Your anti-ageing calendar: what to do in your 30s, 40s and 50s

A decade-by-decade anti-ageing plan for Indian skin: prevention, maintenance and restoration, from Dr Amit Karkhanis.

Short answerAnti-ageing tends to work better as a calendar rather than one-off treatments. In your 30s, focus on prevention: sun protection, pigmentation control and early collagen support. In your 40s, add anti-wrinkle injections and tightening. In your 50s and beyond, restore volume and lift, often by combining treatments.

Your 30s: prevention

  • Daily sunscreen and a retinoid-based routine
  • Pigmentation control with Q-Switch toning or peels
  • Skin boosters for hydration and glow
  • Early anti-wrinkle treatment only if lines are deepening

Your 40s: maintenance

  • Anti-wrinkle injections every 3 – 4 months
  • Yearly HIFU for lift
  • Fractional laser for texture and fine lines
  • Subtle filler where volume has dropped

50s and beyond: restoration

  • Combined lifting (HIFU, threads) and volume restoration
  • Deeper resurfacing for sun damage
  • Hands, neck and décolletage

The principle

Small, regular steps keep you looking like yourself, only better rested, rather than looking "done". See anti-ageing treatments.
