Anti Aging
Visible signs of ageing mainly affect the skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue. The skin becomes thinner with increasing age and cell renewal, in particular the number of keratinocytes, decreases. The number of cells and the blood supply to the dermis decrease. The collagen fibers run more unevenly, are partially present in fragments and are reduced in number. The number of skin cells and the performance of the skin cells also decrease (fibroblasts, Langerhans cells, monocytes and macrophages).
Aged fatty tissue
Aged fatty tissue releases messenger substances that impair the renewal of fatty tissue cells. The fat cells become smaller and less sensitive to certain hormones (insulin). The fat cells under the skin in particular decrease, while the fat cells in the abdominal cavity increase. As we age, our genetic material (telomeres) changes and the number of stem cells decreases. Environmental changes, medication, diet and exercise influence the body’s ageing processes. Aesthetic medicine helps to reduce the traces of time.
