The field of aesthetics is constantly evolving, but some trends remain at the forefront because of their proven effectiveness and versatility. In my practice, I’m observing a mix of long-time favorites and newer approaches that cater to patients looking for natural, preventative, and regenerative results. Here are the top trends I’m seeing and why they’re so popular:
- Botox: The Perennial Favorite
Cosmetic Botox continues to reign as the most popular treatment in my office, and for good reason—it’s incredibly effective. While many patients still come in seeking to soften frown lines between the brows that give them an angry or tired appearance, I’m also seeing a younger demographic embracing Botox for enhancement and prevention.- Trending Uses: The lip flip, where Botox relaxes the muscles around the mouth to subtly enhance the upper lip, is especially popular. Younger patients are also using Botox as a preventative measure, recognizing that starting early can keep wrinkles from forming altogether.
- Why It Works: Botox is quick, effective, and versatile. Whether for prevention or correction, it remains a go-to for those looking to maintain a refreshed, youthful appearance.
- Filler Treatments for Natural Enhancements
Dermal fillers remain a cornerstone of aesthetic treatments, offering the ability to restore lost volume or enhance specific features. In 2024, the emphasis is on subtlety and natural results.- Popular Areas: Lip enhancements with fillers continue to be a top request, with patients looking for soft, natural volume rather than the overfilled look. Cheek and temple fillers are also trending, as they help restore volume loss that occurs with age, lifting and contouring the face.
- Why Patients Love It: With advancements in filler technology and techniques, we can now achieve incredibly natural results. Patients appreciate the ability to look like the best version of themselves without appearing “done.”
- Microneedling with PRP or Exosomes: Regenerative Therapy on the Rise
There’s a growing interest in treatments that leverage the body’s natural healing processes to rejuvenate the skin. Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or exosomes has become a favorite for those seeking effective, natural results.- Why It’s Trending: These treatments are loved for their ability to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity without introducing synthetic substances. PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate collagen production, while exosomes, derived from stem cells, take the results to the next level by amplifying healing and cellular regeneration.
- Who It’s For: Patients looking to treat fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation are finding these treatments to be highly effective, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
- Chemical Peels Every Three Months: The Maintenance Magic
Patients are increasingly recognizing the importance of routine care to maintain their results, and chemical peels are the perfect way to do this. Scheduling a peel every three months has become a staple for many of my patients.- Why Patients Love It: Chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells, hydrate the skin, and improve its overall texture and tone. Pairing a peel with Botox every three months is a powerhouse combination for prevention and maintenance. This routine keeps the skin glowing while keeping wrinkles at bay.
- Results to Love: Regular peels not only maintain the results of other treatments but also boost the efficacy of at-home skincare routines by preparing the skin to absorb products better.
- Simplified, High-Quality Skincare at Home
With the overwhelming number of skincare products available at drugstores and online, many patients come to me seeking guidance for a simple yet effective routine. They’re no longer interested in complicated 10-step regimens—they want quality over quantity.- What’s Trending: Patients are gravitating toward professional-grade products that deliver results, such as medical-grade retinols, antioxidants, and SPF. They want products that complement the treatments they receive in-office, helping to prolong their effects.
- Our Approach: We work with patients to customize a streamlined routine that fits their skin type and lifestyle. By focusing on a few high-quality products, patients can achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin without unnecessary hassle.
Looking Ahead: Combining Treatments for Optimal Results
One common theme in all of these trends is the power of combining treatments. Patients are seeing incredible results when they pair regular Botox sessions with chemical peels or microneedling with high-quality skincare. These combinations amplify the effects of each treatment, offering both immediate improvements and long-term benefits.
At the end of the day, patients want to look and feel like the best version of themselves. By tailoring treatments to their unique goals and embracing a preventative, maintenance-focused approach, we’re able to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
