Ageing is not a single event. It is a slow, layered change across skin, fat, muscle and bone, and each layer asks for a different kind of attention.
This guide is written for readers who would rather understand the biology than be sold a result. It is educational, cautious where it should be, and free of brand names.
- 01The Science of Facial Ageing
- 02Collagen Decline, in Plain Terms
- 03Structural Ageing and the Architecture of the Face
- 04Preventative Aesthetics
