"Prejuvenation" is a trending skincare term, used to describe a proactive approach to anti-aging facial rejuvenation. Rather than waiting for visible signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines to appear, prejuvenation involves initiating skincare routines and treatments early in life to prevent or delay these signs from becoming prominent.
Prejuvenation has recently gained traction, especially among those in their 20s and 30s who more motivated than ever to prevent signs of aging. Due to social media, a rise in videoconferencing, aka the "zoom boom," and camera phones that store hundreds to thousands of photos, and serve as a constant reminder to what we look like, it's no surprise that prejuvenation has become increasingly popular in this digital age.
While treatments can obviously be beneficial at any age, younger individuals who have yet to experience significant signs of aging stand to benefit greatly from adopting this preventative approach. However, the millennials and Gen Z are not alone in hoping to preserve their youthful appearances. With the modern advances in skincare technology, there are more options than ever before to help stave off the aging process.
When it comes to anti-aging, there has been a dramatic shift from correction and reversal treatments, towards taking more preventive measures. I find this topic both fascinating and valuable, as we see more and more people looking to take proactive steps in their anti-aging journey, which also means we need to have more knowledge and consideration around the methods and treatments we use to get there.
Amidst the abundance of information, it can be challenging to discern the most effective strategies for your anti-aging needs--so I wanted to take some time today to give you my opinion on some of the popular prejuvenation practices; what they are, how they work, and potential risks.
I hope this guide can help you make educated decisions for yourself if you decide to go down this road.
