As we are starting 2026, let us talk about the new trends in aesthetics and skincare. We see and feel the shift and would like to share with you. It is very much aligned with ASPA Beauty approach and we are happy to see it happening.
What’s in for 2026
- Barrier-first protocols.Strengthen the stratum corneum, then refine. Hydration + lipid balance before any “intense” step.
- Low-inflammation treatments.Think LED, gentle chemical peels with smart acids, lymphatic massage work, and microcurrent—functions that support skin repair without collateral irritation, good example is a treatment such as T Shape.
- Personalised cadence.Results come from the right dose + right frequency, not the strongest setting.
- Data-guided & evidence based results. We adjust—not overhaul—what already works.
What we’re leaving behind (or using far more selectively)
- Overstimulation for its own sake.Routine high-heat/energy sessions (e.g., aggressive RF needling) and “big hit” resets that inflame more than they improve.
- Filler-as-fix Structure matters, but we’re seeing clients prioritise tissue qualityfirst—hydration, texture, tone—before considering volume.
- Trend-chasing & influencer roulette. One-size-fits-all hacks rarely serve real skin.
How to choose wisely in 2026
Ask two questions: Is this product or treatment putting my skin barrier under pressure and how will my skin recover? These 2 questions are essential when chosing your next facial, body treatment or skincare product.
Favour stackable wins: small, repeatable steps you’ll actually finish. Focus on small steps, daily, weekly and monthly goals that you are able to start and finish.
Match season & skin mood: winter = calm + hydrate; spring/summer = refine carefully.
Protect the gains: daily SPF, avoid overheating/over-exfoliating, pause actives before/after procedures as advised.
