You’ve been considering a way to rejuvenate your appearance, but you’re not quite ready for the downtime and invasiveness of surgery. You want a refreshed, youthful look but prefer a solution that fits your busy lifestyle. Luckily, advancements in non-surgical facial rejuvenation have made it possible to achieve excellent results with minimal recovery time.
At the New York Group for Plastic Surgery, we understand patients want to look and feel their best without committing to invasive procedures. With the latest non-surgical techniques, you can maintain a natural, youthful glow while delaying surgery. Whether you want to smooth wrinkles, tighten skin, or add volume to areas that have lost their fullness, today’s non-surgical options offer many possibilities. Here are some of the most exciting trends to explore.
Injectables for volume restoration and wrinkle reduction
One of the most popular trends in non-surgical facial rejuvenation is the use of injectables like dermal fillers and neurotoxins. Fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, are commonly used to restore lost volume, enhance contours, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. These products are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin, and they provide immediate, natural-looking results that last up to 18 months.
Botox and other neurotoxins, on the other hand, work by relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. With these injectables, you can achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion in just a single treatment. The results of neuromodulators last 3 to 4 months, and the results of fillers last 6 to 18 months. As such, injectables are an excellent option for maintaining your refreshed appearance with periodic touch-ups.
Laser lifts for a non-surgical facelift
Aging often leads to sagging skin, particularly in the lower face and neck. For those who want to tighten and lift their skin without undergoing a surgical facelift, laser treatments like the LazerLift provide a non-invasive alternative. Using advanced Nd: YAG laser technology, LazerLift tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production and targeting deeper layers of the skin.
This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and requires minimal downtime. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, the laser lift avoids the need for incisions, meaning there is little to no scarring and a much quicker recovery time. The results continue to improve over the months following the procedure as collagen production increases, offering a natural lift.
Kybella for under-chin fat reduction
A double chin can be a frustrating issue to resolve, even with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Kybella is a non-surgical solution designed to target and reduce excess fat under the chin. This injectable treatment contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down fat cells, which are metabolized by the body.
At the New York Group for Plastic Surgery, Kybella treatments are tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Most patients require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, and the effects are permanent, meaning the fat cells are gone for good. The result is a more defined jawline and a slimmer, more youthful profile.
Sculptra for collagen stimulation
Sculptra is another injectable that stands out due to its ability to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Rather than providing immediate results like traditional fillers, Sculptra works gradually to restore volume and improve skin texture over time. It’s particularly effective for deeper facial wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and other signs of aging caused by volume loss.
As collagen production increases, your skin will look firmer and more youthful. Sculptra typically requires a series of sessions spaced over several months, but the results can last for up to two years, offering a longer-term solution to aging without surgery.
Latisse for longer lashes
Facial rejuvenation isn’t limited to your skin—your eyelashes can also play a significant role in enhancing your overall look. Latisse is a prescription treatment that encourages the growth of longer, thicker, and darker lashes. Applied topically to the lash line, Latisse gradually enhances lash growth over several weeks. With regular use, Latisse can transform thin, sparse lashes into full, dramatic ones, framing your eyes and enhancing your natural beauty.
Combining treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation
One of the most effective ways to achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance is by combining multiple non-surgical treatments. At the New York Group for Plastic Surgery, we can create a treatment plan that combines BOTOX, injectable fillers, and laser treatments to target different areas of concern. By using a combination of techniques, we can address various signs of aging simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive rejuvenation that looks balanced and natural.
By choosing the right combination of aesthetic treatments, you can achieve subtle yet dramatic results, allowing you to enjoy a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
