What the Heck is Facial Rejuvenation Anyway?
Understanding Facial Rejuvenation: The Complete Guide
Facial rejuvenation refers to a range of cosmetic procedures and treatments designed to restore a more youthful appearance to the face by addressing signs of aging.
Here's what you need to know about facial rejuvenation:
Definition: Cosmetic treatments that restore youthful facial features by targeting wrinkles, volume loss, sagging skin, and texture issues
Types: Both surgical (facelift, eyelid surgery) and non-surgical (Botox, fillers, lasers) options
Main Goals: Reduce wrinkles, restore volume, improve skin texture, and improve facial contours
Results: Typically last from 3 months (Botox) to several years (surgical procedures)
Recovery: Varies from no downtime (injectables) to 2-3 weeks (surgical procedures)
The natural aging process affects every layer of our facial structure – from skin to fat, muscle, and even bone. As we age, our faces lose volume, develop wrinkles, and experience sagging due to declining collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid levels (which begin around age 35).
Modern facial rejuvenation approaches the face in a three-dimensional way, often combining multiple treatments for the most natural results. Unlike old-fashioned techniques that simply "pulled skin tight," today's methods focus on restoring volume and balance while enhancing your natural features.
What makes facial rejuvenation truly transformative is how it can be completely customized to your specific concerns – whether you're looking to address early signs of aging or more advanced changes.

What is Facial Rejuvenation?
Ever looked in the mirror and wished your reflection matched how youthful you feel inside? That's exactly what facial rejuvenation aims to accomplish. Far more than just a simple beauty treatment, it's a comprehensive approach that addresses the many ways our faces change as we age.
Definition & Main Goals
Facial rejuvenation encompasses a family of treatments and procedures designed to restore a more youthful appearance to your face. It's become increasingly popular in recent years—the global cosmetic surgery market reached $63.4 billion in 2021 and is growing at nearly 10% annually. That's because these treatments deliver something truly valuable: confidence.
When we talk about the goals of facial rejuvenation, we're really talking about turning back the clock in multiple ways. Treatments can smooth away wrinkles and fine lines that appear both when you're expressing emotions and when your face is at rest. They restore the youthful volume that naturally diminishes over time, especially in your mid-face, cheeks, and temples. Your skin texture and tone improve dramatically, with sun damage and uneven pigmentation fading away. Sagging skin—particularly around your jawline, neck, and eyes—becomes firmer and more lifted. And perhaps most importantly, your natural facial contours become more defined, creating harmony and balance.
As one patient beautifully put it, "I didn't want to look different—I just wanted to look like myself again." That sentiment captures why so many of us seek facial rejuvenation—to reconnect with the face we recognize as truly ours.
How Facial Rejuvenation Addresses Facial Anatomy
What makes modern facial rejuvenation so effective is its understanding that aging happens in layers. Think of your face as a beautiful building that needs maintenance at every level, not just a fresh coat of paint.
Your skin—the outermost layer—thins over time, losing elasticity as collagen and elastin production decrease. This leads to those lines and wrinkles we all know too well. Beneath that, your facial fat pads (yes, fat can be your friend!) shift and diminish with age. One expert describes aging faces like "a balloon with some air let out"—a perfect analogy for how volume loss affects your appearance.
Deeper still is your SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), the facial muscle layer that weakens and stretches over time, contributing to that dreaded sagging. The ligaments that act as your face's natural support structures also weaken and elongate. Even your facial bones change, gradually resorbing and providing less support for everything above.
The best facial rejuvenation approaches take all these layers into account. Many practitioners use the Golden Ratio (1:1.618)—the same mathematical proportion found in nature's most beautiful creations—as a guide to restore balanced, natural-looking results. This concept, sometimes called "BeautiPHIcation," helps ensure that when volume and contours are restored, they're in perfect harmony with your unique features.
Research shows that about 64% of facial rejuvenation procedures are surgical, while roughly 36% are non-invasive. This highlights why the field brings together so many specialists—plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and aesthetic professionals—to provide truly comprehensive care.
At MD Body and Med Spa, we understand that facial rejuvenation isn't just about looking younger—it's about feeling like yourself again, with your outer appearance reflecting your inner vitality. Our approach considers all aspects of facial aging to create natural, harmonious results that boost both your appearance and your confidence.
Non-Surgical vs Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
When it comes to turning back the clock on your appearance, you've got two main paths to consider: surgical or non-surgical facial rejuvenation. This choice isn't always straightforward and depends on several personal factors – how advanced your aging concerns are, the results you're hoping for, how much downtime you can manage, and of course, your budget.
Think of facial rejuvenation as existing on a spectrum, with quick, no-downtime treatments on one end and more intensive surgical procedures on the other. Most people actually benefit from a customized approach somewhere in between.
Let me break down the key differences to help you understand your options:
Factor Non-Surgical Surgical Downtime Minimal to none 1-3 weeks Results Duration 3 months to 2 years 5-10+ years Invasiveness Minimal Significant Cost $$ $$$$ Ideal For Early to moderate aging Moderate to advanced aging Risk Level Low to moderate Moderate to high
Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
The world of non-surgical facial rejuvenation has absolutely exploded in recent years. In fact, the global market for these treatments is growing at an impressive rate of 15.4% annually from 2023 to 2030. Why the popularity? Simple – these treatments can deliver remarkable improvements without requiring you to put your life on pause.
Neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin have become household names for good reason. These injectables work their magic by temporarily relaxing those facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles – you know, the crow's feet, forehead lines, and those pesky frown lines that make you look annoyed even when you're not! Results typically show up within a few days and last about 3-4 months. To put their popularity in perspective, Americans received over 6.3 million botulinum toxin injections in 2013 alone – and that number has only grown since.
Dermal fillers address a different aspect of aging – the volume loss that leaves us looking hollow or deflated in certain areas. Most fillers today contain hyaluronic acid, a substance your body naturally produces. They're particularly effective for smoothing smile lines, filling in marionette lines, restoring cheek volume, enhancing lips, and fixing those temple hollows that can age a face dramatically. Depending on the product and where it's placed, results typically last from 6 months to 2 years.
If skin texture is your concern, chemical peels might be your answer. These treatments use carefully formulated acids to remove damaged outer skin layers, revealing fresher, more youthful skin beneath. They range from gentle "lunchtime" peels with minimal peeling to deeper treatments that require a few days of social downtime.
Microneedling has gained tremendous popularity for its collagen-stimulating effects. This treatment creates thousands of microscopic channels in your skin, triggering your body's natural healing response. Many practitioners now combine it with radiofrequency energy or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to improve results even further.
For those noticing early jowling or sagging, thread lifts offer a minimally invasive option. These treatments use dissolvable threads to create an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production for longer-term benefits.
As one facial plastic surgeon puts it, "Non-surgical office-based treatments often require little to no downtime." This makes them particularly appealing if you're looking for improvement without disrupting your busy schedule.
Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
When non-surgical options aren't enough to address more significant signs of aging, surgical facial rejuvenation provides more dramatic, longer-lasting results. In 2013, surgeons performed more than 133,000 facelifts and nearly 216,000 eyelid surgeries in the US alone.
The facelift (rhytidectomy) remains the gold standard for addressing significant sagging in the lower face and neck. But today's techniques are far more sophisticated than the "windswept" looks of decades past. Modern approaches focus on repositioning the deeper SMAS layer (that's the superficial muscular aponeurotic system – a fancy term for the tissue layer beneath your skin) rather than simply pulling skin tight. The result? A much more natural-looking outcome that lasts 5-10+ years. Recovery typically takes 2-3 weeks, with some bruising and swelling to be expected.
A neck lift often complements a facelift, addressing sagging neck skin, those vertical bands that can appear (platysmal bands), and excess fat under the chin. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours with a recovery similar to a facelift.
For many people, the eyes show aging first, making blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) one of the most popular facial surgeries. Upper eyelid procedures remove excess skin that can make you look tired or even impair vision, while lower eyelid surgery addresses under-eye bags and puffiness. Upper eyelid surgery takes just about 30 minutes, while lower eyelid procedures take 1-2 hours. You'll need about 1-2 weeks of recovery time.
A drooping brow can give you a perpetually tired or angry appearance, which is where a brow lift comes in. This procedure lifts the eyebrows to a more youthful position and can reduce forehead wrinkles in the process. It takes 30-60 minutes with 1-2 weeks of recovery.
Fat grafting represents the perfect marriage between surgical and regenerative medicine. This technique harvests your own fat (typically from the abdomen or thighs) and carefully reinjects it to restore volume to your face. It's often combined with other surgical procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.
As one facial plastic surgery specialist notes, "If the surgery is performed well, the result will be natural in appearance." This highlights something critical – the importance of choosing a skilled surgeon with an artistic eye and deep understanding of facial anatomy.
At MD Body and Med Spa, we'll help you steer these options with a personalized approach that considers your unique facial structure, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle needs. Whether you're taking your first steps into facial rejuvenation or considering more comprehensive treatments, our team will guide you through creating a plan that's just right for you.
Energy-Based & Injectable Technologies
Modern facial rejuvenation has been revolutionized by advances in energy-based devices and injectable technologies. These treatments have transformed how we address aging concerns, offering effective solutions with varying levels of invasiveness and recovery time.
How Injectables Improve Appearance
Injectable treatments have become the cornerstone of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, and their popularity has skyrocketed over the past decade—and for good reason!
Botulinum Toxin treatments like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin work their magic by temporarily blocking nerve signals to facial muscles. This reduces muscle contraction and softens those dynamic wrinkles that appear when you smile, frown, or look surprised. They're perfect for smoothing forehead lines, those pesky "11s" between your eyebrows, crow's feet, bunny lines on the nose, and even downturned mouth corners.
Most people see Botox reaching its full effect about 5-7 days after treatment, with results lasting around 3-4 months. And patients love it—a JAMA Dermatology study found that 91% of patients were satisfied with their results!
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are another game-changer in the injectable world. These gel-like substances instantly restore volume and smooth static wrinkles. What's wonderful about HA fillers is their versatility—thinner formulations work beautifully for fine lines and lips, while medium-density options tackle nasolabial folds and marionette lines. For those deeper hollows in the cheeks and temples, firmer fillers provide the structure and lift needed.
"Fillers are a good first step for early signs of skin aging," as one dermatologist puts it. The results appear immediately and typically last 6-18 months, depending on the product and where it's placed.
For those seeking longer-term results, Biostimulatory Fillers like Sculptra offer a different approach. Rather than just filling space, they stimulate your body's own collagen production for gradual, natural-looking improvement. While results take a few months to fully develop, they can last up to two years!
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments—sometimes playfully called "vampire facials"—use components from your own blood to stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. PRP works wonderfully when combined with microneedling and can be particularly effective for improving overall skin quality and treating those tricky under-eye hollows.
Today's expert practitioners often use combination therapy, skillfully blending different injectables to address various concerns in a single treatment plan. This comprehensive approach creates more natural-looking results that improve your features rather than changing them.
Laser, Light & RF for Skin Quality
Energy-based devices represent another powerful category of facial rejuvenation technologies that target skin texture, tone, and tightness with impressive results.
Ablative Lasers like CO2 and Erbium:YAG remove the outer layers of skin to address significant wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. The CO2 laser is considered the gold standard for skin resurfacing, offering dramatic improvement with just one treatment. While it does require 1-2 weeks of downtime and some persistent redness, the results speak for themselves. A Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology study found that fractional CO2 laser treatments showed a 45-50% improvement in facial wrinkles, with results lasting up to two years!
For those wanting less downtime, Non-Ablative Fractional Lasers like Fraxel and Clear + Brilliant create thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin while leaving the surface intact. This stimulates collagen production without the extended recovery period of ablative lasers. They're particularly effective for fine lines, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and mild to moderate sun damage.
"Non-ablative lasers penetrate deeper than ablative ones despite causing less downtime," as one laser specialist explains. Typically, a series of 3-5 treatments yields optimal results.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL/BBL) isn't technically a laser but uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation, redness, and vascular lesions. It's an excellent option for addressing sun damage and rosacea with minimal downtime. A typical BBL session lasts about an hour with just minor redness afterward—perfect for those who can't afford much recovery time!
Radiofrequency Devices use electrical energy to heat deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues. Treatments like Thermage and Morpheus8 (which cleverly combines RF with microneedling) can provide significant improvement in skin laxity without surgery.
Ultrasound Therapy like Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. It's particularly effective for mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and décolletage. Results develop gradually over 2-3 months and can last up to a year.
One of the most exciting developments in energy-based facial rejuvenation is the combination of different technologies. A comprehensive treatment plan might include BBL to address pigmentation, HALO (a hybrid fractional laser) for deeper resurfacing, and Moxi for gentle maintenance. This layered approach targets multiple concerns while minimizing downtime and maximizing results.
At MD Body and Med Spa, we stay at the forefront of these technologies, offering customized treatment plans that combine the best options for your unique needs. The science behind these treatments is fascinating—learn more about laser resurfacing research and energy-based rejuvenation studies if you're interested in the deeper science!
Patient Considerations, Risks & Maintenance
Let's talk about what really happens after you say "yes" to facial rejuvenation. Beyond the excitement of potential results, it's important to understand what you're signing up for – not just the benefits, but also the considerations, possible risks, and the ongoing care needed to maintain your refreshed look.
Choosing the Right Provider & Setting Expectations
Finding the right person to perform your facial rejuvenation treatment is arguably the most important decision you'll make on this journey. With so many options available globally, how do you know who to trust with your face?
Board Certification Matters
For surgical procedures, your safest bet is always a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. If you're looking at non-surgical options, qualified dermatologists and properly trained aesthetic providers can deliver excellent results. Always do your homework – check credentials, read reviews, and don't be shy about asking for proof of experience.
As one facial expert puts it: "Skilled facial plastic surgeons can provide wonderful improvements of appearance in a safe manner." Those words couldn't be more true – skill and safety should be non-negotiable.
When you schedule a consultation, come prepared with questions. Think of this as an interview for someone who'll be helping transform your appearance. Some essential questions to ask include:
"How many of these procedures have you performed?" "Can I see before-and-after photos of your patients?" "What results can I realistically expect?" "What risks might I face?" "What will recovery look like for me?" "Are there alternatives I should consider?"
The answers to these questions will help you gauge not just the provider's expertise but also their honesty and communication style.
Understanding the Investment
Let's be real about costs – facial rejuvenation treatments vary widely in price. Non-surgical options might set you back a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, while surgical procedures can cost significantly more. At MD Body and Med Spa, we understand this is a meaningful investment, which is why we offer flexible payment options to make your treatment plan more accessible.
Keeping It Real
A fascinating survey with nearly 500 participants found that people who underwent facial rejuvenation were perceived as younger, more attractive, more successful, and healthier afterward. But it's crucial to keep your expectations grounded.
The goal of modern facial rejuvenation isn't to look like you've had "work done" – it's about looking like yourself, just refreshed and revitalized. As one plastic surgeon wisely notes, "If the surgery is performed well, the result will be natural in appearance." That natural look is exactly what we aim for at MD Body and Med Spa.
Post-Treatment Care & Longevity Hacks
Your facial rejuvenation journey doesn't end when you leave our office – in many ways, that's just the beginning. How you care for yourself afterward plays a huge role in how long your results will last and how good they'll look.
The First Few Days
Right after treatment, your body will be responding to the changes. For non-surgical treatments, expect some temporary redness, swelling, perhaps some bruising, and tenderness where you were treated. For surgical procedures, you'll get specific instructions from your surgeon about wound care, activities to avoid, and medications to take.
Most adverse events from facial rejuvenation are temporary and include pain, redness, swelling, and bruising – all normal parts of the healing process.
Making Your Results Last
Want to know the single most important thing you can do to maintain your results? Sun protection is absolutely non-negotiable. Every day, rain or shine, indoors or outdoors – wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Add hats and sunglasses for extra protection. This isn't just good advice; it's essential for preserving your investment.
Your daily skincare routine also makes a tremendous difference. Think of it as maintenance for your car – skip it, and things start to deteriorate faster. A good regimen typically includes vitamin C serum in the morning (for antioxidant protection), retinoids at night (to keep collagen production humming), and hydrating products to keep your skin barrier strong and healthy.
Your lifestyle choices show up on your face too. Stay hydrated, eat foods rich in antioxidants, limit alcohol, avoid smoking, and prioritize good sleep. As one skincare expert notes, "80% of skin appearance is driven by homecare, 20% by professional treatments." Your daily habits truly matter that much!
The Maintenance Schedule
Different treatments require different maintenance schedules:
Botox typically needs refreshing every 3-4 months
Fillers can last anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the product and where it's placed
Laser and energy treatments often work best with annual or twice-yearly sessions
At MD Body and Med Spa, we don't just perform treatments and send you on your way. We develop personalized maintenance plans for each client because we're committed to your long-term results. We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients and supporting your skin health journey over time.
Think of facial rejuvenation as a partnership between you and us – we provide the expertise and treatments, while you provide the daily care that makes those results truly shine.
Global Trends & Future Innovations in Facial Rejuvenation
The world of facial rejuvenation is fascinating and constantly evolving, with remarkable differences in approaches across cultures and exciting innovations just over the horizon.
Regional Differences in Facial Rejuvenation
Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder—and that beholder's cultural background significantly shapes what they consider beautiful. This cultural influence extends deeply into how facial rejuvenation is approached around the world.
East Asian and Western approaches to facial improvement reveal fascinating differences in both technique and aesthetic goals. According to a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, East Asian practitioners take a more balanced approach between invasive (58.7%) and non-invasive (41.3%) methods, with laser treatments topping their list of preferred interventions.
Meanwhile, Western practitioners tend to emphasize hyaluronic acid fillers and botulinum toxin injections. This research distribution is telling: North America accounts for 58.4% of facial rejuvenation publications, while East Asia represents 41.6%.
These differences aren't just academic—they reflect genuine variations in beauty ideals:
East Asian patients often seek V-shaped faces, higher nose bridges, and brighter, more luminous skin. The focus tends to be on structural refinement and skin quality.
Western patients typically prioritize reducing visible signs of aging and maintaining youthful volume in the face. The emphasis is more on turning back the clock rather than changing fundamental features.
As one researcher aptly notes, "East Asian and Western populations differ in aesthetic preferences and structural anatomy, guiding targeted treatment development." This cultural sensitivity is essential in developing approaches that honor different ideals of beauty.
While North America currently leads the market for facial rejuvenation techniques, East Asia is racing ahead as the fastest-growing region with a predicted compound annual growth rate exceeding 6.05% from 2019 to 2027.
The COVID pandemic created an unexpected surge in facial rejuvenation procedures—what many industry insiders call the "Zoom Boom." Hours spent on video calls made many of us acutely aware of our facial appearance, driving increased interest in both surgical and non-surgical treatments. For many, seeing themselves on camera all day prompted a desire for refreshment that continues even as in-person work returns.
Emerging Technologies and Approaches
The future of facial rejuvenation sparkles with promise, as several cutting-edge innovations move from research labs into clinical practice.
Regenerative medicine stands at the forefront of this revolution. Stem cell therapies harness the body's own regenerative capabilities to improve skin quality at a cellular level. Alongside them, exosomes—tiny vesicles derived from cells—deliver concentrated growth factors directly to aging skin. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), an advanced cousin of PRP, provides a more sustained release of growth factors for longer-lasting rejuvenation.
Energy-based devices continue to advance in remarkable ways. Pulsed electric field technology preserves the extracellular matrix architecture while effectively rejuvenating skin—minimizing damage while maximizing results. Combination devices that deliver multiple energy types in a single treatment are making procedures more effective and efficient than ever before.
The digital revolution is changing facial rejuvenation too. AI treatment planning software can now analyze facial structure and recommend optimal treatment approaches with remarkable precision. 3D printing enables the creation of custom-designed facial implants for truly personalized improvement. And virtual reality simulation allows patients to visualize potential results before committing to treatment—reducing anxiety and ensuring expectations align with reality.
Perhaps most exciting is the rise of truly personalized medicine. Genetic testing can now determine how individuals will respond to specific treatments, allowing for truly customized approaches. Custom formulations of skincare products and injectables custom to individual genetic profiles promise results that work with your unique biology, not against it.
At MD Body and Med Spa in Greenwood Village, CO, we stay at the forefront of these innovations, continuously evaluating new technologies to offer our clients the most effective, cutting-edge facial rejuvenation options. We believe that embracing innovation while maintaining a human touch is the perfect formula for helping you look and feel your absolute best.
Frequently Asked Questions about Facial Rejuvenation
How long do facial rejuvenation results last?
One of the most common questions I hear in consultations is about how long results will last. The truth is, it really depends on what treatment you choose!
Botox and other neuromodulators typically give you about 3-4 months of smoother skin before muscle movement gradually returns. Many of my clients find they need less product over time as they train those muscles to relax.
If you opt for hyaluronic acid fillers, you'll enjoy your refreshed look for about 6-18 months. The longevity varies based on which product we use and where we place it. Areas with more movement (like lips) tend to metabolize filler faster than more static areas (like cheeks).
For those seeking longer-lasting options, biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra can maintain results for up to 2 years as they work with your body to rebuild collagen naturally.
Energy-based treatments such as lasers, radiofrequency, and ultrasound typically provide improvement for 1-2 years, though I usually recommend maintenance sessions to keep your skin looking its best.
For the longest-lasting results, surgical procedures like facelifts and eyelid surgeries turn back the clock by 5-10+ years. But as one of our plastic surgeon colleagues puts it, "A facelift turns back the clock, but the clock keeps ticking." Surgery doesn't stop aging—it just resets your starting point.
At MD Body and Med Spa, we focus on creating personalized maintenance plans that keep you looking naturally refreshed for years to come. Many clients find the best approach combines different treatment types for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Is facial rejuvenation safe for darker skin tones?
Absolutely yes—but with important considerations. Historically, the aesthetics industry developed many treatments with lighter skin in mind, but I'm happy to say we've made tremendous progress in recent years.
If you have a darker skin tone (Fitzpatrick types IV-VI), here's what you should know:
Your skin has more melanin, which means it's more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—essentially, darkening of the skin after inflammation. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy facial rejuvenation treatments, but it does mean we need to choose them carefully.
At MD Body and Med Spa, we take a thoughtful approach with our darker-skinned clients. We often recommend starting with treatments that have minimal risk of pigmentation changes, such as microneedling (with or without radiofrequency), certain gentler lasers like the 1927nm Moxi, and the popular Clear + Brilliant treatment.
Most injectable treatments are also excellent options regardless of skin tone. Botox and fillers work the same way in all skin types with minimal risk of pigmentation issues.
The most important factor? Working with providers who have extensive experience treating diverse skin types. Our team takes pride in safely and effectively treating clients of all backgrounds. As one specialist in our field wisely notes, we take "a slow and steady approach for darker skin tones to avoid overtreatment."
When is the right age to start facial rejuvenation?
I love this question because it recognizes that facial rejuvenation isn't just about correction—it's also about prevention!
There's no magic age number that's right for everyone. We all age differently based on genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. That said, I can offer some general guidance based on what I've seen work well for clients at different life stages:
In your 20s and early 30s, focus on "prejuvenation"—preventing signs of aging before they appear. This means being religious about sunscreen, developing a quality skincare routine, and perhaps exploring gentle treatments like light chemical peels or Clear + Brilliant laser. Some clients also benefit from preventative Botox, which can stop deep expression lines from forming in the first place.
By your 30s to 40s, you might notice subtle changes like fine lines around the eyes or slight volume loss in the cheeks. This is when many of my clients start incorporating Botox, strategic filler placement, and non-ablative lasers or radiofrequency treatments into their routine.
In your 40s to 50s, we typically shift focus to moderate correction of established wrinkles and more noticeable volume loss. This might include deeper filler placement, more comprehensive energy-based treatments, and possibly consultation about surgical options if desired.
For clients in their 50s and beyond, we often recommend a comprehensive approach that addresses multiple layers of facial aging, frequently combining both surgical and non-surgical techniques for optimal results.
The beauty of starting earlier with less invasive options is that you can often delay or minimize the need for more aggressive treatments later. At MD Body and Med Spa, we pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with our clients, adapting your treatment plan as your needs evolve through different life stages.
The best time to start is whenever you first notice changes that bother you—whether you're 25 or 75, we're here to help you look and feel your best.
