What Age Should You Start Considering Facial Aesthetic Treatments?

Most aesthetic providers agree that if you are in your 20s or 30s, this is the ideal time to start thinking about facial aesthetic treatments. At this stage, collagen production begins to slow, and staying ahead of fine lines and wrinkles now is easier than correcting them later.  

That said, it's never too late to start, and patients of almost every age can see meaningful results with the right approach. At Joanna Claustro DMD & Associates in Ashburn, VA, Dr. Joanna Claustro helps patients build a treatment plan that fits where their skin is now. Call today to schedule a consultation and learn more about our advanced technologies, like the Opus Plasma. 

Who benefits from facial aesthetic treatments? 

Almost anyone who wants to be proactive about their skin health before small concerns become more significant is an ideal candidate for facial aesthetic treatments. Textured skin, uneven tone, sun damage, or early wrinkles are just a few examples of issues you may be facing now. 

During a skin assessment, Dr. Claustro will evaluate your complexion and ensure your skin is healthy enough to undergo a skin tightening or skin resurfacing treatment. We also want to ensure that you have realistic expectations about results. 

What is the best age to start treatment? 

The answer is that it depends on your skin and your goals. Most patients benefit from starting facial aesthetic treatments in their late 20s to early 30s. Starting at this stage means you're maintaining healthy skin rather than correcting significant damage. That said, patients in their 40s, 50s, and beyond can still see meaningful improvements from certain procedures. 

Opus Plasma for skin tightening and resurfacing 

Opus Plasma is one of the most advanced options available for facial aesthetic treatments in Ashburn, VA. This technology uses fractional plasma energy to resurface the outer layers while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers. 

Plasma skin resurfacing targets surface-level concerns, while plasma skin tightening works beneath the surface to firm and lift. These options are great for fine lines and wrinkles, textured skin, enlarged pores, and more. During an appointment, Dr. Claustro will recommend the right approach. 

Maintaining your results over time 

How long your results last depends on several factors, including your age, skin type, sun exposure habits, and how consistently you follow a maintenance routine. Most people achieve optimal outcomes with an initial series of treatments followed by periodic touch-ups. 

Sun protection is one of the most important ways to protect your investment, since UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown and undoes the progress your skin has made. Staying hydrated, using quality skin care products, and scheduling regular follow-up appointments at Joanna Claustro DMD & Associates contribute to keeping your results looking their best long term.
