Skin Aging: When Does It Start, and How Should You Manage It?

Hello.

I’m Ogana, a dermatologist with 16 years of experience.

Today, I’d like to have a very practical conversation about ‘skin aging.’

When does skin aging begin?

Many people think it starts in their 40s,

but in fact, it begins in the late 20s.

Hormones, growth factors, collagen, and everything else in our bodies

begin to gradually decline from around age 27.

What becomes visible is around the 30s.

One day, when you look in the mirror,

you may suddenly think,

Why do I look so tired? Why does my face seem to have aged so suddenly?

That is the moment when you really start to feel the beginning of skin aging.

In particular, ages 34, 60, and 78

were identified in a Stanford study as points when skin-aging protein levels

drop sharply.

But some people

still look like they’re in their 40s even in their 60s.

Why is that?

The answer is genetics.

Skin is also something you are born with.

But most of us didn’t win the genetic lottery,

so we have to rely on ‘care’ to make the difference.

The 3 steps I think are essential for preventing skin aging

are very simple.

1. Sun protection Sunlight breaks down collagen. (Sunscreen is not optional; it is one of the most basic essentials)

2. Moisturizing When skin becomes dry, wrinkles appear first. Moisturizing is the easiest way to protect the skin barrier.

3. Mental health When you’re stressed, your face reacts first. A clear mind helps keep the skin clear too.

And there is one more reliable method.

That is collagen-stimulating procedures.

Like Thermage, Ulthera, and collagen injections,

they stimulate fibroblasts and induce collagen production.

In fact, I often recommend

collagen-inducing injections + combination lifting procedures.

The most realistic and reliable way

to turn back time.

That may be dermatological procedures.

Thank you for reading this long post!
