Advances in Anti-aging Procedures: A Comprehensive Review of Surgical and Non-surgical Rejuvenation Techniques

Advances in medical science have led to longer lifespans, increasing global demand for cosmetic procedures aimed at preserving or enhancing youthfulness. A wide range of clinical options now targets facial ageing, offering invasive and non-invasive treatments tailored to individual needs, medical factors, and financial considerations. With recent advances in aesthetic technologies and emerging evidence-based results, this narrative review explores recent innovations in anti-ageing interventions, focusing on their effectiveness and potential side effects. This narrative review aims to comprehensively evaluate anti-ageing procedures, including both surgical and non-surgical techniques. It seeks to synthesize current evidence to assess the safety, efficacy, and impact of these interventions on patient outcomes. A narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles published between 2010 and 2025. Keywords included "anti-ageing," "facial rejuvenation," "cosmetic procedures," and "aesthetic treatments." Eligible sources were peer-reviewed original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical guidelines. Non-English articles, conference abstracts without full texts, and studies unrelated to facial treatments were excluded. Formal quality assessment and statistical analysis were not performed. Of 640 articles identified, 144 were included in the final synthesis. Findings highlight the multifactorial nature of facial ageing and recent advances supporting personalized interventions to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
