THE SCIENCE OF AGING SKIN
Why skin ages — and how we address it
Aging skin is the result of both intrinsic biology and external factors. Understanding both is key to choosing treatments that deliver real, lasting results rather than temporary fixes.
COLLAGEN LOSS
After age 25, collagen production declines by approximately 1% per year, leading to thinning skin, fine lines, and loss of structural support.
VOLUME LOSS
Fat pads in the face shift and diminish with age, creating hollowness under the eyes, flattening cheeks, and deepening nasolabial folds.
HORMONAL CHANGES
Perimenopause and menopause accelerate skin aging due to declining estrogen — affecting hydration, elasticity, and wound healing capacity.
MUSCLE OVERACTIVITY
Repeated facial expressions etch dynamic lines into the skin over time — particularly around the eyes, forehead, and between the brows.
UV DAMAGE
Photoaging accounts for up to 80% of visible facial aging — breaking down collagen and elastin and causing pigmentation and textural changes.
OXIDATIVE STRESS
Free radical damage from pollution, poor diet, and stress accelerates cellular aging and degrades the skin's ability to repair itself.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Anti-Aging FAQ
What's the best anti-aging treatment?
A combination approach works best — typically neuromodulators for dynamic lines, microneedling or PRP for skin quality, and naturopathic support for hormonal changes. We'll create a personalized plan at your consultation.
When should I start anti-aging treatments?
Prevention is far more effective than correction. Many patients begin in their late 20s or early 30s with collagen-stimulating treatments and sun protection guidance. It's never too early — or too late.
How is your approach different from a medspa that just does Botox?
We look at the whole picture — your hormones, lifestyle, nutrition, and skin biology — not just the wrinkle. Our physician-led, naturopathic foundation means every treatment plan addresses aging at every level.
Are anti-aging treatments covered by extended health benefits?
Acupuncture and naturopathic visits are typically covered by extended health plans in BC. Aesthetic treatments like fillers and neuromodulators are not insured but are competitively priced.
