Hectic work schedules, packed social calendars and demanding families – is it little wonder that our faces often show the strain of our modern busy lives? Factor in the typically harsh British weather and it’s hardly surprising that many of us have lines and wrinkles, tired skin and a dull complexion at this time of year. However, help is at hand – and it doesn’t have to involve invasive plastic surgery.
No, there’s now a whole range of non-surgical treatments which can give your face a little pick-me-up from time to time. They don’t cost the earth, they’re quick to administer and the results are usually seen almost instantly. Here’s five to think about this summer.
Five Non-Surgical Treatments For Your Face
Facial peels
Facial peels are available in a range of formulations, each suiting a different skin type or need. By removing the dead skin cells that can clog pores, peels improve skin texture to create a smoother complexion and younger and healthier looking skin.
Dermaroller
If your skin is damaged, as well as dull and tired, then Dermaroller may be worth considering. Dermaroller can treat a whole range of issues, from acne and sun damage to wrinkles and pigmentation problems. It involves using the Genuine Dermaroller device, which rolls over the skin, penetrating it with tiny needles to create a smoother and brighter complexion.
Dermal fillers
If you’re worried about lines and wrinkles, then dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Sculptra or Restylane could help. They gently soften wrinkles and fill out hollows, making them a great non-surgical alternative to going under the knife. The results are immediate and can last up to 18 months.
Semi-permanent make-up
Many of us are time poor at the moment but still want to look at our best every day. To help with this, practitioners can apply subtle, natural-looking semi-permanent make-up to save you the effort of applying eyeliner, mascara and brow/lip pencil every day. The results can last anywhere between one and three years, depending on what you need.
CACI facial toning
Looking for facelift-esque results without a facelift? Then CACI facial toning could be the answer. This safe and completely painless treatment helps combat muscle tone by re-educating all 32 facial muscles with a soft, cotton-tipped wand which transmits tiny currents of energy to the face.
By using one, or a combination of, these treatments, you need never worry about not putting your best face forward or standing out from the crowd this summer.

I really need to try the semi-permanent make-up. Seems like a subtle, natural-looking solution to those days where I don’t have a great deal of time.
I have always used different facial peels and masks but I had never really heard of dermaroller until now. I am going to be looking into it and I am excited to see the results from it!
Facial peels are great because unlike cosmetic surgery, it allows you to work with an aesthetician. After a consultation they can specifically design the treatment around your skin type so that you see the best results.
I think facial peels are a great way to go to get into treatments for your face, their easy and you do get to see gradual results. I would try a face peel before anything else.
