What is prejuvenation?
“Prejuvenation is a preventive protocol that includes a good skincare routine and non-surgical skincare treatments, which help you achieve your skin goals as they boost collagen, prevent pigmentation, reduce open pores and give you anti-ageing benefits. It includes a balanced skincare routine that protects the skin barrier combined with certain treatments that target skin thinning, laxity, fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation, usually based on the skin concern based on which we design a treatment plan to ensure that you look refreshed and a better version of yourself. All these treatments will give you the most natural results,” Dr Deepthi Atmakuri, dermatologist and founder of Clinical Derm, Hyderabad, shared in an interview with HT Lifestyle.
