The physiology of skin varies based on gender, a difference that can be attributed to the rise in sex hormones during adolescence. Estrogen in women, as well as testosterone in men, are crucial in shaping the unique characteristics of the skin!
The Natural Advantage of Collagen and Testosterone in Men’s Skin
As you know, Collagen plays a critical role in maintaining youthful, resilient skin. It has been observed that male skin contains approximately 25% more collagen than female skin, making it naturally thicker and more resilient. This abundance of collagen contributes to fewer wrinkles and a slower onset of visible aging.
Testosterone, the dominant male hormone, also plays a significant role in skin health. It boosts the production of natural oils, which act as a barrier to lock in moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV rays. The combination of Collagen and Testosterone allows men’s skin to maintain elasticity and firmness longer than women’s, contributing to a more youthful appearance as they age!
The Role of Estrogen in Women’s Skin
In opposite, women’s skin, naturally thinner than men’s, is rich in elasticity and moisture due to the influence of Estrogen. This hormone plays a vital role in maintaining skin structure by supporting collagen and elastin production. During a woman’s younger years, Estrogen helps keep the skin firm, smooth, and hydrated by stimulating Glycosaminoglycans, molecules that bind water and enhance the skin’s natural moisture retention.
But down the line… With the drop in Estrogen levels starting in their 30s, especially during Menopause, the skin becomes more prone to sagging and dryness! From the above image, you can see the skin thickers decrease by about 20% during menopause. While women see a significant drop in Estrogen levels, Men, in contrast, experience a more gradual decline in testosterone levels starting in their 30s, with no accelerated drop as they age. Therefore, it is clear to state that “women appear to age faster than men of the same age.” Yes, the truth always hurts.
Moreover, the aging process is going faster in both genders also because of other factors related to bad lifestyle habits. Let us briefly spoil it for you: Neglecting sunscreen, poor diet, ignoring skincare routine, stress, smoking. According to the WHO, the South-East Asian Region currently has the highest tobacco use at 26.5%, followed closely by the European Region at 25.3%. By 2030, the European Region is projected to have the highest global prevalence at just over 23%. We all know “the evils of smoking,” such as shorter average life expectancy and negative impact on overall skin health! But the thing is, “You should stay away from those bad lifestyle habits to protect your health!
As we mentioned, since both genders can’t avoid the aging time, we can still give a hand with delaying aging and supporting the skin’s natural structure by kickstarting collagen and elastin production with the HIFU technology. This non-invasive treatment utilizes high ultrasound energy, specifically Elastic-core TCP, to focus on targeted areas of the dermis. Over time, this leads to firmer and tighter skin!
We are proudly introducing Corethera 2.0. With dual skin depth penetration in the dermal layer (1.5mm & 3.0mm) and NO Cartridge replacement, Corethera is all you need to achieve tightened skin as you wish!!! The High-Intensity Ultrasound energy goes deeply into focused areas, releasing high output and skin burn avoidance! Plus, this non-invasive treatment will rejuvenate your complexion, giving you firmer, smoother skin without surgery!!!
Whether you are male or female, be responsible for protecting and nurturing your skin, as you also deserve to be in the “glow-up era”!!!
