A Note From Dr Aleks

Skin is my lifelong passion. From my early medical training in Germany, where I studied under leading dermatologists, to my specialised practice here in Perth, I've dedicated my career to understanding the complexities of skin health and ageing.

These diverse experiences have shaped my holistic approach to skin. I believe that truly understanding the skin – how it functions, how it changes and how it responds to various influences – is essential for providing effective care. My priority is maintaining your skin health for the long term using evidence-based treatments, rather than offering quick fixes or empty promises.

Understanding Ageing Skin

The ageing process affects our skin on multiple levels, from the surface through to the deeper supporting structures. The visible changes we see are the result of transformations happening within each layer of our skin, including:

Surface Layer (Epidermis)

  • Slowed cell turnover rate
  • Variations in melanin production
  • Decrease in moisture retention
  • Reduced skin barrier function

Middle Layer (Dermis)

  • Restructuring of collagen and elastin networks
  • Decreased production of new collagen and elastin
  • Decreased levels of hyaluronic acid
  • Modifications in blood flow patterns

Deep Layer (Hypodermis)

  • Shifts in fat distribution
  • Changes in supporting tissues
  • Loss of volume overall

While facial ageing receives the most attention, similar changes occur in other exposed areas like our hands, neck and chest. These areas can show signs of ageing prominently as they are subject to significant sun exposure and are often overlooked in daily skincare routines.
