What sets us apart
Holistic approach to slow the signs of ageing
Prevention is the best tool to fight the signs of ageing before they appear. At Grupo Pedro Jaén, we’ve developed a unique approach based on the concept of prejuvenation: caring for and treating the skin from an early stage to maintain skin health and a youthful appearance. We combine advanced technologies with personalised treatments, achieving natural results that respect each patient’s individual characteristics.
Personalised diagnosis
Chemical peels
Preventive laser
Facial mesotherapy
Neuromodulators
Radiofrequency
Personalised diagnosis
The first step towards effective facial rejuvenation is an accurate diagnosis. As dermatologists, we start from the premise that the priority is for skin to be healthy. Therefore, before we apply any therapy or product for preventive rejuvenation, we first treat any underlying skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, sensitive skin, etc.
Skincare routine and treatments
Our preventive facial rejuvenation dermatologists analyse the health of the skin, identifying conditions such as acne, rosacea or hyperpigmentation that need to be treated before any preventive procedure is started. We also assess factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle and hydration levels, ensuring that the skin is in optimal condition for rejuvenating treatments.
Treatment plans tailored to age and skin type
We design personalised treatment plans according to the patient’s age, skin quality and aesthetic goals. From young people with sensitive skin to people with incipient signs of ageing, we adjust each treatment to guarantee the process is gradual, natural and effective. This approach avoids over-treatment and favours prevention, ensuring harmonious and lasting results.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels are skin treatments that consist of the application of chemical exfoliating agents that exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin, stimulating its renewal. Although they are usually associated with mature skin, they also offer multiple benefits in young patients, especially for treating imperfections typical of this stage of life.
Acne treatment
Chemical peels are most commonly used on young skin to treat active acne and its scars, as peels help to unclog pores, control sebum production and improve skin texture. They are also effective in fading post-inflammatory marks and evening out skin tone, very useful in cases of residual hyperpigmentation.
Sebum-regulating effect and even skin
For skin with enlarged pores or an oily tendency, peels help to refine the skin’s appearance, achieve a smoother, more even skin surface and improve skin radiance. In addition, by stimulating cell regeneration, they help to maintain healthy skin and prevent premature ageing.
Preventive laser
The use of low-energy lasers makes it possible to address early-stage concerns and improve skin quality without long recovery times, making this an ideal option for both preventing ageing and progressively enhancing the skin.
Clear & Brilliant: laser therapy for young skin
This treatment acts on the superficial layers of the skin, reducing dilated pores, improving texture and enhancing luminosity. It is ideal for patients between the ages of 25 and 35 who are looking to keep their skin fresh and even with a minimal recovery period. By stimulating cell regeneration, it prevents the appearance of fine lines and improves the absorption of topical active ingredients.
Treatment of active acne
Laser is an excellent complement to medication in managing active acne. It helps control inflammation and prevent the formation of marks and scars, reducing the severity and consequences of the outbreak. In addition, it promotes faster skin recovery and optimises the results of medical treatment, especially in moderate cases or cases with a risk of persistent scarring.
Facial mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a key preventative treatment that enhances hydration and delivers the nutrients needed to strengthen the skin from within, delaying the visible signs of ageing and promoting a healthy, glowing appearance.
Hydration and nutrition from within
Through superficial microinjections, we administer a combination of vitamins, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid that revitalises the skin, improves its elasticity and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. The treatment can be personalised, enabling it to be adapted to each skin type and to provide specific benefits according to individual needs.
Stimulation of collagen and elastin production
The injection process itself activates fibroblasts, which are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, essential for maintaining firm, elastic skin. With regular sessions, the skin becomes denser, more hydrated and resistant to premature ageing. In addition, mesotherapy enhances the action of other treatments such as lasers or peels, optimising their results and prolonging their benefits over time.
Neuromodulators
Injected neuromodulators can modulate muscle contraction, making them the treatment of choice for many non-age-related aesthetic concerns. The treatment is ideal for enhancing features without undergoing more invasive procedures.
Preventive treatment of expression wrinkles
Neuromodulators help to refine facial expression by softening the movements responsible for wrinkles between the eyebrows and across the upper third of the face, preventing the premature formation of deep lines and wrinkles. They also prevent the wrinkles associated with hyperkinetic gestures, in which the muscles contract faster than normal, or with hypertonic gestures, in which the muscles never fully relax.
Other uses in young patients
This treatment is used to correct other aesthetic concerns unrelated to ageing, such as a gummy smile or certain facial asymmetries caused by the overactivity of specific muscles, enhancing overall facial harmony.
Radiofrequency
From an early age, radiofrequency helps prevent sagging and maintain skin firmness through a process of controlled thermal stimulation. It’s a non-invasive option that activates the skin’s natural regeneration mechanisms.
Encouraging youthful skin firmness
The treatment emits radiofrequency waves that heat the deep layers of the skin, promoting the production of new collagen and improving elasticity and firmness. It can be applied to the face and neck to maintain a youthful appearance without the need for invasive procedures. By improving blood circulation and tissue oxygenation, it also contributes to a more luminous and uniform skin.
Maintenance
Radiofrequency offers progressive results, accumulating benefits with periodic sessions. Its tightening effect helps to define the facial contours and prevent loss of firmness. Combined with other treatments, such as mesotherapy or focused ultrasound, it optimises their effects and prolongs the benefits of preventive rejuvenation.
What it is, when to start and treatment options
A guide to understanding preventive facial rejuvenation
In modern societies, expectations go far beyond meeting basic healthcare needs. When this principle is applied to health, it becomes clear that as science and medicine have successfully addressed the most serious and life-threatening conditions, attention has increasingly shifted towards therapies and strategies that allow people to enjoy a better quality of life and to age in a healthy and active way.
As a result, the concept of health has evolved to include wellbeing. At Grupo Pedro Jaén, while our primary objective is to help patients maintain healthy skin, we also place great importance on ensuring that they feel comfortable and confident with their appearance.
Achieving this goal requires introducing the concept of prevention. This involves adopting healthy lifestyle habits early on, but also implementing timely medical interventions aimed at preventing or minimising the impact of age-related skin changes.
The concept of prejuvenation
Given that the passage of time is inevitable, it might be assumed that there is little that can be done in a dermatology consultation to prevent the signs of ageing. However, this is far from the case. For several years now, Grupo Pedro Jaén has been working within the framework of what is known as prejuvenation — a term used to describe the approach of caring for the skin and applying selected medical aesthetic treatments at an early stage in order to delay visible signs of ageing.
From a dermatological perspective, it is essential to start from the premise that healthy skin is the foundation. Any preventive treatment or cosmetic strategy must therefore be preceded by the diagnosis and management of underlying skin conditions such as acne, rosacea or sensitive skin.
Once skin health has been stabilised, personalised treatments and skincare can be introduced to protect the skin and provide active ingredients that not only hydrate and support the skin barrier, but also include sun protection to reduce ultraviolet radiation damage — the main cause of photoageing — antioxidants to counteract free radicals, exfoliating acids to promote skin renewal, and biological or laser-based therapies to stimulate the body’s natural regenerative mechanisms. All interventions are selected according to each patient’s individual needs.
Ultimately, the aim is not to alter facial appearance or expression, but to combine medical procedures in a way that achieves harmonious, natural and balanced results through gentle, carefully designed protocols that deliver meaningful benefits.
“In most cases, the best results are achieved by combining different therapeutic options and acting at an early stage.”
When to start preventive facial rejuvenation and main approaches
Preventive facial rejuvenation should begin in childhood and continue throughout adolescence, adulthood and later life. Initiating early, well-planned anti-ageing care from the age of 25–30, using moderate, minimally invasive treatments tailored to specific areas after careful assessment, allows for particularly effective long-term results.
During childhood
Skin care should begin in childhood with sun protection. This is a fundamental measure to prevent sunburn, which is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer later in life. It is well established that the skin has a form of “memory” and that cumulative ultraviolet damage and sunburns experienced before the age of eighteen are directly related to the development of skin cancer in adulthood. In addition, sun exposure is a primary cause of photoageing — a combination of wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of luminosity that leads to premature skin ageing.
During adolescence
At this stage of life, it is essential to establish proper cleansing and hydration routines in order to maintain healthy skin, which is the basis of an attractive appearance. Cleansing is a fundamental step in any facial care routine at any age, while hydration helps preserve the integrity of the skin barrier. The skin barrier, or hydrolipidic mantle, prevents transepidermal water loss and protects the body from the penetration of potentially harmful external agents.
Around the age of 25–30
Basic preventive anti-ageing strategies should be introduced around the age of 25–30. Although this may initially seem early, it is in fact the optimal moment to act, as natural skin regeneration mechanisms begin to slow down at this stage. Supporting these processes helps maintain higher skin quality, slows deterioration and preserves a fresh, youthful appearance for longer.
When we refer to intervention in the late twenties or early thirties, we are not suggesting invasive procedures or high product volumes. Rather, the focus is on addressing early signs that may indicate future concerns, such as expression lines, acne marks, scars or early skin laxity, as well as correcting non-age-related features that can be safely and effectively treated in a facial aesthetics consultation, such as nasal irregularities, lip asymmetries or a gummy smile.
Preventive rejuvenation treatments
Within preventive facial rejuvenation, particular importance is given to treatments aimed at renewing the skin surface and to regenerative procedures designed to stimulate improvement from within.
Gentle chemical peels
By applying masks formulated with chemical exfoliating agents, it is possible to gently exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin, promoting renewal and achieving a clean, fresh and luminous appearance in just a few minutes. These treatments also help soften fine lines that precede deeper wrinkles, deeply cleanse the pores—making them less visible—and reduce early pigmentation changes that may appear at a young age.
Depending on the condition and needs of the skin, these peels can be complemented with superficial mesotherapy. This combination enhances skin quality not only through the microneedling effect itself, which activates the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, but also by delivering active ingredients directly to nourish the skin, increase density and improve tone.
Microneedling
Microneedling involves passing a device equipped with fine needles over the face to create microchannels in the dermis, triggering the skin’s repair mechanisms and increasing collagen and elastin production through controlled micro-injury. The procedure is completed by applying vitamin C or hyaluronic acid through gentle massage, facilitating deeper penetration of these active ingredients. This treatment is used to enhance skin luminosity and smoothness, reduce acne scars and marks, and achieve a more even skin tone.
Low-intensity laser
Low-intensity laser treatments are indicated for acne, including its inflammatory stages, as well as for the marks left by comedones. Early intervention is essential to minimise and soften scars before they become established. Laser therapy also improves the appearance of thickened skin, enlarged pores and prominent facial telangiectasias, contributing to a more uniform and refined complexion.
Radiofrequency and ultrasound
These treatments are particularly suitable for addressing skin laxity from its earliest stages. When applied regularly as part of maintenance sessions within our Beauty and Wellness Unit, they help keep the epidermis clean and hydrated, promote firmer and more resilient skin, and slow down the ageing process. In addition, these technologies have variants specifically designed to treat both facial and body skin laxity.
Treatment of expression lines
The infiltration of small doses of a neuromodulating medication that relaxes the muscles of the upper third of the face (forehead, glabellar area and crow’s feet) helps to retrain facial expressions at an early stage and prevents the formation of expression lines that may give the face a tired, sad or angry appearance. This approach is also particularly useful for preventing wrinkles associated with hyperkinetic facial gestures—where muscles contract excessively—or hypertonic expressions, in which muscles fail to fully relax.
Body treatments
Both our Body Aesthetics Unit and our Beauty and Wellness Unit offer treatments to address body contour concerns at any age. Technologies such as radiofrequency, ultrasound and lymphatic drainage therapies help improve oxygenation, enhance circulation, promote tissue drainage and prevent fluid retention—factors that contribute to a more sculpted and even silhouette.
The aim of preventive rejuvenation treatments is to intervene early in the factors that contribute to skin ageing, slowing down this process and delaying the appearance of visible signs as much as possible. This is always based on the understanding that prejuvenation treatments do not replace essential skincare measures such as sun protection, cleansing and hydration, nor should they be used as a substitute for healthy lifestyle habits.
