Beauty is ever evolving, and if it seems like every few years, popular medspa treatments fall to the wayside only to be replaced with their 2.0 version, it’s because that is exactly what happens. Once deemed “the next best thing” the constant emergence of innovative and science-based aesthetic treatments sends some non-invasive aesthetic procedures to the beauty graveyard to die.  In this article, we break down the most outdated medspa treatments and the new aesthetic treatments that are replacing them while answering all your questions along the way. 

# **FILLERS AND INJECTABLES**

Filler migration and fatigue are changing the world of fillers from a once-overfilled look to a more natural, undetectable one, aka quiet filler.

### *What treatments are replacing traditional dermal fillers?*

Today, more patients opt for non-invasive treatments, like Botox and other neuromodulators, which relax the muscles that contribute to expression lines, over fillers. "While fillers are useful for volume loss, they can sometimes result in an overfilled or unnatural appearance when used indiscriminately," says [AEDIT Founder and board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. William Kennedy, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292). "Patients favor the subtle, more natural-looking results that neuromodulators provide. The rise of '[baby Botox](https://aedit.com/aedition/baby-botox-pros-cons)' and microtox techniques makes Botox appealing to a younger demographic seeking a refreshed look without dramatic changes." These nonsurgical treatments offer minimal downtime compared to procedures that require surgery, making them a convenient choice for many.

Another medspa innovation that is making headway is microdroplet filler. Rather than adding significant volume, this technique injects tiny amounts of filler superficially into the skin to hydrate it and improve its texture and radiance. Dr. Kennedy says it results in a dewy, plump complexion rather than a sculpted one since the microdroplet method provides more diffuse, skin quality-focused results. Microdroplet filler is an advanced skincare technology that he says is ideal for patients who want improvement without the risk of looking "done." The area treated is carefully selected based on the desired outcome, and proper injection site technique is essential to minimize side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising.


Regenerative aesthetics is a popular cosmetic procedure in 2025, consisting of treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Dr. Kennedy explains that these treatments harness the body’s healing factors to stimulate collagen, elastin, and tissue repair. “They also improve skin texture, under-eye hollows, and even encourage [hair growth](https://aedit.com/aedition/kourtney-kardashian-prp-injections-to-treat-hair-loss) over time for a more natural, holistic approach with fewer synthetic materials.” Since PRP and PRF are derived from your blood, they act as an alternative to fillers without the risk of adverse reactions. 

### *What are the alternatives to traditional lip fillers?*

Lip fillers, done conservatively, are the best way to add volume to the lips for enhanced shape and size, but other [lip-enhancing treatments](https://aedit.com/aedition/when-lip-fillers-are-not-enough) have made their way onto the list of Medspa trends for 2025. Some of the more popular options include:

1. **HydraFacial Perk:** This exfoliating lip service temporarily smooths the lips for a subtle boost in plumpness.
2. **Lip flip:** Harnessing neuromodulators, the popular lip flip minimizes movement of the tiny muscles around the lips, causing the upper lip to curl out for added fullness and definition.
3. **Skin boosters like SkinVive:** These hyaluronic acid injectables work differently from traditional lip fillers. Rather than volumizing, they add hydration to smooth away fine wrinkles.
4. **LipLase:** This laser-based treatment helps smooth the lips and add natural-looking volume by stimulating collagen production, thanks to Nd: YAG and Er: YAG energy.

### *What is the best alternative to Botox?*

Some new aesthetic treatments that work like Botox but offer unique benefits include Daxxify and Xeomin. According to Dr. Kennedy, [Daxxify](https://aedit.com/aedition/everything-you-need-to-know-about-daxxify-r) provides a longer duration of effect of up to six months, while [Xeomin](https://aedit.com/aedition/comparing-neurotoxin-botulinum-type-a-injections-botox-dysport-jeuveau-xeomin) is marketed as a “naked” botulinum toxin, free from accessory proteins, making it less likely to trigger resistance.

If injectables aren’t for you, topical ingredients, such as [peptides](https://aedit.com/aedition/best-peptide-skincare-products), are another route. “Peptides like Argireline offer subtle smoothing for those hesitant to inject although the results are far less dramatic,” Dr. Kennedy says. Another option is a fractional resurfacing laser, which stimulates collagen to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

# **FAT MELTERS**

[CoolSculpting](https://aedit.com/procedure/cool-sculpting) was the fat-melting treatment of choice for years, but new technologies have superseded it, making it one of the more outdated medspa treatments.

### *Is CoolSculpting still effective, or are there better alternatives?*

CoolSculpting was one of the original non-invasive fat-reducing treatments, harnessing cryolipolysis (extreme cold) to eliminate stubborn fat. Yet, as new non-invasive treatments come to the forefront, CoolSculpting has lost its luster and has been replaced with more effective and less painful treatments. “As the aesthetic market matures, patients seek faster, more reliable, and safer options,” Dr. Kennedy says.

Dr. Kennedy says devices like Lumenis [NuEra Tight](https://lumenis.com/aesthetics/products/nuera-tight/) and [triLift](https://trilift.me/) are more versatile body-contouring options. “NuEra Tight uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency to target both superficial and deep tissue, helping to reduce stubborn fat while tightening the skin, which is a major advantage over CoolSculpting.” Other new aesthetic treatments that utilize radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) or a combination of the two, such as [TruSculpt](https://aedit.com/procedure/trusculpt) and [EmSculpt NEO](https://aedit.com/aedition/what-its-like-to-get-emsculpt-neo), also target stubborn fat pockets and improve muscle tone and strength.

Dr. Kennedy adds that while triLift is often used for facial rejuvenation, it's dynamic muscle stimulation and RF technology make it suitable for toning and firming areas of the body that have lost definition due to aging or weight loss. "These technologies offer more holistic, customizable, and safer results than traditional cryolipolysis.”

### *Why is CoolSculpting controversial?*

According to Dr. Kennedy, there has been a decline in the treatment's popularity due to mixed results and reports of rare but serious side effects like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (treated fat cells that grow larger). “Most patients require multiple sessions and may see inconsistent outcomes, especially in smaller or less defined treatment areas.” Since CoolSculpting relies on cold to destroy fat, it can also cause long-term numbness, pain, and a visible delineation in the skin between the treated and surrounding areas.

# **SKIN TIGHTENERS**

The uptick in GLP-1s and weight loss therapies leads to increased sagging and loose skin, leading to non-invasive treatments to tighten things up.

What are the latest treatments for sagging skin due to weight loss?
Several advanced skincare technology devices make achieving smoother, firmer skin easier than ever after losing weight. Ultrasound-based treatments such as [Sofwave](https://aedit.com/aedition/sofwave-for-skin-tightening-collagen-production) tighten slack skin by delivering focused energy below the surface without puncturing the skin. Dr. Kennedy shares that stimulating collagen lifts and firms areas like the stomach or jawline over time. “Non-invasive ultrasound treatments have little to no recovery, although the results may appear more slowly and be less dramatic in cases of significant skin laxity.”

RF microneedling treatments like [Morpheus8](https://offer.inmodemd.com/morpheus8?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=FFG%20-%20Workstations%20Search%20-%20B2B%20-%200503_Morpheus8%20Ad%20Group&utm_content=734000547587&utm_term=morpheus8&campaignid=17689575343&adgroupid=147635101127&adid=734000547587&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17689575343&gbraid=0AAAAADqbadgj6J4675yzcC8TEkbQoazak&gclid=CjwKCAjwo4rCBhAbEiwAxhJlCXSfeSYWcLPHdrKn12gzRk9zuphHey2qgIidAOMkPMHhW9vaBI40UxoCvyEQAvD_BwE), [Profound RF](https://candelamedical.com/press-releases/candela-introduces-the-new-fda-cleared-profound-matrix-system/), [Sylfirm X](https://www.sylfirm-x.com/), and [Genius RF](https://www.lutronic.com/us/provider/product-line/genius-rf/) can also tighten sagging skin. RF microneedling uses tiny needles to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, triggering collagen production and tightening tissue while improving texture and tone. “It is ideal for addressing both laxity and surface-level concerns, but it may involve some redness or downtime,” Dr. Kennedy adds.

# **FACIAL TREATMENTS**

Some of the most popular facial medspa trends for 2025 may sound far-fetched and employ off-the-cuff ingredients and technologies, but all signs point to them replacing outdated beauty treatments.

### *Are vampire facials still popular? Or is there a new trend?*

The vampire facial, which uses PRP to rejuvenate the skin, is phasing out as exosomes are gaining popularity. Exosomes are more powerful than PRP and can regenerate and rejuvenate the skin, making them one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for 2025. “Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles rich in growth factors, stem cell-derived proteins, and signaling molecules, offer more dramatic improvement in skin tone, texture, and healing when paired with [microneedling](https://aedit.com/aedition/difference-between-professional-microneedling-at-home-dermarolling), especially in patients with lower platelet quality or age-related changes,” Dr. Kennedy explains. 

Salmon DNA, aka [salmon sperm facials](https://aedit.com/aedition/the-salmon-sperm-facial-what-are-polynucleotides-and-is-this-trending), is also on the up and up. “Salmon DNA is rich in polynucleotides, which are molecules that support skin regeneration and hydration,” says Dr. Kennedy. When used with microneedling, he says they help repair the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve elasticity. “Early results and studies look promising, but there’s also the novelty factor here. While trendy, the science is still catching up compared to more established regenerative treatments.”

### *Is microdermabrasion still effective?*

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a medspa that still offers [microdermabrasion ](https://aedit.com/aedition/difference-between-dermabrasion-microdermabrasion)since the once-popular skin treatment has been replaced by beauty treatments that are more advanced and better for the skin. Microdermabrasion is an older way of exfoliating the skin and has the potential for over-exfoliation, skin tears, and limited depth.

### *What is replacing microdermabrasion in modern skincare?*

Advanced skincare technologies that replace microdermabrasion offer exfoliating benefits with improved strength, potency, and precision, including customized [chemical peels](https://aedit.com/aedition/guide-to-superficial-medium-deep-chemical-peels), [Hydrafacials](https://aedit.com/procedure/hydrafacial), [DiamondGlow](https://www.diamondglow.com/), and carbon laser facials.

Hydrafacial: This non-invasive treatment is like microdermabrasion but far less abrasive on the skin. A specialized wand uses vacuum pressure to extract impurities from the pores while infusing the skin with serums, resulting in better results than microdermabrasion.

1. **Chemical peels:** Depending on their depth, chemical peels offer stronger exfoliation that can be customized to meet the skin's needs. They can also help renew the skin and treat concerns such as acne, acne scars, sun damage, discoloration, fine lines, and dull texture.
2. **DiamondGlow:** DiamondGlow rejuvenates the skin through chemical exfoliation with a diamond-tipped handheld piece, high-powered suction, and an infusion of SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums.
3. **Carbon Laser facial:** This relatively new aesthetic treatment starts with a layer of carbon paste and is followed by a pass of a laser to target fine lines, pigment, acne scars, redness, and more. Although it doesn’t exfoliate the skin, it breaks down skin impurities and reaches deeper into the skin for a brighter, smoother complexion.

### *Is microneedling still relevant, or has it been replaced?*

Microneedling is far from being considered an outdated medspa treatment, yet it has evolved from the original devices and machines that put the skin treatment on the map. Gone are the days of treating the skin solely with microneedling and using dermarollers in-office, which Dr. Kennedy shares are inconsistent in needle depth and offer limited collagen stimulation, and in its place comes energy-based, RF microneedling devices. “In the hands of an experienced provider, microneedling still plays a valuable role, especially when paired with regenerative serums or exosomes.”

### *Are LED facials still effective, or are there better options?*

[LED facials](https://aedit.com/aedition/difference-between-professional-at-home-led-therapy) may be considered an outdated medspa treatment since they aren’t performed as commonly as other non-invasive treatments. For the most part, replaced beauty treatments like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), biohacking facials, which are infused with peptides, growth factors, and NAD to stimulate deep cellular repair, and RF therapies have put LED facials on the back burner. Whereas LED facials target acne, minimal wrinkles, and inflammation and help improve skin texture, IPL and RF firms help tighten the skin.

# **CONCLUSION**

In the fast-paced world of beauty and wellness, staying informed is essential if you want to get the most out of your medspa experience. As outdated treatments make way for newer, more effective, and often more personalized solutions, knowing which trends are rising—and which are fading—is the key to achieving optimal results. The innovations defining 2025’s aesthetic landscape prioritize safety, science-backed efficacy, and natural-looking outcomes. Whether you're a seasoned medspa visitor or just exploring the possibilities, embracing the latest technologies and techniques ensures you won’t just look your best—you’ll feel empowered doing it. So before your next appointment, take a moment to reassess your go-to treatments; the future of beauty is here, and it’s smarter, sleeker, and more sophisticated than ever.

Outdated Medspa Treatments to Avoid in 2025 — And What to Try Instead

Top Outdated Medspa Treatments—and the Modern Aesthetic Procedures Replacing Them in 2025

A joyful mother cuddles her newborn in a soft, sunlit bedroom—highlighting the beauty of post-pregnancy life. This image reflects the emotional and physical journey of motherhood. In this AEDITION article we cover non-invasive mommy makeover treatments aimed at helping women restore confidence and feel their best after childbirth.

Top Non-Invasive Mommy Makeover Procedures for a Post-Baby Body

Motherhood is one of the most beautiful blessings… and, simultaneously, one of the hardest jobs we’ll ever have. It’s prefaced with nine months of pregnancy, where we watch our miraculous body change in ways we never thought possible. And, while we’re so grateful for everything our body has done to create life, at the end of it, we’re left with a body we hardly recognize. Finding clothes that fit is a challenge, and feeling good in them feels almost impossible. But, fortunately, there are a few tweaks we can make to restore confidence and beauty, without surgery. Read on as we outline the top non-invasive procedures for a mommy makeover and answer all your burning questions.

## **INTRODUCTION TO MOMMY MAKEOVERS**

A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy shape and appearance. The goal of a mommy makeover is to address common effects of childbearing and aging on the face, breasts, and body, such as sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, and loose, excess skin. Mommy makeovers can include cosmetic surgery, non-surgical treatments, or a combination of both, and are typically performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. These procedures aim to rejuvenate multiple areas of the body, providing a comprehensive approach to achieving a more youthful and contoured look. Whether it’s through a breast lift, tummy tuck, or non-surgical skin tightening, a mommy makeover can be tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each woman.

## **WHAT IS A NON-SURGICAL MOMMY MAKEOVER?** 
A non-surgical mommy makeover utilizes non-invasive technologies to reverse the changes from pregnancy, labor, and/or breastfeeding. While a non-invasive mommy makeover isn’t as effective as surgery, it is a great option for women who are planning to have more children, can’t afford significant downtime, or simply just don’t want to go under the knife. Unlike a traditional mommy makeover, a non-surgical one doesn’t happen all at once and can take several weeks or months.

## **ARE NON-INVASIVE MOMMY MAKEOVER TREATMENTS SAFE?**

Generally speaking, non-invasive mommy makeover treatments are very safe. However, there is risk with any cosmetic treatment—surgical or not. But, the most important thing one can do to minimize risk is to work with a well-trusted board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. While there have been major advancements in technology, it takes an experienced professional to deliver the desired results. 

## **WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY DO NON-INVASIVE MOMMY MAKEOVERS ADDRESS?** 

‘Mommy makeover’ is a general term used to describe a combination of different surgeries and treatments with the goal of restoring a woman’s body to “pre-baby.” Each mommy makeover is individualized to the patient’s goals—it’s not one-size-fits-all—but most commonly they address the abdomen, breasts, vagina, and any excess fat or loose skin. 

## **WHAT ARE THE BEST NON-INVASIVE PROCEDURES FOR VAGINAL REJUVENATION?** 

As one would expect, a vaginal delivery can change things down there. Some women experience stretching, a change in appearance, and/or incontinence. Fortunately, there are a number of non-invasive treatments available to tighten and rejuvenate inside the vaginal wall. In [Dr. Kennedy’s](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292) office, they use an RF treatment called [ThermiVa®](https://thermiva.com/), which can help with incontinence and sexual function with just three 30-minute sessions. It uses a special heated hand-held wand that is inserted inside the vagina and releases electromagnetic waves to stimulate blood flow, and collagen production which, in turn, restores moisture. Some devices utilize CO2 lasers (e.g., [FemTouch](https://lumenis.com/aesthetics/products/femtouch/) or FemiLift), PRP, and microneedling, but Dr. Kennedy finds that ThermiVa® stands out by using temperature-controlled radiofrequency, which offers a gentler, more comfortable experience with no downtime or risk of post-treatment discharge. “Unlike laser-based options, ThermiVa can treat both internal and external tissue effectively, making it a more versatile and well-tolerated option for non-invasive vaginal rejuvenation.”

## **WHAT ARE THE BEST NON-INVASIVE PROCEDURES TO DIMINISH STRETCH MARKS?**

As women quickly gain weight over nine months, most experience unwanted stretch marks around the stomach, hips, and breasts. While there’s no way to completely remove stretch marks, lasers can significantly reduce their appearance. According to Dr. Kennedy, “When it comes to treating postpartum stretch marks, [Lumenis ResurFX](https://lumenis.com/aesthetics/products/m22/resurfx/) really stands out. It’s a fractional non-ablative laser, which means it works deep below the surface to rebuild collagen and smooth out the skin, without damaging the top layer. That’s a big deal for new moms who want visible results but don’t have time for a long recovery. This laser is also customizable for different skin types and stretch mark severity, so treatments can be tailored to each woman’s unique needs.” Depending on the individual, it usually takes somewhere between three and five sessions, each spaced about a month apart, to see optimal results. 

## **WHAT ARE THE BEST NON-INVASIVE PROCEDURES FOR SKIN TIGHTENING?** 

As women shed pregnancy weight, they may notice areas with loose skin. Fortunately, there are radiofrequency (RF) treatments, like Venus Freeze, [Thermage®](https://www.thermage.com/#results), [VelaShape®](https://aedit.com/procedure/velashape), and Exilis, to tighten the skin. Dr. Kennedy’s preferred treatment is the [Lumenis TriLift](https://lumenis.com/aesthetics/products/trilift/). “TriLift is a game-changer for postpartum skin tightening. By combining muscle stimulation, radiofrequency, and microneedling, it creates a trifecta approach that not only tightens loose skin but also rebuilds structure and tone, addressing the deeper changes that occur after pregnancy. It’s the most effective device I’ve found to lift, firm, and restore volume, making it ideal for moms looking for a non-surgical refresh.” These non-invasive treatments can be particularly effective when combined with microneedling (e.g., Morpheus8) to help reach deeper layers of the skin. 

## **WHAT ARE THE BEST NON-INVASIVE PROCEDURES FOR BODY CONTOURING?** 

Non-invasive fat removal procedures, like [NuEra® Tight](https://lumenis.com/aesthetics/products/nuera-tight-us/), use radiofrequency to eliminate pockets of fat. While there’s no downtime, it can take several weeks to see results from each session, with final results taking several months. Fortunately, most people only need one to three sessions to achieve their desired results. Dr. Kennedy advises, “While body contouring treatments can be a powerful tool for postpartum recovery, it’s essential to understand their limitations—especially when factors like diastasis recti, breastfeeding, and fluctuating weight are still in play. The body is still healing and adjusting after childbirth, so timing and medical clearance are key to both safety and results.”

## **WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A NON-SURGICAL MOMMY MAKEOVER?**

When considering a non-surgical mommy makeover it is important that a woman waits until she is sure she is finished with childbearing. In addition to this, ideal candidates are those who are at a healthy weight, have realistic expectations, and are seeking to address concerns such as excess skin, stretch marks, or unwanted fat in specific areas of the body. Women who are considering a non-surgical mommy makeover should consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment for their individual concerns. This personalized approach ensures that each woman receives the most effective and appropriate treatments to achieve her desired results.

## **HOW DO NON-INVASIVE TREATMENTS COMPARE TO SURGERY?** 

It probably doesn’t come as a surprise to hear that non-invasive treatments generally aren’t as effective as surgical procedures. That being said, non-surgical treatments can still be great options; they can deliver strong results, can be more cost-effective, and have significantly less downtime and risk. It’ll boil down to the patient and their desired outcome. As aforementioned, non-invasive treatments are usually the preferred option for women who are planning to have more children or don’t want to have a lengthy recovery. 

## **WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME FOR NON-INVASIVE MOMMY MAKEOVER PROCEDURES?** 

One of the beautiful things about non-invasive treatments is that there is virtually no recovery time. Some people can experience redness or swelling after skin treatments, but that usually disappears within a week or two. On the other hand, the expected recovery time for a typical mommy makeover is anywhere from six to twelve weeks. For the first two to six weeks after surgery, moms can’t do any heavy lifting, which includes lifting or carrying children. It can also take six months to a year to see final results.

## **HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS OF A NON-SURGICAL MOMMY MAKEOVER LAST?** 

While surgeries are more permanent, non-invasive treatments typically require frequent maintenance. Maintaining the results of non-invasive treatments often requires a proper diet and regular exercise. Results vary from person to person, but most find that vaginal rejuvenation treatments last around a year. Skin tightening treatments can be more variable, with most people needing a session once or twice a year, and body contouring procedures are theoretically long-term, so long as patients maintain their weight. Laser treatments offer corrective benefits for stretch marks that are permanent, but they’re not preventative. Even with a healthy lifestyle and the aid of non-invasive procedures, some physical changes from pregnancy may require surgical intervention. 

## **WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A NON-SURGICAL MOMMY MAKEOVER?**  

The benefits of a non-surgical mommy makeover include minimal downtime, reduced risk of complications, and a more affordable cost compared to surgical procedures. Non-surgical mommy makeovers can also be customized to address individual concerns, such as breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction alternatives. Additionally, non-surgical procedures can be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments, such as facial rejuvenation or vaginal rejuvenation, to provide a comprehensive makeover. Many women find that non-surgical mommy makeovers offer a convenient and effective way to restore their pre-pregnancy appearance and boost their self-confidence, without the need for general anesthesia or a lengthy recovery period. This approach allows women to achieve significant improvements in their shape and appearance while maintaining their busy lifestyles.

## **HOW MUCH DOES A NON-SURGICAL MOMMY MAKEOVER COST?** 

Given that no two mommy makeovers are the same, the price will vary. For vaginal rejuvenation, women can expect to pay a total of **$2,500 to $3,500** for three sessions. On the other hand, when it comes to tackling stretch marks, the total investment is much more variable. Some people see drastic improvements after just one or two sessions, while others need several treatments to obtain desired results. Factors like size, maturity, and skin type also play a role in the laser’s efficacy. Patients can expect to pay somewhere between **$300 to $600** per laser session. Similarly, the price of skin tightening and body contouring treatments is also quite variable and depends on the area being treated. These types of technologies are typically more expensive, ranging anywhere from **$1,000 to $4,000** per session. To address all of these areas, one can expect a minimum investment of **$5,000**.

Non-Invasive Mommy Makeover Options: Safe & Effective Alternatives

The best invasive and non-invasive treatment options for your jawline

How To Perfect Your Jawline

For better or worse, the “snatched” jawline has become a new beauty standard. The well-defined and angular jawline is seemingly everywhere; celebrities like [Olivia Culpo](https://www.instagram.com/oliviaculpo/?hl=en), [Angelina Jolie](https://www.instagram.com/angelinajolie/?hl=en), and [Bella Hadid ](https://www.instagram.com/bellahadid/?hl=en) all have similar-looking V-shaped jawlines—and it’s not a coincidence. There is a growing obsession with sculpted jawlines and, while some are genetically blessed, others are paying top dollar to achieve it. 

It doesn’t matter if you have a little extra padding, loose skin, or a weak chin, you can still achieve a “snatched” jawline with a little cosmetic help. To understand what options are available, we tapped our network of board-certified plastic surgeons for their expert-backed insights on what works best for different aesthetic goals.

## **WHAT IS A "SNATCHED" JAWLINE?**

It was a bit of a surprise for us to learn that the slang word “snatched” actually originated from [New York City drag culture](https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/snatched/) back in the 90’s. Now that the term has become more mainstream, it’s most commonly used to compliment someone’s appearance. It can be used to describe someone’s outfit, makeup, hair, or a physical feature, like a “snatched” waist or jawline. 

So, what exactly defines a “snatched” jawline? NYC-based board-certified dermatologist [Brendan Camp, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/brendan-camp-md-34645), says that today’s beauty standards consider a sharp but tapered jawline desirable for women while a square or wide-set jawline is considered more masculine. 

While many beauty trends are fleeting, research points to there being real benefits of a defined jawline. According to a [recent study](https://www.library.hbs.edu/working-knowledge/face-value-do-certain-physical-features-help-people-get-ahead), people with thin jawlines were viewed as more charismatic and less aggressive. 

“The jawline is not simply defined by the mandible. There is an interplay between submental fat, jowls, skin laxity, skin quality, and the platysma (neck) muscle that influence the appearance of the jawline,” Dr. Camp says. “Jawline treatments can improve overall facial balance, improving the appearance of symmetry.”  

These are the top expert-recommended procedures to perfect your jawline and subsequently enhance your confidence and potentially boost your impression:

## **NON-INVASIVE JAWLINE TREATMENTS**

### **Masseter Botox**

Botox can smooth away fine lines and wrinkles, and it also can help temporarily slim the jawline. The muscles along the posterior jaw can become enlarged from overuse, especially among those with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (a.k.a TMJ). Botox blocks the platysma muscle’s ability to contract, reducing the muscle size over time. Treating this muscle can affect how it rests along the mandible to provide more shape in the appearance of the bone, says Dr. Camp. While Botox is extremely effective in re-contouring the face, injections are needed every three to four months, which can become expensive and time-consuming.

### **Dermal Filler**

Those with a weak jawline who aren’t ready to commit to a chin augmentation might want to opt for filler to add definition. Since dermal filler mimics the appearance of bone, Dr. Camp says they can be placed along the jawline to accentuate the shape of the mandible. In doing so, they better define the transition between face and neck. 

### **Radio Frequency (RF)**

Skin laxity, or saggy skin, can hide the contours of the jaw bone. To tighten loose skin around the face, a lot of doctors like RF. These treatments rely on advanced technology to target deeper layers of the skin. [David Shafer, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/david-shafer-md-153), a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and founder of Shafer Clinic in New York City, says his favorite non-invasive technologies to use are [NuEra Tight RF](https://www.shaferplasticsurgery.com/lasers/nuera-tight-rf-nyc/) or [EmFace](https://aedit.com/aedition/everything-you-need-to-know-about-emface) with [Genius RF](https://www.lutronic.com/us/provider/product-line/genius-rf/).  He says these procedures can achieve tissue tightening in the deeper and superficial levels of the skin.

AEDIT Founder and board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, [Dr. William Kennedy, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292) weighed in saying “For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who aren’t ready for surgery, my go-to recommendation is Lumenis NuEra Tight. This RF treatment delivers targeted energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, effectively tightening and lifting the skin over time.”

### **Fat Reduction Treatments**

Whether from genetics, aging, or diet, fat can obscure the sharp lines of the mandible. Fortunately, there are several non-invasive fat reduction treatments that can dissolve unwanted fat. Dr. Kennedy finds that [truSculpt® ](https://aedit.com/procedure/trusculpt)typically yields the best results when targeting the chin and jaw. 

Dr. Kennedy says “To reduce submental fat and refine the jawline, truSculpt®  yields the best results. It uses radiofrequency energy to not only destroy fat cells but also stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin in the process. This makes it a great non-invasive option for patients who want a more sculpted look without worrying about post-treatment laxity.”

For some patients, liposuction may be a more appealing solution. Dr. Kennedy advises “When deciding between non-invasive treatments and liposuction, I recommend patients consider their goals, downtime, and skin elasticity. If a patient has minimal fat and wants a gradual improvement, I recommend TruSculpt. However, if a patient has a larger fat deposit or wants more immediate and dramatic results, liposuction is the better option.”

# **INVASIVE JAWLINE PROCEDURES**

### **Neck lift**

For patients with significant skin laxity, Dr. Shafer says there is no way around needing a lower face or neck lift. The procedure removes excess skin and fat, which is a great way to redefine the jawline. But, depending on the individual’s face structure, they might opt for an additional procedure to achieve their desired look. 

“Choosing which treatment or treatments depends on the patient's skeletal anatomy, tissue thickness, and degree of laxity,” says Dr. Shafer. “For a weak chin or jawline we often need to augment with a chin implant or structural injectables such as Volux.”

### **Renuvion and Mini Liposuction**

When a neck lift is not indicated, Dr. Shafer says the best procedure for defining the jawline is Renuvion plasma tissue tightening in conjunction with mini liposuction of the neck. The mini liposuction removes excess fat while the Renuvion treatment contours and tightens the loose skin. It’s minimally invasive (i.e. downtime of a few days or weeks), but it can provide really powerful results that can last years.

### **Buccal Fat Pad Removal**

While a lot of procedures target the neck and chin, a buccal fat pad removal sculpts the face by removing excess fat in the cheeks. This approach is best for individuals who find their face looks too full or round and want to create more definition around the cheekbone area. 

According to Dr. Kennedy, “buccal fat pad removal is ideal for patients with naturally fuller faces who desire a more sculpted look." However, he says it’s important to be cautious. "If someone already has a lean face or is prone to significant weight loss, removing buccal fat could lead to a gaunt appearance over time. The results are permanent, but if a patient gains weight, some fullness may return” Dr. Kennedy advises.

### **Chin Augmentation**

For those with a weak chin, there are chin augmentations. The surgery uses an implant to make the chin more prominent and improve facial balance. It can be an effective way to achieve the desirable V shaped jawline, but it can take weeks to months to recover.

The aesthetics industry has undergone a remarkable evolution in recent years, with 2024 marking significant advancements in technology, techniques, and products. From AI-powered consultations to the rise of minimally invasive procedures, staying ahead of these trends has allowed individuals to achieve their cosmetic goals more effectively than ever before. As we look to 2025, the industry shows no signs of slowing down, with exciting innovations poised to redefine the standards of beauty and wellness.

What sets 2025 apart is the intersection of technology and holistic care, with groundbreaking advancements making treatments more effective and accessible while also promoting overall wellness. From next-gen skincare products to AI-driven diagnostics, the year promises a blend of precision and personalization that caters to individual needs like never before. This blend of science and artistry is shaping the future of aesthetics, ensuring that both beauty and wellness go hand in hand.

## **EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES**
 
**AI and Machine Learning** 
Artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize the aesthetics industry by offering hyper-personalized treatment plans and diagnostic tools. According to [Dr. William A. Kennedy III](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292), founder of AEDIT, "AI-powered consultations in 2024 provided skincare solutions tailored to real-time facial analyses." In 2025, these systems are set to become even more advanced, predicting future skin concerns and enabling proactive, preventative care. Virtual consultation tools like AEDIT’s AI Plastic Surgeon™ also allow patients to visualize potential results before undergoing procedures, enhancing decision-making and satisfaction.

**Advanced Laser Devices** 
Laser technology is expected to reach new heights in 2025. Emerging devices promise greater precision and shorter recovery times, making treatments like laser resurfacing and hair removal more effective and accessible. Innovations in fractional and picosecond lasers are particularly noteworthy, offering enhanced results for skin rejuvenation and pigmentation issues.

## **INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES**
 
**Regenerative Medicine**
The use of regenerative medicine is rapidly growing in popularity. [Dr. Amy Spizuoco](https://aedit.com/provider/amy-spizuoco-19341) of True Dermatology highlights the transformative potential of stem cells, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), and NAD injections. "Stem cells promote collagen production and tissue repair, improving skin texture and elasticity," she explains. PRP, derived from the patient’s own blood, stimulates hair follicles and enhances skin renewal. NAD, a coenzyme involved in cellular repair, boosts overall skin vitality and slows aging at a cellular level.

**Minimally Invasive Procedures**
Techniques such as thread lifts, microneedling with radiofrequency, and laser resurfacing are becoming more sophisticated. Thread lifts, for example, now use dissolvable materials like PDO (polydioxanone) and PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid), which not only lift but also stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting effects. Combination treatments—like pairing thread lifts with dermal fillers or Botox—are gaining traction for delivering comprehensive rejuvenation.

## **GROUNDBREAKING PRODUCTS**
 
**Next-Gen Skincare** 
Skincare in 2025 is all about leveraging advanced ingredients and technology. Peptides and growth factors are being incorporated into formulations to enhance collagen production and skin healing. Nanotechnology is enabling deeper penetration of active ingredients, maximizing their efficacy. Other standout ingredients include microbiome-focused prebiotics and probiotics, plant-derived squalane for hydration, and bakuchiol as a gentle retinol alternative. "Adaptogens like ashwagandha are also making their way into skincare to combat oxidative stress and inflammation," adds Dr. Spizuoco.

**Advances in Hormone Therapy and Sexual Health** 
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is emerging as a powerful tool for addressing aging and overall wellness in both men and women. By balancing hormones, HRT not only enhances physical health but also supports skin and hair rejuvenation.

**At-Home Devices** 
At-home beauty devices are becoming more effective and complementary to professional treatments. FDA-cleared LED light therapy masks like the Omnilux Contour and microcurrent devices such as NuFACE are allowing users to achieve medspa-like results from the comfort of their homes. These devices can be seamlessly integrated into treatment plans, enhancing the outcomes of professional procedures.

## **TRENDS SHAPING THE INDUSTRY**
 
**Personalized Beauty**
Personalized treatments based on genetic analysis and lifestyle factors are becoming the norm. This shift allows practitioners to design bespoke plans tailored to each individual’s unique needs, ensuring optimal results.

**Preventative Aesthetics** 
There is a growing focus on preventative measures to maintain a youthful appearance, shifting the industry from corrective to proactive care. Treatments designed to delay the signs of aging are becoming increasingly popular among younger demographics.

**Holistic Approach** 
The integration of wellness practices such as nutrition, mindfulness, and stress management is shaping the future of aesthetics. By addressing internal and external factors, practitioners are helping clients achieve comprehensive beauty and wellness.

## **EXPERT INSIGHTS**
 
Dr. Kennedy predicts that AI technologies will play an even larger role in diagnostics and personalized care in 2025. He emphasizes, "Tools like AEDIT’s AI Plastic Surgeon are setting new standards for precision facial analysis, personalized treatment recommendations and patient satisfaction."

Dr. Spizuoco highlights the importance of regenerative medicine, stating, "Advancements in stem cells, PRP, and NAD injections are transforming skin and hair rejuvenation." She also notes the potential of next-gen skincare ingredients like peptides, growth factors, and microbiome-focused formulations to redefine anti-aging solutions.

## **CONCLUSION**
 
The aesthetics industry is on the brink of another transformative year. From AI-driven technologies to groundbreaking products and holistic approaches, the trends expected to dominate in 2025 are as diverse as they are innovative. By staying informed and embracing these advancements, individuals can take full advantage of the latest techniques to achieve their cosmetic and wellness goals.

Discover the latest advancements in aesthetics anticipated in 2025. From AI-powered consultations to cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatments, explore how innovation is reshaping beauty and wellness for more effective, personalized results.

Our 2025 Valentine's Day Gift List

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan Thumbnail

We’ve officially entered what the internet is calling the “undetectable era” of plastic surgery. Technology has advanced so far that it’s almost impossible to tell what work has been done—unless you’re an expert, of course. And, possibly the craziest part is that you can make impactful change within a matter of minutes; you can kiss wrinkles and fine lines goodbye during your lunch break.

As we move into 2025, there are tons of non-invasive treatments to enhance features and reverse the signs of aging. These types of treatments typically are in-office and, compared to surgery, have a much lower price tag; think dermal filler, Botox, and laser. They can cost anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars per session. True plastic surgeries remain the most effective, but they require significant downtime and can cost thousands of dollars. 

With so many recent celebrity transformations, we’re itching for answers on how to turn heads like Lindsay Lohan did. Read on as we cover what work Lindsay Lohan likely had done, what non-invasive procedures to book for a major glow-up, and what you can realistically accomplish on a non-celebrity budget. 

## **Here’s an Overview of Lindsay Lohan’s Transformation**

When Lindsay Lohan stepped out onto the red carpet to promote her new holiday Netflix film “Our Little Secret,” the entire internet’s metaphorical jaw dropped. Lohan’s skin appeared more radiant and youthful and her face sculpted and refreshed. While she hasn’t confirmed what work she has done, experts like [William Kennedy, MD,](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292) board-certified Head & Neck Surgeon and Facial Plastic Surgeon, and Founder of AEDIT MedSpa™, suggest that her results could be attributed to a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments:

**Non-surgical:**

- Injectables (e.g. Botox, brow lift, lip and cheek filler)
- Filler dissolution in the cheeks
- Skin smoothing treatments (e.g. nonablative lasers, chemical peels and micro-needling)
- Weight loss (most likely from a healthy diet and lifestyle choices vs. GLP-1s) 
- Peptides and NAD+ 

**Surgical:**

- Rhinoplasty
- Lower blepharoplasty
- Face and neck lifts

## **Book These Non-Invasive Treatments For A Major Glow-Up**

Thanks to advancements in cosmetic technology, a variety of non-invasive treatments can help achieve a similar transformation to Lohan. Here are some of the most effective options, recommended by Dr. Kennedy:

Ablative laser or chemical peel: resurfacing procedures can help smooth out the quality of the skin. These types of treatments are great for minimizing scarring, pigmentation issues, and sun damage.

- **Laser resurfacing or microneedling:** these treatments work to tighten and smooth skin. They can be great options for people suffering from poor skin elasticity, acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, or uneven pigmentation.
- **Botox:** this injectable helps temporarily smooth out fine lines and wrinkles or redefine the jawline when injected into the masseter muscles.
- **Filler and filler dissolution:** dermal filler can help reduce the signs of aging by restoring volume as well as enhance facial features. Filler dissolution has also been gaining popularity as a way to get rid of migration, puffiness, or simply restore a patient’s natural appearance. Dr. Kennedy recommends consulting with an experienced injector to see if any existing filler can or should be dissolved. 
- **HydraFacial:** similar to microdermabrasion, HydraFacials remove dead skin from the face to make the skin more radiant and hydrated. --
- **Peptide and NAD+ therapy:** incorporating peptides and NAD+ therapy will boost overall skin vitality and energy, maintaining a youthful, glowing appearance. These treatments together offer a refreshed, rejuvenated look without surgery.
- **EMFACE:** for those not ready to commit to a face or neck lift, EMFACE can improve muscle tone and tighten the skin around the cheeks and submental area. 

As always, it’s important to manage expectations. These treatments outlined above can be absolute miracle workers, but, as Dr. Kennedy speculated, Lohan most likely had a couple of plastic surgeries (a lower blepharoplasty and a face and neck lift). Dr. Kennedy guessed that Lohan’s glow-up could have cost anywhere from $60k to $300k. 

## **Expert Recommendations**

The key to a successful makeover? Working with a highly reviewed, board-certified provider who can provide a professional assessment of what is medically achievable for your specific concerns and then deliver those results. Dr. Kennedy explains that a comprehensive approach may involve combining multiple treatments strategically over a short period, making lifestyle adjustments, such as improved diet and exercise, and diligently following pre- and post-treatment instructions to maximize results and ensure a safe, effective transformation.

## **Patient Perspective**

As a beauty writer, I’ve covered a lot of cosmetic treatments and surgeries over the years; I’ve spoken with dozens of expert plastic surgeons and dermatologists, and it wasn’t until recently that I comprehended just how big of a shift we’re seeing in cosmetic advancements. 

If you read my 101 article on [EMFACE](https://aedit.com/aedition/everything-you-need-to-know-about-emface) (shameless plug: read it, if you haven’t already!), then you probably know that I met with Dr. Shafer and his team at the [Shafer Clinic](https://www.shaferplasticsurgery.com/) over the fall to get a first-hand perspective of this new treatment. Despite all of the research I had done, I was totally taken aback (in a good way!) by the results. EMFACE significantly tightened the skin around my jawline and chin, making my face appear more youthful and thinner. Friends and family would comment - and still comment - on how good I look. And, unless I tell them about the treatment, there is virtually no way for them to know what “work” I had done. 

Possibly the most mind-boggling part of it all is how little effort it took. I would pop into the Shafer Clinic (which is conveniently just a few blocks from Grand Central) and be in and out within 45 minutes—but, it could easily be under 30 minutes had I not been so chatty. 

I met with Lucia Miranda, LE, CCMA, licensed esthetician at Shafer Clinic, for all four of my sessions. After wiping the skin with an alcohol cleanser, she would place the back grounding pad, two facial pads on my cheeks, and a third facial pad under my chin. With EMFACE, you have the option to target the forehead of the submental area (the triangle under the chin). Lucia usually recommends targeting the submental area, which tightens any loose skin on the lower face.

“I often recommend EMFACE to patients who are concerned about jowls or noticing a 'turkey neck.' The submental pad allows us to target and lift the lower face, reducing sagging. While EMFACE does have a forehead pad, I rarely use it because I find that neuromodulators and fillers tend to provide more precise results for addressing forehead lines and wrinkles,” Miranda shares with us.

The actual procedure is 20 minutes and a little uncomfortable; your face twitches involuntarily and there’s a bit of a tickling sensation. But, as far as cosmetic treatments go, it really was not that bad. At the end of it, I was able to go back to my day as if nothing had happened; there was no swelling or bruising, just a little redness—and, only because my skin is on the fair side.  

When researching EMFACE, the word ‘subtle’ kept popping up. It’s not an inexpensive treatment, so I kept thinking, why would someone spend thousands of dollars for “subtle” results? Now having experienced it first-hand, I get it; the results are meaningful but discreet. After EMFACE, my jawline is more sculpted and the skin is taut. The results are noticeable, but it’s totally natural-looking. Friends and family notice that I look better, but can’t quite put their finger on it. It just goes to show, we’re in the undetectable era.

Spring2022 Products

In 2024, wellness gifts are having a moment. No longer limited to spa kits or scented candles, the new wave of wellness gifting is deeply personal, luxurious, and often transformative. From high-end skincare treatments to serene luxury spa retreats, giving the gift of wellness can be a powerful way to show someone you care. But in a space as personal as health and beauty, how do you ensure your gesture feels uplifting rather than intrusive?

To uncover the best wellness gifts and how to give them thoughtfully, we consulted with our very own industry leader: Dr. William Kennedy, founder of AEDIT His insight helps  us navigate this growing trend, offering expert advice on everything from versatile treatment options to the best recovery products and luxury spa getaways. This guide will ensure your wellness gift feels both meaningful and indulgent—without crossing personal boundaries.

### **1. Thoughtful Treatment Gifts for a Personal Touch**

If you’re considering gifting a wellness treatment, flexibility is key. Many clinics now offer gift cards or treatment-specific vouchers, allowing recipients to choose their ideal service. [Dr. William Kennedy](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292), founder of AEDIT & AEDIT Medspa (opening in Los Angeles in spring of 2025), highlights their versatility:

“A gift card offers a lot of flexibility for the consumer. They can purchase the gift card for any value and use it toward any service. AEDIT Medspa will also offer special holiday skincare gift sets, which are excellent holiday gift ideas for friends or coworkers.”

Treatments like [HydraFacials](https://aedit.com/procedure/hydrafacial) and [Emsculpt](https://aedit.com/procedure/emsculpt) body contouring remain popular choices. Dr. Kennedy adds:

“Medspa treatments can make thoughtful holiday gifts, especially those with little downtime that are ideally performed during the winter months when patients are typically exposed to less sunlight. The [HydraFacial](https://aedit.com/procedure/hydrafacial) treatment cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, providing immediate glowing results with no downtime. [Emsculpt](https://aedit.com/procedure/emsculpt), a non-invasive body contouring procedure, is also an excellent gift choice for those wanting to tone their bodies without surgery.”

### **2. The Gift of Comfort: Products to Aid Post-Procedure Recovery**

For loved ones undergoing cosmetic procedures, recovery essentials can be thoughtful and practical gifts. Dr. Kennedy highlights two standout products:

“[Alastin Skin Nectar](https://alastin.com/products/regenerating-skin-nectar?srsltid=AfmBOorPV1IMe9o8BKatApP6gKK1FjcNOSCACmai2QAxiHKej_tWccTV) is a highly recommended recovery product. It strengthens skin before cosmetic treatments and accelerates healing afterward. It uses advanced peptides to promote collagen and elastin production while reducing inflammation. [Avène’s cicalfate cream](https://www.aveneusa.com/cicalfateplus-restorative-protective-cream?srsltid=AfmBOopLDp1l4if40UY3u-_uJEBfuA_VbMqoBgp9HpDku7PsSOAQY3xD#185=776) is another excellent option, rich in healing agents like copper and zinc, soothing post-treatment recovery and promoting skin barrier repair.”

Other comforting gifts include:

- **Silk Pillowcases and Eye Masks:** Silk is gentle on sensitive skin, helping reduce friction and irritation post-treatment. The gold standard is pure Mulberry silk, like [this one from Soft Strokes](https://www.wolfandbadger.com/eu/pure-mulberry-silk-eye-mask-set-of-two-in-burgundy/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=18092301542&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADrNWmyLI0K1q-LdOgGtKqmIo5_E2&gclid=CjwKCAiAudG5BhAREiwAWMlSjDn9SsZ9t00oNYAV5gySjmfQq0BHl7orDYOCuXoiePUmwjgyUaZsrhoCWi8QAvD_BwE). Best of all, giftees can never have too many: you want to make sure you wash them often to avoid exposing your skin to unnecessary bacteria.
- **Cryotherapy Gel Masks:** Offering a cooling effect, these masks help reduce swelling and soothe skin. [111Skin’s Cryo range](https://111skin.com/collections/cryo) is available in a [gift set](https://111skin.com/products/energising-cryo-kit?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=da7322ced&pr_rec_pid=8160097435801&pr_ref_pid=7544312201369&pr_seq=uniform) that is perfect for anyone who’s needed some down time recently, whether it’s while recovering from a procedure or from feeling those winter blues.
- **High-Quality Loungewear:** Breathable, soft loungewear is ideal for comfort during recovery and makes a luxurious, practical gift. The [Skims oversize co-ord range](https://skims.com/products/silk-oversized-long-sleep-set-mirror) is perfect for anyone looking for the perfect balance of comfort and style.


### **3. The Ultimate Wellness Gift: A Luxury Spa Vacation**

For an unforgettable gift, consider a luxury spa getaway. Dr. Kennedy advises gifting wellness experiences that celebrate beauty and self-care in a supportive way:

“Acknowledging a friend’s wellbeing is always a welcome gift. A thoughtful way to introduce medspa treatments to someone new is through a focus on healthy and beautiful skin. Expert providers at luxury spas can guide patients toward treatments uniquely suited to them during their appointment.”

### **Top luxury spa destinations include:**

According to the most recent[ American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/news/statistics/2023/minimally-invasive-procedure-trends-2023.pdf) data (and some rough math), someone is undergoing a filler treatment nearly every five seconds. This past year, doctors recorded over [six million ](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/documents/news/statistics/2023/minimally-invasive-procedure-trends-2023.pdf)treatments of dermal filler, making it the second most popular minimally invasive cosmetic treatment — after Botox, of course. But, lately, we’ve been hearing some pretty mixed reviews of the omnipresent treatment. Most commonly, we’ve heard rumblings that filler can “migrate” or move after it’s been injected. We’ve also heard horror stories that it might not [dissolve](https://www.newsweek.com/mri-scan-33-year-old-woman-face-shows-filler-ended-surgery-1925089) or can even make your face puffy. Given it’s almost as widespread as Botox, we all agreed that we needed answers. Stat. So, we reached out to our network of experts to find out if filler migration is a myth or fact.

## **Why is Everyone Talking About Filler Migration Now?**

If you feel like the term “filler migration” just popped up overnight, it’s not just you. It kind of did. Over the summer, a Beverly Hills oculoplastic surgeon posted a [video](https://www.tiktok.com/@kamiparsamd/video/7390433025697533230) to TikTok sharing the findings of an MRI scan of facial filler… and the internet went absolutely wild. The patient, a 33-year-old woman, reported she had 12 CCs of hyaluronic filler over the past six years, yet the scan showed that there was over double that amount of facial filler present under her skin, and in places she hadn’t even been injected. The video’s comment section became flooded with similar stories of having never-dissolving filler, which contradicts everything we’ve been told about filler.

Until now, we’ve been, we’ve always been under the impression that fillers are not permanent. If you ask any doctor, they’ll most likely give you a similar answer: HA-based fillers typically last anywhere from six months to a year and a half whereas non-HA-based fillers last a minimum of two years. It’s hard to predict exactly how long a filler will stay in someone’s body, but board-certified NYC cosmetic dermatologist [Dr. Michele Green](https://www.michelegreenmd.com/) says the longevity of any filler can also be affected by the patient’s skin characteristics, metabolism, and lifestyle choices.

“Low skin elasticity makes it hard for the skin to hold a filler, leading to a shorter length of results. Fast metabolisms can lead to quicker degradation of a filler. Excess sun exposure can break down collagen fibers, leading to reduced longevity of a filler,” she tells us.

## **What is “Filler Migration” and Can it Really Happen?**

Though it’s an uncommon side effect, our expert network confirmed that it’s not just a myth — filler migration does exist. For several reasons (we’ll get to that later on), it is possible for the injected filler to move from its injection site to another area of the face. But, to be clear, we’re talking about movement in millimeters, not anything drastic. 

“Filler migration is not a common side effect of dermal filler injection procedures,” NYC-based board-certified dermatologist [Brendan Camp, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/brendan-camp-md-34645) assures us. “It may be more likely to occur when someone gets filler treatments often in which a high volume of filler is used over time and is layered on previously injected filler.”

So, if you notice lingering asymmetry, lumps, unevenness, or puffiness after getting filler, then there’s a good chance it could be the infamous “filler migration.” According to Dr. Green, the dreaded filler migration can occur anywhere, but it most commonly presents itself in areas with thin skin, like the lips and tear troughs (under the eyes). While the onset of filler migration varies, Dr. Camp says it usually happens within days of the treatment if the injection was too superficial or within months as the filler is metabolized and its structure is altered.

But, again, remember that it’s not that common. 

## **What causes Filler Migration?**

While we can’t control whether or not our filler migrates, there are a few things to stack the odds in our favor. Dr. Green says that the most common causes of filler migration are overfilling, incorrect injection technique, and using the wrong filler. 

Dr. Green breaks it down for us: “too much filler in an area can cause a pressure imbalance, resulting in the filler migrating towards adjacent tissues. Inadequate injection techniques, such as injecting too close to the surface or using excessive pressure, can also lead to filler migration. Additionally, there are many different types of fillers on the market, all with varying concentrations and formulations. Using a filler that is not suited for the injected area can result in filler displacement.”

While any filler can result in filler migration, Dr. Camp and Dr. Green both said that non-HA-based fillers are less likely to migrate compared to HA-based fillers. This is because they promote new collagen production, which reduces the risk of migration.

And, Dr. Camp warns that HA-based fillers can expand after treatment because the filler is not saturated with water in the syringe. As a result, the HA molecule attracts and retains water and can cause additional swelling after it has been placed in the skin.

## **Can You Remove Filler?**

There’s a good chance you’ve heard conflicting answers to whether or not filler can be removed — and, that’s because some types of filler can be dissolved whereas other types can’t be. According to the experts, HA fillers can be dissolved whereas non-HA fillers can’t.

HA-based fillers can fortunately be dissolved with an agent called hyaluronidase, which is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid into its smaller components. Once injected into the area of filler migration, hyaluronidase acts immediately, with results visible after just 48 hours, says Dr. Green.

Unfortunately, there’s still no technology to dissolve or remove non-HA filler. The only solution is time and, depending on the type of filler used, patients may have to wait several months or years. That being said, Dr. Green said there are certain circumstances where a plastic surgeon might help, like if a granuloma has formed and can be excised. 

## **The Bottom Line**

Filler migration does exist, but it shouldn’t hold you back.  While the issue isn’t black and white, there are always ways to mitigate risk, most importantly by selecting the right injector. Seeking treatment from a board-certified physician who has the knowledge to choose the right type of filler for you and inject it properly is the safest way to ensure you are getting ideal results.

Filler Migration: Should You Be Worried? Experts Weigh In

If you thought skincare couldn’t get more innovative, think again. From snail slime to bee venom, scientists are constantly exploring new frontiers in skincare. Now, there's a new player in town: polynucleotides. Derived from an unexpected source—salmon sperm—this skincare treatment is making waves, particularly in the UK, where it has seen a surge in popularity. But what exactly are polynucleotides, how are they used, and is this trend something you should consider adding to your beauty routine?

## **When Did the Treatment First Become Popular?**

Although it sounds cutting-edge, the use of polynucleotides in skincare isn’t entirely new. Polynucleotide-based treatments have been quietly gaining traction in Asia for several years, particularly in South Korea and Japan, where cutting-edge beauty innovations frequently originate. However, it was only recently that the treatment gained widespread attention in the UK and Europe. Social media influencers and beauty bloggers have played a significant role in this surge, documenting their experiences with the treatment and swearing by its skin rejuvenation properties. As with many beauty trends, the treatment's celebrity endorsements have amplified its popularity, making it the latest must-try in advanced skincare. Over recent months, the treatment has been making its way into dermatologists’ offices across the US, with skincare enthusiasts hailing it as the latest must-have addition for youthful skin. 

## **What Are Polynucleotides?**

At the core of this buzz is a molecule known as polynucleotides, which, in scientific terms, are made up of DNA or RNA chains. In simpler terms, these molecules provide essential support to your skin at the cellular level. [Dr. Saami Khalifian](https://www.drsaami.com/), a board-certified dermatologist from SOM Aesthetics, explains, “Polynucleotides are beneficial for the skin because they promote hydration, reduce inflammation, and support the skin's natural repair mechanisms.” This makes them a gold mine for anyone looking to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, or combat dullness.

The fact that these molecules are derived from salmon sperm might sound off-putting at first, but it’s worth noting that they’ve undergone extensive purification processes to isolate the beneficial components. Much like how collagen supplements are sourced from animal byproducts, polynucleotides are a valuable tool in the skincare arsenal, offering scientifically backed benefits that translate into smoother, more youthful-looking skin — without a fishy smell in sight!

## **What Does the Treatment Entail?**

So, what does undergoing a polynucleotide treatment actually look like? Thankfully, the process is non-invasive. It typically involves the application of a serum or gel enriched with these molecules. Think of it as a supercharged facial, where the polynucleotides penetrate deep into the skin, delivering a surge of hydration and nutrients.

Unlike treatments that require recovery time, polynucleotide facials are quick, painless, and involve zero downtime. It’s often compared to a deep-conditioning treatment, but for your skin. According to [Dr. Khalifian](https://www.drsaami.com/), “The procedure is akin to a deep conditioning treatment for the skin, providing essential nutrients and hydration without the need for invasive methods or lengthy recovery.” This means you can easily fit it into a lunch break and go about your day with glowing, rejuvenated skin.

## **Who Is a Candidate for This Treatment?**

The beauty of polynucleotide treatments is that they’re suitable for a wide range of people. Whether you’re in your 20s and looking to stave off early signs of aging or in your 40s wanting to restore elasticity and smoothness, this treatment can cater to various skin needs. It’s particularly effective for those dealing with dryness, dullness, or fine lines, helping to revitalize tired-looking skin.

However, as with all cosmetic treatments, there are some caveats. Pregnant individuals, for example, should avoid this treatment due to the lack of studies on its safety during pregnancy. Likewise, anyone with specific allergies to the components of the treatment should steer clear. A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist is always recommended to ensure the treatment is right for your skin.

## **How Long Do the Results Last?**

One of the most common questions surrounding polynucleotide therapy is the longevity of its results. Unlike more temporary treatments, the effects of polynucleotide facials tend to last for several months. Factors such as your skin type, environmental exposures, and how well you maintain your skincare regimen can all play a role in how long the glow sticks around.

[Dr. Khalifian](https://www.drsaami.com/) notes that “consistent treatment and proper skincare can help prolong the effects.” While the treatment provides immediate hydration and a noticeable glow, it’s the long-term benefits—smoother, firmer skin—that keep clients coming back. Typically, a full treatment plan involves several sessions over the course of a few months, with each session building upon the last for lasting results.

## **What Is the Average Cost?**

If you're considering adding this trending treatment to your beauty routine, it's important to know the financial commitment involved. The cost of polynucleotide therapy can vary depending on where you go, but you can generally expect to pay between $200 and $500 per session. A complete treatment plan, which may involve multiple sessions, can increase the overall cost, but many clinics offer packages to help make the process more affordable.

In terms of value, the benefits of polynucleotide treatments—such as lasting hydration and the stimulation of your skin’s natural repair mechanisms—make it a more sustainable investment compared to quick fixes like superficial facials. While the initial outlay might seem steep, the long-lasting results could outweigh the need for more frequent, lower-cost treatments.

## **Where Can You Get This Treatment?**

Currently, polynucleotide facials are primarily offered at medspas, dermatology clinics, and plastic surgery centers. As the treatment gains traction, more providers are beginning to include it in their service offerings.

In the U.S., the treatment is still in its early stages of popularity, but as word spreads and more clinics adopt the technique, it’s likely only a matter of time before it becomes as ubiquitous as microneedling or chemical peels. For now, you may have to do a bit of research to find a clinic in your area that offers polynucleotide therapy, but rest assured that it’s an option well worth considering if you’re serious about upgrading your skincare routine.

## **Is the Salmon Sperm Facial Worth the Hype?**

At first glance, the idea of applying salmon sperm to your face might seem bizarre, but the science behind polynucleotides and their skin-rejuvenating properties is hard to argue with. From enhanced hydration to smoother, more resilient skin, this treatment offers a range of benefits that go beyond what many conventional facials can provide.

If you’re curious about trying the latest in skincare innovation and are willing to make an investment in your skin, polynucleotide therapy might just be worth the hype. With growing popularity and increasing availability, the salmon sperm facial could soon become a staple in advanced beauty treatments across the globe.

EMFACE

A treatment with no needles, no downtime, and with sessions that take less time than a mani / pedi… count us in. EMFACE is a new, non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment by BTL (most famous for EMSCULPT) that everyone in the skincare world has been buzzing about. The innovative device, which was FDA-approved in 2022, uses a combination of high-intensity focused electrical stimulation (HIFES) and synchronized radiofrequency (RF). The HIFES acts as a “facial workout” that tones and lifts the facial muscles while the RF heats the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production. 

Doctors are particularly excited about this new technology because it addresses two of the most common signs of aging: facial volume loss and wrinkles. “It is exciting because it targets the facial muscles and helps tone, tighten, and build muscle for a more youthful-looking appearance,” says [David Shafer, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/david-shafer-md-153 "David Shafer, MD"), a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and founder of Shafer Clinic in New York City.  

So, how exactly does EMFACE work and does it really live up to all of the hype? Read on. 

## What does the treatment entail?
Getting EMFACE could not be easier; the treatment takes a little over 20 minutes and virtually has no downtime. The only “downside” (and we put that in quotes because it’s really not that big of a deal) is that, in order to get optimized results, the treatment calls for four sessions that are scheduled about a week apart. 

Before getting the EMFACE treatment, your provider will take about 10 minutes to prep your skin and the equipment. First, they’ll wipe your face with an alcohol cleanser to help the sticky pads adhere properly. From there, they’ll place a grounding pad on your upper back, which attaches to the machine and is responsible for safely channeling the energy to the facial pads. As a last step, they’ll place three pads on your face: one on your forehead and one on each of your cheeks. Now, you’re ready to go. Your provider will turn the machine on and it’ll start to work its magic; for the next 20 minutes, the pads will send signals that contract the facial muscles, making you involuntarily smile and twitch. You may feel a little bit of heat from the RF and a tickling sensation from the HIFES, but most people report that it is a fairly comfortable treatment. 

While the actual EMFACE session is quite quick, it’s important to note that it can take time before you see a noticeable difference. Dr. Shafer says you can expect peak results around one to three months post-treatment. It’s also worth mentioning that you’ll likely need to go in for maintenance sessions a few times a year after those four initial treatments.

## How does EMFACE compare to other facial rejuvenation treatments?
While EMFACE uses unmatched technology, experts say its best used in combination with other rejuvenation treatments. For instance, Santa Monica based Board-Certified Dermatologist [Dr. Ava Shamban, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/ava-shamban-md-2325), views EMFACE as complementary to treatments like Botox and filler. Since Botox and other neuromodulators work by relaxing the muscles that pull down the skin, Dr. Shamban says that ideally, a patient would have a neuromodulator treatment first, followed by an Emface treatment. 

Compared to filler, Dr. Shamban says EMFACE is completely different. “Emface can give a mild lift to fat pads that overly the muscles that are lifting, but it doesn’t address lip volume or cheek volume changes. It can improve facial contour and appearance of the jawline,” she tells us.

The same goes for Ultherapy, another non-invasive rejuvenation treatment; the two procedures treat different signs of aging. According to Dr. Shafer, Ultherapy tightens tissue by targeting loose or saggy skin whereas EMFACE lifts and tones the underlying muscle through muscle stimulation. 

And, in case you were wondering, while EMFACE is a total game-changer, it’s not going to replace a facelift… sorry! With the current technology, sadly no non-invasive treatment can deliver comparable results. That being said, you can combine EMFACE with other in-office treatments to achieve results that have never been possible until now.

## Bottom line: is EMFACE worth it?
EMFACE is a great option for those who are needle-phobic, are too young for injectables, or who want efficacious but natural-looking results. Since the treatment doesn’t have any downtime, Dr. Shafer says it’s particularly attractive for his patients looking for pain-free quick solutions with subtle results. 

Aside from its price point, the biggest limitation to EMFACE is that you can’t have metal plates or implants in your mouth, since it can interfere with the energy currents. But, as always, it’s best to discuss with your board-certified dermatologist to see if EMFACE is a good fit for you. 

For those who aren’t getting the desired results from their existing skincare treatments or find that needles are a barrier, EMFACE could be a great fit for them -- if their budget allows. Depending on the provider and location, the treatment costs around $4,000 for four sessions. 

With all of the buzz around this new treatment, we’re sure that EMFACE delivers, but stay tuned for my first-hand perspective as I meet with Dr. Shafer and his team at the Shafer Clinic over the next month!



Everything You Need to Know About EMFACE

Trinh Georg | Gloweva 

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that chasing the fountain of youth isn’t for the faint of heart — Botox and dermal fillers come with needles, chemical peels and lasers come with redness and swelling, and facelifts come with significant recovery and downtime. These treatments are all tried-and-true, but they require commitment, time, and, not to mention, significant investment. But, lately, we’ve been seeing a natural Botox substitute all over our FYP that has us totally intrigued. With TikTok creators swearing by facial massage and showing off their wrinkle-free foreheads and sculpted faces to prove it, we can’t stop wondering if it’s the long-awaited answer to our prayers. To get to the bottom line, we tapped into our expert network including Santa Monica based Board-Certified Dermatologist [Dr. Ava Shamban, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/ava-shamban-md-2325) and [Trinh Georg](https://www.instagram.com/trinhgeorgg), the founder of [Gloweva](https://www.gloweva.com/), who has amassed over 700k followers on social media with her facial exercise tutorials. Read below to find out if we should be saying “namaste” to face yoga.

### ***What is Facial Massage?***

If you thought a ‘facial massage’ was a cross between a facial and a massage, you’re not alone. While a facial massage can be relaxing and does improve the skin, its main goals are to improve face shape and combat aging. Depending on the technique, some prefer to massage with fingers while others swear by using a handheld tool, like a gua sha. In addition to the massage, a lot of people will couple the treatment with facial exercises (aka ‘facercise’) as another organic way to help lift and sculpt the face and neck.

### ***Benefits of Facial Exercise***

**Facial massage offers several benefits:**


- **Improved circulation and oxygenation:** moves nutrition into the skin cells and temporarily reduces inflammation and puffiness while giving a fresh glow

- **Lymphatic drainage:** moves toxins through the system, which can give an instant contour

- **Relaxation of facial muscles:** reduce tension and stress lines

- **Stimulate collagen production:** produces firmer, more youthful-looking skin

### **Popular types of Facial Massage + Exercise:**

- **Buccal facial:** A [buccal massage ](https://www.instagram.com/p/C5mwdr0r5hA/)is a sculpting technique that is performed by massaging the muscles inside the mouth with the fingers. Buccal massage involves pressure points to stimulate muscles and ligaments between cheeks and jowl area to release ligaments and stimulate muscles, says Dr. [Ava Shamban, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/ava-shamban-md-2325), a board-certified dermatologist in Santa Monica, CA. 

- **Gua sha:** Unlike most facial exercises which rely on the hands and fingers, gua sha uses a heart-shaped stone tool that stems from traditional Chinese medicine. Dr. Shamban says that using the smooth, contoured stone in a rhythmic scraping motion is more effective in drainage circulation. 

- **Facial yoga:** This practice includes a set of facial exercises and stretches to counteract the effects of aging. Natural beauty influencer, [Trinh Georg](https://www.instagram.com/trinhgeorgg/) says that by focusing on proper form and engaging the targeted facial muscles with intention, you can effectively build strength and tone, resulting in noticeable improvements in facial appearance and overall wellness.

- **Face tape**: Applying face tape each night is supposed to help lift sagging skin, increase circulation, and release muscle tension.


When it comes to deciding what type of facial massage and exercises are best for you, it depends on your goals combined with a bit of trial and error. For example, Georg says you can massage along the jawline to reduce tension and define it or you can massage around the eyes, in moderation, to reduce puffiness and dark circles. 

### **Getting Started with Facial Massage**

For those looking to get started with facial massage, Trinh recommends focusing on gentle, upward strokes using your fingertips, a gua sha, or a facial roller to release muscle tension and promote lymphatic drainage. Start from the center of your face and work outward, paying extra attention to areas of concern such as the jawline, cheeks, forehead, and neck. This will help reduce facial puffiness and promote a more sculpted appearance.

“Anyone can benefit from facial massage, but it's particularly beneficial for those looking to reduce signs of aging, improve skin tone and texture, or alleviate tension in the facial muscles,” says Trinh. 

But, remember that consistency is key. “If you stop doing facial massage, you may notice a gradual decrease in the benefits you've gained. It's best to maintain a consistent routine to sustain the results you've achieved,” Trinh advises. Luckily, she says you can still get results even if you practice just a few minutes each day. Depending on the person, you can see noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture as early as two weeks.

### **Our Take**

**Katie, Director of Operations**

I have been a believer and user of gua sha for some time now and find it tremendously effective for keeping my face feeling slim. While the overall presentation of my face is dependent on multiple factors; what I’m eating that week, how much I’m working out, and how many days I’m doing the facial massage, I still see it as worthwhile and an integral part of my routine. I tend to suffer from fluctuations in cheek volume, especially when I’m not feeling the healthiest and it is a major insecurity. Since starting a gua sha routine a few years back I have generally been able to keep my facial puffiness at bay which makes me a big advocate! 

The facial exercises demonstrated by Trinh are completely new to me and I’m hoping they work – look at her cheekbones! Who knew it was possible to achieve that without filler? Initially, I found it difficult to target/move the specific muscles in my face necessary to do the “workout” (I’m primarily working on lip & marionette lines) but practicing these exercises each day is getting easier. It’s also something that is accessible while doing other things throughout the day. I haven’t seen major changes yet, I think it’s still too soon, but I’m committed to trying for the next few months and am enjoying the results in my face so far! 

**Alisha, Sales Director**

After just three days of facial massage, I noticed a significant reduction in inflammation and puffiness in my face. While longer-term practice is necessary to achieve toning benefits, I already observed a subtle lift in my cheeks and jowls.

**Sam, Writer, The AEDITION**

Over the past few days, I focused specifically on Trinh’s exercises that targeted the forehead. Recently, I’ve noticed I’ve been developing some fine lines, so I was really excited to incorporate some of Trinh’s techniques as a proactive measure. After just five minutes of massage, I noticed my forehead already looked smoother. The effects seem to be short-term for now, but I’m excited to see even more improvement as I dedicate more time.

### **The Bottom Line: Does Facial Massage Work?**

We’re happy to report that TikTok didn’t let us down: facial massage does, in fact, work! That being said, facial massage does have its limitations; it’s not a medical aesthetic procedure, after all. 

With facial massage and exercise, you can expect to improve skin tone and contour, but the effects will be more temporary than a professional treatment. “They are more of the moment temporary improvements; they do not offer any cellular changes nor do they slow down mother nature,” Dr. Shamban tells us. 

The most important factor to preserving a youthful-looking appearance is proper sun protection and, as Dr. Shamban says, taking steps along the way to promote collagen and elastin (aka ‘prejevnation’). These are going to be the biggest differentiators in changing the trajectory of how we age!

Hormone Replacement Therapy: What Is It and Who Is it For


Toa Heftiba | Unsplash

We’ve all heard of hormones — and, most likely with a negative connotation. But, without hormones, we’d be in a lot of trouble. They’re responsible for processing many of our body’s most essential functions, like metabolism, blood pressure, sexual function, and mood. 

When our hormones aren’t optimized, we refer to it as a ‘hormonal imbalance.’ Several factors can cause this imbalance and, unfortunately, a lot of them are out of our control. For instance, there are certain situational events (e.g. puberty, pregnancy, and menopause), health-related issues (e.g. tumors, thyroid disorders, diabetes, adrenal dysfunction, etc), and genetics that can make our hormones go haywire. 

On the other hand, there are some lifestyle changes we can make to improve hormone levels. Exercising regularly, eating healthfully, managing stress, and limiting exposure to environmental toxins (e.g. smoking, alcohol, etc) have been proven to help keep hormone levels in check. 

In some instances, it becomes nearly impossible to correct hormone imbalances naturally and medical intervention is required. For patients who find themselves in this position, doctors will turn to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to improve their patient’s quality of life. Here’s everything you need to know: 



### **What Exactly is Hormone Replacement Therapy?**

As mentioned above, hormones are responsible for regulating everything from our mood to our physical well-being. When unbalanced, they have a number of unpleasant side effects, including sluggishness, weight gain, and sleep disruption. HRT is a treatment with the goal of restoring hormonal balance in men and women to improve the overall sense of well-being.
   
HRT is available in many formats (e.g. pills, patches, gels, creams, sprays, and intrauterine devices (IUDs) and is often prescribed by an ob-gyn or primary care physician. That being said, some board-certified plastic surgeons also offer HRT in conjunction with cosmetic procedures. 

Typically, practitioners will only offer HRT for up to five years, but [Jamie Gabel, PA-C](https://www.myadvitam.com/provider/jamie-gabel-ms-pa-c), a certified physician assistant at New York’s [Advitamin](https://www.myadvitam.com/) at the [Shafer Clinic](https://www.shaferplasticsurgery.com/), says that when prescribing hormones, you have to consider each patient's individual history to best determine when to start, finish, or continue HRT.

In addition to traditional HRT, a lot of prescribers like bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), which many consider to be closest to natural human hormones.  [Dr. William Kennedy, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292), board-certified Head & Neck Surgeon and Facial Plastic Surgeon, and Founder of [AEDIT MedSpa™](https://aedit.com/provider/aeditmed-spa-md-34673) says the hormones used in HRT are derived from the urine of pregnant horses and other organic hormones. Bioidentical Hormones used in BHRT on the other hand are derived from plants and are chemically identical to naturally occurring hormones in the body. Being chemically identical to our own hormones gives BHRT a significant advantage over traditional HRT in that you have fewer side effects and dosing can be more precisely titrated to doses that meet the patient’s exact needs.

### **The Benefits of HRT**

Hormone imbalances can cause an array of health conditions and can affect the skin, reproductive organs, metabolism, and mental health. To counteract these effects, many doctors will prescribe HRT to drastically improve well-being. 

Board-certified cosmetic dermatologist in West Hollywood, [Jason Emer, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/jason-emer-md-722), says that when women experience a hormonal imbalance, they could suffer from headaches, hair loss, excessive hair growth on the face, acne, irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and discomfort during sex. Men, on the other hand, might have difficulty maintaining muscle mass, difficulty concentrating, erectile dysfunction (ED), swollen breast tissue (gynecomastia), and decreased facial and body hair growth. To determine whether or not someone would be a good candidate for HRT, most doctors will perform and assess bloodwork. 

“You can have someone who is younger with endocrine issues that needs HRT and someone who is going through decreased values with age, stress, catastrophic life events, etc. There is no specific person that is or isn't a candidate,” says Dr. Emer.

Previously, it was believed that people above the age of 60 or those with a history of blood clots or heart disease were ineligible candidates for HRT. Dr. Emer says that if someone has low levels, improving their hormone levels may help their heart disease or cholesterol. That being said, Dr. Emer adds that if someone is older with a lot of comorbidities, it may be better to hold off on treating the hormonal imbalance until the person is in better health. 

### **Why Plastic Surgeons Are Excited About HRT**

It’s no secret that plastic surgeons are obsessed with outward beauty — it’s what makes us feel individualized and empowered, after all! But, as clichéd as it sounds, outer beauty starts from within. We need to look and feel good, both physically and mentally. That’s why our network of experts is particularly excited about incorporating HRT into their practices.

Dr. Emer, for instance, focuses on a ‘holistic’ approach to antiaging where he not only addresses patients’ outside cosmetic concerns but also their internal aging process. “We discuss evaluating hormonal changes as they age and after events, like pregnancy or weight loss, to determine if hormonal supplementation or peptides are needed to aid in concerns they have with age (e.g. stress, sleep issues, hair loss, joint pains, sexual dysfunction or loss of drive, and skin changes),” Dr. Emer tells The AEDITION. During each of his cosmetic consults, Dr. Emer discusses internal wellness and, if they have any concerns, his team evaluates it with blood tests and supplementation. 

Dr. Kennedy is excited about the advances HRT and BHRT have made over the past few years and the promise of more advances on the way. “As we age, changes to the way we look and feel are a direct result of changes in our internal production of chemicals and hormones. At AEDIT Medspa™ we replenish these hormones so both the cause and effect of aging are addressed. Success at AEDIT Medspa™ is a person feeling great about themselves not just on the outside but on the inside too.” 

HRT can be used independently or in conjunction with other treatments (e.g. results. anti-aging, sexual rejuvenation, or fat reduction) to enhance results. At Advitamin at the Shafer Clinic, they sometimes offer BHRT with treatments like IV infusion therapy, peptide therapies, regenerative procedures, and nutritional supplements, depending on the needs of the patient.

### **The Takeaway**

With a proven track record, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is rapidly gaining popularity among plastic surgeons and other healthcare providers. The integration of HRT into their offerings underscores its pivotal role in not only optimizing our hormonal balance for physical well-being but also in enhancing our outward appearance.

As we anticipate the biggest aesthetic trends of 2024, one undeniable certainty emerges: a surge in the number of people opting for aesthetic procedures surpasses any previous year. In fact, the [International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)](https://www.isaps.org/) reported in their latest global survey an [11% increase](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-latest-global-survey-from-isaps-reports-a-rise-in-aesthetic-surgery-worldwide-301910346.html) year over year, with almost 25 million procedures performed worldwide in 2023. 

So, what aesthetic trends should be on our radar this year? We reached out to the AEDIT provider network to get the insider scoop on what’s to come in 2024. Here, we’re sharing the latest innovations the experts are using along with the most common requests they’re getting.  

## **AEDIT’s Aesthetic Trend Predictions For 2024**

**Natural, Subtle Enhancements**

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok over the past few months, you’re probably familiar with the #cleangirlaesthetic — the latest beauty trend of looking effortlessly chic. It’s characterized by slicked back hair, a “makeup-free” face, and a simple yet polished outfit. The idea is to look naturally beautiful as if you put in zero effort. So, overly large breasts and overfilled faces that scream plastic surgery are not in keeping with the ‘clean girl aesthetic’ and are officially ‘out.’ 

Board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in New York City, [Dr. Mahmood, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/umbareen-mahmood-md-23), confirms this TikTok trend has already made its way to her office. Most of Dr. Mahmood’s patients are requesting to have smaller, more natural looking implants or solely using their own breast tissue to do a breast lift and skipping the implants all together. And, the same approach applies to the face. Dr. Mahmood says “patients want their face to be balanced and they want subtle adjustments that still look and feel like themselves.” 

**Smoother, Cellulite-Free Skin**	

Even though a natural aesthetic is ‘in,’ cellulite, which affects [80 to 90 percent](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10324940/) of women, is considered ‘out.’ With the introduction of [Aveli](https://myaveli.com/how-aveli-works/), a minimally-invasive device that reduces the appearance of cellulite, more and more people are investing in a perfectly smooth behind.

“It is unique among cellulite treatments in that it allows targeted incision and release of each individual septa causing a dimple,” says board certified Head & Neck Surgeon and fellowship trained Facial Plastic Surgeon, [Dr. William A. Kennedy, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/william-kennedy-md-26292). “Although, unlike other techniques that use single-use thermal mechanism of septa release such as Cellulaze, Aveli does not promote collagen production and is a simple release of tethering causing a dimple.”

While there have been previous treatments for cellulite in the past, Dr. Mahmood says they were generally not entirely effective or they were fairly involved to perform. Aveli, on the other hand, has shown dramatic results with minimal downtime and only one treatment. 

**Integration of Exosomes**

Exosomes aren’t exactly new — they’ve been popular in the hair loss space for a while, but [Dr. Angela Lamb, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/angela-lamb-md-34643), a board certified dermatologist in New York City says they have steadily been gaining traction within skincare. The nanoparticles stimulate collagen production and have regenerative properties, which can help with aging and pigmentation issues. It’s most effective when used in conjunction with another treatment, like resurfacing lasers or microblading, so they can penetrate the skin and get to work. That being said, there are at-home exosome treatments that can work topically. Dr. Lamb recommends the [Angela Caglia Cell Forte Serum](https://www.angelacaglia.com/products/cell-forte-serum-with-biomsc-human-stem-cell-conditioned-media?tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=20795979027&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwP6sBhDAARIsAPfK_wbq5CbIW419kWLuV0_bsV_-zCEf71jGVmg6a-_OoUQO-L5ACe8KOr8aAqHkEALw_wcB) and the [DP Derm Exo-Skin Exosome Therapy](https://dpderm.com/products/dp-dermaceuticals-exo-skin-30ml).

**AI-Driven Insights**

We’ve really seen artificial intelligence (AI) take off over the past year with lifelike TikTok filters and ChatGPT. With [Mintel’s 2024 Global Beauty Report](https://www.mintel.com/beauty-and-personal-care-market-news/beauty-trends/), we’re anticipating AI to infiltrate the beauty industry with even more virtual try-on’s and algorithm-recommended insights based on personal preferences. AI works by feeding data sets of information into computers to “teach” the computer program how to function. AI models are not static but fluid and they continue to grow, learn and improve over time as more data is input. The beauty industry can benefit from these powerful programs as they grow and develop human-like knowledge; and in the case of the beauty industry: develop the human-like knowledge of a plastic surgeon, One such program is the [AI Plastic Surgeon](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aedit-ai-plastic-surgeon/id1322246202?mt=8), an iOS app developed by AEDIT, pending full release in Spring 2024. The AI Plastic Surgeon measures a person’s unique facial characteristics and creates a highly precise and individualized cosmetic evaluation. The AI Plastic Surgeon then employs the AEDITOR tool which enables users to ‘try on’ popular cosmetics procedures — like Botox, lip filler, rhinoplasty, and more. The results generated are truly achievable and reflect the user's unique features and produce results that are truly possible. As brands collect more and more data, Dr. Lamb expects that AI tools will help patients make more informed purchasing decisions and ultimately improve satisfaction. 

**Mind-Body Connections**

Since COVID, [mental health awareness has become a hot topic](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2023/03/10/the-rise-of-mental-health-awareness-among-gen-z-what-this-means-for-brand-marketing/?sh=2ad2ee6a30e4), especially among Gen Z. As mental health is becoming more of a priority, it’s spilling over into all aspects of life, skincare included. According to Mintel, 70 percent of US consumers are willing to pay more for beauty products with mood-boosting qualities. 

“We know the external conditions of stressors on our skin but there is also a strong yet complex interplay between the dermis and our overall physiological state of well being,” [Dr. Ava Shamban, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/ava-shamban-md-2325), a board certified dermatologist in Santa Monica, CA shares with us. “We see hormone levels, sebum production and other functions of reactivity as endogenous variables so reducing stress, increasing quality sleep, relaxation and positively impacting our mental health can absolutely have a positive impact on our skin health, cellular aging and glow!”

Some of Dr. Shamban’s favorite beauty treatments with mood-boosting qualities include a Co2 Lift Mask, scalp massage and hair masque, hot oil treatment, and skincare with calming ingredients, like calendula, chamomile and aloe vera.

**Weight Loss Shots — Without the Aftereffects**

At first it seemed like only [celebrities](https://people.com/health/stars-whove-spoken-about-ozempic-use-and-what-they-said/) were using Ozempic and other weight loss medications, but with a recent [report of 9 million prescriptions](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/27/ozempic-prescriptions-data-analysis/) in just three months, it’s become apparent it’s everywhere.

“Semaglutide such as ozempic and Wegovy are taking the country by storm as they are highly effective weight loss treatments that produce immediate results. The rapid weight loss, with average ranges over 20 lbs over a few months, can have secondary effects of generalized wasting appearance in areas such as your face, the so-called ‘[ozempic face](https://aedit.com/aedition/the-best-procedures-for-combatting-ozempic-face-and-ozempic-body),’” says Dr. Kennedy. “For optimal results, this loss of facial volume and increased skin laxity is best treated with thermal collagen production treatments, fillers and for extreme cases of skin laxity, mini-facelifts.” 

**Minimalistic Skincare**

Another takeaway from Mintel’s Gloal Beauty Report was that shoppers are being more selective with their beauty purchases. The report predicts that consumers will shift away from an extensive skincare routine to a more minimalist approach, prioritizing  high-end, reliable essentials.   

Dr. Lamb is seeing this first-hand with her patients asking about at-home gadgets, like [Solawave](https://www.solawave.co/) and other red lights, more than they ever did. “They want ease and efficacy as well as a device that they can have long term. While you certainly can purchase serums, you constantly have to keep refilling. These gadgets are one-time investments that patients can use long term without having to worry about maintenance,” Dr. Lamb says.

## **The Takeaway**

It’s a new year, and it’s a new us — smarter, happier, and “au naturale.” This is the year where we work smarter, not harder. We’re taking advantage of new innovations like AI, exosomes, and Aveli to save time and get long-lasting results. We’re also ditching all of the fuss and adopting a ‘less is more’ mantra. From now on, it’s fewer products with more meaningful results and energy-boosting qualities. And, we’ll be doing all of this to feel like our natural selves, inside and out!
