The increasing pollution, lifestyle, environmental factors, natural aging process, and many other factors have a direct impact on our facial skin which results in wrinkles, pimples, fine lines, age spots, uneven skin tones, and many kinds of facial problems. These can lead to a dull appearance of the face and ultimately, the charm and lustrous quality of one's face gets decreased. But no need to worry now! Medical science has innovated some special facial treatments to protect the face from being surrounded by these signs of aging. These are known as 'facial aesthetics.'

'Facial Aesthetics', also known as 'facial rejuvenation treatments' is one of those non-surgical procedures which are commonly used to prevent the facial skin from the effects of natural aging and other factors responsible for the harm caused to the skin. It helps in providing a more radiant and adorable appearance to people. They basically perform the tasks of softening wrinkles and pimples, contouring the face, defining certain required facial features, and many more. It involves lots of procedures to prevent the skin from early or natural aging and enhance facial beauty such as wrinkle reduction, dermal fillers, PCI, PRC, and many more. Before performing these treatments on the patient, many relevant factors like skin tone, facial history, allergies, and many more are needed to be considered before achieving the results judiciously. However, some treatments are not considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Facial Aesthetics- Treatment

'Facial aesthetics' involve many kinds of treatments for preventing early aging. Some of the treatments are as follows:

1. Wrinkle Treatments: In the wrinkle treatments, a natural substance called, Botulinum toxin type A which is derived from a microorganism and is a neurotoxin, is injected. It helps in relaxing the facial muscles and reducing the dull appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pimples, blackheads, etc. It does so by blocking the nerve impulses going towards the muscles and as a result, the facial skin gets softened and the wrinkles disrupting the daily facial expressions start getting reduced slowly.

2. Dermal Filler Treatments: They can be considered as one of safe and natural cosmetic treatments. In these procedures, a gel-like substance known as 'dermal filler' is used and injected beneath the facial skin. The most popular known dermal filler is 'Hyaluronic acid.' The dermal fillers help in restoring the sudden loss of facial volume, smoothening the fine lines present on the skin, and enhancing the facial contours. They are very helpful in enhancing the charm of the skin and improving its appearance. These are best for deeper lines and wrinkles. Many other facial features like lips and cheeks can also be improved using the dermal fillers' treatment to make them appear fuller.

3. Automated percutaneous collagen induction therapy (PCI): PCI, expanded as 'Percutaneous Collagen Induction', also known as 'micro needling', is also one of the facial aesthetics treatments which is basically used to perforate the mid and upper layers of the facial skin causing micro-trauma. A kind of small and sterile needle is used in this procedure. Basically, the needle prick initiates a healing process in the facial skin for producing new collagen and skin cells. The effects of this treatment are very immediate and long-lasting, i.e., durable.

4. Platelet-rich concentrate (PRC): Actually, PRC (Platelet-rich concentrate) is a kind of natural healing serum present in the blood of the human body. In this treatment, that serum is isolated from the blood and used for stimulating the facial skin cells, which ultimately helps in producing collagen and elastin. It helps in getting a more youthful and attractive facial appearance as a whole.

5. Aquagold Treatment: In this treatment, a 24-carat gold screw thread microinjection is injected deeply into the facial skin which delivers many kinds of ingredients such as Hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants, and pigment reducers painlessly. The hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated, the vitamins and antioxidants help in improving the healing process after the laser, and pigment reducers are a perfect match for sunblock and sunscreen.

6. Skin Peels: It is also one of the safe and immediate effects causing non-surgical procedure which helps to boost the appearance of the facial skin. In this procedure, a peeling agent of low concentration is applied to the skin, and then, the top layer of the dead skin peels off and resulting in the accelerated growth of the skin cells and ultimately, the facial skin starts looking more smoother, younger, and feeling firmer.

7.Thread Face Lift Treatment: This type of treatment does not require any kind of surgical intervention, indeed it involves the placement of thin lifting threads subdermally to reset the V shape of the face. Apart from this, it is also effective in stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the facial skin. The parts and areas of the chin, forehead, cheeks, lips, throat, jawline, eyebrows, double chin, thin folds, wrinkles, and many more can be lifted with the help of this specific kind of treatment. A thin needle is inserted under the skin and the thread used is thinner than even a hair strand and consists of polydioxanone (PDO).

8. Profhilo Treatment: This treatment is performed on those people who are having symptoms of early aging. In this procedure, a stabilized injectable hyaluronic acid-free chemical known as 'Profhilo' is used for treating skin laxity.

9. Jawline Fillers Treatment: This treatment can be used for both men and women. The hyaluronic acid is injected in the jawlines of men who deal with a very chiseled appearance and for women, it is helpful to restore a more youthful and adorable look by the upward lifting of the jowls.

10. Marionette Lines: Due to the skin loosening in the cheeks and lower parts of the face, some long vertical lines known as 'marionette lines' develop on each side of the chin which looks very dull. But these marionette lines can be treated with the help of dermal fillers, PDO threads, and skin boosters. After applying these, the skin becomes softened again and plumps up as earlier.

11. Lip Enhancement Treatment: In this treatment, the lower lip is made fuller than the upper one. A topical anesthetic is applied to the lips and then, hyaluronic acid dermal filler is injected inside the lips to shape them. The results are instant and complete.

12. Face Shape Sculpting: More sculpted cheekbones and a sharper jawline can rejuvenate and flatter any kind of face shape. With the help of dermal fillers and wrinkle treatment, volume can be added to the structure of the lips and ultimately, the face shape will be sculpted as required.

13. Dorsal Hump Nose Correction: With the help of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, the nose can be sculpted and the hump on it can be removed. The results last up to 12 months. This procedure is totally painless as prior, a numbing cream is applied on the nose, and after that, small amounts of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are injected around the nose to alter its shape from normal.

14. Chin Sculpting: This procedure also involves the injection of hyaluronic acid inside the chins to gain some volume inside them. It can be used for people with a weak chin, small chin, or some kind of irregularities in the chin. The 'Golden Ratio' of facial beauty is followed during this kind of treatment.

15. Cheek Fillers: This treatment can be used to balance the face by working on the cheekbones. Here, above the cheekbones, some temporary fillers like Restylane, Juvederm (hyaluronic acid) or Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite), or Ellanse (Polycaprolactone) are injected inside the cheekbones to add more volume to the.
