We have been on our phones and computers more than ever these past 2 years, from Zoom meetings to FaceTime calls, never have we stared at our faces more – and had the chance to pick out every little thing that’s wrong. There’s also a trend of wanting that ‘I woke up like this’ effortlessly perfect, sans makeup look since who’s really putting on makeup anymore to stay home? Cosmetic clinics around the world have reported surges in bookings for surgical and non-surgical treatments following the pandemic to ‘fix’ features like wrinkles, crooked noses, sagging skin, small lips, puffy eyes, etc and look more like a flawless filter.

Thankfully, with technology advances, going under the knife isn’t always necessary anymore and non-surgical treatments have taken over with impressive impacts from lasers, fillers and peels. Here are the top procedures that are currently trending:

Fluffy brows are in. The microblading alternative has taken over the gram ‘laminates’ your brows so they stay straight up and perfectly in place for up to 6 weeks. It’s non-invasive compared to microblading, as it uses your own brows and adds a gentle perm solution, neutralizing lotion, and moisturizing treatment to straighten and lift for the perfect geled-in-place look.

Both men and women are after that snatched body. The ideal body type for women has become the perfect hourglass with a flat stomach, which is virtually impossible to attain naturally (and no, a million squats won’t get you that body alone). For men, they want the inverted pyramid with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Both are done with a variety of treatments, depending on what your body currently looks like. Fat reduction procedures like SculpSure, skin tightening like Thermage and muscle-enhancements like Emsculpt are all used to create the perfect sculpture.
