CONCERNS – BODY
Skin Cellular Health
GOAL
Support and enhance skin cellular health to promote long-term firmness, texture, and resilience across the body.
CONCERN
Skin cellular health refers to the optimal function, renewal, and structural integrity of skin cells throughout the body. It supports visible qualities such as firmness, hydration, smooth texture, and the skin’s natural ability to protect and recover from environmental stress. As with facial skin, body skin is influenced by biological ageing, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposure, particularly in areas prone to friction, UV radiation, or dehydration. These influences may contribute to roughness, uneven texture, reduced elasticity, and early signs of skin ageing.
Key contributing factors include oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation (inflammaging), glycation, sun exposure, and pollution. These processes may impact cellular energy, fibroblast activity, and the production of key structural components such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Over time, a decline in cellular fuels such as NAD⁺ and essential fatty acids like C15:0 may further reduce the skin’s ability to maintain visible tone and texture, particularly in thinner or frequently exposed areas.
Optimising cellular health requires a combination of preventative and regenerative wellness strategies. Nutritional support is foundational: a diet rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, and healthy fats from sources like oily fish, plants, and whole-fat dairy helps support cellular resilience and mitochondrial function. Science-backed nutraceuticals, including NAD⁺ boosters and C15:0, may provide additional support for long-term skin vitality.
Daily UV protection, especially on the neck, chest, arms, and hands, is essential to help prevent cumulative damage. In-clinic aesthetic wellness technologies can complement these efforts. Treatments that are designed to stimulate fibroblast activity, promote skin renewal, support mitochondrial efficiency, and reduce the appearance of inflammation and oxidative stress may help improve firmness, refine texture, and maintain skin vibrancy across the body.
When integrated into a consistent care routine, these strategies can support visibly stronger, more resilient skin and promote long-term skin confidence from head to toe.
