Glycation occurs when excess sugar molecules in the bloodstream bind to collagen and elastin fibres through a process that produces Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). This causes the normally flexible protein fibres to become stiff, brittle and cross-linked.
The result is a loss of elasticity, increased wrinkle formation and a dull, yellowed skin tone. High-sugar diets, chronic stress, poor sleep and UV exposure all accelerate glycation. It is also a natural part of the ageing process that can be significantly slowed with the right intervention.
Glycation is driven by the interaction between sugar molecules and structural proteins in the skin. It is a natural by-product of metabolism but is dramatically accelerated by dietary sugar, UV exposure, stress, poor sleep and smoking.
Refined carbohydrates and sugar elevate blood glucose levels, increasing the rate of glycation in skin proteins
UV radiation accelerates glycation reactions and generates free radicals that damage collagen simultaneously
Stress hormones promote inflammatory pathways that interact with and worsen glycation damage over time
Skin regeneration and repair occur during sleep; chronic deprivation compounds glycation damage significantly
There is no single solution for every skin. Your Skin Specialist builds a bespoke SDL Pathway using the most effective combination of therapies for your specific presentation.
At Sydney Dermal Lounge, we follow a structured four step process across all in-clinic services. Through our four-phase skin methodology, we aim for our processes to be made inclusive of all kinds of skin concerns and goals. Whether it’s a 12-month melasma pigment program, acne correction pathway, rosacea program, or other pathway to skin rejuvenation, we actively provide this methodology.
