This snapshot highlights the aesthetic treatments gaining the most momentum in early 2026 based on shifts in LaserAway patient appointment demand. While laser hair removal remains the most requested service overall, several injectable and skin quality treatments are growing faster and attracting more interest. The trend points to a broader shift in what patients want from aesthetic care. More people are focusing on prevention, skin health, and subtle, natural-looking results, which is helping drive interest in treatments that support collagen production and overall skin quality.

Key takeaways

  • Laser hair removal is still the most popular treatment by a wide margin.
  • Neuromodulators like Botox and Xeomin are seeing significant growth in demand.
  • Collagen-stimulating treatments such as RF microneedling are becoming more popular.
  • Skin health treatments like HydraFacial continue to grow as part of preventative skincare routines.

Fastest Growing Aesthetic Treatments in 2026

These treatments showed the strongest increase in patient treatments compared to the same period last year.
  • Rejuran: +93,800% treatment growth
  • Xeomin: +1,322% treatment growth
  • Botox: +49.9% treatment growth
  • Potenza RF Microneedling: +45.4% treatment growth
  • HydraFacial: +15.7% treatment growth

Rejuran -- +93,800% growth

Rejuran is gaining attention as a regenerative add-on treatment designed to support skin repair and improve overall skin quality. It uses polynucleotide technology derived from salmon DNA to support the skin's natural healing response. At LaserAway, Rejuran is used as an add-on to Laser Resurfacing, RF Microneedling, and SkinPen Microneedling, to help support the skin's natural healing response and enhance results. Interest in regenerative treatments continues to rise as patients look for options that support skin health, texture, and radiance, not just individual lines or wrinkles. Rejuran fits into that shift by complementing treatments already designed to stimulate renewal and improve skin quality over time.

Xeomin -- +1,322% growth

Neuromodulators remain one of the fastest-growing categories in aesthetics. Xeomin works by relaxing targeted facial muscles that contribute to dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. The rise in Xeomin appointments reflects growing awareness of multiple neuromodulator options available for wrinkle treatment.

Botox -- +49.9% growth

Botox continues to be one of the most recognized cosmetic treatments. Increased appointments suggest growing interest in preventative treatments that help reduce the appearance of expression lines over time.

Potenza RF Microneedling -- +45.4% growth

RF microneedling treatments stimulate collagen production using a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. These treatments are often used to improve the appearance of acne scars, skin texture, and mild skin laxity. Collagen-stimulating treatments are increasingly popular because they support gradual skin improvement rather than immediate cosmetic changes.

HydraFacial -- +15.7% growth

HydraFacial treatments combine cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and LED therapy to improve overall skin quality. Many patients choose HydraFacial as part of an ongoing skincare routine to maintain smooth, hydrated skin.

Aesthetic Treatments to Watch in 2026

SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling is gaining traction as patients look for treatments that improve overall skin quality rather than focusing on a single concern. The procedure stimulates the skin's natural healing response, which encourages collagen production and can help improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. Growing interest in SkinPen reflects a broader shift in aesthetics toward treatments that strengthen skin health and support long-term results. Based on treatment data, several trends are shaping aesthetic care this year.

Preventative Aesthetics

More patients are choosing neuromodulators proactively to help reduce the formation of deeper wrinkles.

Skin Quality Treatments

Procedures that improve texture, tone, and hydration are becoming central to many treatment plans.

Collagen-Stimulating Procedures

Treatments that support the body's natural collagen production are gaining momentum as patients look for gradual, natural-looking improvements.

The Future of Aesthetic Treatments

As aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, treatments that support long-term skin health are expected to grow even more rapidly. Regenerative procedures, collagen-stimulating technologies, and preventative skincare treatments are likely to shape the next generation of aesthetic care.
