The Science Behind Anti-Ageing Facials and Why They Work

Before understanding why anti-ageing medifacials work, we need to know why skin ages.

Natural Collagen and Elastin Decline

Collagen and elastin are the proteins that keep skin plump and firm. From our mid-20s, collagen levels drop gradually, by about 1% each year leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.

Effects of Environmental Damage

UV rays, pollution, and toxins create free radicals, which damage skin cells and speed up ageing. This oxidative stress is a major cause of dull, uneven skin, wrinkles and skin sagging.

Anti-ageing medifacials use specific mechanisms to slow or reverse visible ageing signs.

Cellular Renewal and Turnover

Techniques like microdermabrasion and chemical exfoliation remove dead skin cells, encouraging formation of new, healthy skin cells.

Collagen Stimulation and Skin Firmness

Treatments such as LED light therapy, microneedling radiofrequency activate fibroblasts - the cells responsible for producing collagen and helping the skin look firmer.

Deep Hydration and Barrier Repair

Hydrating masks and serums with hyaluronic acid lock in moisture, while ceramides strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

Different facial types target different ageing concerns.

Hydrafacial

At the DermaHouse, we use original Hydrafacial that exfoliates skin by removing tanning, dead skin cells, infusion of medical grade serums and hydrating solutions, making skin healthy, glowing and radiant.

iS Clinical Fire & Ice Medifacial

This medifacial increases your blood circulation, exfoliates and resurfaces your skin. It soothes, cleanse and keep your skin hydrated, giving you a healthier glowy and shiny skin.

Vampire Facial - PRP

This advanced medifacial uses your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate collagen, repair skin, and boost natural healing, reducing fine lines and scars for firmer, youthful-looking skin.

LED Light Therapy Facials

Red light stimulates collagen production, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, making the skin healthier overall.

Oxygen Infusion Facials

Delivers oxygen and nutrient-rich serums deep into the skin, enhancing cell regeneration and glow.

Chemical Exfoliation Facials

Uses mild acids like glycolic or lactic acid to dissolve dead skin cells and brighten skin tone.

Microdermabrasion Facials

Uses fine crystals or a diamond-tip wand to exfoliate and stimulate circulation, improving skin texture.

The right ingredients amplify results of the treatment.

Retinoids, Peptides, and Antioxidants

• Retinoids accelerate cell turnover.
• Peptides signal the skin to produce more collagen.
• Antioxidants like glutathione neutralize free radicals.

Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C

Hyaluronic acid boosts hydration, while vitamin C brightens and strengthens skin against UV damage.

Anti-ageing medifacials aren’t just about looking younger, regular medifacials improve skin function, reduce stress through therapeutic massage, and enhance overall confidence by improving self-image.

Q1: How often should I get an anti-ageing facial?

Every 4-6 weeks for best results.

Q2: Are anti-ageing facials painful?

Most are comfortable, though mild tingling may occur with exfoliating treatments.

Q3: Can they replace other anti-ageing treatments?

They work well alone but are even more effective when combined with other treatments like Micro needling, Radio frequency, Fillers and Botox.

Q4: Do they work for sensitive skin?

Yes, custom facials can be adapted for sensitive skin types.

Q5: When will I see results?

Many notice a glow immediately, but collagen-stimulating effects may take a few weeks.

Q6: Are anti-ageing facials suitable for men?

Absolutely—they work for all genders.

Anti-ageing facials work because they blend science, technology, and Dermatologist led skincare expertise. By stimulating collagen, boosting hydration, and renewing skin cells, they don’t just make you look younger—they improve skin health at its core.
