FACIAL REJUVENATION : LIGHT TOUCH

What is the "Light Touch" treatment ?

The term "light touch" refers to an injection technique that favors a gentle approach, using small amounts of hyaluronic acid to achieve very subtle and natural results. Unlike more invasive techniques or curative injections aimed at restoring the face, light touch is based on a strategy of prevention and gradual improvement.
The fundamental principle of this approach is not to alter the natural appearance of the face, but rather to revive the skin and prevent the first signs of aging. By treating key areas of the face such as the cheekbones, lips, eye contour or jawline, it is possible to achieve a fresher appearance, without the intervention being noticeable to others.
Young patients, often between the ages of 20 and 30, favor this method not only to prevent wrinkles, but also to correct slight facial imbalances or to bring Skin Radiance to their face without any major transformation.
This approach is increasingly appealing to young patients who are concerned about their appearance, but want to avoid a very noticeable effect.

The benefits of "Light Touch" treatments

The light touch procedure offers several benefits for patients who want to care for their skin while maintaining a natural appearance.
• Prevention of signs of aging : one of the main advantages of light touch treatments is that they help prevent the signs of aging before they become pronounced. By filling fine lines as they appear and deeply hydrating the skin, hyaluronic acid helps maintain the elasticity and firmness of the face. This technique is preventive and avoids the need for more invasive treatments in the future.
• Subtle and natural results : light touch is particularly appreciated for the subtle results it provides. The injections are light and evenly distributed across several areas, ensuring a natural look without excessive alteration of facial features.
• Correction of asymmetries : in addition to preventing signs of aging, light touch is used to correct slight facial asymmetries or to enhance specific areas. For example, a slight injection of hyaluronic acid in the cheekbones can restore facial harmony or enhance an area lacking volume, while remaining discreet.
• Improved skin texture : hyaluronic acid is an excellent natural moisturizer, making it a major asset for improving the texture and quality of the skin. Injections using the light touch technique deeply hydrate the skin, improve its elasticity, and provide immediate Skin Radiance. Patients often notice softer, smoother, and more luminous skin after the treatment.
• Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines : although young patients often use this technique for prevention, the light touch method is also effective in reducing the appearance of early wrinkles and fine lines, while maintaining a natural and expressive look.
• Quick recovery with no social downtime : this procedure requires no recovery time. After a session, patients can immediately resume their normal activities without interruption. There is generally very little, if any, redness or bruising, and results are visible as soon as the product is injected.

Facial areas treated with "Light Touch" injections

Injections using the Light Touch procedure can be performed on several areas of the face, depending on the patient’s needs. The most commonly treated areas are :

Cheekbones
Over time, the cheekbones may lose volume and appear flatter. Flat cheekbones can also be constitutional. Light touch injections help restore a bit of projection to the cheekbones while maintaining a natural effect. This also provides a lifting effect to the face, redefining its structure without the need for more invasive procedures.

Lips
Subtle hyaluronic acid injections in the lips are very popular, particularly among young patients who wish to slightly increase their lip volume without making them too full. This technique also helps to restore the definition of the lip contour or correct slight asymmetries, while maintaining a natural look.

Dark circles
Dark circles can make the face appear tired, even in young individuals. They can be filled in to restore freshness to the eyes, without altering facial features.

Forehead wrinkles and glabellar lines

For patients beginning to show forehead wrinkles or fine lines between the eyebrows (frown lines), micro-injections of hyaluronic acid can smooth these areas while preserving some facial mobility. This technique is ideal for young patients who wish to prevent expression lines without fully immobilizing their muscles by using Botox.

Why are young patients increasingly opting for "Light Touch" ?

The growing popularity of the Light Touch procedure among young patients is linked to several factors.
• Preventing aging rather than correcting it : unlike previous generations who tended to start aesthetic treatments later in life, today’s youth are more proactive and seek to prevent signs of aging rather than correcting them once they appear. Micro-injections allow for early treatment of fine lines, delaying the onset of more pronounced wrinkles.
• A subtle change without major transformation : one of the main reasons why young patients are drawn to Light Touch is the ability to achieve a subtle and gradual change without a radical transformation. They prefer to maintain a natural face while enjoying the benefits of aesthetic medicine.
• Personalized treatments tailored to each patient : the younger generations also appreciate the fact that Light Touch injections can be customized according to the specific needs of each patient. This means that the areas to be treated and the amounts of hyaluronic acid injected are adjusted to meet each patient’s expectations and desires, according to their facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

How does a “Light Touch” treatment session work ?

A Light Touch session is relatively quick, typically lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, and is performed in a medical office. Here is how a typical session unfolds :
Initial consultation : before the injection, a consultation is conducted to determine the areas to be treated and to ensure the patient’s expectations are achievable.
Skin cleansing : the skin is carefully disinfected to prevent any infection.
Hyaluronic acid injection : small amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected into the predefined areas using a fine needle or a cannula.
The results are visible immediately after the session, with a subtle and natural effect. It is possible to resume normal activities right after. There may be slight redness or mild swelling, but these quickly subside.

Quels sont les avantages des injections d'acide hyaluronique en petites quantités par rapport aux techniques plus invasives ?

Les micro-injections d’acide hyaluronique offrent des résultats naturels, progressifs et sans éviction sociale. Elles permettent de préserver les volumes, d’hydrater en profondeur et d’améliorer l’élasticité de la peau sans modifier les traits du visage. Contrairement aux techniques plus invasives, elles présentent moins de risques, une récupération rapide et peuvent être ajustées au fil des séances.

Oui, les micro-injections en faibles doses sont particulièrement efficaces pour prévenir les premiers signes du vieillissement, comme les ridules, la perte d’éclat ou la déshydratation. Elles stimulent la production naturelle de collagène, améliorent l’élasticité cutanée et aident à maintenir la fermeté du visage, tout en conservant un aspect naturel.

Il est recommandé de commencer les micro-injections dès l’apparition des premiers signes de vieillissement, généralement entre 25 et 30 ans. À cet âge, les traitements visent à hydrater en profondeur, maintenir la fermeté et prévenir les ridules. L’approche préventive permet de ralentir le processus de vieillissement et de conserver un teint éclatant plus longtemps.

Les résultats des micro-injections d’acide hyaluronique durent généralement entre 6 et 12 mois, selon le métabolisme du patient, la zone traitée et le type de produit utilisé. Des séances d’entretien régulières sont recommandées pour maintenir les résultats et préserver la qualité de la peau.
