After 30, three things begin to happen: collagen production decreases by approx. 1% per year, muscle habits create permanent lines, and the skin's ability to retain moisture deteriorates. There is no single "anti-ageing treatment" — different approaches solve different problems.
This pillar guide gives you the overview. For each approach there is an in-depth guide that explains the price, the results and who it is suitable for.
The four main approaches
1. Botox — for movement-related wrinkles
Glabella, forehead, crow's feet. Prevents static lines from deepening. Typically start at age 28–35 as prejuvenation.

2. Profhilo — for skin quality and firmness
A hybrid of high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. Bioremodels the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin. Best for 35+ with noticeably sagging skin.

3. Skin booster — for dryness and fine lines
Restylane Vital and similar. Microinjections of hyaluronic acid that hydrate from within. A good first step for 30–40-year-olds with dry, dull skin.

4. Laser — for pigmentation and texture
IPL, fractional laser, Nd:YAG. Evens out pigmentation spots, sun damage and fine texture. Often overlooked, but gives dramatic results for "photoageing".
