Skin ageing and skin longevity

Skin ageing from a dermatological perspective

Skin ageing is a natural biological process that affects everyone differently. With increasing age, the skin structure changes, elasticity decreases and the skin's ability to regenerate decreases. The production of collagen and elastin decreases, cell division slows down, the skin barrier becomes more sensitive and pigmentation changes can occur.

In addition to genetic factors, UV exposure, hormonal changes, environmental factors and lifestyle in particular influence the speed of these processes.

In our practice, we do not view skin ageing in isolation as an aesthetic issue, but as part of long-term skin health.

Meaning of Skin Longevity

Skin Longevity stands for a preventive medical approach that aims to maintain the structural and integrity and functionality of the skin in the long term.

In contrast to purely symptom-orientated anti-ageing treatments, the focus here is on the sustainable support of biological processes:

  • Promoting the formation of new collagen
  • Maintaining skin structure and elasticity
  • Protection against oxidative stress and environmental pollution
  • Stabilisation of the skin barrier
  • Reduction of chronic micro-inflammation


The aim is healthy, resilient skin with a natural radiance.

Assessment of skin quality

Each treatment begins with a differentiated dermatological assessment. This involves analysing skin type, pigment changes, elasticity, possible UV damage and structural changes.

A specialist medical examination is always carried out before any instrumental or injectable procedures to rule out any medical contraindications. This ensures safety and a customised treatment strategy. You can also find information on preventive skin examinations on our page on skin cancer screening & birthmark check.

Therapeutic options

The procedures are selected individually and according to the indication. Different procedures can be combined depending on the skin findings and objectives:

Structure and texture improvement

  • Laser therapies to optimise skin texture, pigmentation and skin structure
  • Laser therapies to stimulate collagen production
  • Radio frequency and other stimulating procedures

Biostimulative approaches

Subtle volume and wrinkle correction


The focus is on a harmonious, natural result while preserving individual facial features.

Influence of prevention and lifestyle

Long-term skin health is the result of a combination of medical care and lifestyle factors. These include

  • UV protection adapted to skin type and activity profile
  • Individually tailored dermatological skin care
  • Antioxidant-supporting nutrition
  • Sufficient sleep and stress reduction


A holistic approach can help to keep the skin stable and resilient over the years.

Target group for skin longevity concept

A preventative approach can be useful for

  • Patients with first signs of structural skin changes
  • People with increased UV exposure
  • People who want to combine aesthetic measures with medical safety
  • Patients who value long-term skin quality instead of short-term effects
