Anti ageing is often misunderstood. For some, it feels intimidating or associated with dramatic changes. In reality, modern anti ageing is about supporting skin quality, strengthening the skin, and building a plan that helps you embrace natural skin ageing with confidence.

At Vitality Laser Skin, anti ageing is never about chasing perfection. It is about maintaining healthy, resilient skin that continues to look and feel like you, just well supported over time.

The question is not about age. It is about what your skin is telling you.

Anti ageing is about skin quality, not a number

There is no correct age to start anti ageing treatments. Some people notice changes in their early 30s, while others begin exploring options later. What matters most is how your skin behaves, how it responds to your current routine, and what your long term goals are.

Ageing is influenced by many factors, including:

• cumulative sun exposure
• genetics
• hormones
• lifestyle and stress
• skin barrier health
• collagen and elastin changes over time

A preventative approach focuses on slowing visible changes and supporting skin strength before concerns become harder to manage.

Early signs your skin may benefit from anti ageing support

You may not notice deep wrinkles first. Often, early changes are subtle and gradual.

1) Skin looking less vibrant or uneven

Skin may appear dull, less bright or more uneven in tone. This can be an early sign that skin renewal is slowing and sun exposure is impacting clarity.

If uneven tone is part of your concern, explore:

2) Fine lines becoming more visible

Fine lines or dehydration lines can develop into deeper wrinkles if left unsupported. Supporting hydration and barrier health often makes a noticeable difference to early fine lines and overall skin smoothness.

3) Changes in firmness and elasticity

Over time, collagen and elastin naturally decline. You may notice reduced firmness, subtle laxity, or changes around the jawline, cheeks or neck.

4) Skin becoming more sensitive or reactive

As the skin barrier changes, skin may become more reactive to products, weather or treatments that were previously well tolerated. This often signals the need for barrier support and a more tailored approach.

5) Makeup not sitting as smoothly

Makeup settling into lines or clinging to dry patches can indicate texture changes or dehydration. Improving skin hydration, barrier health and gentle resurfacing can help restore smoother application.

Why prevention supports more natural results

One of the biggest misconceptions around anti ageing is waiting until changes feel significant.

A preventative approach allows you to:

• support collagen and skin strength early
• maintain barrier health
• reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
• keep skin quality more consistent over time

Clients who take a gradual, preventative approach often feel their results look more natural and age appropriate, rather than feeling like they are constantly correcting concerns.

Foundations of an effective anti ageing plan

Daily SPF

Sun exposure is one of the strongest contributors to premature ageing. Daily SPF helps protect collagen, reduce pigmentation risk and support overall skin health.

Barrier support

A strong barrier improves hydration, reduces sensitivity and helps skin respond better to active ingredients and professional treatments.

Which professional treatments support anti ageing?

At Vitality Laser Skin, treatments are chosen based on your individual skin assessment, your skin barrier health, and your personal skin goals of what you are wanting to achieve.

There is no one size fits all approach. Your clinician will consider your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure and tolerance when creating your plan.

LED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy is often used to support skin recovery, calm visible redness and complement collagen focused treatment plans. It is commonly included as a supportive treatment across different stages of ageing.

Laser and light based treatments

Laser and light based treatments may support skin texture, tone, firmness and overall skin quality. Timing and treatment choice are guided by your clinician, particularly during summer months when UV exposure is higher.

Peels and gentle resurfacing

Professionally selected peels can help improve texture, brightness and skin renewal. Your clinician will recommend the appropriate type and strength based on your skin condition and the season.

When is the right time to start?

Many people benefit from an anti ageing plan when:

• they notice early changes in skin quality

• their skincare routine no longer delivers the same results

• they want a long term, preventative approach

• they want guidance rather than guessing

If you are asking the question, it is often a sign that your skin is ready for support.

Start with a skin consultation

The most effective way to begin is with a professional skin assessment. A VISIA Skin Consultation allows your clinician to evaluate:

• skin quality and texture
• early signs of ageing
• barrier health
• pigmentation risk
• the most suitable treatment pathway for your goals
