We often see many people in their late 30s and as old as their 70s, who have left it too late, such that, when they finally come in, the cost to fix everything would be too great, if it was even possible, and most likely would involve surgery.

So our advice to all our patients, if they are keen to age well, is to start early, and to commit to regular treatments with a trusted clinic and clinician, to hold you accountable sooner than later. Over time, these treatments will stand you in good stead, so that as ageing-related changes accelerate, you won’t feel it in your wallet as much as you might if you had done nothing.

That aside, in order for us to consider full face rejuvenation on anyone, we strongly advise and recommend some basics be in place, without which, everything else is moot:

• Daily spf, summer or winter, everyday, SPF 30 or 50 and preferably reapplied around midday.
• Quit smoking
• Drink water
• Eat better most days
• Commit to sun protection all year around – sunhat, sunglasses, long sleeve clothing and seeking shade all year around.

Then once these basics are in place, or while they are being implemented, we can proceed with what we refer to as “face renovation” because for most people who commit, this is the
extent of work involved and may consist of a many factor approach, involving multiple modalities, outlined below.
