How to rejuvenate your face through aesthetic treatments ?

Aesthetic-oriented medicine now offers many solutions to rejuvenate the face in a progressive and natural way. Most of these treatments are non-surgical, minimally invasive, and well tolerated. They help reduce wrinkles, restore volume, improve skin quality, and bring radiance back to the complexion, without altering facial expression.
Among the most commonly used techniques are hyaluronic acid injections, botulinum toxin, peels, laser treatments, and mesotherapy. Each method responds to specific indications and is not suited in the same way to every face. The choice of treatment depends on age, morphology, skin condition, and the patient’s expectations.
This is why a comprehensive and personalized facial analysis is essential before any treatment. The physician establishes a complete diagnosis in order to identify the areas to be treated and define an appropriate strategy. Care can thus be part of a preventive, corrective, or maintenance approach.
The follow-up takes place over time, with the objective of preserving facial harmony, respecting identity, and achieving a natural and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques to enhance a face

Restore facial proportions

Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers make it possible to restore or rebalance facial volumes. A denser gel is used to correct a forehead that is too narrow, enhance the cheekbones, project a chin that is not sufficiently defined, or widen a face that is too elongated. These injections also make it possible to correct certain asymmetries, particularly in the cheek area.

Reduce or conceal certain imperfections

Hyaluronic acid can be used to temporarily correct certain irregularities, such as an uneven nose, pronounced frontal bumps, or hollow dark circles present from a young age. It can also improve the shape of the mouth or slightly lift the corners. Use on naturally very thin lips must remain measured in order to preserve a harmonious profile.

Brighten and refresh the face

By working on the management of shadows and light, injections make it possible to restore radiance to the face. A more fluid hyaluronic acid, sometimes combined with botulinum toxin, is used to smooth certain areas and improve light reflection. This approach provides a long-lasting healthy-glow effect and reduces the need for makeup, both in women and in men.

Soften and feminize certain features

Injections can be used to harmonize an overly pronounced forehead, fill hollow temples, or restore softness to the cheeks. They can also slightly enhance the cheekbones, open up the eyes, or soften the shape of the nose when indicated. Fillers can also discreetly correct the mouth or the corners of the lips in order to bring more softness to the facial expression.

Enhance and masculinize certain contours

In men, hyaluronic acid makes it possible to highlight features by accentuating certain structures. It can enhance the brow ridges, give more definition to the cheekbones, correct a nose considered too thin, or reshape the jawline. Targeted injections at the mandibular angle and the chin help structure the lower face without resorting to surgery.

Hyaluronic acid for a plump and harmonious face

Hyaluronic acid injections are the ideal solution for restoring volume and refreshing the face. Thanks to its hydrating and volumizing properties, this treatment helps to :

  • Plump the lips for a more sensual and harmonious smile.
  • Fill in wrinkles and fine lines (nasolabial folds, marionette lines, forehead wrinkles).
  • Restore lost volume in the cheekbones and temples area.
  • Redefine the facial oval for a natural lifting effect.

The results are immediate and last on average 6 to 18 months, depending on the treated area and the type of hyaluronic acid used.

Botulinum toxin for expression lines

Expression lines (forehead lines, glabellar lines, crow’s feet) can sometimes give a tired or severe look. Injections of botulinum toxin help relax these muscles while preserving a natural expression.

  • Immediate rejuvenating effect without surgery.
  • Prevention of skin aging by limiting the formation of deep wrinkles.
  • More open and luminous eyes.

Botulinum toxin injection is a quick, painless procedure with no social downtime, with results visible within 3 to 7 days and a duration of action of 4 to 6 months.

Facial Contouring : sculpting and balancing features

Thanks to hyaluronic acid injections, it is possible to reshape the face without surgery. This technique, known as medical contouring, makes it possible to :

  • Slim and define the jawline for a more sculpted effect.
  • Enhance the chin to improve the profile.
  • Enhance the cheekbones and give an instant healthy-glow effect.
  • Correct a nose without surgery thanks to medical rhinoplasty.

Injection-based contouring is a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery, with natural results that can be adjusted over time.

Treatments for radiant and even skin

A luminous complexion is one of the key elements of a harmonious face. Several solutions exist to achieve flawless skin :

  • Chemical peels to exfoliate and treat imperfections.
  • Mesotherapy to hydrate and revitalize the skin in depth.
  • Skinboosters (fluid hyaluronic acid) to smooth and plump the skin.
  • The laser to correct pigment spots and improve skin quality.

These techniques are suitable for all skin types, helping to even out the complexion, reduce irregularities, and provide a long-lasting glow.

Enhancing facial aesthetics with a global approach

Facial enhancement is not limited to injectable treatments. Other key factors contribute to overall facial harmony :

  • Good hydration and a balanced diet for healthy skin.
  • Daily sun protection to prevent premature skin aging.
  • A suitable skincare routine with targeted cosmetics (antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, retinol).

How to keep a beautiful face ?

A radiant and harmonious face is above all based on healthy and balanced skin. In aesthetic-oriented medicine, the priority is to take care of the skin, maintain its proper functioning, and act preventively in order to limit the appearance of signs of aging. When necessary, targeted treatments can also correct certain imperfections while respecting the natural features of the face.
The skin of the face is particularly fragile. Thinner than the skin on the rest of the body, it is constantly exposed to external aggressions such as the sun, pollution, stress, or climatic variations. These factors gradually alter its quality and can lead to a loss of radiance, an uneven complexion, the appearance of wrinkles, or skin laxity. Preserving this skin capital is therefore essential to keep a healthy face in the long term.
Thanks to a management adapted to each patient, it is now possible to sustainably maintain the quality of facial skin, prevent skin aging, enhance the face, and preserve a natural appearance, in line with the patient’s identity and age.

What are the different face shapes ?

Each face is unique and has its own characteristics. However, it is possible to classify faces into major morphological categories in order to better analyze their proportions and adapt aesthetic treatments in a personalized way.
Generally, eight face morphologies are distinguished.

  • The oval face, with balanced proportions.
  • The square face, characterized by a defined jawline.
  • The diamond-shaped face, with prominent cheekbones and a narrower forehead.
  • The elongated face, longer than it is wide.
  • The round face, with soft contours.
  • The rectangular face, similar to the square face but longer.
  • The triangular face, with a jawline wider than the forehead.
  • The inverted triangle face, characterized by a broad forehead and a slimmer chin.

How do you analyse a face ?

The analysis of a face always begins with observing its overall harmony before studying each area in detail. Each face has its own balance, which should be respected.
Whatever the face shape, the examination is traditionally carried out from top to bottom according to three thirds. The upper third includes the forehead, eyebrows, and temples. The middle third includes the eyes, upper and lower eyelids, the nose, and the cheekbones. The lower third concerns the cheeks, lips, the facial oval, and the chin.
The physician then analyzes facial symmetry, and then studies the profile in order to assess volumes and projections. This precise analysis is essential to propose treatments that are appropriate and natural.
Analyzing a face involves examining its proportions and its characteristics.

  • Symmetry.
  • Proportions : the balance between the different parts of the face.
  • Specific features : size of eyes, shape of nose, fullness of lips, etc.
  • Skin quality : overall condition of the skin, presence of wrinkles, imperfections, or scars.

How to take care of your face ?

The face plays an essential role in our daily life. It allows us to perceive the world, communicate, express our emotions, and create the first contact with others. Always visible, it reflects our personality, our state of health, and our overall well-being.
Taking care of your face consists in preserving skin quality, respecting the balance of facial features, and supporting their evolution over time. Modern aesthetic care makes it possible to improve radiance, shape, and facial harmony without resorting to surgery, thanks to adapted and personalized techniques.
The objective is to enhance the natural beauty of the face, strengthen self-confidence, and achieve discreet results, in line with the identity and expectations of each patient.

How long does recovery take after an aesthetic treatment to enhance the face ?

Most aesthetic facial treatments are non-invasive, which means that recovery time is generally short. For example, botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid injections do not require downtime, while treatments such as lasers or medium and deep chemical peels can cause a few days of social downtime.

The duration of results depends on the treatment. Botulinum toxin injections generally last between five and six months, while hyaluronic acid injections can last between ten and twelve months. The effects of thread lifts can last up to two years. The benefits of superficial peels disappear after a few months.

There is no face shape considered “the most beautiful”, because the perception of beauty is subjective and varies according to cultures and individual preferences. However, the oval face shape is often considered the ideal shape.

The beauty of a face is subjective, but certain criteria can help.

  • Symmetry : symmetrical faces (although there is no such thing as perfect symmetry) are often perceived as more attractive.
  • Proportions : a good balance between the different parts of the face.
  • Skin : smooth, blemish-free skin is often an indicator of beauty.
  • Expressions : a natural smile and warm expressions can make a face more beautiful.

The “perfect face” is often assessed according to the golden ratio (1.618). To calculate this ratio :
Measure the length of the face : from the top of the forehead to the bottom of the chin.
Divide this measurement by the width of the face (taken at the level of the cheekbones) : if the ratio is close to 1.618, the face is considered harmonious according to the principles of the golden ratio.

The faces that age best often have the following characteristics :

  • Good bone structure.
  • Thick, elastic skin : which means fewer wrinkles and less sagging.
  • Well-hydrated skin, regularly maintained with at-home skincare and aesthetic-oriented medicine treatments.

A harmonious face is characterised by :

  • Symmetry : the two sides of the face are similar, but there is no such thing as perfect symmetry.
  • Balanced proportions : good relationship between the different parts of the face, ideally respecting the perfect proportion given by the PHI golden ratio.
  • Well-defined features.

The main proportions of a face refer to :

  • Golden ratio : ideally 1.618 between the length and width of the face. This perfect proportion also exists between the elements of the face.
  • Three equal sections : from the hairline to the eyebrows, from the eyebrows to the base of the nose and from the base of the nose to the chin.
  • Horizontal symmetry : the width of the eyes must be equal to the distance between them.

Anyone who wishes to improve the harmony and morphology of their face can benefit from aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques. Treatments are personalized, whether the goal is to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, treat imperfections, or revitalize the skin.

It is essential to consult an experienced physician to assess your needs and discuss your objectives. The physician will be able to recommend the most suitable treatments based on your morphology, your aesthetic concerns, and your expectations, in order to guarantee optimal and satisfying results.

To find out the shape of your face, you can :

  • Measure the width of your forehead : from temple to temple.
  • Measure the width of your cheekbones : at the widest part of your face.
  • Measure the width of your jaw : from one jaw angle to the other.
  • Measure the length of your face : from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin.


Compare these measures :

  • If your face is longer than it is wide, with rounded contours, it is probably oval.
  • If your face is as wide as it is long, it could be round.
  • If your jaw is the widest part, you may have a square or rectangular face.

The most attractive face shape varies according to individual preferences, but the oval face is often considered the ideal face because it has harmonious proportions.

A beautiful face is often characterised by :

  • Symmetry.
  • Balanced proportions.
  • Healthy skin.
  • Defined features.

Fine lines are generally defined by :

  • Delicate contours.
  • Soft lines.
  • Subtle features : a small nose, delicate lips and chin.
  • With weight loss : loss of fat in the cheeks and cheekbones.
  • With age : fat melting and reduction in skin thickness.
  • Aesthetic treatments : an experienced doctor can refine the face, but in some cases cosmetic surgery is necessary.

An oval face is characterised by :

  • Longer than it is wide : face is longer than it is wide.
  • Rounded contours.
  • Balanced proportions : forehead slightly wider than jaw, with dominant cheekbones.

The perception of beauty is subjective and influenced by various factors.

  • Self-perception : lack of self-confidence.
  • Comparison with beauty standards : media and social networks.
  • Skin or cosmetic problems.
