Rejuvenation
A broad clinical and marketing term describing the restoration of a more youthful appearance to skin or facial features through aesthetic interventions.
Full Definition
In aesthetic dermatology copy, 'rejuvenation' functions as both a clinical descriptor (skin rejuvenation, facial rejuvenation) and a marketing term. Editors should be alert to its overuse and imprecision: it should be qualified by a treatment modality or anatomical area where possible (e.g., 'laser skin rejuvenation' rather than simply 'rejuvenation'). In clinical publications, it is preferable to use specific outcome language (e.g., 'reduction in rhytide depth', 'improved skin texture') rather than the vague term 'rejuvenation'. The British English spelling 'rejuvenation' is standard; the variant 'rejuventation' is a common typographical error to watch for.
Usage
Usage note: Flag overuse in clinical copy. Prefer specific outcome or modality language in peer-reviewed contexts. Watch for misspelling 'rejuventation'.
