Skin Ageing Treatments

At City Skin Clinic, we designed our virtual clinic skincare service to be your hub for cutting edge anti-ageing treatments designed. Our advanced skincare solutions focus on treating the key signs of skin ageing. We focus on wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, loss of elasticity, melasma, age spots, and skin pigmentation.

Skin ageing is complex but treating it doesn’t have to be. Most people find it difficult to maintain skin elasticity and combat the appearance of wrinkles on the face. Whether you’re looking to soften forehead wrinkles, reduce frown lines, or restore radiance to sun damaged skin, we can help! We offer a range of proven anti-ageing prescription treatments to boost and refresh your skin.

Understanding Skin Ageing

Skin ageing is a natural process that is caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic skin ageing is a fact of life and is controlled by our genetic makeup. It results in a gradual loss of skin elasticity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Extrinsic ageing, on the other hand, is affected by environmental factors and lifestyle habits such as sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, and stress. All of these speed up skin ageing and add to issues like sun damage, melasma, age spots, and skin pigmentation.

Optimal skincare for ageing skin needs products that not only tackle current signs of ageing but also help to prevent future damage. These include retinoids (like Tretinoin) for their collagen boosting and cell turnover properties, antioxidants (like Vitamin C) to fight off free radicals and environmental damage, and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) for their exfoliating abilities that improve skin texture and tone.

Anti-Ageing Prescription Skincare

We proudly offer Obagi skincare, a leader in the skincare industry, known for its transformative effects on ageing skin. Obagi’s prescription products go deeper beneath the skin surface to target and treat problems at the cell level.

Tretinoin

Obagi Tretinoin cream (or gel) is the most critical component in any anti-wrinkle and photo-ageing treatment plan. Tretinoin is a powerful prescription retinoid that is 20x more powerful than retinol. It increases skin cell turnover, stimulates collagen production and repairs sun damage on the face. This powerful anti-wrinkle cream is normally used alone to treat skin ageing and mild sun spots and hyperpigmentation. You can boost its effects with Vitamin C and exfoliating acids to brighten the skin even more.

Hydroquinone

If you are suffering from moderate to severe sun damage induced hyperpigmentation, then you may want to consider using hydroquinone alongside Tretinoin for a limited period. This will augment the dark spot fading effects of Tretinoin for a highly effective anti-ageing skincare routine. This combination will combat the signs of past sun damage and you can then maintain the results with just Tretinoin alone. We offer hydroquinone as separate products or as part of the Obagi skin systems:

Obagi hydroquinone (Clear or Blender)

These stand alone products contain 4% hydroquinone but work on slightly different layers of the skin. You can use Clear both day and night to inhibit melanin production. Obagi Blender is only used at night and is mixed with Tretinoin. Your doctor will advise which of these products is best for you and if you have severe hyperpigmentation then you might need both.

Nu-Derm System

This is an all-in-one solution for skin ageing and is often referred to as “the skin transformation system”. The Nu-Derm system fades age spots and hyperpigmentation on the face. It brighten as well as even out the skin tone. Nu-Derm also resurfaces the skin and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Better still, when used in conjunction with Obagi Tretinoin cream, it’s arguably the most effective topical treatment for wrinkles on the face as well as other signs of photo-damage and skin ageing. This kit is best for those with moderate to severe signs of skin ageing age spots and melasma.

Obagi-C System

Infused with vitamin C, the Obagi-C system brightens, clears up, and smooths your skin. Ideal for those struggling with mild to moderate age spots and pigmentation. This system also contains 4% hydroquinone and works really well with Tretinoin.

Add-On Treatments

To enhance your anti-ageing results, we offer a range of add-on products, perfect for further treating specific skin concerns. Our most popular add-ons include:
