Millennials represent a growing segment of the population that requires aesthetic treatments. Commonly, these individuals seek to undergo minimally invasive procedures to achieve ‘prejuvenation’ in order to delay the signs of aging because these procedures offer good aesthetic outcomes without the downtime and cost associated with more invasive options.

Millennials, or individuals born between 1981 and 1996, are fast becoming an important and significant segment of patients seeking elective aesthetic interventions. A unique attribute of this group is their widespread exposure to social media and digital influencer culture, which has a deep fixation on image consciousness. As a result of this pressure, many millennials would like to achieve an aspirational version of themselves and consequently, seek cosmetic treatment for structural imperfections of the face. Often, they undergo minimally invasive procedures to achieve ‘prejuvenation’ a term coined to define the prevention of aging through the process of rejuvenation – that is, treatment used to delay the signs of aging. These procedures, indeed, allow them to achieve good aesthetic outcomes with the advantages of short recovery times and relative affordability of the products and procedures.

Prejuvenation is often sought as preventative treatment by millennials and is believed to address the early onset of aesthetic concerns that otherwise do not normally manifest in younger patients. Services requested may range from skin resurfacing for treatment of sunspots and wrinkles, to neuromodulation for dynamic wrinkles and volume and ptosis correction with soft tissue fillers. Among the most common of aesthetic concerns in millennials is hypermelanosis or hyperpigmentation. This condition can be acquired after skin injuries or cutaneous inflammation, the use of certain medications, hormones, as well as inflammatory skin diseases such as acne. Regardless of the causes and extent, hypermelanosis can have a major psychosocial impact on patient’s quality of life and bring about emotional and psychological distress. Millennials with facial hypermelanosis resort to using maquillage or heavy make-up to conceal imperfections.
