We all know that too much sugar isn’t great for your body — but did you know it can also affect your skin? This lesser-known process is called glycation, and it may be the hidden reason behind early signs of ageing such as wrinkles, sagging, and dullness.
Let’s explore what glycation is, how it speeds up skin ageing, and what treatments can help support healthier-looking skin.
What is Glycation?
How Does Glycation Affect Your Skin?
Is It Possible to Reverse Glycation Damage?
While the structural changes caused by glycation cannot be fully reversed, there are ways to support skin repair and renewal with medical aesthetic treatments that improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.
At our Healthsprings, we offer several doctor-personalised options that are suitable for individuals with signs of glycation-related skin ageing:
Formulated with polynucleotides derived from trout DNA, this skin booster supports collagen regeneration and skin repair from within. It is especially suitable for skin affected by environmental stress or early signs of ageing, helping to improve firmness, hydration, and overall texture.
Suitable for: Fine lines, skin laxity, dullness, early signs of ageing
This non-ablative fractional laser gently resurfaces the skin, encouraging new skin turnover and collagen renewal. It acts like a digital exfoliation and collagen reboot — with minimal downtime compared to traditional lasers.
Suitable for: Rough texture, wrinkles, uneven tone caused by glycation buildup
Using targeted light energy, this treatment helps stimulate collagen and break down uneven pigmentation. It’s often used to refresh and brighten dull, uneven skin, especially when glycation and sun exposure have taken a toll.
Suitable for: Pigmentation, dullness, sun damage, glycation-related skin ageing
