For many, the 30s can be a time of significant change, especially for skin. It’s the age at which some go through major life changes, such as pregnancy, while still handling other concerns, such as adult acne. “Your hormones are starting to change, and you might notice more changes—skin becomes thinner and more hyperpigmented, sometimes with broken capillaries,” says Miami board-certified dermatologist Dr. Deborah Longwill<\/a>. “So all the procedures we do prevent skin from looking like that.”<\/p>

As a result, the procedures get a little heftier in terms of cost and downtime, and the strategy is now less about prevention and more about early correction than it was in your 20s<\/a>. The upside? Sticking with a good routine now will still pay off later. Here, dermatologists share the key treatments to consider once you hit your 30s.<\/p>

1. Fraxel Dual<\/h2>

Whether you’re looking to address acne scarring or sun damage, Fraxel Dual<\/a> can do it all. The most common Fraxel laser (of three) found in dermatology offices, it pairs two lasers in one treatment, which gives it added versatility. “The beautiful thing about the Fraxel is that you can dial into less surface area, depending on the patient,” says Dr. Longwill. “If you have acne scarring you want to address, you can dial in deeper. If you want to target large pores, you can keep it more superficial. It just depends on what you’re aiming for.”<\/p>

Another advantage? While it’s on the pricier end of the spectrum for this age group, most people don’t need many sessions to see an improvement. “Unless there is significant sun damage, only one or two treatments is needed to reverse sun damage, remove age spots, and improve the health of your skin,” says New York City board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele S. Green<\/a>.<\/p>

2. Fillers<\/h2>

Fillers—which, true to their name, actually fill skin with volume—are worth investing in now. By including dermal fillers<\/a> in your treatment, says Dr. Longwill, “you’re building on your 20s—so it’s in addition to your HydraFacials and your Botox<\/a>.”<\/p>

They’re a worthwhile addition at this age, she says, “since you might lose more volume in your cheeks and hollowing around the eyes.” On top of that, your neuromodulators might need to expand to other areas as well; if you’ve gotten them to address “11” lines in the past, for instance, then it may be time to tackle crow’s-feet too.<\/p>
