What is the ideal age to start?
There is no fixed age, but rather... right biological momentStarting from 25 the 30 yearsour body begins to naturally reduce collagen production.This makes this age group ideal for thinking about prevention.
What to consider:
-
Active preventionBetween the ages of 25 and 35, it's possible to build up a "collagen reserve" and delay the onset of sagging skin.
-
Early interventionFrom ages 35 to 45, the goal becomes to restore firmness and prevent worsening of sagging.
-
RestructuringFrom ages 45 to 60+, the focus is reorganize the architecture of the skin and treat wrinkles, furrows and loss of firmness
This is one of the biggest advantages of the biostimulator: It doesn't deliver immediate and artificial results, but rather continuous improvement over time., preserving the naturalness and longevity of the results.
