There is a growing demand for non-surgical aesthetic treatments, as more individuals seek ways to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing invasive procedures. Whether it’s to smooth fine lines, lift sagging skin, or enhance overall radiance, non-surgical options are becoming increasingly popular across age groups.
Dermatologists and skin clinics now offer a variety of treatments that help tighten the skin and boost collagen, the protein responsible for keeping skin firm and youthful. These treatments are especially popular for areas like the jawline, cheeks, and neck, where signs of aging tend to appear first. While the results may not be instant or as dramatic as surgery, many people notice real improvements over time. Plus, with little to no downtime, these options are much more appealing.
Dr. Gagan Raina, Medical & Clinical Director, Cosmetologist & Aesthetic Medicine Specialist, Arisia Skin Clinic, shares the most talked-about options right now:
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): Uses ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin, helping to lift and tighten gradually over time.
Radiofrequency Microneedling: A combination of heat and tiny needles that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture.
Plasma Fibroblast Therapy: A newer option that creates tiny, controlled injuries on the skin’s surface to trigger a tightening effect during the healing process.
In addition, Botox and dermal fillers remain popular non-surgical options for addressing fine lines and volume loss. While both treatments are effective, they offer temporary results, typically lasting between 6 to 12 months and require periodic maintenance for sustained benefits.
Not everything has to happen in a clinic, though. Skincare plays a key role in the non-surgical approach. Ingredients like retinol, peptides, and vitamin C are known to improve skin tone, boost collagen, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. While these won’t deliver the same results as professional treatments, they’re great for long-term maintenance, especially when started early.
In fact, many Millennials and Gen Z are embracing skincare and non-invasive treatments earlier than previous generations. For them, it’s more about prevention than correction, taking care of their skin now to potentially avoid more intensive procedures later.
So, is it all worth it? In many cases, yes. Some of these treatments do deliver visible results, especially when combined with a solid skincare routine. But like any trend, it’s important to skip the hype and speak to a qualified professional to find what truly works for you.
