A Holistic Approach to Anti-Ageing

At Avena Clinic, we go beyond aesthetic treatments, taking a comprehensive, inside-out approach to ageing. Our philosophy combines advanced skincare, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle optimisation to help you achieve radiant, youthful skin and long-term wellness.

More Than Just Aesthetics: Addressing the Root Cause of Ageing

Ageing starts at the cellular level, and the external changes we see (fine lines, volume loss, skin laxity) are simply reflections of deeper biological processes. While we specialise in subtle, natural enhancements to the skin, we believe true anti-ageing starts beneath the surface.

​

Thanks to breakthroughs in biological age measurement and cellular science, we can now slow down or even reverse the effects of ageing. By tackling the root causes (not just the visible signs) we help you look and feel your best at every stage of life.

Biological vs Chronological Age

Until recently, it was widely believed that we couldn't influence the ageing process. The concept of biological ageing (the rate of ageing on the inside) changed this perspective. Key developments include:

​

  1. Measuring ageing: It is now possible to measure how your body is ageing internally, something that was previously difficult to prove without clinical trials.

  2. Ageing is not fixed: Scientists once believed ageing was programmed in our DNA, but the discrepancy between biological and chronological age disproves this. There are factors that accelerate or slow down the ageing process.

What Causes Cellular Ageing?

The 12 hallmarks of ageing are the key biological processes that contribute to cellular and tissue ageing. Their interactions and dysfunctions are what drives the ageing process.

How They Impact The Skin

Here are several ways these factors affect the skin:

​

1. Hyperpigmentation: Genomic Instability - Massive overproduction of melanin (due to sun exposure, ageing etc.) is a damage response that produces hyperpigmentation.

​

2. Rosacea: Chronic Inflammation damages skin structure and blood vessels showing up as redness and rosacea on the outside.

​

3. Wrinkles: Senescent Cells - Wrinkles and loss of elasticity are caused by senescent cells (put to sleep due to too much damage), which stops repairing itself and producing collagen and elastin. These cells trigger inflammation and act like rotten apples making surrounding cells senescent. As we age, up to 30% of our skin cells become senescent.

How We Can Help

At Avena Clinic, we take a personalised approach to longevity and skin health. During your consultation, we conduct a thorough assessment of your skin, lifestyle, and overall well-being to develop a customised plan tailored to your goals.

​

  • Personal Skincare – Dr Hen selects clinically proven products from a range of brands to target concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation, and loss of elasticity. Your skincare plan evolves with your skin’s needs to ensure lasting improvements.

​

  • Supplements – Every individual has unique skin concerns, whether it's fine lines, dullness, pigmentation, or breakouts. Standard, off-the-shelf supplements may not always provide the right combination of nutrients for your specific needs. With our tailored supplements, we create a personalised formula based on your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle, ensuring maximum efficacy and real, visible results.

​

  • Biological Age Test – Our advanced biological age testing provides deep insights into your cellular health, allowing us to monitor progress and refine your regimen for optimal longevity. With regular testing, you can see the tangible benefits of your personalised plan.

Book a consultation today to start your personalised journey and take control of your skin health and longevity.
