Stages and Layers of Aging

Facial aging is a multifaceted process involving several structures and systems of the face.

Here's a breakdown of how it happens and the stages it goes through: Bone Structure:

• Periosteum Deterioration: The first structure to experience aging is the periosteum, a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones.

• Changes in Microelements: Over time, the ratio of microelements in bones changes, affecting their density and strength.

• Blurring Contours: These changes lead to the gradual blurring of facial contours as the bone structure weakens and recedes.

1. Blood Vessels and Nervous System:

• Reduced Blood Flow: Aging affects blood circulation, leading to decreased nutrient and oxygen supply to the facial tissues.

• Nerve Function Decline: The nervous system's efficiency decreases, affecting muscle tone and responsiveness.

1. Musculo-Ligamentous Apparatus:

• Shift in Attachment Points: The attachment points of muscles and ligaments to the bone structures shift downward due to gravity and bone changes.

• Loss of Support: This shift results in sagging and loss of support for the facial skin and tissues.

1. Subcutaneous Fat:

• Redistribution: The subcutaneous fat layers redistribute, leading to volume loss in some areas and accumulation in others.

• Hollows and Pockets: This redistribution creates hollows (e.g., under the eyes) and pockets of fat (e.g., jowls) that alter facial contours.

1. Skin:

• Elasticity Loss: The skin loses its elasticity and firmness due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers.

• Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Decreased skin cell turnover and moisture retention lead to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

• Texture Changes: The skin may become rougher, thinner, and more prone to damage and pigmentation issues.
  

Non-Surgical Facelift at Natural Rejuvenation YEG

At Natural Rejuvenation YEG, non-surgical facelift procedures target the aging process in the same sequence as the natural stages:

1. Bone Structure: Techniques may focus on stimulating the periosteum and supporting bone density.

2. Blood Vessels and Nervous System: Treatments can enhance blood circulation and nerve function to improve overall skin health.

3. Musculo-Ligamentous Apparatus: Methods to reposition and strengthen the musculo-ligamentous structures help lift and support facial tissues.

4. Subcutaneous Fat: Procedures might involve the strategic redistribution or augmentation of subcutaneous fat for a more youthful appearance.

5. Skin: Advanced skin treatments can restore elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone.

By addressing each layer and system in the order they experience aging, non-surgical facelifts aim to achieve a comprehensive and natural rejuvenation effect. #facialaging #layersofaging #stagesofaging #yegbeauty #non-surgicalfacelift #yegfacelift #edmontonbeauty #naturalrejuveantionyeg #edmontonliving
