Aesthetic dermatology isn’t just about reversing signs of aging; it’s about staying ahead of them. “Prejuvenation” is one of the biggest shifts in cosmetic care. It’s the trend of starting preventative treatments like Botox and fillers earlier to maintain youthful skin for longer.
We focus on a balanced, natural approach. The goal isn’t to change your features; it’s to protect and preserve your skin’s structure, elasticity, and overall harmony through subtle, proactive care.
What is Prejuvenation?
Prejuvenation combines prevention with rejuvenation. Instead of waiting for fine lines, volume loss, or laxity to appear, patients begin treatments designed to maintain collagen, prevent wrinkles from deepening, and keep skin smooth and resilient.
Think of it like wearing sunscreen or exercising for long-term health. You’re not waiting for a problem to appear. You’re taking preventive steps that keep your skin looking its best for years to come.
Why Patients Are Starting Earlier
More and more people in their 20s and 30s are choosing to start aesthetic treatments earlier than ever before. Lifestyle factors such as UV exposure, stress, blue light, and environmental damage all accelerate aging. Combine that with increased education and transparency about skincare, and younger patients now see prevention as part of their self-care routine.
Modern treatments also make it possible to do this conservatively. With today’s advanced injectables and technologies, results can be incredibly subtle by enhancing what you already have and not changing how you look.
The Treatments Behind Prejuvenation
Botox for Early Expression Lines
We can use Botox in very small, precise doses (sometimes called “baby Botox”) to prevent expression lines from becoming permanent. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause forehead creases, frown lines, and crow’s feet—keeping skin smoother for longer. The goal is to maintain natural movement while reducing repetitive muscle activity that deepens wrinkles over time.
Fillers for Subtle Volume and Balance
Starting filler early isn’t about adding noticeable volume. It’s about maintaining balance subtly. A small amount can restore hydration and structure in areas like the lips, under-eyes, or cheeks, preventing early signs of hollowing or laxity. Hyaluronic acid fillers are ideal because they integrate smoothly into the skin and can be customized to each face for completely natural results.
Laser and Skin Treatments for Long-Term Health
Preventative injectables pair best with treatments that improve the skin’s overall health. At Simply Dermatology, our options include:
- Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel to maintain tone, texture, and collagen production.
- Salt Facial® and HydraFacial® for hydration and radiance.
- Chemical Peels to brighten, smooth, and keep pores clear.
These treatments build and preserve skin quality from the surface down, complementing the effects of Botox and fillers beautifully.
The Layered Approach to Prevention
True prevention works best when it’s layered and maintained consistently. Injectables can maintain structure, while laser skin treatments and medical-grade skincare strengthen the skin barrier and collagen network.
At Simply Dermatology, we design individualized plans that combine subtle injectable treatments with results-driven skincare from The Simply Collection. Together, they reinforce the skin’s natural defenses and promote long-term radiance—without ever looking overdone.
When to Start Prejuvenation
There’s no universal age to begin. Some patients start in their mid-20s to prevent expression lines; others in their early 30s when they first notice texture or volume changes. The best time to start is when you begin to see consistent movement lines or early changes in skin firmness.
Our philosophy is simple: prevention should enhance your natural features and slow the need for more invasive treatments later on. It’s about small, consistent steps that make a lasting difference.
