On the August 3rd episode of "Monday Date," Chen Xiao publicly admitted to having "plastic surgery"! Recently, Chen Xiao made a surprise visit to a university campus and, surrounded by beautiful female fans, openly revealed his "plastic surgery secrets"—he had work done on his eyes, nose, and even minor adjustments to his ears! "Basically, no part of my face is natural."" After the broadcast, fans heatedly debated the claims, with some even posting Chen Xiao's childhood photos to defend his "authentic" appearance.
In truth, undergoing minor adjustments through cosmetic procedures is increasingly common—especially among entertainment industry stars. For those seeking facial refinement without surgery, what non-invasive facial treatments are available? Let's explore the options below.
Common Non-Surgical Procedures
1. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening for Sagging Skin
Loose skin can be tightened and lifted through radiofrequency treatment. This procedure uses radio waves to penetrate the skin layers, stimulating collagen contraction and restructuring while promoting new collagen production.
2. Hyaluronic Acid for Wrinkle Reduction
For troublesome nasolabial folds, tear troughs, and under-eye bags, hyaluronic acid injections offer significant improvement. Hyaluronic acid is not a medication but a dermal filler that fills depressions and smooths wrinkles through injection.
3. Fractional Laser: The Latest Skin Resurfacing Technology
Fractional laser is a new skin resurfacing technique. The laser beam is divided into countless micro-beams that create tiny, uniform micro-injuries on the skin. The rapid repair of surrounding tissue improves skin texture and condition.Fractional laser is a new skin resurfacing technique. The laser beam is divided into extremely fine beams that create microscopic, uniform micro-injuries on the skin. By leveraging the rapid repair of surrounding tissue, it improves skin texture. This fractional phototherapeutic treatment causes less damage to the skin compared to traditional lasers. It can improve acne scars, minimize pores, refine skin texture, and restore a youthful glow.
4. Botox Injections
Horizontal forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes can be reduced through Botox injections.Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to muscles, addressing lines caused by muscle contraction (dynamic wrinkles). However, it is ineffective for wrinkles visible without facial expression (static wrinkles).
Candidates for Minimally Invasive Procedures
1. Individuals seeking pain-free, non-invasive contouring and volume enhancement
Those desiring aesthetic improvements discreetly, or perfectionists aiming for harmonious facial balance, can benefit from non-surgical treatments. Common applications include rhinoplasty, lip augmentation, facial slimming, chin enhancement, cheek augmentation, and temple volume restoration.
2. Individuals seeking wrinkle reduction
Ages 22–30: Work stress or irregular routines often cause fine lines around eyes and mouth (e.g., crow's feet, lip lines) and dull complexion.For those over 35, natural aging deepens wrinkles, causes skin laxity and sagging, roughens texture, and slightly alters facial contours. Individuals in these age groups can benefit from minimally invasive procedures to smooth wrinkles, tighten skin, and restore a more youthful appearance.
3. Individuals requiring localized filling for depressions
Micro-aesthetic procedures are suitable for improving skin indentations, sunken eye sockets, bony depressions, soft tissue defects, hollowed corners of the mouth, and localized post-surgical restoration.
