More people in their 20s or 30s are realising the benefit of having cosmetic injectables and other treatments earlier rather than later, as to prevent wrinkles from forming in the first instance rather than try fix deeper wrinkles later in life. See below for our three best preventive treatments for signs of aging.
Botulinum Toxin A injections can work preventatively for clients in their 20s and 30s to address very early signs of aging such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes. Botulinum Toxin A is injected into the muscle and causes the muscle to relax so it can no longer contract. Wrinkles are caused by the repetitive creasing of the skin so treating these areas earlier can prevent these wrinkles and deep lines from developing, rather than attempting to fix them afterwards.
How early should you start?
Some choose to start with injectables from as early as mid-20s to their 30s, but as soon as you are noticing fine lines that are bothering you, you may wish to prevent these from becoming deeper wrinkles. A common perception is that once you start having injectables, you will never want to stop - this isn't necessarily the case. For areas such as the frown and forehead, you may unlearn to use these muscles (i.e. stop frowning, squinting and raising your eyebrows), and over time, you will need to come in less and less. Many younger clients love the results and smooth appearance that anti-wrinkle treatments give to their complexion.
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel for treating skin laxity. It has one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market and boosts the production of elastin and collagen in your skin, resulting in hydrated, firmer, tighter skin. It works effectively on its own, or as a complementary treatment alongside other aesthetic procedures such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.
From the age of 25 years old, collagen and elastin production declines, leading to wrinkles, loss of volume and elasticity over time. For younger people who have less volume loss and minimal signs of aging, Profhilo® works beautifully as a preventative treatment by maintaining and boosting collagen and elastin production, to prevent or slow it’s decline. After the treatment, your skin will continue to look healthier, more hydrated and “bouncy” in the months following.
At Transform Clinic, we offer various facials to boost your overall skin quality, such as microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion (HydraFacial™), microneedling and sonophoresis. Clinical facials can work preventatively for signs of aging by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin and therefore, slow down the aging process - making your skin look more supple, fresh, and reducing the appearance of potential fine lines and wrinkles.
