Rejuvenation treatments and procedures focus on correcting cosmetic issues that have already occurred. The newly introduced prejuvenation treatments focus on non-invasive treatment methods to prevent skin aging. This popular and effective treatment option has emerged for patients in their twenties to help them maintain their youthful look while combatting the onset of fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, and sagging skin. Learn more about our prejuvenation treatment methods at Cerulean Medical Institute in Kelowna, BC, and the best times to receive them.
What is Prejuvenation?
Prejuvenation is a proactive approach to slow down signs of aging skin before they emerge. Prejuvenation focuses on preventing these common aging concerns instead of correcting them after they have already become chronic and complicated.
When Does Skin Aging Begin?
Aging of the skin can start as early as the twenties. This is because the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin starts to decrease. These proteins help to give the skin structure and flexibility, essential for preventing wrinkles and sagging skin.
During the thirties, the fat tissues below the skin shift and lose volume. At this time, the skin also gets thinner, and the blood vessels become more prominent and, in some cases, more visible. During this time, the effects of sun damage become more visible on the skin, and facial expressions imprint lines and wrinkles on the face.
The signs of aging can be challenging to treat if patients wait until after they have static lines and thinner skin. Prejuvenation treatments can help address the initial signs of aging while postponing future aging signs and symptoms.
Facial Prejuvenation Treatments
Facial injectables can offer you the stability and volume you need before they diminish. As we age, the skin starts to sag and loses its youthful fullness because of decreased production of elastin and collagen proteins. Recently, the use of facial injectables in those under thirty has doubled, illustrating the widespread effectiveness and benefits of prejuvenation treatments. Facial injectables that offer prejuvenation include neuromodulators and dermal fillers.
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulator treatments reduce the appearance of wrinkles from emerging and etching on the skin. This temporarily relaxes muscle movement, allowing for smooth skin. Neuromodulator treatment can also help to enhance brow shape and awaken the eyes. The best time for individuals to consider neuromodulators for facial prejuvenation is before they notice static lines on their resting face. These lines typically occur around the eyes, between the mouth and chin, and where you smile. Botox in Kelowna allows you to prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while maintaining your natural appearance. This preventative treatment involves a smaller dosage than corrective treatment methods.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be injected into areas that you want to shape, contour and sculpt. As you age, the subcutaneous fat in your body decreases, leaving you with excess skin, bony hands, and a tired face. Dermal fillers can be injected to reduce facial shadowing, refresh the face, and give you the youthful volume you wish to maintain.
Laser Prejuvenation Treatments
Genetics, environmental irritants, and lifestyle affect skin appearance and age. Laser treatments can address early signs of skin damage and aging. Fine lines, sun damage, and dullness can all be treated with laser treatment. Laser treatment helps to even the overall skin tone while smoothing the texture. This helps to delay the onset of fine lines, tissue laxity, skin folds, and sun damage.

Lifestyle Prejuvenation Techniques
Although cosmetic treatments can give you the upper hand to prevent aging skin from developing, the following habits can help you maintain your healthy and youthful skin for the long term.
1. Prevent Sun Damage
Protecting yourself from the sun’s harmful UV rays can help combat early-onset wrinkles, skin discoloration, and skin cancer. To prevent sun damage, wear sunscreen daily and skin protective clothing to shield your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, stay in shaded areas, and avoid going outdoors when the UV index is high.
2. Avoid Smoking
Smoking can cause your skin to age prematurely by breaking down the collagen in your skin. This causes your skin to lose its youthful structure. Individuals who quit smoking while they are young can give their skin the time it needs to repair.
3. Implement an Anti-aging Skincare Regiment
Finding a good skincare routine using medical grade skincare can help you maintain your youthful skin. It can also help restore collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to keep your skin flawless and radiant.
Your antiaging skincare routine can include exfoliation to rid your skin of dead skin cells, debris, and oil. This can help improve your skin’s overall texture, tone, and health.
Retinol can also increase collagen production and stimulate new blood vessels to improve the skin’s overall tone. This can also reduce minor fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and textured skin.
Vitamin C serums protect the skin carrier from sunburn, photoaging, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, dullness, dryness, and uneven skin tone.
Hyaluronic acid can also help cleanse and moisturize sensitive skin as it ages. Hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate the skin before it becomes dull from the effects of aging. Youthful skin is hydrated because it contains hyaluronic acid in the dermis. As individuals age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases.
4. Implement a Healthy Diet
Watching the foods that you eat can affect how your skin looks. Eating foods rich in antioxidants and the necessary vitamins can help you achieve healthy-looking and protected skin.
