There are a number of genetic and environmental factors which contribute to the normal aging process. These factors have a substantial impact on the physical appearance of our face and skin. Facial deterioration manifests in the formation of fine lines, drooping, and wrinkles. Our personal genetics and epi-genetics (the way are genes are expressed), hormone levels, pollutants in the air and food, gravity and even sleep posture will all contribute to that, “aged” look as we get older. These factors are often not in our direct control, but we should definitely attempt to limit those factors which are in our control including stress, sun exposure, vitamin and anti-oxidant deficient diets, lack of sustained exercise as well as over consumption of alcohol and other drug based products. Finally, large fluctuations in weight can cause an aged appearance due to skin laxity and sagging once the weight is lost. However if you want to proceed with a treatment, our facelift in Toronto without surgery is one of our specialities.
