Results of facial rejuvenation
The results of facial rejuvenation are progressive and natural. From the first weeks, the skin appears smoother, firmer, and brighter. Over time, the improvement in skin texture and tone is consolidated, restoring a more youthful and revitalized appearance to the face.
What is facial rejuvenation?
Aging is a natural process that begins to be noticeable on the skin of the face at approximately 35 years of age, although it can vary depending on each person’s habits such as sleep hours, diet, alcohol consumption, among others.
However, thanks to technological advances in aesthetic medicine, it is possible to appear younger than one’s actual age due to the different methods of facial rejuvenation.
These methods offer different results such as the elimination of wrinkles, preventing or correcting sagging skin on the face, redefining the oval of the face, eliminating blemishes, and giving the skin a smoother and brighter appearance, among others.
Recommendations
Before making a decision about which technique to use, it is important to evaluate them all, both the benefits and the risks that may be involved in using each one, always listening to the advice of an expert.
Likewise, it is important to carry out the procedure with a certified specialist in that area, with a good history of performed procedures, and in a place that complies with all hygiene and safety measures.
What are the facial rejuvenation techniques?
The field of aesthetic medicine has made great strides in recent years, making facial rejuvenation possible through various techniques. Some of the most common techniques include:
Blepharoplasty This technique involves removing sagging skin from the eyelids through a small incision from which accumulated fat under the skin is extracted, and subsequently, the excess skin is removed from both the upper and lower eyelids. This is an outpatient procedure.
Facelift or Rhytidectomy This is one of the most invasive facial rejuvenation techniques and involves the repositioning of muscle, fat, and skin of the face, which implies drains and sutures. Unlike blepharoplasty, the procedure requires hospital admission, and this will depend on the complexity of the procedure. Similarly, it requires rest and postoperative care.
Thread Lift Although the procedure involves the insertion of threads into deep layers of the skin, it is one of the least invasive. The procedure consists of injecting threads made of biocompatible materials such as polydioxanone into the deep layers of the dermis. This allows the sagging tissues to be repositioned at other points in such a way that they are tightened, and new connective tissue is generated within a few months before the threads are absorbed. The technique can be performed with local anesthesia if the patient feels discomfort, but in most cases, it is not necessary.
These three are the most used and recommended techniques by specialists. However, there are others such as Botox injections, hyaluronic acid injections, radiofrequency techniques, or pulsed light techniques.

Why is facial rejuvenation performed?
The skin of the face is the most prone to changes over the years because it is the most exposed to the environment, and factors such as sun, dust, smoke, oil, and humidity can affect it to a greater extent than the rest of the body.
For this reason, the face is the first part of the body where age manifests itself; in most cases, wrinkles or spots typical of old age begin to appear from the age of 35.
Despite this, some habits such as diet, sleep hours, alcohol consumption, or substance use can make the aging process more or less noticeable in some people.
Facial rejuvenation seeks to make the skin of the face regain a smooth, radiant, and youthful appearance.
This procedure is strictly aesthetic, meaning it is performed for the purpose of having a better appearance and thus achieving greater confidence and feeling better about oneself, thereby increasing self-esteem.
What is the price of a facial rejuvenation?
The price of a facial rejuvenation can vary considerably depending on several factors, such as the procedures included, the surgeon’s experience, the city where the intervention is performed, and whether it is a surgical, minimally invasive, or non-surgical technique.
For example, if the facial rejuvenation only includes non-invasive treatments such as botulinum toxin (Botox), dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid), laser, or radiofrequency, the cost will be significantly lower and can range between $500,000 and $3,000,000 COP per session, depending on the type of technology used and the number of areas treated.
On the other hand, if it is a surgical intervention such as a facelift, blepharoplasty, or facial lipofilling, the price can be between $8,000,000 and $18,000,000 COP or more, as it includes fees for the certified plastic surgeon, anesthesia, operating room use, postoperative check-ups, and, in some cases, hospital stay or postoperative medications.
Furthermore, many patients combine different procedures in the same intervention, which can modify the final price. Therefore, the most advisable thing is to schedule a personalized evaluation with the plastic surgeon, where the specific needs of the face are assessed, an individualized treatment plan is defined, and a detailed and transparent budget is provided.
Remember that beyond the price, it is essential to choose a professional with experience, certifications, and proven results, as facial rejuvenation seeks harmony, naturalness, and safety.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Rejuvenation
¿What is facial rejuvenation and what does it involve?
Facial rejuvenation is a set of surgical and/or non-invasive procedures that aim to restore a more youthful appearance to the face. It can include techniques such as facelift, blepharoplasty, lipofilling, the use of laser, radiofrequency, or the application of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. The choice depends on the patient’s age, skin condition, and goals. It is personalized in each case.
¿Who are ideal candidates for facial rejuvenation?
This treatment is aimed at people, generally over 35 years of age, who show visible signs of aging such as marked wrinkles, sagging, loss of facial volume, or dull skin. The best candidates are those with good general health and realistic expectations about the results. A medical evaluation will help define the best rejuvenation strategy for each case.
What is the recovery time after facial rejuvenation?
The recovery time depends on the type of procedures performed. For non-invasive techniques, the return to routine is almost immediate. For surgeries such as a facelift, 10 to 15 days of relative rest are recommended. During this time, mild swelling or bruising may occur, which disappears with the indicated care. Full recovery is completed in approximately one month.
¿Are the results permanent?
The results of facial rejuvenation are long-lasting, especially if treatments are combined and the skin is properly cared for. Although aging continues, the face will always look younger compared to not having had the procedure. Maintaining a facial care routine, a good diet, and sun protection will help prolong the effects.
What are the risks of a facial rejuvenation?
Like any aesthetic procedure, there are risks, although they are infrequent when the treatment is performed by a certified plastic surgeon. These include inflammation, temporary bruising, sensitivity, or mild asymmetries. In surgical procedures, there may be risks of infection or abnormal scarring. An adequate medical evaluation and following postoperative instructions minimize these risks.
