Background: Communication concepts relating to prevention and early intervention (P&E) within aesthetic medicine are poorly understood and highly underexplored. However, effective communication is a key criterion for successful outcomes.

Objectives: To provide treatment recommendations for primary prevention and early intervention in individuals with no or minimal signs of aging.
