TYPES OF AGING + DNA REPAIR

There are different ways in which we age.  Some we have control over, and some we don’t. Two most common types of aging (that we all experience) are Intrinisic and Extrinsic Aging. Our natural aging determined by nature and genetics is called Intrinsic. Then there is aging that is determined by our lifestyle and environmental factors which is the Extrinsic. You may think that Intrinsic Aging would be just as responsible as the Extrinsic- but surprisingly, it only accounts for 10%! 90% of our physical aging is due to our lifestyle and environmental factors.

Intrinsic Causes:

• Genetics

• Nature

• Damaged DNA

• Natural Collagen Loss

• Diminished Cell Tower

• Inadequate Skin Renewal

Extrinsic Causes:

• Alcohol/Smoking

• Poor Diet

• Sun Exposure

• Environmental Toxins

• Blue Light

• Dehydration

• Stress

• Poor Upkeep

There are many great things for your skin to fight against both Intrinsic and Extrinsic Aging. 

 1) THE OBVIOUS: Better Nutrition, Hydration & Lifestyle. What we put in our body matters. It affects our energy, the way we move & the way we look.

 2) Skin Resurfacing Once a Quarter,  whether it be a Microneedle, Pixel RF or Chemical Peel…you want to get that healthy cellular turnover and stimulate that collagen.

 3) ABSOLUTE MUST!  Nourishing & protecting your skin at HOME! At home care is super important.  You can do all the treatments you want, but if you don’t take care at home, you’re just putting a “Band-Aid” on the issue.  A quality, Medical Grade Skincare is where you should be.
