Six Needle-Free Facial Treatments That Give Great Results
The cosmetic surgeon’s needle is, for better or worse, a sign of our times. Whether it’s Botox (to smooth out wrinkles), filler (to enhance one’s features) or mesotherapy (to revitalise skin), treatments that involve injecting our faces in pursuit of a confidence boost have boomed in the past two decades. Indeed, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Botox procedures for men in the US soared by 182 per cent between 2000 and 2020. Were we ever quite so vain? We’d raise our eyebrows, but they’ve been frozen in place.
High-horsery aside, there’s plenty of things you can do to look good without becoming a human pincushion. It is more than possible to get great (and often more natural-looking) results from lighter-touch treatments without so much as seeing a syringe. Needlephobes rejoice! We’re not talking the frustratingly short lived “post-facial glow” here, either – but tangible, long-term results that address everything from acne scars to hyperpigmentation and fine lines. Here, six no-needle treatments to put on your radar now.
