Some people call it photo-ageing because sun is one of the biggest contributor towards ageing, which also complicates matters because sun itself brings its set of problems example pigmentation. Therefore, a face that shows signs of ageing - especially in a tropical country like Singapore - would often times also show signs of sun damage : pigmentation, sun spots, Melasma. (Click to pigmentation for more details). However in this section we will focus on the topic of ageing due to the process of laxity and gravitational downward pull of our facial structures. What are the common clinical presentations of signs of ageing? Droopy eyelids Eye bags Prominent “laugh lines’ (we call them Nasolabial folds or NLF) Prominent Marionette lines (some people call it adorably “whiskers”) - these lines are next to your lower lips Prominent Jowls - these are the lower areas of your cheeks, and they contribute to an “oval” face because the contour of the jaw is lost when soft tissues in this region moves downwards “Double chin” or Under chin Neck lines and laxity (skin looseness) What is a good method to treat facial ageing? There are a large variety of treatment options and it can all seem very confusing and overwhelming. But I like to use this philosophy when I chat with my patients. Imagine there is a crack in the wall (= ageing so your skin starts to show wrinkles, sagging etc) What would you prefer to do? There are probably 2 main options: Plaster over the cracks with something so that it immediately disappears Work on repairing the cracks Option 1: you will get instant gratification. Lines disappear and you immediate look younger. However, the crack remains and when the plaster “melts” in future, the crack will reappear (because it didn’t disappear in the first place). Worse still if the causes of the crack is not addressed, the crack may even appear larger!
