Preventative Aesthetics Treatments to Consider in Your 30s
Many millennials have started noticing the first signs of aging in their skin. That’s because collagen starts declining as early as your 30s and this can lead to loss of skin elasticity, fine lines around the eyes, uneven texture, and/or a duller complexion.
Fortunately, if you’re starting to notice these signs, there are preventative aesthetics treatments to consider in your thirties.
Also known as prejuvenation, preventive aesthetics treatments aim to delay the signs of aging in those where it’s just beginning to show. And millennials are finding success with them.
The Top Preventative Aesthetics Treatments
Preventative aesthetics will help to stimulate your body’s natural regenerative systems now so that it takes longer for deep wrinkles and laxity to form later. It’s about preserving what you have while investing in your future appearance.
Getting these small and strategic cosmetic treatments in your 30s could help you dodge the need for more aggressive procedures in your midlife and later years. The most popular treatments are as follows:
- Plasma-Rich Platelets (PRP) with Microneedling
PRP with microneeding is a minimally invasive skin treatment. A microneedling device is used to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the treatment area with tiny needles that puncture the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, which are vital for youthful skin.
The PRP, which is derived from a small blood sample you give, is then applied to the skin. The microchannels created by the microneedling allow the PRP to penetrate deeply into the skin, enhancing the healing process and maximizing the benefits of the treatment. PRP is rich in growth factors and helps accelerate healing and enhance results by rejuvenating the skin at a deeper level.
- Dermal Fillers
A dermal filler such as Juvéderm is made with the body’s natural compound, hyaluronic acid. Juvéderm and fillers like it addresses static wrinkles such as nasolabial folds (i.e. laugh lines) and the marionette line folds that develop between the corners of the mouth and continue down to the jaw line.
The gel-like fillers are injected beneath the skin and can stave off the need for facial surgery in younger patients. They smooth lines, soften creases, and restore volume to enhance your facial contours. There is no downtime with fillers, but the results aren’t as long-lasting as surgical options. Therefore, you’d need to return for treatments.
- Botox
Botox contains neurotoxins that temporarily weaken the muscles in your face. Scary as it may sound, it’s really not. A bacterium called Clostridium botulinum comprises the neurotoxins used in Botox. and it’s created in a lab where technicians dilute and sterilize these toxins.
By weakening or paralyzing the muscles that cause laugh lines, crow’s feet, or other wrinkles, Botox effectively reduces those wrinkles and lines to provide younger-looking skin. When the injected muscle is unable to contract, wrinkles relax and soften. Plus, Botox also helps prevent new wrinkles from forming. So it’s a two-fer!
- VI Chemical Peel
There are a variety of chemicals peels, but the VI peel is one of the newest and safest chemical peels on the market. And it’s ideal for a wide range of skin types, including darker skin which typically requires preconditioning for a traditional chemical peel. A VI peel can dramatically improve the skin’s texture and tone, leaving it with a clear and radiant glow.
Using a unique blend of minerals, salicylic acid, vitamin C, phenol, retinoic acid, and TCA, the VI peel works to safely remove damaged layers of skin and promote cellular growth. At the most basic level, this blend will help the skin to build collagen and elastin; tightening the skin, shrinking enlarged pores, and erasing fine lines and wrinkles. It’s also effective on dull or damaged skin as a result of acne, rosacea, sun damage, or melasma and other hyperpigmentation issues.
Plus, it’s packed with vitamins and minerals, making it far more nourishing than a traditional chemical peel.
- HydraFacial
Hydrafacial is perfect for anyone who wants a refreshed, youthful appearance without the downtime of more invasive procedures. The procedure consists of a gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells that reveals a fresh, new layer of skin. This is followed by a painless suction process to remove impurities from clogged pores.
Your skin is then drenched in intensive moisturizers, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants, leaving it deeply hydrated, plump, and rejuvenated. Finally, a customized serum is applied to protect your skin from environmental damage and lock in moisture for a lasting, youthful glow.
For optimal results, Hydrafacial treatments should be performed regularly (perhaps once every month or two) to maintain your skin’s health and radiance.
Maintain Results with Stellar Skincare Products and Hydration
No matter your procedure, it’s important to take care of your skin. Ideally, keep your sun exposure to a minimum. If you must go into it, use a sunblock with an SPF of at least 50 and wear appropriate clothing to shield the harmful UV rays.
In addition, use moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid after any face procedures. ALLASTIN Trihex Technology is a solid recommendation.
Finally, don’t forget to drink plenty of water. In general, most adults need five to eight glasses every day. Drinking a minimum of six glasses each day will keep your skin hydrated and healthy for many years to come.
