Prejuvenation 101: What Are The Best Preventative Skin Treatments?

The Ultimate Guide to Preventative Skincare Treatments

When it comes to aging, the old adage is true: prevention is better than correction. Enter prejuvenation—the buzzword in modern skincare that’s all about getting ahead of the aging game. Instead of waiting for wrinkles to form or skin to sag, prejuvenation focuses on proactive steps you can take today to keep your skin looking youthful for years to come. Let’s explore the best preventative treatments that combine cutting-edge technology with time-tested wisdom.

What Is Prejuvenation?

Prejuvenation is a proactive approach to skincare that aims to delay the signs of aging before they become pronounced. Think of it as “future-proofing” your skin. This approach is perfect for those in their 20s and 30s who want to maintain a youthful glow and preserve skin health for the long haul.

By addressing the early signs of aging—like fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture—you can keep your skin looking smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Here are the top prejuvenation treatments that dermatologists (and beauty enthusiasts) swear by.

Clear + Brilliant: A Gentle Laser Refresh

If you’re looking to rejuvenate your skin without the downtime of more aggressive treatments, Clear + Brilliant might be your new best friend. This nonablative fractional laser targets the early signs of aging by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin. The result? A refreshed, glowing complexion that’s perfect for prejuvenation.

According to Dr. Will Kirby, board-certified dermatologist and chief medical officer of LaserAway, “Punching the holes in your existing skin and helping it heal up does more than just give you a beautiful glow. It irritates, in a very purposeful way, that underlying collagen so it will help maintain that beautiful skin you have for many, many years.”

Why it works: By stimulating collagen production from the inside out, Clear + Brilliant not only improves skin tone and texture but also helps your skin bounce back from daily environmental stressors. It’s a perfect entry-level laser treatment for those looking to maintain that coveted youthful glow.

RF Microneedling: Collagen Banking for the Future

Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling is another powerhouse in the prejuvenation arsenal. By combining traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy, this treatment remodels collagen at deeper levels of the skin, giving you smoother texture and a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Kirby notes, “Skin texture improves and becomes so much smoother after just a few treatments.” That’s because RF Microneedling doesn’t just resurface the skin—it also triggers a powerful healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin to keep skin firm and resilient.

Why it works: RF Microneedling acts like a savings account for your collagen, depositing it now so you can withdraw it later. It’s particularly effective at preventing skin laxity and fine lines, making it a go-to for anyone who wants to maintain their skin’s youthful bounce.

Thermage: Skin Tightening Without Surgery

For those looking for a one-and-done treatment that delivers gradual, natural-looking results, Thermage is a top choice. This minimally-invasive procedure uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening existing collagen fibers.

“You can expect results from Thermage to show up as early as one month,” says Dr. Kirby. “But optimal benefits manifest themselves at about the six-month mark.” That’s because Thermage triggers a remodeling process that continues to improve skin firmness over time.

Why it works: Thermage is the gold standard for skin tightening without surgery. It’s especially effective on the jawline, cheeks, and around the eyes—areas that tend to show early signs of sagging. With just one treatment, you can enjoy smoother, tighter skin that lasts.

At-Home Skincare: The Daily Dose of Prevention

Professional treatments are powerful, but don’t underestimate the importance of a consistent at-home skincare routine. Clinical-grade products like those from SkinCeuticals (found in all LaserAway clinics) are designed to complement in-office treatments, helping you maintain and enhance your results. Specifically, check out these products that we carry:

A beloved antioxidant serum featuring 15% pure vitamin C, 1% vitamin E, and 0.5% ferulic acid, this powerhouse helps protect against environmental damage while brightening skin tone and improving firmness.

This replenishing cream is formulated with a patented 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio to nourish dry, aging skin and restore the skin’s natural barrier, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

An advanced antioxidant treatment that helps to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging while supporting skin resilience against environmental stressors.

A lightweight, oil-free daily sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while calming and hydrating sensitive or post-procedure skin.

A rich eye cream that targets crow’s feet, dark circles, and puffiness, with a potent blend of antioxidants and peptides to visibly firm, smooth, and brighten the delicate under-eye area.

Key steps to include:

  • Cleansing: Keeps your skin free of impurities that can accelerate aging.

  • Antioxidants: Ingredients like vitamin C neutralize free radicals and prevent damage.

  • Moisturizer: Keeps skin hydrated and supports the barrier function.

  • SPF: Daily sun protection is non-negotiable in the fight against aging.

Why it works: Think of at-home skincare as daily maintenance for your skin’s health. By protecting and nourishing your skin consistently, you’re laying the foundation for any in-office treatments to deliver optimal results.
