Skin Ageing Treatment
Personalised Skincare to Treat & Prevent Skin Ageing
Skin ageing is complex but treating it doesn’t have to be with the right anti-wrinkle cream. Whether you’re looking to soften wrinkles, reduce fine lines, fade sun spots or restore radiance to sun damaged skin, our anti-ageing cream or gel custom skincare treatment can help! We can create a personalised skin ageing treatment using science-backed active ingredients to boost and refresh your skin.
Understanding Skin Ageing
This is a natural process the main causes of which are due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic skin ageing is a fact of life and the main driver is 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 driven by environmental factors and lifestyle. Thes include sun exposure, smoking, poor diet and stress. All of these speed up skin ageing to cause lines and wrinkles, volume loss, skin sagging and pigmentation.
Why Personalisation Matters
Whilst skin ageing is a fact of life, there’s a lot you can do to minimise signs of ageing and prevent them. Our personalised approach to anti-ageing treatments centres on each patient’s individual needs. Your doctor will assess your skin and medical history in detail to understand the underlying causes and severity of your skin ageing. They will then design a treatment using the ingredients that will be most effective for your specific concerns and goals.
Personalised Prescription Strength Anti-Ageing Treatment
We provide personalised anti-ageing skincare (gel or cream) treatments through our online clinic. Your doctor will design your bespoke treatment based on your skin condition, medical history and goals. They will also take into account your wishes or preferences as much as possible when designing your skin ageing treatment. We offer two types of anti-ageing treatment protocols – AGN and AGN+. Both of these are bespoke skin ageing treatment programs but have some differences:
- AGN: This is our standard treatment which targets mild to moderate skin ageing signs. It is also the treatment we use for maintenance and prevention once your skin clears up. AGN comes as a single product which you use at night as directed by your doctor.
- AGN+: This is our advanced anti-ageing treatment for severe lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. AGN+ is for use for a maximum of 6 months. Afterwards you would continue with AGN for maintenance and general skin improvement. This treatment contains two products (a morning and night treatment).
Ingredients in Our Anti-Ageing Skin Treatments
We create a completely personalised skin ageing treatment for each of our patients. Our doctors select ingredients that will best serve your unique skin concerns, goals and wishes. This is a dynamic treatment so components of your anti-ageing cream or gel may change at the end of each 3 month treatment. This is based on how your skin responds. These are some of the active and prescription ingredients we may use in your topical treatment for skin ageing treatment:
- Tretinoin: this is a prescription only medication that we may use (either alone or with other actives) in your cream or gel skin ageing treatment. It works by increasing skin cell turnover, which helps treat lines and wrinkles, smooth texture and fade hyperpigmentation. Tretinoin is up to 20x more powerful than retinol which is why it requires use under careful monitoring in suitable patients.
- Azelaic Acid: has both anti-inflammatory and keratolytic properties to help soften and brighten skin.
- Niacinamide: reduces inflammation, shrinks pores, evens out skin tone and boosts the skin barrier.
- Hydrocortisone: is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness and soothes irritated skin.
- Arbutin: this is a natural skin-brightening agent that suppresses excess melanin production especially in lighter skin tones.
- Hydroquinone: also inhibits melanin production. We may use this prescription only medicine for limited periods in some of our treatments for suitable patients with severe hyperpigmentation.
Please note that prescription only medications are only used if we deem them safe, appropriate and acceptable for the patient.
Regain Confidence with Personalised Anti Wrinkle Cream & Gel Treatments
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to anti-ageing skincare because everyone’s skin is unique and responds differently. We also believe that you should be in full control of your skincare journey. This is why we don’t provide gimmicky subscriptions or generic anti-ageing cream treatments. We tailor your bespoke anti-wrinkle cream or gel treatment according to your individual needs which you discuss with your doctor. This ensures that we target your specific skin concerns whether it be hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, texture, pores, sagging or all of the above. We use active and prescription ingredients (where appropriate) for our skin ageing treatments to help give smoother, brighter and healthier skin. Whether you require our once daily AGN or twice-daily AGN+, your doctor will ensure that your treatment is always centred on your skin condition, health, goals and wishes.

Frequently asked questions
Prolonged sun exposure without proper protection leads to what’s known as photoaging. This can present as freckles, age spots, spider veins, rough and leathery skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and in more severe cases, skin cancer. Sun damaged skin can be addressed through a combination of professional treatments and high-quality skincare products.
Remember, the key to slowing down skin ageing is prevention. Regular use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and integrating potent anti-ageing ingredients into your skincare routine can go a long way in preserving your skin’s youthfulness and vitality.
