Subtle, natural renewal guided by precision and care
Facial Rejuvenation in London
Facial rejuvenation is about restoring freshness and vitality to the face without changing its natural expression. With age, the skin loses elasticity, fine lines appear, and facial contours soften, often making patients look more tired than they feel. Modern rejuvenation techniques can reverse these signs gently and effectively.
At her London practice, Dr Nicki Bystrzonowski offers a range of surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments tailored to individual needs. Her philosophy is built on subtle enhancement, never overcorrection, to achieve results that look refreshed, balanced, and natural.
Drawing on her background in psychology as well as plastic surgery, Dr Nicki understands that facial rejuvenation is as much about restoring confidence as it is about aesthetics. Each treatment plan is designed around the person, not a trend, focusing on results that align with how patients want to feel.
What Is Facial Rejuvenation?
Facial rejuvenation refers to a combination of techniques aimed at improving skin tone, contour, and overall appearance. Treatments can range from eyelid surgery and brow lifting to non-surgical procedures such as dermal fillers, skin tightening, and fat transfer.
The goal is to create a refreshed look that maintains natural movement and character. Surgical options focus on restoring underlying structure and removing excess skin, while non-surgical approaches target fine lines, lost volume, and texture.
During consultation, Dr Nicki discusses all suitable options, whether surgical, non-surgical, or a combination of both, and recommends a plan that balances improvement with downtime, comfort, and longevity.

How Facial Rejuvenation Works
Consultation and Planning
Your journey starts with a detailed consultation with Dr Nicki Bystrzonowski, who will listen to your concerns and assess skin tone, facial volume, and underlying anatomy. Together, you’ll explore suitable options, whether surgical, non-surgical, or combined, to achieve a refreshed yet authentic result.
Anaesthetic and Preparation
Depending on the treatment, local anaesthetic, sedation, or general anaesthetic may be used. For non-surgical procedures, topical numbing ensures comfort. All treatments are performed in a calm, clinical environment designed for precision and safety.
The Procedure
Surgical facial rejuvenation may include techniques such as eyelid surgery, mini facelift, or fat transfer to restore structure and lift.
Non-surgical treatments, such as injectable fillers, skin tightening, or laser resurfacing, address fine lines and texture, enhancing radiance with minimal downtime.
Refinement and Symmetry
Dr Nicki focuses on maintaining facial harmony and balance. Her approach avoids overcorrection, prioritising smooth transitions and natural movement so the face looks refreshed, not altered.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery time varies by procedure. Non-surgical treatments require minimal downtime, while surgical options involve mild swelling and bruising that improve within weeks. Dr Nicki provides detailed aftercare to support healing and ensure subtle, lasting results.
Long-Term Results
Results develop gradually, leaving the face looking rested and rejuvenated rather than “done.” With healthy skincare habits and optional maintenance treatments, outcomes can last for many years.
