Prejuvenation

Prejuvenation

In recent years, there has been a growing trend in the aesthetics arena (and also, to an extent) in the beauty industry that involves starting anti-ageing treatments earlier than what was traditionally recommended. This desire to prevent the signs of ageing before they are visible resulted in many clinics and aesthetic brands using the term "age-prevent" products or "age-prevent" treatments, which has later morphed into the term "prejuvenation". In other words, when approaching skin rejuvenation, 'prevention is better than cure". This phenomenon is commonly referred to as "prejuvenation."

What Is Prejuvenation?

Prejuvenation involves proactive measures to combat the signs of ageing before they emerge. Traditionally, the aesthetics industry concentrated on reversing ageing effects once they became visible. However, the rise of prejuvenation has shifted this focus towards prevention, highlighting treatments and skincare products that help delay the appearance of ageing signs.

Why Should You Consider Prejuvenation Treatments?

The primary goal of prejuvenation is to maintain youthful skin for as long as possible. This approach includes a variety of treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, laser therapy, chemical peels, skin-tightening procedures, carboxytherapy, micro-needling, fractional treatments, and mesotherapy. These treatments are designed to address the early indicators of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

Recent advancements in technology and medical research have significantly improved the effectiveness and accessibility of prejuvenation treatments. Compared to a decade ago, modern skin rejuvenation procedures are less invasive and often require minimal to no downtime.

It's important to recognise that prejuvenation is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each individual's needs vary based on age, skin type, budget, skin condition, and lifestyle. A personalised approach is essential for achieving optimal results.

frequently asked
questions

Are prejuvenation treatments available at all Skin Renewal clinics?

Prejuvenation treatments are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.

What type of skin ages the fastest?

Fair, thin, and dry skin tends to age the fastest. Fair skin has less melanin, which offers some protection against UV damage, leading to more rapid ageing. Thin skin is more prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles, while dry skin lacks the necessary oils to maintain elasticity, making it more susceptible to wrinkles and sagging.

What is the best treatment for ageing skin?

The best treatment for ageing skin is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It depends on individual skin concerns and goals. A combination of treatments often yields the best results. Topical treatments with retinoids and antioxidants can improve skin texture and tone, while professional treatments like laser therapy, dermal fillers, and chemical peels can address deeper wrinkles and skin laxity.

By consulting with a Skin Renewal doctor, you can determine the most effective treatment plan for your skin, empowering you to make informed decisions about your skincare.

Are skin rejuvenation treatments painful?

Skin rejuvenation treatments are generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort, if any. The level of discomfort varies depending on the specific treatment and individual pain thresholds. Many treatments involve topical anaesthetics or cooling techniques to minimise discomfort during the procedure.

Why does your skin look tired?

Tired-looking skin can result from various factors, including stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, poor nutrition, and environmental exposure, such as UV rays and pollution. Over time, these factors contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to dullness, fine lines, and a lack of firmness, which gives the skin a tired appearance.

Are skin rejuvenation treatments permanent?
