JAKARTA - Don't have to wait for the old and full of wrinkles to rejuvenate the skin, because this process can be done as soon as possible once someone is uncomfortable with the skin condition.

"When you are aware of your skin condition and feel uncomfortable, you may start treatment," said Bamed's Skin and Gender Specialist Dr. Melawati Hermawan, Sp.KK, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 7.

The process of rejuvenating the skin can be done if the skin has started to provide signals or symptoms of premature aging. Signs and symptoms of premature aging include dry and rough skin, wrinkles, spots, sagging skin, large pores.

"How severe and how fast the aging process for each person is is not the same considering that there are internal factors in the form of genetic factors that cause biological variations in each individual," he said.

Therefore, rejuvenation of the skin can be done differently in each individual.

"Rejuvenation of the skin may be done if the signs and symptoms of premature aging are very clear and disturbing to a person, and are mature enough to understand the explanation given regarding the rejuvenation actions that will be taken and can provide consent, so actions may be taken".

He explained that productive age has a age range of 15-64 years. In this age range, it is possible for a person to be able to work and support himself with the income earned from his work.

However, along with the increasing responsibility and increasing work pressure, this can lead to psychological stress that can accelerate the process of premature aging, such as smoother wrinkles, smoother face, and so on.

On the other hand, the field of work that requires a person to do more outdoor activities of course increases the risk of aging due to excess sunlight.

However, that does not mean that those who work more indoors are safe from this aging process because blue light exposure from computer screens or room lights can also cause the aging process in the form of skin tones to become uneven until the emergence of spots.

Therefore, rejuvenation of the skin is not only needed when a person is old, but can also be considered for individuals at this productive age.

Taking precautions from the early aging process will be much better than treating it, for that action for skin rejuvenation should be carried out as early as possible if it is deemed necessary.

Skin care options that can be done at productive age include non-aggressive actions such as giving special screening creams, peeling, pigment lasers, to more aggressive treatments that can lead to longer downtimes, including fractional lasers and planting yarn.

"The choice of treatment will depend on the condition and needs of the skin, the budget that each individual has, as well as the preferences of each doctor," he concluded.
