Anti-ageing and preventive aesthetic medicine without surgery in Paris
For harmonious, natural ageing
Preventive aesthetic medicine combines the prevention of skin ageing with non-invasive techniques to improve appearance. In a world where image plays a vital role, this discipline offers effective solutions for maintaining and improving the youthful appearance of the skin without the need for surgery.
What is preventive aesthetic medicine ?
Preventive aesthetic medicine aims to prevent the appearance of the visible signs of ageing before they become pronounced. Using gentle techniques, it focuses on maintaining the skin’s elasticity, reducing wrinkles and providing deep hydration. This helps to delay the signs of ageing while maintaining a natural appearance.
The most common essential techniques :
Various methods are used in preventive aesthetic medicine :
- Botox® injections : Used to smooth wrinkles by specifically targeting the muscles responsible for facial expressions.
- Hyaluronic acid : A filler that rehydrates the skin deep down and fills in wrinkles and folds.
- Jawline contouring : A technique designed to redefine the jawline for a subtle but effective lifting effect.
Combination therapies :
Mesoglow is a premium non-surgical skin treatment for facial epidermis aesthetics, the multipuncture injection technique. Mesobotox is used on the forehead when you want to avoid depressing your eyes. Mesopen is used around the eyes and lips. Mesoroller or microneedling is used on large areas such as the neck and décolleté.
Anti-ageing treatments can be used to treat wrinkles, scars (acne, etc.), age spots and unsightly blood vessels, and can also be used to rejuvenate the face, eyes, neck, décolleté, hands, etc.

The principles of preventive aesthetic medicine
Anti-ageing medical treatments provide targeted, non-invasive solutions. Aesthetic medical rejuvenation of the face is a solution designed to reduce wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, restore volume to the cheeks and fullness to the lips, and reshape the oval contour of the face.
Redefining facial contours with jawline contouring
Reinventing the jaw line
Jawline contouring uses volumising agents, such as hyaluronic acid, to sculpt and accentuate the jawline. Whether to correct a congenital imperfection or counteract the loss of definition due to ageing, this technique offers an elegant and balanced adjustment of the lower face.
Lift effect without surgery
Using injectable fillers for jawline contouring creates a lifting effect without surgery. The result is immediate, with little recovery time, making this option a practical and popular choice among those wishing to subtly refine their face.
What are young people's requirements when it comes to medical aesthetic beauty ?
Aesthetic medicine for the 20-30 age group. Young people want to achieve significant results quickly and within budget, and the results must be visible, for example, particularly in the case of lip augmentation. The jawline and the angle of the chin must stand out.
For the skin, radiofrequency can improve acne scars and encourage the production of new collagen.
Hyaluronic acid and its benefits
Deep, long-lasting hydration
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in our bodies, playing an essential role in skin hydration and firmness. Hyaluronic acid injections provide intense hydration, helping to plump and firm the skin instantly. Perfect for those wishing to combat the first signs of ageing without undergoing surgery.
Filling in wrinkles and restoring volume
Thanks to its volumising properties, hyaluronic acid can be used to fill in deep wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds, or to restore volume to areas also affected by loss of density, such as the cheekbones. A popular method for achieving natural, rejuvenating results.

Relieve expression lines
Botox® is ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles, those caused by our repetitive facial expressions (e.g. forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet around the eyes). By temporarily paralysing the underlying muscles, these wrinkles fade, leaving the face looking relaxed and well-rested.
Injection technique : This involves a series of small injections into the muscles of the targeted area. By blocking muscle contractions, Botox® prevents wrinkles from forming. The injection is painless and lasts around ten minutes.
Results are visible within four to fifteen days and last for six months.
Prevention before the appearance of deep wrinkles
Botox® injections at the first appearance of fine wrinkles not only smoothes the skin, but also prevents them from deepening. An effective ally for those seeking to preserve their youthful appearance as a preventive measure.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle to complement :
Importance de l'alimentation et de l'hydratation
A balanced diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins helps to reinforce the effects of preventive aesthetic medicine. Drinking enough water every day also helps to keep skin hydrated and radiant.
Daily practices for looking after your skin
As a complement to aesthetic treatments, incorporating a daily skincare routine tailored to your skin type – including regular cleansing, moisturising creams and sun protection – will help prolong the benefits obtained through preventive aesthetic medicine.
Physical activity and stress management
Regular exercise and managing stress through methods such as yoga or meditation also help to improve overall skin health.
Intense pulsed light technology
For spots caused by sun exposure or ageing, rosacea, pregnancy spots and permanent hair removal, pulsed light (also known as a flash lamp) can be applied to the whole body, particularly the face, hands and décolletage. Pulsed light is gradually replacing lasers, as the risk of burns is very high.
Several beams illuminate the treatment area. It takes around 3 sessions and 30 minutes to see the first results. During the treatment, you may feel a slight warmth and tingling.
Intense pulsed light also has positive side effects: it regenerates the skin, closes dilated pores and adds radiance. However, avoid using it on hyperpigmented or dark skin.
Why should laser hair removal be carried out by a doctor ?
The use of lasers in France must be carried out by a doctor trained in these procedures, as they are not without risk (risk of burns). What’s more, only a doctor can detect hormonal changes (hair growth).

Information, medical advice and safety :
Whatever the patient’s request, the aesthetic doctor will listen carefully, carry out a complete and personalised clinical examination, and then recommend the most appropriate treatment for the patient’s situation. The doctor must explain the potential risks involved, the side effects and possible complications.
It is strongly recommended that you stop smoking. If the liquid in the electronic cigarette contains the vasoconstrictor nicotine, you should avoid using electronic cigarettes even if there is no tar.
Advice and contraindications after treatment :
- Rest, lie down or sit up for 3 hours after the injection, as instructed by your doctor.
- Do not massage your face over the areas treated, particularly the forehead, with Botox®. The surgeon will massage the face in circular movements over the area where the hyaluronic acid has been injected.
- Do not exfoliate or peel.
- Do not take aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Avoid exposure to heat, sun, ultraviolet (UV) rays and saunas for several days.
Side effects and complications of Botox®
Complications are very rare. The following are known possible complications :
May have rare side effects (adverse reactions)
Side effects are temporary. They may include :
- Redness : localised redness in the injection area is sometimes reported and rarely lasts for more than 3 to 6 days.
- Bruising : bruising at the injection site is rare and may last several days.
- Oedema : swelling, most often around the eyes, which may develop gradually over 4 to 5 days, then diminish progressively over days or even weeks.
- Sensory disturbances : depending on the injection site, tension or immobilisation of the forehead, mouth or neck, as well as changes in sensitivity generally associated with the sensation of cardboard, may last several days.
- Short-term ocular or facial pain : This pain is described very specifically in relation to the injection area.
What are the common general complications ?
They are very special.
- Allergic reactions: skin rash, urticaria, general allergic reactions.
- Nausea, dizziness.
- Fatigue, fever, flu-like symptoms.
- Dry skin or mouth.
To these known risks must be added the duration and unpredictable aspects, and finally the unusual, even unknown, risks inherent in any medical practice. In general, we must not overestimate the risks, but we must be aware that even apparently simple medical procedures always involve significant risks. Going to a qualified practitioner guarantees that the person has the necessary training and skills to understand how to avoid these complications or to treat them effectively if necessary.
In any case, if you are concerned about the consequences, please do not hesitate to contact us.
