Why energy based treatments work beer in over 45's - Dr frances Pitsilis, Skinfresh

Women Notice that after age 45, the usual skincare products no longer deliver the same results. Skin may appear thinner, less firm and slower to recover. This is not simply ageing on the surface – it reflects deeper biological changes. At this stage of life, energy based treatments often become far more effective than topical treatments or skin creams alone because they work where aging truly begins; within the skins structure.

 
The midlife shift in Skin biology
 
The mid 40s onwards, collagen production declines more rapidly, particularly during peri menopause and menopause as oestrogen levels fall. Skin loses elasticity, hydration, and regenerative capacity. Circulation also slows, contributing to dullness and uneven pigmentation.
 
Creams mainly act on the surface. Energy based treatments however deliver controlled heat or light energy into deeper layers of the skin, stimulating fibroblasts – these are the cells responsible responsible for collagen and elastin production. This directly targets the root cause of visible aging.
 
How energy stimulates natural regeneration
 
Treatment such as Titan, Laser Genesis, IPL and Exion work by gently heating specific layers of the skin without damaging the surface. This thermal stimulation signals the body to repair and rebuild
 

-Titan® uses infrared energy to tighten and thicken the skin by encouraging collagen contraction and renewal


-Laser Genesis® improves skin quality by stimulating collagen while reducing redness and refining pores


-IPL (intense pulse light) targets pigmentation, sun damage and vascular changes common after midlife


-Exion® combines radio frequency and advanced technology to enhance collagen, elasticity and hydration.

 

Rather than forcing a change, these treatments activate the skin's own regenerative response.
 
Why results improve after age 45
 
Mature skin often responds beautifully to energy based treatments. Because collagen reserves are lower, stimulation produces visible improvement in texture, firmness and luminosity. The goal is not to alter facial identity, but to restore healthier skin behaviour.
The results are smoother texture, improved glow and gradual tightening that looks natural and refined.
