What is preventive cosmetology? Experts answer

In the last few years, the beauty industry has begun to develop especially actively. New procedures, devices, and even instructions emerged. One of them is preventive cosmetology. It began to develop in Russia only 10-15 years ago, but now it is already popular among beauty lovers. Moreover, if earlier people turned to a beautician after 30 years, today the age of the patient’s first visit is already different – 20 years. Many girls want to be proactive and therefore undergo aesthetic interventions from their teenage years.

Together with Anastasia Sharova, a cosmetologist at the Swiss Beauty Clinic, and Andrei Alenichev, a dermatovenerologist at the Clinical Institute of Aesthetic Medicine, we will understand what preventive cosmetology is, why it is needed and when you can start the procedures.

What is preventive cosmetology?

Preventive cosmetology is skin care that combats the natural aging process. It combines cosmetics, soft hardware techniques, biorevitalization, as well as correction of the shape of the face or lips. Thanks to special techniques and skin analyses, preventive cosmetology helps preserve youth by using the potential of the body’s own cells.

“Preventive cosmetology is about conscious skin care even before the first age-related changes appear. In this case, the goal is not to correct them, but to prevent them. We work proactively: we keep the skin moist, dense, with good turgor and support natural regeneration processes,” added Andrey Alenichev.

At what age can you resort to preventive cosmetology?

Today, girls aged 25-30 are turning to preventive cosmetology. However, you can resort to procedures in this direction after the age of 20-22, when hormonal levels become stable. At this age, you can determine your expectations, taking into account your skin type and facial structure, lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and choose gentle procedures to maintain balance.

“There are a lot of young patients who show obvious signs of premature aging. This can be caused by various reasons and factors that the beautician must examine. If a girl notices wrinkles, swelling or decreased skin tone on her face, you should not expect this to worsen,” said Anastasia Sharova.

What procedures are suitable for young girls?

– biorevitalization;

– collagen therapy;

– phototherapy;

– rejuvenation with neodymium laser (if the first age-related changes are noticed)

– LED therapy;

– microcurrents,

– vacuum hydropeeling HydraFacial;

– administration of botulinum toxin without indication;

– introduction of volumetric fillers;

– powerful hardware procedures.

Experts also added that the doctor is obliged to refuse a procedure that is not suitable for the patient. Also explain why the intervention might be harmful and suggest alternative solutions. Cosmetology is medicine. Each procedure is prescribed according to indications, taking into account all the characteristics and capabilities of the body.

How can preventive cosmetology be dangerous?

Preventive cosmetology can be dangerous when used to rejuvenate already young skin. Working with aggressive techniques that require rehabilitation and excessive intervention disrupts the natural regeneration mechanisms: the skin becomes sensitive, loses its tone, fibrosis or unnatural facial expressions may appear.

But if these are preventive procedures aimed at restoring the body’s own resources and skin, there will be no negative consequences.

Important: Before signing up for a procedure, make sure that the beautician is a professional. Also listen to the advice of an experienced specialist who takes into account all the characteristics of your body.
