The Ever-Evolving Landscape of Aesthetics

I always find it fun to look at the industry and see what is considered "aesthetically" desirable. At the core of my practice lies a commitment to individualized aesthetics, aiming to enhance one’s natural beauty and evoke a rejuvenated version of oneself. Let’s explore what’s shaping the current trends.

What’s In

Natural, Customized, Ethnically Sensitive Treatments

The demand for non-invasive procedures continues to rise, with an emphasis on achieving natural-looking results with minimal downtime. There is a strong desire now to look natural. Beauty is no longer painful. At TREVI Health—Longevity & Aesthetics, we offer an array of services that cater toward comfort and minimal downtime.

Chin Augmentation

Partially driven by some new products on the market is the desire to improve one’s profile with chin augmentation. We now have powerful products that can really restore or augment one’s chin in addition to sculpting the jawline.

Body Contouring and Sculpting

This continues to be popular especially with the non-surgical options. Fat dissolving agents and contouring devices are overtaking traditional liposuction. We have devices like PHYSIQ combined with Venus Legacy and medical weight loss to help achieve tone, contour, and improved skin quality.

Combination Procedures

At TREVI, we have always referred to this as a mixed-modality approach. This is not a trend but a standard of care. We fully understand the demands of skin and body and identify areas of opportunity to help you reach your wellness and beauty goals.

Regenerative Treatments

There is a growing interest in harnessing one’s own body to rejuvenate. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the "liquid gold" portion of whole blood known for its healing properties. At TREVI, we use PRP in many services to help boost results, enhance healing, and promote natural restoration.

What’s Out

Overly Plumped Lips

Lip filler is still popular, but the final result desired isn’t what it once was. My team works to enhance natural appearance with glossing techniques to improve hydration and structure.

Frozen or Overly Smooth Facial Expressions

That plastic "shiny" look has given way to one where more dynamic facial expressions are retained. Baby-Botox or Sprinkle-Tox may require more frequent visits but allow for a softening effect in place of the frozen look.

Extreme Facelifts

The trend towards that overly tight and pulled appearance is thankfully gone. Modern techniques aim for subtle and natural-looking rejuvenation.

Cookie-Cutter Nose Jobs

Patients are seeking surgery that will preserve their individuality and ethnic characteristics rather than conforming to a standard shape.

Excessive Use of Filler

The trend away from the overly "plumped look" extends beyond lips. We are seeking restoration of volume loss—aiming to enhance your natural features through balance. The best injectable is not detectable.
