Early Ageing
Fine lines, loss of firmness, dullness and softening definition, typically from the early thirties. In Chennai it appears earlier than many people expect, because cumulative sun exposure is the largest single driver of visible skin ageing and exposure here is year-round.
What actually causes it
- Sun exposure — the dominant factor by a wide margin. A very large share of visible skin ageing is photoageing rather than chronological ageing, which is worth knowing because it is the part you can control.
- Dehydration — many early fine lines are dehydration lines rather than structural ones. They soften considerably with proper hydration.
- Collagen decline — begins in the mid twenties and continues steadily
- Barrier damage, sleep, stress and diet — all contribute
What genuinely slows it
Daily SPF 50, which is the most effective anti-ageing intervention available and costs very little. Consistent hydration. Collagen stimulation through structured treatment. Barrier maintenance. Starting earlier rather than later, because prevention is considerably easier than correction.
How Aglow approaches it
We distinguish dehydration lines from structural lines at assessment, because they need different answers. Depending on findings, a protocol may combine skin boosters, microneedling, skin tightening and medi facials, alongside a protective routine.
We are a preventive practice. If you are in your late twenties or early thirties with good skin and you want to keep it, that is exactly the right time to come.
Frequently asked
When should I start anti-ageing treatment?
Prevention from the late twenties is considerably more effective than correction later. Daily sun protection should start long before that.
Are my lines permanent?
Dehydration lines soften substantially with hydration. Structural lines improve with collagen stimulation but do not disappear.
Does sunscreen really prevent ageing?
Yes. It is the single most effective anti-ageing step available, and most visible skin ageing is sun-related rather than age-related.
How many sessions will I need?
Depends on the treatment. Skin boosters typically three to four, microneedling six to eight, skin tightening one to two.
Will I look different?
The goal is skin that looks healthier and better rested, not a changed face. We do not offer treatments that alter facial shape.
