As the skin ages it slows its production of collagen and the reduction in elastin can cause the skin to become dry. Did you know for every year after the age of 25 we lose 1% of collagen production. At Elysian we may not be able to reverse the signs of aging but we can definitely PAUSE it.

Skin aging can be classified into two types

• Intrinsic
• Extrinsic

What do we mean by this?

Well Intrinsic refers to the natural aging process that occurs due to genetic factors, causing the signs of aging such as lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.

Extrinsic aging is caused by external factors that accelerate the aging process, such as stress, pollution, smoking and poor diet.

Most people believe that their skin is inherited, and that they have good genes! But actually 80-90% of extrinsic factors have the biggest role to play in us aging.
