The Truth About Aging: Collagen, Skin, and Facial Changes After 40

The Truth About Aging: Collagen, Skin, and Facial Changes After 40

In this insightful episode, we dive deep into the changes that affect our skin and facial structure as we age, especially around the perimenopause and menopause. You'll hear from leading dermatologists and hormone specialists about the factors causing facial aging, including bone loss, collagen depletion, and hyaluronic acid reduction. We explore how these changes can lead to volume loss in the mid-face and jawline, causing a more pronounced aging appearance. The episode also offers expert advice on navigating these changes with both skincare routines and aesthetic treatments, from dermal fillers to more natural approaches like Profhilo.


What You Can Expect:

  • How aging affects facial structure, including bone, muscle, and skin changes.
  • The role of hormonal changes, especially estrogen loss, in accelerating skin aging.
  • The impact of collagen depletion and fat loss on facial appearance.
  • Sun damage and its long-term effects on the skin.
  • Skincare tips for maintaining hydration and elasticity as you age.
  • Aesthetic treatments like dermal fillers and Profhilo to restore facial volume.


Whether you're dealing with skin thinning, dryness, or just looking to regain that youthful glow, this episode will help you feel empowered and informed in your aging journey.
