What are The Most Popular Facial Aesthetic Treatments Currently
Several popular facial aesthetic treatments are available, and many are minimally invasive. These treatments include injectables, laser treatments, and procedures that focus on collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.
Popular Facial Aesthetic Treatments:
Dermal Fillers: These are gel-like substances, often made with hyaluronic acid, that are injected beneath the skin to restore volume, lift sagging skin, and diminish facial lines. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are used to smooth out lines and restore volume. They are ideal for treating nasolabial folds and marionette lines and for enhancing cheekbones and lips. Results are immediate, with swelling or bruising possibly occurring but typically subsiding within a few days.
Botox: Botox is a common treatment to soften expression lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Small amounts of Botox are injected into facial muscles, temporarily paralysing them enough to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can treat forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, with results appearing within a week and lasting 3–6 months.
HydraFacial: The HydraFacial is a non-invasive treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin using a specialised device. It is suitable for all skin types and addresses issues like acne, dullness, and fine lines. HydraFacials improve hydration and leave the skin glowing and refreshed in 30–60 minutes.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: This treatment uses lasers to remove dead skin cells, reduce pigmentation, and smooth fine lines, offering a refreshed complexion. Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment using high-intensity light to address ageing and sun damage, stimulating cell regeneration and improving skin tone. Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, addressing fine lines, pigmentation, and uneven texture.
Microneedling: The Skin Pen is a tool used in microneedling treatments that creates tiny punctures on the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, improving skin texture and tone.
Chemical Peels: Chemical peels involve exfoliating the skin to reduce acne scars, pigmentation, and signs of ageing and can be customised for different skin concerns.
Sculptra: Sculptra is an injectable treatment that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, ideal for addressing volume loss in the face and improving overall skin elasticity over time. It provides gradual, natural-looking results.
Carbon Laser Peel: During this procedure, a layer of liquid carbon is applied to the face, and a Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser is used over the skin, which is absorbed by the carbon particles. This removes debris and enhances collagen formation, leading to instant skin glow, improved texture, even skin tone, tightening of pores, and reduced acne and fine lines.
Conclusion:
Many people are seeking non-surgical options that are quick, easy, and less expensive, with less downtime compared to surgical procedures. There is also a growing focus on treatments that reshape the lower face, neck, and jawline using minimally invasive techniques
