Aesthetic medicine is becoming increasingly popular, attracting a wide and ever-younger range of patients. While it was once associated mainly with anti-aging treatments for those over 40, today many people begin considering it as early as their twenties, particularly for the prevention of aging signs.
So, what is the ideal age to start aesthetic medicine ? Which treatments are recommended at each stage of life to preserve skin radiance and youthfulness while keeping a natural appearance ?
In this article, we guide you through the different life stages and the most suitable aesthetic treatments for each age.
Contrary to popular belief, aesthetic medicine is not just for mature skin and is not only about "correcting" the signs of aging. It also plays a preventive role by slowing down skin aging and preserving facial harmony.
Why start early ?
• Preserve skin quality and delay the appearance of wrinkles.
• Limit collagen and elastin loss with appropriate treatments.
• Avoid more invasive treatments at a later age (facelift, surgery).
• Gradually harmonise and enhance the face without drastic transformation.
It’s not just about "looking younger", but about maintaining healthy skin and naturally preventing the effects of time.
At 20, the skin is still young, firm, and well-hydrated. However, external factors such as pollution, stress, smoking, alcohol, or sun exposure can dull its radiance and accelerate skin aging. The skin may need a boost of Skin Radiance.
• Skinboosters and Mesotherapy (Mesolift: injections of fluid hyaluronic acid and vitamins to deeply hydrate, improve skin quality and prevent dehydration.
• Mild Peel : remove impurities, tighten pores, and boost skin radiance.
• Correction of imperfections : treatment of acne scars, redness, and pigmentation spots..
The goal is to maintain healthy, radiant skin while delaying the first signs of aging.
From the age of 30, collagen and elastin production begins to decline. The first expression lines appear — on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. The skin also becomes thinner and may lose its glow.
• Botox for preventing wrinkles ( Baby Botox) : small doses to prevent expression lines from becoming fixed (frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet).
• Hyaluronic acid for fine lines : filling the first fine lines around the lips and eyes for a smooth, natural effect.
• Lasers and LED herapy to even out the complexion : treating pigmentation spots, redness, and imperfections.
• Radiofrequency : non-invasive technique that stimulates collagen production and firms the skin.
The goal is to smooth early wrinkles and preserve skin firmness.
In your 40s, wrinkles deepen, facial contours begin to lose definition, and skin laxity becomes more visible. Facial volume (cheekbones, temples, lips) may also decrease due to the loss of subcutaneous fat.
• Volumizing hyaluronic acid : targeted injections to lift the cheekbones, redefine the jawline, and plump the lips.
• Botox for established wrinkles : smoothing already marked expression lines without freezing facial features.
• Skin Prevent.
• Lasers fractionnés and medium peel : stimulate skin regeneration and improve texture.
• Cryolipolysis : non-invasive treatment to remove localized fat (chin, abdomen).
The goal is to restore facial harmony and slow the effects of aging.
From the age of 50, the skin sags more, wrinkles deepen, and the jawline may lose definition, with jowls starting to appear. Aesthetic treatments help restore volume, smooth deep wrinkles, and improve overall skin quality.
• Facelift with hyaluronic acid injections : immediate tightening effect without surgery.
• Botox to smooth deep wrinkles (forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, frown lines).
• Skin Restore.
• Lasers and radiofrequency : skin tightening without surgery.
• Treatment of pigmentation spots caused by sun and aging.
The goal is to reduce the visible effects of aging while maintaining a natural and expressive face.
.
There is no single age to begin aesthetic medicine. Every skin is different, and treatments should be personalized based on individual needs and expectations.
• At 20 : hydration and protection against external aggressions.
• At 30 : preventive Botox and first anti-aging treatments.
• At 40 : wrinkle correction and volume restoration.
• At 50 and over : firming and overall rejuvenation.
The key is to adopt a gentle, gradual approach to achieve natural and harmonious results.
