What Is Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics?

Non-surgical facial aesthetics covers procedures done without a surgical incision. They are used to work on skin quality, soften lines, define the facial contour and slow the signs of ageing. The methods usually involve injectable products, energy-based devices and skin renewal techniques.

To find out which method suits you, you can read our frequently asked questions or book an examination. For more on filler, see What Is Filler?

Main Methods in Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics

The methods are grouped by the effect they aim for:

• Filler: Hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating products are used to restore lost volume and shape the contour. See What Is Filler?
• Botox: Temporarily limits muscle movement to soften expression lines. See Botox in Ankara
• Mesotherapy: Injections of vitamins, minerals and moisturising substances into the skin to support skin quality. See What Is Mesotherapy?
• PRP (platelet-rich plasma): Uses growth factors from your own blood to support skin renewal. See Hair PRP Treatment
• Biorevitalization (the "youth shot"): Aims to improve the skin's moisture and elasticity. See The Youth Shot

Who Can It Be Considered For?

Non-surgical methods can be considered for people who do not want surgery, look for a short recovery and aim for a mild to moderate change in the face. If there is marked sagging or a structural concern, surgical options such as rhinoplasty or blepharoplasty may be a better fit.

The Limits of Non-Surgical Methods

Non-surgical methods give temporary or medium-term effects, and most of them have to be repeated at set intervals to keep the effect. If you are aiming for a change in bone structure, marked tissue sagging or a lasting change in shape, surgery may be more suitable. Which approach is right for you is decided at the examination.
