When we think of aesthetic treatments, we often imagine correcting signs of ageing that have already taken hold — smoothing wrinkles, restoring lost volume, and rejuvenating tired skin. But increasingly, younger patients are choosing a different approach: prejuvenation.
At Dr Anita Dhunna’s clinics in London, Hertfordshire, and Essex, we are seeing a growing trend of individuals in their 20s and 30s embracing subtle, preventative treatments to maintain their youthful appearance for longer. Prejuvenation is about preserving and protecting, not drastically changing. It’s a proactive step towards ageing gracefully, on your own terms.
What Is Prejuvenation?
Prejuvenation refers to the use of aesthetic treatments at an earlier stage — before deeper lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin develop — with the goal of slowing the natural ageing process. It focuses on maintaining skin quality, structure, and vitality through preventative care.
Rather than waiting for concerns to become more noticeable, many patients are opting for gentle, strategically placed treatments to keep their skin looking fresh, firm, and youthful for as long as possible.
Popular Prejuvenation Treatments
At Dr Anita Dhunna’s clinics, we offer a range of FDA-approved treatments ideally suited to younger skin, ensuring results that are subtle, natural, and perfectly aligned with each patient’s features.
Light Botox® (Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections):
Early use of Botox in small, precise doses can prevent dynamic wrinkles — such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet — from becoming etched into the skin. By relaxing these muscles before wrinkles set in, you can maintain a smoother, more youthful complexion over time.
Skin Boosters:
Hydration is key to youthful skin. Skin boosters, such as Profhilo®, are injectable moisturisers that deeply hydrate the skin, improve texture, and stimulate collagen and elastin production. They are ideal for those looking to enhance radiance and prevent the loss of elasticity associated with ageing.
Lip Enhancement (Subtle Volumisation):
For younger patients, lip treatments often focus on enhancing the natural shape and hydration of the lips, rather than adding dramatic volume. A touch of hyaluronic acid filler can create soft, balanced lips that complement your facial features.
Microneedling and Skin Rejuvenation:
Collagen induction treatments such as microneedling encourage the skin’s natural repair processes, maintaining firmness and reducing the early appearance of fine lines.
Why Start So Early?
Starting aesthetic treatments in your 20s or 30s doesn’t mean you’re racing towards change — quite the opposite. Prejuvenation is about slowing visible ageing and keeping your skin in peak condition for as long as possible.
Some key benefits include:
- Preventing deep lines from forming
- Maintaining a youthful facial structure
- Boosting collagen production early
- Preserving natural beauty with subtle, minimal intervention
- Building a personalised skincare and treatment plan that evolves with you
Importantly, prejuvenation treatments are highly individualised. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach, and at Dr Anita Dhunna’s practices, we take the time to understand your concerns and goals, creating a bespoke plan that keeps you looking like the very best version of yourself.

Younger patients often worry that aesthetic treatments might lead to a “frozen” or overdone look. Rest assured, at Dr Anita Dhunna’s clinics, subtlety and artistry are at the heart of everything we do. Our focus is always on enhancing your natural beauty with treatments that are virtually undetectable — except for the compliments you’ll receive.
