What is facial rebalancing?
Facial rebalancing is a set of aesthetic procedures (invasive and/or non-invasive treatments) designed to balance and enhance facial features, providing a more harmonious and rejuvenated appearance.
If you are not completely satisfied with your skin and/or with certain aspects of your face, it is possible that we may be able to help.
Some of the main reasons why people seek facial rebalancing include:
- Facial rejuvenation (reducing signs of ageing such as wrinkles and skin laxity);
- Improving facial symmetry;
- Enhancing facial contour;
- Improving facial proportions;
- Slimming the face;
- Restoring skin firmness;
- Reducing unwanted marks (such as spots, moles, dark circles, etc.);
- Increasing or reducing volume in certain areas of the face, such as the cheekbones, lips or cheeks;
- Reducing a double chin.
Facial Rebalancing Treatments
At Living Clinic, we offer a wide range of facial rebalancing treatments, including:
1. Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
Recommended for softening wrinkles and expression lines, botulinum toxin works by relaxing the facial muscles, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
2. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Ideal for restoring facial volume as well as correcting folds and wrinkles, hyaluronic acid fillers help restore facial contours and skin vitality.
3. Morpheus 8
An innovative treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency, stimulating collagen production and improving the skin’s texture and firmness.
4. Surgical Facelift
For those seeking more significant results, we offer a surgical facelift, which promotes comprehensive facial rejuvenation through advanced surgical techniques.
5. Non-Surgical Lifting (FaceTite / AccuTite)
As an alternative to a surgical facelift, non-surgical lifting uses radiofrequency technology to promote facial lifting without incisions.
6. Collagen Biostimulators
These are just examples of facial rebalancing treatments. Our team will always carry out a thorough and personalised assessment to identify each patient’s needs, ensuring an appropriate and effective treatment plan.

How is facial rebalancing performed?
Facial rebalancing is a meticulous and personalised process performed by experienced medical professionals at Living Clinic. Each patient is individually assessed to identify the specific areas to be treated and the most suitable procedures to achieve the desired results.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our facial rebalancing specialists. During this consultation, a complete assessment of the patient’s face will be carried out.
Based on this evaluation, the specialist will create a personalised treatment plan, which may combine different procedures if appropriate.
Aspects such as anaesthesia, techniques used, treatment duration and recovery time will depend on the selected treatment(s).
All the details regarding the treatments will be explained during the consultation, so there is no need to worry.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions and clarify any doubts you may have.
Frequently Asked Questions
What results can you expect from facial rebalancing?
The results of facial rebalancing are generally natural and improve gradually over time. The goal is to achieve aesthetic balance, soften wrinkles and fine lines, restore volume, and enhance the overall appearance of the face, while always preserving its natural features.
How long does it take to see the final result of facial rebalancing?
The time needed to see the final result may vary depending on the treatments performed. Some results, such as the effects of botulinum toxin, may be noticeable within a few days, while others, such as collagen production stimulated by Morpheus8 or biostimulators, may take a few weeks to become fully visible. It will always depend on the type of treatment, tissue recovery, your body’s response, and other factors.
How long does facial rebalancing last?
The duration of the treatments is usually several months, or even years, depending on the procedures performed.
For example, a surgical facelift is a technique that involves incisions and repositioning of the facial tissues to correct sagging and deeper wrinkles. The results are usually long-lasting, generally lasting between 7 and 10 years, depending on the patient’s natural ageing process and post-operative care.
Botulinum toxin, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive treatment that relaxes the facial muscles to soften expression lines. The effect of the first Botox injection lasts approximately 4 to 6 months. However, repeating the treatment progressively increases the duration of its effect.
In the case of hyaluronic acid fillers, results are visible immediately after treatment and last approximately 1 year, although this may vary from person to person.
With Morpheus8, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production, our experience is that the improvements provided by the treatment last for at least 1 year, assuming good skin maintenance and proper use of sunscreen. The same applies to the non-surgical facelift, which uses FaceTite and AccuTite to reduce facial fat and skin laxity.
Other facial and skin treatments may have different durations.
Who can undergo facial rebalancing? Is there a minimum age?
Facial rebalancing is recommended for healthy adults who wish to improve their facial appearance. As for a minimum age, each case is assessed individually, but it is important that the patient has the maturity and understanding required for the procedures.
What care is needed after facial rebalancing?
Each treatment has specific aftercare instructions that will be provided by the doctor after the procedure. On the page of each treatment, you may also find the post-treatment care guidelines, where applicable.
What is the recovery time after facial rebalancing?
Recovery varies depending on the procedures performed. In general, patients can resume normal activities soon after treatment, but it is important to follow the specific guidance provided by Living Clinic’s professionals to ensure proper recovery. If surgery is involved, you may need to take a few days or weeks off work before returning to your professional and social life, depending on the type of surgery.
Is facial rebalancing safe?
Although facial rebalancing is safe, it should be performed by a qualified and experienced professional. Only in this way is it possible to ensure that the treatments meet the required standards of safety, hygiene and effectiveness. You can rely on the experience and expertise of Living Clinic’s doctors for any facial rebalancing treatment recommended by us.
Is anaesthesia used in facial rebalancing?
Most facial rebalancing procedures are performed under local or topical anaesthesia, ensuring maximum comfort for the patient during treatment. If surgery is involved, general anaesthesia may be used.
