Pigmentation & Sun Damage
UV damage is one of the leading causes of premature ageing and an abundance of other skin concerns, including sunburn, skin cancer and pigmentation concerns. Harmful UVA and UVB rays within sunlight penetrate deep into the skin to trigger the breakdown of elastin and collagen proteins, encouraging premature wrinkling and sagging. On the other hand, UV damage can affect the cells in your skin that are responsible for the production of melanin – a pigment that gives your skin its unique colouring. When melanin production is disturbed, certain pigmentation disorders can ensue, affecting the colour of individual patches of the skin or the body as a whole, which are known as localised and generalised pigmentation respectively. These concerns include, but are not limited to, liver spots, freckles, moles, and hyperpigmentation. Conditions like these manifest as a result of excess melanin production, causing the skin to become darker, whereas a lack of melanin would trigger conditions that cause the skin to lighten. As you can imagine and as any sufferer will tell you, living with conditions like these can be very embarrassing and difficult on a day-to-day basis. Take back control of your skin with the help of the expert team at North West Aesthetics. With a vast and varied range of the most advanced aesthetic treatments, we can help to restore an even skin tone for a more healthy, youthful appearance.

Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition that mainly tends to affect the faces of adults, and can also be commonly referred to as “chloasma.” Those with a darker skin tone and that live in warmer, sunnier climates are more commonly affected, and the condition is a lot more common in women than it is in men. It is a pigmentation concern whereby certain patches of light to dark brown, and even grey, patches of skin develop, the exact reason for this being unknown. With that said, there are a number of factors that are thought to contribute to these pigmentation changes, including hormone fluctuations during pregnancy, after taking certain medications, or as a result of certain medical conditions. While sun exposure can worsen the condition, melasma is completely harmless and non-cancerous, although its appearance can lead to confidence and self-esteem issues for many sufferers. For this reason, many patients seek professional, bespoke treatment from our expert team here at North West Aesthetics.

Wrinkles
Collagen and elastin. Two proteins found within the connective tissues within your skin, and two crucial building blocks for healthy, youthful skin behaviour. As we age, these proteins gradually diminish, meaning that we lose the natural ability for skin to fully spring back to its original position after having been stretched or pulled. As a result, folds, wrinkles and fine lines can start to set in, an inevitable reality that manifests earlier for some patients than others due to various contributing factors. Aspects such as muscle activity, long-term UV damage, environmental factors and lifestyle choices all have their implications on ageing skin, which is why proper skincare from an early age is so important. Once the damage is done, it can be very hard to manage ageing skin through over-the-counter products alone. So many anti-ageing lines make promises they can’t keep, which is why you should invest in proven, effective treatment here at North West Aesthetics. Our experts tailor 5-star treatments to meet your skincare needs.
