🪞 Smooth Moves: Can You Really Stop Wrinkles Before They Start?
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to prevent wrinkles before they appear, you’re not alone. More and more people in their 20s and 30s are exploring preventative wrinkle treatments as part of their skincare routine. At Rewa Aesthetics, we believe in helping you make informed choices about your skin — whether you’re maintaining, enhancing, or simply planning ahead.
Why Do Wrinkles Form?
Wrinkles naturally develop over time due to repeated facial expressions. Think smiling, squinting, frowning, combined with genetic and environmental factors.
Sun exposure, smoking, alcohol, dehydration, and even the side you sleep on can all influence how early fine lines start to appear.
Some people notice expression lines in their 20s, while others don’t until much later. The difference often comes down to lifestyle habits and skin type.
What Are Preventative Anti-Wrinkle Treatments?
Preventative treatments use small amounts of anti-wrinkle injectables to temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing repetitive movements that lead to expression lines.
This helps prevent fine lines from becoming permanent wrinkles — especially in areas like:
Frown lines (“the elevens”) between the brows
Forehead lines (from raising the eyebrows)
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
The goal isn’t to freeze your face, it’s to create a softer, more relaxed look that preserves natural expression while slowing down visible aging.
Before starting any treatment, it’s important to book a consultation with a qualified clinician to discuss your skin goals, potential side effects, and what to expect from treatment.
Too Soon or Smart Skincare Strategy?
Starting anti-wrinkle treatments early can help prevent deeper lines from forming, but it’s not for everyone. The main considerations are cost, maintenance, and individual need.
Results typically last around three to four months, meaning most clients choose three sessions per year for consistent results.
Some view it as an unnecessary expense when lines are still minimal, while others see it as an investment in future skin health, preventing the need for more intensive treatments later in life.
When it comes to deciding what is right for you, get professional advice from a Registered Nurse who will discuss all the pro’s and con’s of the treatment to allow you to make a fully informed decision prior to going ahead or not. You should never feel obliged to go ahead on the day.
Alternative skin treatments like peels or needling and/or investing in cosmeceutical skincare products such as The Skincare Company matched to your skin goals may be a wiser investment for some.
