As people get older, they become concerned about the aging process of their skin.
Very often, however, this results in delayed action, such as the purchase and use of serums or creams that do not achieve the desired results.
This is because the decision to intervene is often made when the damage is already visible and therefore much more difficult to reverse, and also because the “serum of youth” may not yet exist.
This is why, in recent times, the so-called “prejuvenation” treatments have become more and more popular among aesthetic treatments, with the aim of preventing skin aging in adulthood.
In this article, let’s see what prejuvenation treatments are and which ones are most in demand.
What is prejuvenation?
The term “prejuvenation” is a play on words that starts with the word “rejuvenation” and adds the prefix “pre” to convey the concept of prevention and true “early rejuvenation”.
In short, this label can encompass all aesthetic medicine treatments aimed at delaying the symptoms of skin aging for as long as possible.
It is a well-known fact that as the years go by and we get older, the formation of small spots or wrinkles on the skin of the face becomes more and more common.
The critical period for the appearance of the first of these small signs of aging is between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.
For this reason, many people resort to prejuvenation treatments from the very beginning, using them as a kind of prevention that can slow down the natural aging of their skin.
These are treatments that increase collagen production, support elastin function and maintain facial volume.
In fact, it is precisely in this age group that collagen production tends to slow down, making this type of external “supplementation” through these treatments useful.
Prejuvenation treatments: the most common procedures
There are many prejuvenation treatments available, but the most popular in the field of aesthetic medicine are mainly three. Let’s go through them.
The first and most common is Botox.
This involves small injections of botulinum toxin, mainly around the eyes and forehead, to prevent the appearance of small lines or wrinkles on the face.
Another common procedure is microneedling.
This is a useful procedure for fading the first signs of aging and is also often used to remove scars resulting from acne in the teenage years.
It is basically based on micro-perforations of the skin, which reacts to the treatment by trying to compensate by regenerating new tissue and producing new collagen.
Finally, another popular treatment is thermage, a facial tightening treatment that works by increasing collagen levels through radiofrequency, resulting in tissue relaxation.
Unlike other radiofrequency-based treatments, thermage is often exhausted within a single session, and only in very few cases is a second session required. In short, a very fast and effective treatment.
Prejuvenation and New Trends in Aesthetic Medicine
The increase in demand for prejuvenation treatments is another factor (such as the great popularity of the liquid facelift that we have discussed here) that should lead practitioners working in the field of aesthetic medicine to equip themselves with outpatient furniture and equipment that can cope with an ever-expanding market that includes age groups that were excluded until a few years ago.
This means investing in products specifically designed for this ever-evolving medical field, offering clients a quality experience and giving their practice a recognition that will undoubtedly come in handy in a sector where, as we have seen in this article, a client can truly be “forever”.
That’s why Tecnocare chairs and stools, developed in collaboration with a scientific committee of estheticians and surgeons, are also in this respect a response to the needs of estheticians who want to keep up with the times.
