Ten Leading Beauty Treatments for 2023

1. The new naked face

Beauty is shrinking and the overfilled, over-smoothed ‘plastic face’ trend is over. The secret to the new flawless face is skin remodelling, where precise placement of multiple small amounts of skin stimulating injectables are used instead of heavy dermal fillers. Say hello to Profhilo, a hyaluronic-acid injectable that delivers long lasting hydration and remodels the skin by promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which smooths and tightens skin.

2. Mood boosting treatments

The mood shift in 2023 is that, instead of investing in instant hits of luxury, we’re all looking for things that will relieve stress and help us face the ever changing world. Which is why the popularity of A-list worthy look and feel good treatments is on the increase.

“Whether you’re looking to slow down the effects of time through cosmetic treatments or improve your wellbeing on a deep cellular level – at Remedi London we have over 30 medical therapies and devices to pick from, including biohacking programs, mindfulness classes, yoga, sound therapy, vitamin infusions and aesthetic procedures. Treatments are personalised and tailored to a patient’s unique needs under the guidance of the very best physicians and experts in their respected fields,” explains Dr Nima of Remedi London.

3. Doughnut lips

If you want to get the new glazed doughnut lip trend without overfilling your lips, look no further than these needle-free alternatives. The Alma Laser Lip Lift at DrMediSpa uses non-invasive laser technology to create volume within the lips, while giving skin around the mouth area a smooth appearance. For an at-home treatment, the Croma Regenerating Lip Mask, £48 for 8 masks is infused with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and berry ferment that moisturises, softens and plumps lips.

4. Needle free face lift

The days of only being able to lift and sculpt your face by having injectables are over. Instead discover, Sofwave™, the ultimate needle-free, non-invasive aesthetic treatment that boosts collagen production, lifts eyebrows, and improves lines, wrinkles, skin laxity and loss of volume.

“Sofwave™ has managed to awchieve exactly what is needed to get optimal results with just the right amount of energy and depth. Results are impressive, consistent, and repeatable,” explains Dr Munir Somji at DrMediSpa.

5. Brow-tox

One of the first areas to show signs of ageing is the eye area and the fastest, most efficient way of banishing sagging skin and eyelid drooping is by having ‘Brow-tox’. Injections are strategically placed around your brows, giving them an instant lift and a defined shape. Brow-tox also helps to open up the eye area, eliminate droopy eyes and give eyes the lift they need.

6. Facelift lite

Non-stop zoom meetings have forced us to stare at our faces for far too long and made us hyper aware of the early onset of skin laxity over the lower parts of the face. Surgical face and neck lifts are an effective way of treating severe sagging and jowls, with results lasting 10 years.

But, if you want a less invasive and less costly way of tackling early-onset sagging, look no further than EndoLift®, the innovative, minimally invasive alternative treatment to a surgical face lift. Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai explains: “This treatment allows me to target festoons, eyebags and the lower face and neck, giving visible results without the cost, downtime and associated risks of surgery.”

The treatment utilises a laser through a single-use micro-optical fibre which is as thin as a hair and easily inserted under the skin. The laser energy selectively targets water and fat, effectively melting the fat while simultaneously stimulating collagen production. This causes immediate skin retraction and also reduces skin laxity. EndoLift® is available at Dr Sabrina’s clinic, perfecteyesltd.com.

7. Balanced skin

This is the year to upgrade the active skin strengthening ingredients that you use to support your skin barrier and microbiome. “Microbiome exists to keep your skin in balance and enhance its barrier which helps keep external irritants out, lock moisture in, and transport nutrients,” explains Dr Amiee Vyas. Each serum in the Croma Farewell Serum range, £109 for 30ml is targeted to treat specific skin conditions with supercharged actives.  

8. Body boost

Imagine a treatment that eliminates excess fat while tightening the skin without needles, scalpels, stitches or general anaesthesia. AirSculpt®, the sought after A-List body contouring procedure developed by Dr Aaron Rollins, is here. It’s a fast- acting body shaping procedure that is designed to permanently eliminate excess fat and tighten the skin.

Unlike traditional tumescent liposuction, which uses a cannula to break up the fat, AirSculpt® utilises a less-invasive proprietary cannula gently ‘pluck’ fat and has the added benefit of skin tightening, as the heat produced during the procedure promotes new collagen production and a degree of skin tightening. AirSculpt® is available at Elite Body Sculpture, 51 Harley Street, London.

9. Tooth tech

Meet your mouth’s new must have… a personalised and custom made smile. Using the innovative Digital Smile Design concept, Dr Sandra Garcia Martin (sandrabigsmile.co.uk), an award winning Harley Street cosmetic dentist, creates her bespoke smiles. The high-tech system lets you design your dream smile, as well as view and experience the result before starting treatment, by using enhanced digital photography and video analysis. You then get to discuss your options to achieve a ‘Smile Rejuvenation’ with Dr Sandra.

10. Scalp health

Caring for your scalp is about to become as important as caring for your skin. Why? Because dry skin, clogged or infected follicles, dead skin cells and lack of circulation all contribute to poor scalp health, which in turn can contribute towards poor hair quality. The answer? To take care of your scalp like you do your skin.

For a professional treatment try HydraFacial Keravive, which consists of three treatments booked one month apart to deep cleanse, stimulate scalp circulation and deliver a blend of five growth factors and two skin proteins encased in nano-liposomes to help support the scalp. For an at home treatment try the six week Calecim Advanced Hair System, £315, which stimulates hair growth by reinvigorating the hair follicle.
