Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures to Ease the Signs of Ageing

As we age, our skin naturally undergoes various changes. While these changes are a normal part of life, many people seek non-surgical cosmetic procedures to help ease the visible signs of ageing.

At Shire Aesthetics, we offer a full range of non-surgical treatments designed to address common concerns such as wrinkles, sagging skin, uneven tone and loss of volume. With professional guidance, clients can select treatments that suit their needs and work towards achieving smoother and healthier-looking skin.

Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Wrinkles and fine lines often appear in areas with frequent movement, such as around the eyes, forehead and mouth. For patients looking to address these signs of ageing, several non-surgical procedures are available to smooth the skin and improve its appearance.

• Anti-Wrinkle Treatments: These non-invasive treatments target dynamic wrinkles, helping to relax lines around the face. By targeting specific facial areas, they contribute to a smoother and more refreshed appearance.
• Microneedling & RF Microneedling: Microneedling, including radiofrequency (RF) options, stimulates collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines. This procedure works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, encouraging natural healing and rejuvenation.
• Fractional Laser & CO2 Laser: These resurfacing treatments penetrate deeper skin layers to promote cell renewal. As the skin heals, fine lines become less noticeable, resulting in a smoother surface.

Non-surgical cosmetic procedures offer effective options for addressing signs of ageing, including wrinkles, sagging skin and uneven skin tone.

Sagging Skin and Loss of Firmness

As collagen production decreases with age, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging, particularly around the cheeks, jawline and neck. Various non-surgical procedures can help to lift and firm the skin, providing an enhanced facial structure.

• Thread Face Lift: This minimally invasive procedure offers a subtle lift to sagging areas of the face. Inserting threads beneath the skin helps to reposition soft tissues, providing a more defined contour.
• Plasma Pen: This treatment tightens the skin by creating small, controlled micro-injuries. As the body heals, collagen production increases, resulting in improved skin firmness.
• Healite II: A gentle light therapy, Healite II supports ongoing skin health by encouraging collagen production. This treatment is ideal for maintaining skin firmness over time.

Uneven Skin Tone and Texture

Age-related changes can also lead to uneven skin tone, pigmentation issues and a rougher texture. These factors can contribute to a dull or patchy appearance, which non-surgical treatments can help address.

• Chemical Skin Peels: Chemical peels target the outer layers of the skin to remove dead cells and promote new growth. This procedure can reduce pigmentation and improve skin smoothness.
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): IPL uses light energy to treat pigmentation concerns, such as age spots and redness. This treatment is effective in creating a more even skin tone and texture.
• Hydrodermabrasion: This non-invasive treatment exfoliates the skin while providing hydration. The result is a refreshed, polished appearance and a smoother skin texture.

Volume Loss and Hollowing

Loss of volume is another common concern that can affect the cheeks, temples and areas around the eyes. As we age, the face may appear sunken or hollowed, but non-surgical treatments can help to add volume where it has been depleted.

• Cosmetic Enhancers: Restore volume in the cheeks, jawline and lips. These treatments are designed to add volume and redefine facial contours, addressing areas affected by volume loss.
• Microneedling & RF Microneedling: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can enhance the skin’s natural plumpness, improving the overall appearance.
• Fractional Laser: This laser procedure encourages new collagen growth, which helps to restore volume in the skin. As collagen levels increase, areas that once appeared hollow can take on a more rejuvenated look.

Eye Area Concerns

The eye area is often one of the first to show signs of ageing, with crow’s feet, under-eye bags and drooping eyelids commonly occurring. Non-surgical treatments can target this delicate area to reduce the appearance of ageing.

• Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty: This procedure addresses sagging skin around the eyes. By tightening loose skin, it can reduce under-eye bags and provide a lift to drooping eyelids.
• Plasma Pen: The plasma pen is suitable for delicate areas like around the eyes. This treatment creates micro-injuries that promote collagen production, helping to improve skin firmness.
• Microneedling: Microneedling can also be used around the eye area to reduce fine lines. By encouraging natural collagen production, it helps to revitalise the skin.
