The battle against ageing is real, but it can be won with these helpful tips from Spire Aesthetics Addlestone!
Everyone experiences life uniquely, but there is one phase everyone must go through at some point – and it is not a pleasant one.
Ageing, or “the process of getting older,” is a process that is activated deep inside our genes, and we have yet to fully grasp it to avoid it, or better yet, reverse it.
However, at Spire Aesthetics Addlestone we know it is not just genetic factors that are to blame; there are several environmental determinants that can accelerate both visible and internal mechanisms associated with ageing.
HIFU Non-surgical Facelift Addlestone – Reverse the ageing process
HIFU non-surgical facelift is an innovative technology that helps to rejuvenate and improve the look of skin on the face, neck, and body.
It uses focused ultrasound energy to heat the deep layers of your skin without damaging the top layer.
This helps stimulate collagen production in the treated areas, which, in turn, helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
Additionally, HIFU non-surgical facelift can help reverse the ageing process by tightening sagging skin and providing more definition to facial contours.
The procedure also boosts natural collagen levels by stimulating new collagen formation beneath your skin.
This gradual change results in smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
INVEST IN HIGH-QUALITY SKIN-CARE PRODUCTS.
Speaking of skincare, make sure your whole routine is built on a strong foundation of high-quality products with high concentrations of active ingredients (remember the “high on the list” rule from the previous tip).
Of course, if you’re stumped, a consultation with a trained skin expert from Spire Aesthetics Addlestone can’t hurt!
MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH SLEEP.
Changes in sleep habits are a natural part of ageing. Still, contrary to popular belief, it is not acceptable to dramatically decrease the amount of sleep you get as you get older.
Suppose you experience warning signs of insomnia, such as difficulty falling asleep, tossing and turning, or waking up several times during the night for no apparent reason. In that case, it’s time to consult your doctor about your options.
And don’t worry – you won’t actually need antidepressants because lifestyle adjustments, including mindfulness exercises, can be really beneficial!
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
Finally, here’s a friendly reminder to keep hydrated! Unfortunately, as we age, our thirst response weakens, making it harder to drink enough water.
In other words, even though your body is thirsty, you can not feel thirsty. This can trigger anything from tired-looking, saggy skin to constipation and even kidney problems, not to mention slow healing, general tiredness, and dizziness.
If you have a medical condition that requires a specific fluid intake, the recommendation here is the same as at any other age – drink your 2-3 litres of water every day!
And that your body won’t alert you as much as it used to, so you’ll have to be proactive.
Bring a bottle of water with you at all times, have another one at your desk, and set reminders on your phone to drink a glass of water every hour (there are even apps for that).
And there you have it – a few helpful hints and tips to help you stay young for longer from Spire Aesthetics Addlestone! We hope you find them useful, and we wish you the best of luck on your path to health and happiness.
FAQs: How to Look Young Even After 40
Why does skin change after 40?
As we age, collagen and elastin production in the skin slows, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. External factors—like sun exposure, stress, poor sleep, and pollution—also accelerate visible ageing.
What daily skincare steps should I prioritise?
Sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum SPF (at least SPF 30) every day to protect against UV damage, which is a major driver of premature ageing.
Retinoids: Ingredients like retinol (vitamin A) help boost cell turnover, stimulate collagen, and smooth fine lines.
Antioxidants: Serums with vitamin C or E reduce free radical damage and support skin health.
Moisturiser: Use a rich, hydrating night cream (especially if your skin feels drier than before).
How important are lifestyle factors (sleep, hydration, diet)?
Very important.
Sleep: Deep sleep helps skin repair itself; poor sleep can raise cortisol and break down collagen.
Hydration: Drinking enough water helps maintain plump, healthy skin.
Diet: A skin-friendly diet rich in antioxidants (e.g., fruits, vegetables) can support skin integrity and slow ageing.
Exercise: Regular movement improves circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
What non-surgical aesthetic treatments can help at this age?
There are several effective, minimally invasive options:
HIFU: Skin tightening to boost natural collagen production.
Morpheus 8: Devices using radiofrequency (e.g., Exilis) heat deeper skin layers to boost collagen.
Will these treatments make me look “fake” or “overdone”?
Not necessarily. When performed by experienced practitioners, non-surgical treatments can deliver natural, refreshed results. The goal is often to restore youthful contours, not to “freeze” your face.
Are these treatments safe for people in their 40s?
Yes — when carried out by a qualified aesthetic practitioner. Non-surgical procedures like RF, microneedling, fillers, and anti-wrinkle injections are widely used and considered safe. Always have a consultation to assess your skin type, medical history, and suitability.
How soon will I see results that make me look younger at 40+?
Collagen-stimulating treatments (like microneedling or RF) may take several weeks to months to show results as collagen remodels. With good skincare and lifestyle habits, the results will compound over time.
Can I maintain a youthful look naturally, without any treatment?
Yes. Focusing on a solid skincare routine, daily sun protection, hydration, sleep, and stress management can go a long way. Many of the visible signs of ageing can be delayed or reduced with consistent habits alone.
