How Stress Ages Your Skin—and What You Can Do About It

Ever feel like stress is showing on your face? You're not imagining it. Chronic stress doesn’t just impact your mental and emotional health—it also accelerates the aging process. At Source Medical Aesthetics in Matawan, NJ, we offer solutions that address both the visible and underlying signs of stress-related skin aging.


How Stress Impacts Your Skin

When you’re under constant stress, your body produces higher levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone.” Over time, elevated cortisol leads to:


  • Breakdown of collagen and elastin
  • Increased inflammation and sensitivity
  • Dehydrated skin and slower cell turnover
  • Tension lines from furrowing your brow, clenching your jaw, or squinting


The result? Premature wrinkles, dullness, redness, and even flare-ups of acne or rosacea.


Visible Signs of Stress Aging


  • Forehead lines and frown lines from frequent worry or concentration
  • Crow’s feet from squinting or poor sleep
  • Tired, hollow under-eyes
  • Dull, dry skin and uneven tone


Treatments That Reverse Stress Damage


At Source Medical Aesthetics, we take a holistic approach to stress-induced aging. Our most popular treatments for stress-related concerns include:


  • Botox/Dysport/Xeomin – Smooth tension lines and ease habitual facial contractions
  • Dermal fillers – Restore lost volume and revive tired features
  • Hydrating facials + microneedling – Improve texture, tone, and glow
  • PRP – Enhance repair and cell regeneration


These treatments not only improve how your skin looks—they can soothe and calm the physiological effects of stress.
