How Ageing Actually Starts in Your Cells and What You Can Do About It

Ageing doesn’t just appear on the surface — it begins deep within your skin’s cells. Every wrinkle, fine line, or loss of glow is linked to microscopic cellular changes. At Cosmeticstar Leeds, we specialise in treatments that target these root causes, restoring your skin’s natural vitality from within.

 

The Science Behind Cellular Ageing

Your skin cells are powered by mitochondria — tiny engines that drive repair, renewal, and collagen production. Over time, factors like stress, UV damage, and pollution cause these cells to slow down. Collagen fibres weaken, elastin breaks down, and skin starts losing firmness.

To truly fight ageing, treatments must address these internal changes — not just the surface.

 

What You Can Do About Cellular Ageing

1️⃣ Regenerative Aesthetic Treatments

Advanced treatments like PRP facials, GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) Therapy, microneedling, and exosome therapy trigger your body’s natural healing process, helping restore lost elasticity and brightness. These work by improving cellular metabolism and collagen production, reversing visible ageing at its root.

2️⃣ Lifestyle & Nutrition

Antioxidant-rich foods, hydration, and proper sleep protect your cells from oxidative stress. When paired with medical-grade skincare, they significantly slow down skin ageing.

3️⃣ Preventive Collagen Banking

In your 20s and 30s, your skin’s collagen levels are at their peak. Banking collagen early — through treatments like PRP and exosome facials — helps preserve firmness and prevents premature ageing before it starts.

 

 

Modern Regenerative Treatments That Reverse Cellular Ageing

1. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

PRP therapy uses your own blood plasma, rich in platelets and growth factors, to stimulate collagen and repair tissue damage. When applied to the face, it boosts elasticity, softens wrinkles, and improves skin tone. PRP works at a cellular level, encouraging the skin to regenerate naturally.

2. Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are tiny bio-signalling particles that help skin cells communicate and repair. They speed up recovery, enhance hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier. Exosomes work synergistically with PRP and microneedling to deliver faster, deeper rejuvenation.

3. GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) Therapy

GFC treatment is an advanced form of PRP where your own growth factors are concentrated and purified for maximum effectiveness. It boosts fibroblast activity, collagen production, and skin renewal. GFC therapy provides quicker, longer-lasting results — perfect for dull or ageing skin.

4. Microneedling 

Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production. When combined with PRP, exosomes, or GFC, it enhances absorption and amplifies the rejuvenating effect — resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
