Minimally invasive cosmetic procedures are growing in popularity every year, offering spectacular results without requiring long recovery periods. In 2022, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has established its ranking of the top five minimally invasive procedures for achieving visible and natural results. Discover in this article the most popular innovations and techniques to enhance your appearance safely.

1. Neuromodulator Injections
These injections, commonly known by their brand names Botox®, Dysport®, Xéomine®, and Jeuveau®, remain the most popular minimally invasive procedure. This procedure works by preventing facial muscles from contracting, giving temporary smoothness to facial wrinkles such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles caused by routine facial movements.

2. Soft Tissue Fillers/HA Fillers
Next come injectable hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm Ultra.®, UltraPlus®, Voluma®, Volbella®, Vollure®, Restylane Lyft®, Restylane Soie®, Belotero®, Bolvela®, and Restylane®. They temporarily restore volume and smooth lines and wrinkles on the face without incisions. Results are immediate and recovery time is short.

3. Skin Resurfacing

These procedures resurface the top layer of the skin (epidermis) in a variety of ways to stimulate collagen so that the skin is healthier and younger-looking, giving patients a more radiant complexion. Methods include dermabrasion, chemical peels, lasers, and microdermabrasion. They improve the appearance and texture of the skin, leaving it tight and rejuvenated.

4. Skin Treatments

Skin treatments can help address a variety of issues in a minimally invasive way. Combination laser treatments use different wavelengths to treat multiple skin concerns simultaneously, providing a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments improve skin tone and texture by targeting pigmentation irregularities, redness, or sun damage.

5. Lip Augmentation

This procedure is growing in popularity, offering patients a minimally invasive way to enhance the volume and shape of their lips with filler. The filler is injected to achieve a natural, customizable transformation, temporarily resulting in plumper, more defined contours. Results are often immediate and the recovery period is short.
