Why Skin Ages

Are you starting to see fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness?
Maybe even dryness, uneven texture, laxity, or age spots? Even though everyone’s skin is different, we all begin to see changes at some point. That’s why it’s never too soon to learn about your skin and how you can delay and address the signs of damage and aging.

What’s happening in the skin?

Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are the essential building blocks of skin. By providing all 3 of these critical elements, NEOCUTIS simplifies your regimen with a complete approach to support your skin.

 

Collagen

framework that keeps skin plump
and youthful to prevent wrinkles

 

Elastin

promotes skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience to help prevent sagging

 

Hyaluronic acid (HA)

holds moisture to keep skin plump,
soft, and hydrated

The combination of aging, genetics, and lifestyle cause the protein building blocks of skin to break down

When do these changes happen?

The lines on this chart represent when and how quickly collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid typically break down. Breaks in the solid line show when the protein structure is starting to break down. Depletion of collagen and hyaluronic acid happens before elastin loss. Note that age should be used only as as a guideline, since lifestyle and genetics are important contributing factors in rate of protein break down.
