A Comprehensive Guide To Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

When it comes to cosmetic treatments and making an aesthetic adjustment to your face and body, many people assume that surgery is the only option. For many people, non-surgical cosmetic treatments offer a superior and more effective way to achieve a refreshed complexion with minimal downtime and indiscernible natural-looking results.

From cosmetic injectables, liquid facelifts, non-surgical rhinoplasty and a seemingly endless range of tweaks based on different technologies and modalities that target your dermis and muscles in various ways, it can be difficult to identify what you want. 

To help you better describe the look you’re interested in when visiting an aesthetic clinic, our guide will explore the different non-surgical procedures available and review the benefits and results you can realistically achieve.

TIGHTEN, PLUMP, AND FIRM YOUR SKIN WITH COSMETIC INJECTABLES

Cosmetic injectables remain the most popular treatment for those wanting to make targeted improvements, from the look of their skin to major changes with a liquid facelift. However, it’s a catch-all term that describes a procedure using a needle and syringe to infuse a substance deep below the skin and restore it for a more youthful finish that can’t be achieved with skincare. 

With increasing popularity, they allow you to transform the look and feel of your skin during a short appointment, with redness at the injection site being one of the few side effects most people present with.

 The different types of cosmetic injectables include:

• Anti-wrinkle treatments — Using a neuromodulator that works by temporarily paralysing the muscles responsible for wrinkles, you can quickly address the signs of ageing and soften the appearance of fine and prominent lines between your eyebrows, on your forehead and around your eyes.

Hosting a suite of multi-functional benefits, anti-wrinkle treatments can also be used to restore symmetry in the face, lift and correct drooping lazy muscles, prevent excess sweating in the armpits and even target specific trigger points to help manage migraines.

While many people use it to manage the effects of ageing, they make an exceptional preventative treatment to slow the formation of new and deeper wrinkles by stopping you from performing repetitive and overly expressive facial movements.

You’ll usually see the full results up to two weeks after treatment, and you can expect anti-wrinkle treatments to last around three to four months, depending on how well your body deals with the treatment. However, visiting a reputable aesthetic clinic like Studio Aesthetica is imperative to ensure you receive an expertly administered treatment to minimise the risk of muscle drooping.

• Dermal fillers — These fillers are a natural biodegradable gel made from hyaluronic acid and other synthetic materials to manage the signs of ageing and improve the contours of your face to create a lifted and more youthful appearance. 

From adding volume to restore the loss of fat, collagen and elastin to plumping your skin to eliminate the look of deep static wrinkles, dermal fillers offer an easy and instant way to rejuvenate your skin and leave you with a rested and refreshed complexion.

Dermal fillers are not permanent and will slowly get metabolised by the body. Depending on how well your body accepts them, you can expect results to last between six and twelve months, while some patients may enjoy them considerably longer.

• Profhilo — Our skin loses its natural collagen and elastin as we age, resulting in a dull and fatigued appearance. At 30 years old, this process begins to accelerate, making it essential to take proactive measures to restore the brilliance of your skin. Profhilo offers patients a cutting-edge solution beyond filling lost volume — it utilises hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and remodel the skin, stimulating collagen, adipocytes (fats), stem cells and elastin production.

Profhilo's revolutionary formula works by infusing your skin with moisture to enhance its firmness, elasticity and overall laxity, giving you a refreshed complexion that cannot be achieved solely with dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle treatments alone.

With long-lasting effects that can persist for six to nine months, depending on how your body metabolises the compound and if you opt for a second treatment one month after the initial appointment, Profhilo is a highly effective solution for revitalising your skin. 

To maintain the illuminating effects of Profhilo, we recommend repeating the treatment every nine months, allowing you to effortlessly maintain a youthful, radiant appearance.

GET A LIQUID FACELIFT WITH THREAD LIFTING

Thread lifting is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that has rapidly gained popularity for its remarkable ability to transform your appearance. 

Using a fine needle, polydioxanone (PDO) threads are carefully implanted at precise points and angles beneath the skin to subtly adjust the way it falls. The threads are equipped with barbs that gently anchor onto the walls of your skin, lifting the underlying tissue and improving skin laxity in a matter of months.

With the option for a full or half-liquid facelift, thread lifting offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery, without scarring or lengthy recovery times. The treatment can be tailored to various areas, including the neck, lower jaw, cheeks, temples and forehead, allowing you to redefine your facial contours and achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

PDO threads infused with bio-available hyaluronic acid and peptides provide an added boost of hydration to enhance your skin's texture and radiance. They’re biodegradable and seamlessly absorbed into the skin, allowing you to maintain impressive, long-lasting results for up to three years. 

REDEFINE YOUR PROFILE WITH NON-SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY

Rhinoplasty remains one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures, yet the prospect of cartilage breaking can be daunting. Fortunately, non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a compelling alternative, empowering you to refine the definition, shape and prominence of your nose. With the aid of dermal fillers and PDO threads, experienced cosmetic doctors can expertly correct asymmetry, hooks and bumps to harmoniously balance your facial features.

By artfully altering your nose's height, projection and width, our specialists can transform your appearance to meet your aesthetic goals. Results can be expected to last from six months to two years, depending on how your body metabolises the treatment. With this temporary option, non-surgical rhinoplasty allows you to preview your desired look before committing to a surgical procedure.
