The aesthetic treatments everyone will be asking for in 2026

“In the year ahead, instead of overfilling and chasing trends, the focus is shifting towards minimal and non-invasive treatments for maximum gain. These results can be easily achieved through skincare, microneedling, facials and radio-frequency treatments. This doesn’t mean we are moving into an anti-filler era; rather, the emphasis is on subtle, natural enhancements—work that looks so seamless, no one can tell anything has been done.

If 2025 is any indication, Botox will continue to remain a popular treatment. By neutralising overactive muscles, it smoothens the appearance of fine lines and expression wrinkles on the face and neck, offering what many consider the biggest bang for your buck. Skin boosters have also surged in popularity over the past year, delivering a boost of hyaluronic acid and salmon sperm (PDRN) to leave the skin looking plump, hydrated, and—somewhat magically—turned back in time. These results are temporary, however, and require regular maintenance.

Another aesthetic treatment increasingly sought after is Onda Pro. Revolutionary in its approach, it is able to tighten, lift, smoothen and burn fat on the body non-invasively, without discomfort or downtime—making it ideal for overall body sculpting. With the latest Precision-GigaWave (PGW) technology, these benefits can now be extended to the face as well, addressing concerns such as double chins, chubby cheeks and saggy, undefined jawlines. While results can be seen after a single session, they are sustained over multiple treatments. Additionally, Onda Pro can also be combined with other procedures—though not necessarily with Ultherapy, as their indications are similar—and works well alongside fillers and lasers.”
