Facial aesthetics are non-surgical ways to soften signs of ageing like wrinkles, sagging and blemishes. They include Botox, lip fillers and chemical peels, which leave you looking fresher in different ways.

Research by Mintel found that 43% of Brits would consider facial aesthetics yet just 8% of women considered surgery.
