How To Future-Proof Your Face Without Toxin or Filler

When it comes to the best preventive tweakments (if any) to have in your twenties and thirties, the traditional debate has been around toxin injections, especially ‘Baby Botox’. However, for the best results, you might want to consider ‘future-proofing your face’ too. This approach, with its focus on tweakments that non-invasively boost skin quality, to minimise signs of premature ageing without downtime or compromising facial movement, is trending for a reason. Here’s why… 

What is future-proofing?

As the name suggests, future-proofing your face is all about protecting and prolonging your skin’s health and quality so that you can keep premature signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, at bay for longer. Instead of actively adding to your facial contours (like dermal filler); focusing on taking something away (as is the approach with wrinkle-reducing toxin injections); or aggressively wounding the skin to stimulate repair (which occurs with traditional laser-based rejuvenation), the emerging trend for future-proofing works to subtly – and most importantly non-invasively – support and boost your skin’s overall appearance over time. The aim: keep deep-set wrinkles, sun damage and acne scarring to a minimum, for a smoother, clearer complexion.

A particularly popular and effective approach for future-proofing is to tackle sources and signs of inflammation in your skin, which has been increasingly proven to cause premature ageing.

What tweakment should you look to for ‘future-proofing’ your skin?

Non-invasive laser treatments are leading the way in terms of ‘future-proofing’ tweakments. These clever devices aim to treat skin ageing at a cellular level, but do so non-invasively and non-ablatively, meaning without compromising or sensitising the skin surface. BYONIK is one such example, and while experiencing it is akin to a luxury facial, your results measure up in terms targeting fine lines, inflammation and dehydration.

Unlike traditional heat-based lasers, the BYONIK device uses a unique Pulse Triggered Laser (PTL), which delivers ‘cold’ LLLT (low-level laser therapy) energy into your skin. More specifically, with the help of a pulse oximeter sensor, the device does so in sync with your pulse and skin cell breathing cycle, meaning it can actually adjust its frequency to target your skin cells at the optimal moment for maximum cellular response. Then, aided by the laser’s pairing with a deep skin cleanse, a BYONIK PURITY enzyme peel and a proprietary hyaluronic acid gel, the treatment floods your skin with a triple boost of energy, hydration and nutrients that penetrates deeply through the layers.

The result: long-lasting skin hydration, decreased inflammation, and better-supported skin healing and repair, leading to reduced signs of ageing over time.

How exactly does BYONIK ‘future-proof’ your skin?

You can read more about the science behind BYONIK in our tweakment guide, but, in simple terms, the laser delivers coherent photons into the skin, which are directly absorbed into the mitochondria of the cells. As well as triggering an overall increase in oxygen/nutrient transport to and from your skin cells, this has an energising action which non-invasively kick-starts skin cell activity, including increasing growth factor levels, collagen and elastin production, reducing inflammation, and enhancing micro-circulation.

Most excitingly for those looking to ‘future-proof’ their skin, BYONIK is specifically designed to reduce the effect of key agers of the skin. That includes protecting against cellular inflammation and helping repair telomere fragmentation so cells can continue to replicate efficiently, leading to improved skin quality. Plus, the device can limit the effect of glycation (when sugar reacts with proteins, such as collagen, in the skin, leading to wrinkles and age spots); and oxidation, by boosting antioxidant activity and helping the skin resist the negative effects of UV.

What makes BYONIK particularly exciting as a ‘future-proofing’ treatment?

Perhaps most impressively, BYONIK achieves great results even on highly-compromised, inflamed skin, including active acne, rosacea and eczema – providing a solution where traditionally there hasn’t been one. That means that having a preexisting skin condition doesn’t have to mean you can’t ‘future-proof’ against other concerns such as premature skin wrinkling, pigmentation, or acne scarring.

It’s also unique because it doesn’t rely on thermal or mechanical injury for a wound-healing response and skin improvement, while still providing a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores, scars and pigmentation. In fact, BYONIK is completely non-invasive and non-traumatic, meaning there’s no pain and zero downtime; it shouldn’t even leave any redness. After one 45 – 60 minute treatment, you can see results for up to a month, with monthly maintenance appointments recommended thereafter.
