We did the research, and now you have the answers. Here are the top 10 trends for aesthetic cosmetic treatments this year – including products, procedures and popular styles for looks.

1. THE ANTI-ZOOM BOOM - RETURN TO REALITY

It used to be that we could hide a lot with Zoom filters, ring lights and sitting farther away from our computer cameras when we were spending most of our time on video calls. Now that we’re attending in-person events again, many have felt the push to get tweakments to look their best in real life. Choose from lasers, injectables and thread lifts, to name a few ways of tightening and smoothing your face and body. 

2. THE RISE OF CHIN ENHANCEMENTS - A BALANCING ACT

The chin has long been neglected as an important facial feature, but it’s finally time it’s realized as the structural champion it is. There’s a genuine need for a strong chin to complete a perfect profile balance and lengthen the look of one’s neck, contributing to an overall thinner appearance of the face. For temporary improvement of facial harmony, fillers are a great option. Tightening and lifting the jawline with laser, Bellafill or PDO treatments can add to 360º facial symmetry.

3. COMBINATION PROCEDURES - CAN IT GET ANY EASIER?

Combining or “stacking” procedures, such as surgeries with minimally invasive treatments, can also save time and possible costs. Strategic combinations can also lead to better results with less downtime. For example, adding lasers or ultrasounds to injectable treatments can have more efficacy and better lasting results.

This idea is an excellent option for patients who want to address multiple concerns at once rather than going through numerous recovery periods and taking time away from work and other responsibilities.

4. NEW INJECTABLE USES - FOR NATURAL ENHANCEMENTS

The use of hyaluronic acid fillers, like Juvéderm®, as skin boosters saw a significant rise last year and will peak in 2023 as we all see their contribution to the stimulation of collagen and elastin. Botox isn’t just for smoothing your facial wrinkles anymore, especially when used simultaneously with fillers to diminish or enhance particular features with natural-looking results.

5. RADIOFREQUENCY SKIN TIGHTENING - A NONSURGICAL SOLUTION

Sagging skin was once only fixed by going under the knife. But we can now treat many skin laxity concerns on the body or face with the latest radiofrequency energy devices. Significant results have been particularly seen with thinner skin, like on the arms, which contour easily and lift well.

6. NO SURGERY BROW LIFTS - AN UPLIFTING IDEA

Botox has a major lifting effect on the brow and can create a fresh, younger-looking face. The new trend is using PDO threads as an alternative or simultaneous option for raising lax skin in the forehead. At Krch Aesthetic, we use both modalities for various parts of the face but still prefer the tried and true Botox as the best and safest option for a smoother, more youthful brow area. 

7. THE MODERN MAN - UNASHAMED

Males of all ages are more openly admitting to having treatments. And now that the word is out, we expect the lack of shame surrounding cosmetic procedures to allow for a significant increase in appointments for men. It’s not just Botox anymore; all genders are signing up for IPL facials and fillers to serve their best looks for face and body.

8. EARLIER AGE PREVENTION - LOOK YOUNGER, LONGER

Injectibles, premium facial treatments and nonsurgical facelifts are becoming more popular for people of any age. Typically reserved for older patients, younger patients are now considering an earlier start to age prevention. There’s no need to wait until it’s necessary to revamp already wrinkled and sagging skin when you can keep it from happening in the first place.

9. INDIVIDUALIZATION - LOVE YOURSELF

Are you trying to look like your favorite celeb or social media personality? Not in 2023. It’s about time we all enhanced our natural beauty and looked like the best version of ourselves. Don’t hide what makes you different; accentuate it.

10. COLLAGEN-STIMULATING PROCEDURES AND EXOSOMES

The latest in biological enhancements come from within a patient. Breakthroughs with cells, plasma and procedures that encourage regrowth and revitalization of your own body systems are happening all the time. Although these treatments are predicted to increase in popularity in 2023, we at Krch Aesthetic Medicine are still waiting for the research to catch up to the science before we add them to our repertoire.

As you can see, the trends are shifting so that more people can feel comfortable considering more cosmetic enhancements without fearing looking unnatural or unlike themselves. We seem to be moving toward looking more like our best selves and finding inner confidence from outer appearances without judgment.
