Effective Ways to Reverse Ageing Damage

Dr. Mounika Ketha, Founder & Chief Dermatologist, Arna Dermatology & Aesthetics, Hyderabad, shared with HT Lifestyle some tips to reverse the damage in skin caused by ageing.

1. Introduce retinoids

Retinoids, derived from vitamin A, are potent ingredients known for their skin-renewing properties. Incorporate retinol or prescription retinoids into your nighttime skincare routine to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Antioxidant-rich food

Antioxidants combat free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to skin ageing. Look for food containing vitamins C and E, like mango, Kiwifruit, Blackberries, Broccoli, sunflower seeds, almonds and others to protect your skin internally.

3. Hydration

As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin. Use skincare products like peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C to improve skin firmness and elasticity and glycerin to lock in moisture and plump the skin. Hydrate your skin from the inside by drinking plenty of water.

4. Professional treatments

Consider professional treatments such as bio remodelling, also known as profile, for specific skin concerns. This technique involves skillfully injecting stabilized ultrapure hyaluronic acid into the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, bio-remodeling seamlessly integrates with the body’s natural hyaluronic acid, yielding a natural appearance. Notably, it offers results without extended recovery periods, allowing a swift return to daily activities. Additionally, bio-remodeling is versatile, addressing concerns from fine lines to skin laxity in various body areas.

5. Lifestyle changes

Make conscious lifestyle changes to support skin health. Incorporate regular exercise to improve blood circulation and promote overall well-being. Manage stress through relaxation techniques like meditation and deep breathing, as chronic stress can contribute to premature ageing.

To identify what best suits you for your age and skin type. Try not to use every product that you come across and, most importantly, keep it minimal and basic to adhere to your skincare routine more efficiently.
