Skincare & Anti-aging 30s

In your 30’s your acne should be a distant memory. If you still suffer from breakouts & blemishes, our dermatologist can find an effective solution. 

Dermal fillers are employed in this age group to replace volume loss. Classic treatment areas include the lips, cheekbones & jawline. 

Anti-wrinkle injections can reduce & prevent wrinkles. Whilst gentle resurfacing lasers can markedly improve your skin quality, reducing pigmentation & improving luminosity.

Focus on improving your skin quality. This entails reducing pigment including sunspots, freckles, sun damage, melasma, & brown acne marks. Conversely, there are targeted treatments to reduce redness & blotchiness as well as broken capillaries. 

Brown or red acne marks can be treated with pico lasers & super-gentle fractional lasers. Broken capillaries can be treated with vascular lasers. 

Fractional lasers improve skin texture as well as correct fine lines, scars & enlarged pores.

Dermal fillers in your 30s fulfil one of two roles-

1. Correct, or enhance genetic volume deficits. This refers to what you are born with, also referred to as your natural profile. Examples include thin lips, weak jawline, or chin.
2. Replace volume loss due to reduction of dermal collagen. You lose over 1% of collagen from your early 20s. If you are in your late 30s, you’re behind by 20+%. No amount of skincare can replace this loss. Dermal fillers can predictably replace loss volume in only one simple 10-minute procedure.

Anti-Wrinkle injections in the 30’s differ from your 20’s. In most cases, patients in the 30s will exhibit static wrinkles & fine lines. Small units of anti-wrinkle injections can treat & prevent deeper lines & creases. Performed with skill & precision, our injectors can reduce wrinkles whilst still giving you a natural look.
