Facial Rejuvenation
Aging comes with its own highs and lows. It is no secret that as we age we tend to become more appreciative about our body and skin. That is why, when the signs of aging begin appearing on our faces, we start looking for solutions to slow down the clock for our skin. Facial Rejuvenation is a common and proven option to reduce/slow down the signs of aging.
You may want to consider facial rejuvenation if:
You intend to restore a more youthful appearance by reversing the signs of aging
- You have dark circles under the eyes
- You have wrinkling and drooping skin on the upper and lower eyelids
- You have furrows and frown lines in your forehead
- You have folds and fine lines around your mouth
- You have crow’s feet at the corners of your eyes
- You are losing contour along your jawline and volume in your cheekbones
- Your neck and face are sagging
Facial Rejuvenation Techniques
Facial Rejuvenation in Dubai is no different from facial rejuvenation in the US and usually done by using a combination of cosmetic procedures which help in restoring the facial features so as to give you a more youthful appearance. The procedures are chosen and tailored to your specific aging issues in order to provide you with the optimal treatment and the most natural results.
Techniques used during Facial Rejuvenation may include:
- Facelift: This is often the base of most antiaging Facial Rejuvenation procedures.
- Brow lift, eyelid surgery and facial implants: These are surgical procedures which help in correcting targeted issues on the face, including drooping eyelids, creases under the eyes, and lost volume.
- Fat injections, fillers and Botox: These are non-surgical treatments which are used to enhance or restore volume, and reduce the appearance of folds, wrinkles and sagging skin.
- Laser skin resurfacing. This technique improves the skin texture as well as correcting age spots and skin blemishes, in addition to skin tightening.

The Facial Rejuvenation Process
a) The Consultation
The first step of having a Facial Rejuvenation treatment in Dubai is to have a detailed consultation and examination in the clinic with one of our Board-certified Plastic Surgeons, to determine a tailor-made plan for each candidate.
b) The Surgery or Procedure
The second step is to schedule the procedure with the highly qualified and experienced Plastic Surgeon who is an expert in Facial Rejuvenation and anti-aging procedures. Depending on the procedure/technique chosen, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes (for injectables) to three hours (surgical) under general anaesthesia when needed.
Prior to the surgery, each patient is screened to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the procedure. In the event of a surgical procedure, this includes a pre-anaesthetic consultation, blood testing, and to ensure the patient is a fit candidate for the procedure.
Planning and careful sequencing of the procedures is necessary in Facial Rejuvenation. Our Plastic Surgeon will determine the best order of procedures in your unique and individual case, which can include:
- Volume enhancement using fat transfer or dermal fillers: These are preferred techniques in Facial Rejuvenation when dealing with volume loss. During the fat transfer procedure, fat is harvested from donor areas within the body through liposuction, then it is transferred into the target facial areas. When it comes to dermal fillers, the hyaluronic-based fillers are injected in the target areas to give them more volume.
- Surgical facelift: A limited incision or a more extensive facelift is performed depending on the degree of skin laxity. This can be done in conjunction with a brow lift, eyelid surgery or facial implants.
After each of the above procedures, laser skin resurfacing can be done to improve the appearance of the skin, eliminate pigmentation, get rid of wrinkles around the mouth and eyes as well as bags under the eyes and reverse skin damage due to sun exposure.
After healing, during the follow-up office visits, additional refinements can be performed:
- Fat can be used to add volume to the lips in order to hide marionette lines
- Fillers can be injected to eradicate fine lines around the mouth as well as add volume to the lips
- Botox can be injected in the forehead so as to smoothen any remaining fine lines, as well as to provide a brow lift effect
Our expert plastic surgeons will accompany the patient throughout the entire process of recovering and healing through scheduled follow-ups.
c) The Recovery
After your Facial Rejuvenation procedure, you will be given detailed instructions on your post-surgical care including the normal symptoms that you will experience and how to take care of the target areas to ensure quicker recovery.
If you undergo any invasive Facial Rejuvenation procedure, you may experience some pain when the anaesthesia wears off as well as bruising and swelling. The bruising and swelling can last up to 14 days and regular post-op visits to the clinic will be scheduled by our team. In the event of any unexpected side effects such as more intense or longer lasting pain, it is advised to contact your surgeon immediately.
The results usually start to show within a few days depending on the procedures that you have undergone. The recovery time mostly varies with each individual depending on the type of procedure performed.

Precautions
Always make sure that the surgeon performing the surgery has previous experience with Facial Rejuvenation procedures, is Board certified, and you are comfortable with him or her performing the surgery.
The ideal candidate for Facial Rejuvenation should;
- Be generally healthy
- Meet all the normal surgical requirements
- Have signs of aging especially on the face
- Have realistic expectations
What To Expect From A Facial Rejuvenation
The results of Facial Rejuvenation procedures are long lasting and although signs of aging can be significantly reduced and delayed, it is impossible to fully reverse the natural aging process. The fat grafts are usually permanent and age as you age. The same goes for a surgical facelift. Botulinum toxin (i.e. Botox) and filler injections are typically repeated every 6-12 months, depending on the injectable used, so as to help you maintain a youthful appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does facial rejuvenation entail?
Facial rejuvenation focuses on facial harmony and restoring a youthful appearance. It often involves a combination of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures to reduce the effects of aging to keep you looking healthier and younger.
Which are the most common facial rejuvenation procedures?

- Facelift
- Eyelid lift surgery
- Brow lift
- Facial implants
Nonsurgical options include:
- Botox
- Dermal fillers
- Fat transfer
- Laser lifts

Who needs to undergo facial rejuvenation the most?
Facial rejuvenation is for individuals who are less than satisfied with their looks. If you have the following facial issues, you may consider facial rejuvenation:
- Deep lines and wrinkles
- You look angry or tired even when you are not
- Your face looks deflated due to the loss of facial volume
- You have sagging skin
Which is the best facial rejuvenation treatment?
The best facial rejuvenation treatment should be tailored to meet your specific facial concerns. This is because people are unique and have different aesthetic issues. A treatment that works for another person might not work for you.
Skin rejuvenation techniques have advanced over the years and are spurred on by the growing number of healthy, active individuals who desire to look as young as they feel. Each treatment is custom-made to meet your specific goals and to achieve natural-looking results as much as possible.
Will facial rejuvenation procedures hurt me?
Depending on the treatment you are undergoing during facial rejuvenation, anesthesia may or may not be provided. Invasive treatments such as facelift, brow lift, and blepharoplasty usually require anesthesia to make you comfortable during the procedure, and pain relief medication is usually prescribed for the recovery process.
When it comes to nonsurgical treatments, most of them do not require anesthesia as the treatments are virtually pain-free, although some would require some form of anesthesia.
How does facial rejuvenation fit in with wellness?
Facial rejuvenation is more than skin deep. This is because it takes years off your appearance resulting in you looking and feeling amazing. Some types of facial rejuvenation treatment promote collagen and elastin production thus improving your health while reducing the appearance of certain issues such as dark circles, fine lines, and deeper creases.
Facial rejuvenation does not only benefit your physical appearance but it can also improve your sleep and stress levels because you will no longer have to worry about your skin imperfections.
Is facial rejuvenation performed on both men and women?
Facial rejuvenation is performed on both men and women. However, the technique used for the treatments varies due to the anatomy of both sexes. While women opt for a more feminine contour, men on the other hand opt for a masculine effect with subtle changes.
