I Tried 6 Non-Surgical Face Treatments - Here's What Actually Worked
Treatment Reviews
Real results from someone who's been there.
After turning 35, I noticed my skin wasn't bouncing back like it used to. Instead of jumping straight into surgery, I decided to test every popular non-surgical treatment. Here's my brutally honest review.
Botox:
The Game Changer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Results showed up in 3 days. My forehead lines vanished, and I looked refreshed—not frozen. Lasted 4 months. Worth every penny.
Dermal Fillers:
Mixed Results ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved what it did for my lips, but cheek fillers looked puffy for weeks. Pro tip: Start small and build up gradually.
Chemical Peel:
Painful but Effective ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My skin literally peeled off for a week (gross but satisfying). The glow afterward was incredible. Just don't plan any events for 10 days.
Microneedling:
Subtle but Nice ⭐⭐⭐ Improved my skin texture over time. Not dramatic, but my makeup went on smoother. Multiple sessions needed.
Thread Lift:
Disappointing ⭐⭐ Expected more lift, got minor improvement that faded quickly. Expensive for minimal results.
Laser Resurfacing:
The Heavy Hitter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most dramatic improvement in skin quality. Expensive and required downtime, but erased years of sun damage.
My takeaway? Start with Botox and work your way up. And always—ALWAYS—go to someone with real credentials.
