What Is Collagen Banking? When Should You Start Preventive Aesthetics?

Collagen banking is part of the latest preventative aesthetics trend we are seeing. People in their 20s and 30s are investing in their skin earlier to help maintain collagen levels and slow down the ageing process before it becomes visible.

From your mid-20s onwards, collagen begins to naturally decline — a protein responsible for keeping your skin smooth and firm.

This is why many people are starting to do collagen banking early on so they can take a proactive approach to ageing and help their skin maintain its youthful appearance.

What Are Preventive Aesthetics?

Preventive aesthetics are very popular at the moment. They are essentially treatments that help minimise signs of ageing before they become more visible.

The rise of preventative aesthetics presents a shift in society where young people are becoming more concerned about ageing well rather than trying to prevent ageing altogether.

Most of these treatments are collagen stimulators, which help to maintain skin quality and support its natural structure.

When To Start Collagen Banking?

The majority of people start collagen banking in their late 20s when collagen production naturally starts to decline. The point of collagen banking is to help you maintain and boost your collagen levels before loss occurs.

That being said, collagen stimulator treatments are still effective when people are in their 30s, helping smooth out fine lines and restoring plumpness.

What Are The Benefits Of Preventive Aesthetics?

Preventative aesthetics have many benefits. Apart from the obvious early anti-ageing benefits, they also have these advantages:

• More natural looking – These treatments give natural results, focusing on refreshing your features rather than altering them.
• Non-invasive – Treatments use advanced technology, which means they are non-invasive with little downtime.
• Prevention over correction – It is easier to maintain youthful skin than reverse later signs of ageing.
• Suitable for everyone – Since preventative aesthetics treatments are mostly gentle, the majority of them are compatible with all skin types.

Are Wrinkles in the Early 20s Normal?

It is normal to notice wrinkles in your early 20s, which can become more noticeable over time as collagen declines. Most people start to notice their expression lines becoming more prominent, which are caused by facial movement.

Keeping the skin healthy and hydrated at this stage can help your skin stay more resilient before deeper lines start to form.

Early Anti-Ageing Skincare Tips

Daily skincare can play a big part in early anti-ageing and maintaining healthy skin.

Some tips we recommend are:

• Wear SPF daily – UV can cause collagen breakdown, and wearing SPF 30 or 50 can help protect your skin.
• Keep hydrated – This helps your skin retain its elasticity and plumpness.
• Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol – Both of these can accelerate skin ageing.
• Keep a healthy diet – To support natural collagen production and radiance from within.
• Use skincare with active ingredients – Skincare that has active ingredients such as retinoids can help support skin renewal.
