“The 2025 Met Gala was not just about extravagant fashion but also prompted some minimally invasive skin rejuvenation trends that might make their way into your next in-person consultation!”
This year Met Gala theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” which celebrates the creativity, influence, the legacy of monochrome fashion and self- expression. The designers paid tribute to the costume institute, the only department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City that must raise its budget, and the entire Met Gala event has been an inspiring source of powerful fashion, makeup, and skin prep for many decades. However, certified plastic surgeons approved minimally invasive anti-aging regimens, or cosmetic procedures, like lasers, microneedling, and Morpheus8 RF skin rejuvenation. These procedures ensured your red-carpet glow matches the moment, noted DR. Karishma Kagodu, Managing Director of Kaesthetics, Bangalore.
Undoubtedly, the extravagant fashion sense and outfits were fully displayed at the Met Gala. Still, celebsobsession with skin rejuvenation procedures with minimally invasive techniques that give prompt results has become the point of attention in the media. Here are the top four minimally invasive, skin rejuvenation procedures, clearing that facial aesthetics are becoming as influential as fashion on the red carpet, said Dr. Karishma Kagodu, a celebrity-favorite plastic surgeon in Bangalore.
Botox & Fillers
Botox and fillers are the most popular, non-surgical skin rejuvenation options that offer numerous benefits for improving the skin’s appearance by diminishing the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, improving skin texture, and leading to a smoother appearance.
Botox (botulinum toxin) injections of Botox shots can temporarily relax tense muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, improving the crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. Moreover, by preventing muscle contractions, Botox can also slow the formation of new wrinkles and prevent existing ones from deepening. The effect of Botox can last up to 3-4 months, requiring repetitive sessions every 3-6 months to maintain the desired results.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances, such as hyaluronic acids, used to enhance the facial features by restoring volume to the sunken cheeks, rejuvenating facial appearance, and helping improve deep wrinkles, plumping lips, and enhancing cheekbones. The effect of dermal fillers can last anywhere from six months to several years. They are considered safe when administered by an expert, certified professional.
Chemical peels
Chemical peel is a powerful, gentle option to resurface the skin, causing the outer layer of skin to peel away. The procedure helps improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance by removing age spots, pigmentation, blotchiness, or discoloration, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and minimizing acne scars or milder scars from injury or surgery. During the procedure, the certified cosmetic surgeon, a specially trained dermatologist, or aesthetician swabbed or brushed the customized peeling solution onto your skin, leaving the solution for a certain period, causing controlled exfoliation, ultimately revealing youthful, glowing skin. Chemical peeling treatment helps reduce large pores, minimize wrinkles, and reveal newer, firmer skin. Multiple peeling sessions may be required to meet your desired results.
Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment
Kim Kardashian loves the Morpheus8 microneedling treatment because it combines micro-needling and radiofrequency energy that penetrates deeper beneath the skin’s subdermal layer, causing fractional resurfacing to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This fractional laser device, Morpheus8, combines the properties and benefits of both micro-needling and RF energy, significantly improving fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging, and enhancing skin tone, color, texture, and complexion. Moreover, Morpheus8 improves skin aging and contours facial appearance by addressing saggy skin concerns. It activates the body’s natural healing response, resulting in better collagen and elastin production means total skin rejuvenation.
Laser and Light-Based Treatments
Laser skin resurfacing is pivotal in non-surgical skin rejuvenation, as the beams of intense light target certain areas of your face. The treatment helps remove older, outer layers of your skin, making your skin appear smoother and firmer.
Innovation in light-based treatments includes the following:
Fractional laser: Devices like Fraxel® stimulate collagen while improving skin texture and tone.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): IPL treatment helps reduce redness, pigmentation, and signs of aging.
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Micro needling is a technique to create micro-injuries in the skin to accelerate the natural healing response, leading to collagen and elastin proliferation. The results are amplified when combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), derived from the patient’s blood. Growth factors derived from PRP are combined with serums, containing hyaluronic acids or peptides, giving the multifaceted benefits to skin rejuvenation.
APTOS Thread Lift
Thread lifts are a minimally invasive alternative to facelifts, lifting and tightening the specific areas of the face and offering customized results for areas like the jawline and cheeks. APTOS thread lift technology is a safe, quick, result-proven, and hassle-free option for those who cannot commit to a few week’s surgical recovery process. Moreover, it yields immediate results that continue to improve over time, as the absorbable threads in the targeted areas help stimulate collagen production for long-term benefits. The results of the APTOS thread lift can last up to 1-3 years.
The cost of thread lifting in Bangalore is typically a budget-friendly decision, often amounting to about one-fourth of the cost applicable in other metropolitan cities, such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, or Chennai. Apart from the number of threads used in the treatment, other factors that may influence the cost include the expertise of the cosmetic surgeon, the specific type of thread used, and the areas of treatment, such as the forehead, jowls, under-eye region, and eyebrows. It is important to note that treating multiple areas will increase the overall cost of the thread-lifting procedure.
