photo aging) aging results from environmental factors such as UV radiation , smoking& pollution . Due to all these factors skin loses its elasticity & sags, forms furrows or wrinkle lines. Also due to atrophy of glands which secrete oil the skin’s ability to retain moisture decline. As a result the skin becomes dry & scaly. Frown lines (those between the eyebrows) & crow’s feet (lines that radiate from the corner of the eyes), smile lines develop. In addition due to gravity, wrinkles develop downwards, a phenomenon seen in sagging cheeks & drooping eyelids.

Remarkable changes in facial appearance can be obtained, giving younger appearance. Often combinations of different cosmetic procedures are required for the best results.
