In an age of longer lives, is your skin aging healthily too?
Skin Health Is the Beginning of Healthy Aging
The era of the 100-year life.
What matters as much as living long is aging healthily (Healthy Aging). And it begins with skin health the organ that protects our body every single day.
Lets take a look at the skin changes and conditions that appear in later life, and how to keep your skin healthy.
Why Does Skin Age?
Young, healthy skin actively produces new skin cells, while abundant collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid keep it firm and resilient.
With age, however, the skin naturally begins to change. Cell renewal gradually slows, collagen and elastin decrease, and the skins moisture content declines. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity, and wrinkles and pigmentation appear more easily.
The skins protective barrier function also weakens, making it more sensitive to external irritation and more prone to various skin conditions.
Healthy skin is maintained by
Sufficient hydration
A strong skin barrier
Abundant collagen
Rapid skin renewal
Natural Aging vs. Preventable Aging
Skin aging can be broadly divided into intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging.
Intrinsic Aging
A natural change that occurs in everyone as they age. Its hallmark features are a slower rate of skin renewal and reduced collagen production.
Extrinsic Aging
Caused by external environmental factors such as ultraviolet (UV) exposure, smoking, air pollution, and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
Surprisingly, much of the skin aging we see with our own eyes is influenced by these external factors. In other words, healthy lifestyle habits alone can slow down skin aging.
Common Skin Conditions in Later Life
Condition 01
① Age Spots (Seborrheic Keratosis)
Pigmented Lesion Face Hands Mostly Benign
Key features
Brown or black in color
Common on the face and backs of the hands
Mostly benign
However! A lesion that looks like an ordinary age spot may actually be skin cancer. Any lesion that is new or changing in shape should be examined by a dermatologist.
Condition 02
② Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
Viral Nerve Pain More Common Over 60
Check for these signs
Stabbing, piercing pain
Blisters on the skin
Pain that worsens at night
Increased incidence after age 60
Doctors TIP Vaccination can help lower the risk of developing shingles.
Condition 03
③ Flat Warts (Verruca Plana)
HPV Multiple Lesions Early Treatment
Flat warts are a skin condition caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Multiple small, flat lesions appear on the skin, and in the early stages they may look like simple blemishes.
Features Multiple small, flat lesions develop on the skin. The earlier they are treated, the smaller the treatment area and the lower the risk of scarring.
In an Era of Living Long and Living Well,
Let Your Skin Age Healthily, Too
Aging is a natural process. But skin health can absolutely be protected through healthy lifestyle habits, consistent care, and regular skin checkups. Paying attention to even small changes in your skin is the first step toward healthy aging.
Board-certified dermatologists in Gangnam provide diagnosis and treatment of the various skin conditions that commonly occur in later life, as well as personalized care tailored to each individuals skin condition.
In this era of living long and living well, we hope your skin ages healthily along with you.
If you haven’t gained weight but your jawline looks less defined, it could be a sign of decreased skin elasticity.
When you look in the mirror, you may notice that your facial contours appear less defined than before, or your jawline looks blurred in photos. Many people assume weight gain is the cause, but in reality, decreased skin elasticity and sagging of deep soft tissues are often the true reasons.
Especially after your 30s and 40s, as collagen in the skin decreases and the elasticity of the tissues supporting the face declines, marionette lines and jawline sagging may gradually appear. This is why simple surface-level skincare alone is often not enough to achieve improvement.
Recently, non-surgical anti-aging treatments that target different skin layers without incision surgery have been gaining attention.
For example, lifting treatments using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can help lift sagging tissues by creating thermal coagulation points in the deep layers of the skin. On the other hand, Radiofrequency (RF) treatments can help improve skin elasticity and tightening by stimulating collagen regeneration in the dermal layer.
When combined with skin booster treatments, patients can expect both skin regeneration and moisture improvement, which can also help enhance overall skin texture and condition.
Treatment 01
Ultrasound Lifting HIFU SMAS Layer
For cases where skin sagging is prominent or the jawline appears undefined, ultrasound lifting treatments such as 10Triple may be helpful.
10Triple is a lifting treatment that delivers High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) deep into the SMAS layer of the skin to create thermal coagulation points, helping to lift sagging skin tissues.
It is particularly suitable for those concerned about a blurred facial contour, double chin, or marionette lines, and has been attracting interest from patients who desire natural lifting results without surgery.
Treatment 02
RF Firming RF Collagen Regeneration
For those concerned about fine wrinkles or declining skin texture due to thinning skin and loss of elasticity, radiofrequency (RF)-based treatments such as 10Therma may be helpful.
10Therma delivers radiofrequency energy to the dermal layer of the skin to promote collagen production, helping to improve elasticity from within the skin and create a tighter appearance.
It is known to be suitable for those who feel their skin has become loose and saggy overall, or who wish to improve pores, fine wrinkles, and elasticity all at once.
Treatment 03
Skin Booster PN Component Skin Regeneration
For those whose skin appears dry and rough, or who need skin regeneration and texture improvement after laser treatments, RegevanPN Skin Booster may be used as a complementary treatment.
RegevanPN Skin Booster is a treatment that directly injects PN component-based skin booster into the skin to improve the skin regeneration environment, helping to restore skin moisture and overall skin condition.
It is particularly utilized for patients with sensitive, easily dehydrated skin, or those who seek improvement not only in elasticity but also in overall skin health and radiance.
Recently, recognizing that skin aging does not originate from just one layer, combined anti-aging treatments that address lifting, firming, and skin regeneration together have been gaining attention. Deep layer sagging is addressed with ultrasound lifting, dermal elasticity with radiofrequency treatments, and skin surface condition with skin boosters.
Cheongdam Oracle Dermatology offers a combined anti-aging program that integrates 10Triple, 10Therma, and RegevanPN Skin Booster. It is characterized by a step-by-step approach from the deepest skin layers to the surface, simultaneously addressing lifting, firming, and skin regeneration.
In particular, as it is a non-surgical approach with relatively minimal recovery time, it has been attracting interest from office workers and medical tourism patients who prioritize a quick return to daily life.
※ The appropriate treatment method may vary depending on individual skin condition and degree of sagging, so it is important to establish a personalized treatment plan after thorough consultation.
