We’ve all heard the saying “prevention is better than cure” and this couldn’t be more true than with skincare. That is where prejuvenation treatments come in… The term prejuvenation refers to proactive skincare to prevent premature aging, crucial for those aged 25 to 30. It advocates sun protection, hydration, antioxidants, retinoids, gentle exfoliation, and healthy habits.
Starting with great skincare habits and professional treatments early maintains elasticity, reduces fine lines, and ensures long-term skin health. Treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facials utilise skin rejuvenating PRP, non-invasive lasers target fine lines and sun damage, and chemical peels combat oxidative stress (to name just a few). These interventions promote youthful skin and delay visible aging effects, offering a comprehensive approach to maintaining a vibrant and healthy complexion throughout the aging process.
