The first signs of ageing often don’t hit all at once with deep wrinkles. Instead, they sneak up slowly — a subtle loss of volume, dullness, fine lines, and skin that just doesn’t bounce back like it used to. If you’re in your late 20s to early 40s, this is the perfect time to take action and invest in treatments that prevent, delay, and even reverse early signs of aging.
At Olivia Cole, we specialise in options designed to rejuvenate your skin, enhance your natural beauty, and give you lasting results. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the top 5 treatments we recommend to keep your skin youthful and glowing.
1. Skin Boosters: Deep Hydration and Collagen Stimulation
Best for: Dull, dehydrated, thin or crepey skin with fine lines
Skin Boosters are an innovative injectable treatment that focuses on restoring your skin’s hydration, elasticity, and texture from within. Skin Boosters work by nourishing the skin’s deeper layers with a powerful blend of hyaluronic acid and amino acids.
How Skin Boosters Work
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in your skin that attracts and retains moisture, keeping skin plump and hydrated. Over time, hyaluronic acid levels drop, leading to dryness and fine lines. Skin Boosters replenish this vital moisture deep in the dermis, while amino acids stimulate the production of collagen and elastin (the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.)
What to Expect
Treatment sessions typically last around 30 minutes
Multiple sessions (usually 1–3) spaced a 4 weeks apart provide optimal results
Gradual improvement in skin texture, hydration, and glow, often noticeable within 10–14 days
Minimal downtime with only slight redness or swelling possible
Benefits of Skin Boosters
Softens fine lines and reduces crepiness.
Restores youthful “bounce” and elasticity
Enhances overall skin radiance and smoothness
2. Micro needling: Stimulating Your Skin’s Natural Repair
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
How Microneedling Works
The microscopic punctures prompt the skin to repair itself by generating new skin cells and collagen fibers. This process can reduce fine lines, improve texture, and fade mild pigmentation or acne scars.
What to Expect
Treatment sessions take about 30–60 minutes
Slight redness or sensitivity immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn
Multiple sessions (typically 3–6) spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended for best results
Benefits of Microneedling
Improves skin texture and firmness
Minimises fine lines and early wrinkles
Enhances absorption of skincare products
3. Polynucleotides: Advanced Skin Regeneration
Polynucleotides (PN) are a cutting-edge injectable treatment that supports skin regeneration by delivering DNA fragments extracted from salmon or other sources. These molecules work by stimulating fibroblast activity, reducing inflammation, and improving skin repair mechanisms.
How Polynucleotides Work
By boosting cellular repair and reducing oxidative stress, these injections help rejuvenate damaged or ageing skin at a cellular level. The treatment improves skin elasticity, reduces redness, and supports hydration.
What to Expect
Treatments take approximately 30 minutes
Typically administered in a series of sessions for cumulative effects
Minimal downtime with mild swelling or redness possible
Benefits of Polynucleotides
Promotes deep skin regeneration and repair
Reduces fine lines and improves elasticity
Soothes sensitive or inflamed skin
4. Preventative Botox: Softening Expression Lines Early
Best for: Dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines
While Botox is often associated with treating established wrinkles, preventative Botox is gaining popularity among younger clients in their late 20s and early 30s. The goal is to relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles before they deepen and become permanent.
How Preventative Botox Works
Small, precise doses of botulinum toxin temporarily reduce muscle activity in targeted areas, smoothing out expression lines while preserving natural facial movement.
What to Expect
Quick treatment sessions lasting 15–20 minutes
Effects visible within 3–7 days, lasting 3–4 months
Treatment is safe and tailored to your facial anatomy
Benefits of Preventative Botox
Softens existing fine lines
Prevents deep creases from forming prematurely
Maintains a natural, rested appearance
5. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): The Non-Surgical Facelift
Best for: Mild skin laxity, sagging jawline, early jowls, and loss of firmness
HIFU is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that mimics the effects of a facelift without surgery. It uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep beneath the skin’s surface and stimulate collagen production in the same foundational layers targeted during surgical lifts.
How HIFU Works
The ultrasound waves heat the skin’s deeper tissues without damaging the surface, triggering your body’s natural healing response. This leads to new collagen formation, tightening and lifting skin over time. HIFU treatments are especially effective around the lower face (jawline and neck) where sagging is most noticeable.
What to Expect
Sessions last between 60–90 minutes, depending on the area treated
No downtime — some mild redness or swelling may occur but resolves quickly
Results develop gradually over 2–3 months as collagen rebuilds
Effects can last 12–18 months or longer with maintenance treatments
Benefits of HIFU
Tightens and firms loose skin naturally
Defines the jawline and lifts the cheeks
Improves overall skin texture and elasticity
Every face is unique, and your treatment plan should be too. We take into account:
Your skin type and current condition
Age and specific aging concerns
Your goals: whether preventative or corrective
Budget and available time for treatments
Desired downtime and expected results
The most effective approach is a combination of treatments tailored over time. This long-term commitment delivers natural, sustainable results and helps your skin age gracefully.
