3 Reasons to Begin Anti-Aging Treatments in Your 20s

---

Aging skin isn’t something that can be avoided but, the good news is, it can be prevented! Being in your 20s is the perfect time to start taking good care of your skin and save yourself a lot of worry in the future.

 Some of the benefits of using anti-aging treatments such as Botox and microdermabrasion early on include:

• Healthier skin
• Prevents skin cancer
• Minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as you get older
• Lower anti-aging costs in the future  

At our Kelowna Skin Clinic, we offer a wide range of anti-aging cosmetic procedures from Botox to facelifts for patients of all ages, helping to keep your skin naturally beautiful, healthy and young.

3 reasons to begin anti-aging treatments in your 20s

Anti-aging treatments such as Botox and microdermabrasion used to be reserved for the over 40s-set. However, more and more patients in their 20s and 30s are seeking out gentle, minimally invasive treatments to keep their skin healthy and young.  

Here are 3 reasons why you should consider anti-aging treatments in your 20s: 

1. Prevention is better than a cure

It is far more budget-friendly to start investing in wrinkle prevention in your 20s using treatments such as Botox and microdermabrasion, than spending a small fortune on a facelift in your 40s or 50s.

Using Botox in your 20s for preventative purposes has many benefits including:

• Slows wrinkle development: Botox can help delay the appearance of wrinkles on your brow and around your eyes by temporarily inhibiting the muscle movements that lead to their development.  

• Fewer skin treatments in the future: Opting for Botox treatments in your 20s may mean that you need them less as you get older. Because the muscles of your face are impacted by Botox, many patients find they require fewer ‘touch ups’ after multiple treatments.

 So not only is starting an anti-aging regimen in your 20s the cheapest approach in the long run, it’s also a lot easier, smarter and effective.

2. Wrinkles don’t happen overnight

Although not dramatically present, the first hints of aging are slowly emerging in your 20s. These are typically small changes your skin is experiencing including:

• Larger pores
• Changes in texture
• A less radiant complexion

While they may be too small to see at first, one day they will be a lot more obvious. To prevent further damage, you may want to consider gentle, non-invasive anti-aging treatments such as microdermabrasion, which help exfoliate and revitalize the skin. 

Microdermabrasion can be used for many skin concerns including:

• Uneven skin tone and complexion
• Clogged pores that often cause whiteheads or blackheads
• Age spots and other sun damage
• Unwanted facial lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars

3. Anti-aging treatments can prevent breakouts

Anti-aging cosmetic treatments are worth investing in during your 20s because they can keep your skin healthy and prevent breakouts.

A microdermabrasion treatment helps get rid of dry skin and unclog pores while skin products that contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as vitamin C, are very effective in reducing acne.

Facelifts in Your 20s

The typical facelift patient is in their 50s or 60s because it is around this age that both wrinkles and contour changes start to appear in the face and neck. Occasionally, a younger patient can have enough early aging changes to justify a facelift due to:

• Extreme weight loss
• Genetics
• Unfavorable bone structure

 However, a surgical facelift is almost NEVER recommended for a patient in their 20s as, at such a young age, it will not provide long lasting results.

There are now a plethora of non-surgical anti-aging treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers which work much better for younger patients and provide dramatic results, rivaling those of a facelift, without the high costs, risks and long recovery times.
