Over the years, cosmetic procedures and treatments have moved from solely being used for reversal to being used as a preventative measure as well. From Botox stopping fine lines from deepening to an upper blepharoplasty to get ahead of drooping eyelids, the strategy has shifted. Now, providers are seeing clients start to come in younger, hoping to proactively treat concerns that have just begun to appear. However, finding the balance between proactive procedures and early procedures may be dependent on the expertise of your provider. Certain large surgeries and intense treatments should continue to be reserved for those with the anatomy to support it. Creating a custom, long-term treatment plan is ideal for making sure you take the correct proactive measures without going a step too far, too early.

 

So, What’s Best For Prevention?

Preventative treatments are great for keeping you looking like yourself with subtle, natural adjustments. Ideal treatments in a proactive plan would help keep collagen production up, prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming or deepening, and small procedures as needed. Take one of SKINHAUS Beauty’s Nurse Practitioners as an example. Over the years she’s had small and subtle enhancements to keep her looking natural while getting rid of some signs of aging. Small refinements like a brow lift or a blepharoplasty can take away excess skin while tightening and refreshing what they leave behind. Doing these procedures as soon as the skin starts showing signs of needing them is great for promoting smooth healing and seamless results. 

Less invasive preventative measures include Botox, lasers, and microneedling treatments. These all help keep and repair the skin as it ages and goes through life. Lasers like BBL can help with sun damage, dark spots, redness, and fine lines. This treatment can also help keep up skin elasticity, something that naturally lowers with age. Botox and other neurotoxins can be used preventatively to prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming or getting deeper. By relaxing the muscles around the injection site, lines will be less visible and stop developing during the neurotoxin’s lifetime. Microneedling, or combined microneedling and radiofrequency like Morpheus8, is another great proactive measure to keep collagen production up and make a difference below the surface of the skin. 

 

What Should I Wait For?

Preventative and proactive treatments are different from doing something earlier than necessary. Aging gracefully is often a patient’s goal but doing intensive procedures like a facelift before necessary can backfire. With proper and holistic preventative treatments, you should be able to wait longer before or avoid an overhaul surgery.
