When I ponder the case for non-surgical cosmetic treatments like injectables, I often think of celebrities, young and not so young, dissatisfied with their appearance and the less-than-natural results they seem to end up with for all the world to see.
When a cosmetic procedure is a little less than subtle, and if you’re a celebrity or public figure, it’s hard to avoid the onslaught of online opinions and criticism. For the rest of us, it’s like a train wreck, and it’s hard to look away.
While the goal of non-surgical cosmetic treatments is to enhance the appearance, the new, improved version of ourselves doesn’t always meet expectations.
There’s little wonder anyone embarking on any cosmetically enhancing treatments might worry. What if it all goes wrong? What if I look terrible, or they make a mistake, or I look like a caricature of my former self? Ugh!
The image of exaggerated cosmetic interventions has long overshadowed the true essence of non-surgical cosmetic treatments to thoughtfully enhance our natural facial features. The unrealistic pressure to maintain a youthful appearance persists, and increasingly, both women and men are succumbing to facial augmentation.
A casual glance at celebrity culture and the red carpet shows that there’s often more exaggeration in many cheeks than there needs to be.
If we were to embody one important message today, it’s that we are already enough – perfect in our uniqueness and deserving of the confidence to age naturally.
Breaking through beauty stereotypes
Bucking societal pressures is difficult and leaves many of us wishing for the smooth, fresh look of youth — without crossing the line into caricature with exaggerated cheeks.
Isn’t it time for a preventative, long-term, holistic approach? One that empowers you with confidence while encouraging the acceptance of ageing as a natural and unashamed part of life.
Such an approach emphasises the importance of subtlety in non-surgical cosmetic medicine, promoting an improved appearance that emanates from confidence and self-acceptance.
Why personalisation matters more than perfection
Cookie-cutter beauty is out.
It’s undoubtedly time we entered an era where cookie-cutter beauty is a thing of the past. You’re unique, and you should expect personalisation, where treatments are tailored to fit your unique facial features and everything that makes you who you are.
It’s an approach that ensures outcomes enhance your appearance in a way that complements your natural features, rather than dominating them.
Making informed choices with your practitioner
Knowledge is power, and this is never truer than when choosing a non-surgical cosmetic treatment. Practitioners who put you first and prioritise your consultation to understand your fears, aesthetic needs, and the outcome you desire will ensure every decision is informed, the ultimate result is anticipated, and realistic expectations are set.
Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and transparency is its cornerstone. An informed choice means your medical practitioner has engaged in an open discussion about risks, outcomes, and aftercare, fostering a sense of security and confidence.
If you feel you’re not being heard, if all aspects of your procedure are not adequately explained, if the consultation was rushed, or if you feel pressure to have a procedure you’re uncomfortable with, you should find someone who will listen to you.
There are many excellent, highly experienced cosmetic practitioners in the aesthetic industry and more than enough to find the right one for you.
Confidence in subtle results
If you look in the right places, you’ll find the approach to cosmetic medicine has shifted, where natural results become the norm, not the exception.
For me, feeling confident while acknowledging the passage of time and finding self-acceptance as I age is empowering. If you’re interested in non-surgical cosmetic treatments, you now have ways to improve your appearance rather than change it.
The future of cosmetic medicine: A new age of aesthetics.
The future of the non-surgical cosmetic industry is no longer just about correcting flaws; it’s about embracing a holistic, informed, and personalised approach to your aesthetic.
It’s about making subtle yet impactful changes that enhance your appearance and support your confidence.
Embracing this new era in aesthetic medicine to preserve and rejuvenate the skin’s natural health has led to the emergence of two interesting approaches: bio-remodelling and bio-rejuvenation.
These cutting-edge treatments, epitomised by the brands Profhilo® for bio-remodelling and Rejuran™ for bio-rejuvenation, stand at the forefront of non-surgical cosmetic advancements.
Offering more than augmented improvements, they delve deep into the skin’s biology, activating its intrinsic healing and regenerative capabilities.
Let’s take a close look at both Profhilo® and Rejuran™ and how they’re revolutionising the approach to improving your appearance for a more radiant complexion without the need for invasive procedures.
Profhilo® and Bio-Remodelling: Hydration from within
Profhilo® and Bio-Remodelling: Hydration from withinIn non-surgical cosmetic advancements, bio-remodelling has emerged as a groundbreaking approach to skin rejuvenation, with Profhilo® leading the charge. This cutting-edge treatment transcends the traditional boundaries of dermal fillers by rejuvenating your skin from within.
How Profhilo® Works
Profhilo® is a first-of-its-kind bio-remodeller with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Still, unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo® does not aim to fill wrinkles or add volume in a conventional sense. Instead, it utilises a unique formulation of stabilised hyaluronic acid, created through a patented process that allows it to interact with the skin’s cells to promote hydration, elasticity, and firmness.
The Benefits You Can Expect
Once injected, Profhilo disperses smoothly within the dermal layer, initially plumping the skin with hyaluronic acid and stimulating collagen and elastin production over time.
This process enhances the skin’s natural firmness, texture, and overall hydration levels. The result is a healthier, more vibrant complexion that glows from within. Profhilo is versatile and can be applied to the face, neck, hands, and other areas showing signs of ageing, offering a comprehensive solution for revitalising your appearance with minimal downtime.
Rejuran™ and Bio-Rejuvenation: Harnessing skin’s healing power
Turning to bio-rejuvenation, polynucleotide injectables have emerged as a novel approach with regenerative properties derived from salmon DNA* to promote skin healing and rejuvenation. This represents a leap forward in bio-rejuvenating treatments, offering a solution that addresses your aesthetic concerns and enhances the skin’s natural healing abilities.
How Rejuran™ Supports Regeneration
Rejuran™ is a brand that utilises polynucleotides and refers to them as “healer” or “regenerator” treatments. The composition of their bio-rejuvenating injectable closely mimics human DNA, allowing for improved compatibility and effectiveness when injected into the treated area. It works by delivering polynucleotides (PN), nucleic acids that stimulate cell growth and repair, directly into the skin.
Is Rejuran™ Right for You?
Multiple injections are administered into the treatment area, triggering a cascade of regenerative effects that improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and enhance the skin’s natural barrier.
This treatment is beneficial if you’re concerned about the visible signs of ageing or sun damage and seek to improve your skin’s texture and resilience. The manufacturers of Rejuran™ believe it’s a way to naturally rejuvenate the skin by harnessing the body’s own healing mechanisms.
The treatment offers a subtle result, so you won’t see immediate results, and you may need multiple treatments. The results are gradual and cumulative, as fibroblast cells are activated to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in an improved and refreshed appearance.
*If you’re vegan or have any ethical concerns about salmon, then this treatment is not for you.
The future starts now.
Now that you know a little more about new innovations in non-surgical cosmetic treatments, you can make better decisions. Along with a committed, active skincare routine and some long-term planning, you can achieve an overall improved look to your skin and its structure more naturally.
Advancements, such as bio-stimulators and rejuvenators, have significantly shifted how we can achieve more natural-looking results and serve as an alternative to other cosmetic augmentations, including dermal fillers.
When you want to make subtle changes to improve or correct your appearance, a non-surgical cosmetic practice should be a safe place to venture without fear, and as the landscape of non-surgical cosmetic treatments continues to evolve, surely the tell-tale chipmunk cheeks we’ve come to know will be a thing of the past.
I have yet to try either of these treatments, and my opinion in this article is based on my personal feelings about the potential for unnatural outcomes with cosmetic injectables, as well as a deep dive into the available science for new cosmetic treatments, such as bioremodelling and rejuvenation injectables, without resorting to cosmetic augmentation. That said, if you want to improve your skin, these innovations, which focus on subtlety and natural outcomes by rejuvenating from within, might be the answer for you.
