Your skin changes as your body changes. Hormones, aging, stress, sun exposure, and volume loss can all affect the way your face, hands, and skin texture look over time. The changes may feel gradual at first, then suddenly become more noticeable in photos, makeup application, or natural light.
Aging skin often needs more than surface-level care, especially when facial volume and tissue quality have changed. In Westport, Connecticut, Dr. Ellen Mahony offers ALMI/Microfat Transfer as a regenerative option that uses your own fat cells and regenerative tissue to restore volume and support aging tissues. Her board-certified plastic surgery background helps guide treatment planning with an understanding of both facial structure and long-term balance.
Why Our Skin Changes With Age
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elasticity, moisture, and thickness. Hormonal shifts can make those changes more noticeable, especially during midlife and after menopause.
Many people begin to see:
- Drier skin
- Fine lines and creases
- Thinner-looking skin
- Hollow cheeks or temples
- Less volume in the lips
- Veiny or older-looking hands
- Skin that looks less bright or firm
These changes are normal, but that doesn’t mean you have to ignore them if they bother you.
What Do Hormones Have to Do With Aging Skin?
Hormonal changes can affect oil production, collagen support, hydration, and skin thickness. When estrogen levels shift, your skin may feel drier, less elastic, or more fragile. You may also see changes in the way your face holds volume.
This is why skin care alone may not fully correct age-related changes. When volume loss and tissue quality both play a role, a regenerative treatment might be worth discussing.
How ALMI/Microfat Transfer Works
ALMI stands for Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injections. In simpler terms, it uses your own fat cells and regenerative tissue.
Fat is harvested from your body, processed, and injected into areas where you’re experiencing volume loss, tissue thinning, or aging-related changes.
ALMI can be used for areas such as:
- Hollow cheeks
- Deep smile or frown lines
- Thin lips
- Sunken temples
- Scars or depressions
- Contour irregularities
- Aging hands
Because ALMI uses your own tissue, it’s often appealing to people who want a more natural alternative to manufactured fillers.
Including PRP With ALMI/Microfat Transfer
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is sometimes added to support the regenerative process. PRP contains growth factors that can help create a healthier environment for tissue repair and renewal.
Together, ALMI and PRP may support volume, collagen, hydration, and skin quality. Dr. Mahony can help you decide whether this option fits your concerns or if another treatment would be more appropriate.
