Want glowing skin? These 7 injectable trends are your 2025 beauty cheat sheet
Exosome therapy harnesses tiny cell messengers to repair and rejuvenate the skin. Often applied with microneedling, exosomes deliver growth factors that boost collagen production and healing for a youthful complexion. In 2025, this cutting-edge treatment is trending as a natural way to achieve youthful skin without surgery.
Thread lifts offer a mini-facelift without surgery. Doctors insert dissolvable threads under the skin to lift sagging areas and spur collagen production. The result is an instant lift plus gradual firming as the threads dissolve. In 2025, this quick procedure is popular for achieving a firmer, refreshed look with minimal downtime.

Skin boosters are ultra-light injectables designed to hydrate and brighten the skin rather than add volume. Using soft hyaluronic formulations, they are placed shallowly to give a dewy 'glass skin' glow. In 2025, these glow-giving microinjections, such as SkinVive, have gone mainstream as people seek radiant, healthy-looking skin.
Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries – remains a top trend in 2025. Those controlled pinpricks trigger the skin's healing process and collagen renewal, improving fine lines, scars, and texture with little downtime. New 'supercharged' versions pair microneedling with radiofrequency energy or exosome serums for even greater skin-smoothing results.

Similar to exosomes but built from DNA fragments (mainly salmon sperm), PN injections hydrate deep layers of skin and stimulate fibroblasts. They excel at smoothing crepey skin and reducing sun damage, making them a popular treatment, the results of which show after a few sessions.
Dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid gels) restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. The new skin-forward approach favours minor tweaks to subtly enhance the appearance over the outdated, overfilled 'pillow face' look. New filler formulas and strategic, minimal injections refresh one's features without obvious work, aligning with the 'less is more' aesthetic.

Popularly called Botox or Dysport, the classic wrinkle smoother never goes out of style. It not only smoothens wrinkles, but it can also slim down the nose and muscles in the jawline to give it a slimmer appearance. It can also be used to reduce bulky shoulder and calf muscles. It even works for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. This has resulted in a high demand for muscle-relaxing injections.

Stanford gastroenterologist explains fatty liver can be reversed with 4 simple diet and lifestyle changes: ‘Lose weight'
Did you know fatty liver disease can often be reversed with simple diet and lifestyle changes? Gastroenterologist Dr Wendi LeBrett, who studied at Stanford University, often shares health-related content on her Instagram page. On March 9, she posted about 'lifestyle changes you can make to improve fatty liver'. Also read | Fatty liver disease without symptoms? Here's how to catch it before it is too late Maintaining a healthy body weight is important to fight fatty liver. (Freepik) How to reverse fatty liver According to the gastroenterologist, if you exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, lose weight if overweight or obese, limit alcohol consumption and drink coffee, you can reverse fatty liver disease and improve your overall health. 'Fatty liver can be reversed. So, let's talk about four things you can do to improve your fatty liver,' she said in the Instagram video, adding, 'There are two things that cause fatty liver – no. 1 is alcohol use, and no. 2 is metabolic syndrome, the conditions that predispose you to having fat on your body. So, what can you do for fatty liver?' 1. 'Stop drinking alcohol. Even if it is once in a while, or one or two drinks in a week. You have got to stop drinking alcohol,' Dr LeBrett said. 2. 'Weight loss has been shown to improve fatty liver,' she added. 3. 'Exercise independent of weight loss. So even if you don't lose weight, exercise itself can improve fatty liver,' Dr LeBrett said. 4. Research studies have shown that drinking coffee, whether decaf or regular, can prevent fatty liver from becoming fibrosis, she added. What is fatty liver? In a 2024 interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Lorance Peter, director, gastroenterology and hepatology at Sakra World Hospital in Bengaluru, said, 'Fatty liver disease is when your liver, which should only have about 5% fat, starts hoarding more fat than it should. This can be assessed by a simple ultrasound examination of the liver when it is bigger and brighter than usual – that's a sure sign of fatty liver.' He added, "Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, happens when your liver cells gather too much fat, and this fat interferes with the normal metabolic functions of the liver cells. There are two main types: one caused by drinking too much alcohol (AFLD) and the other not linked to alcohol but associated with obesity, diabetes, or metabolic dysfunction (NAFLD). NAFLD is a big health problem worldwide, hitting millions of the population. Recently NAFLD has been renamed as MASLD (Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatosis liver disease). The majority of people may not have any symptoms. Some people might feel a little discomfort or heaviness on the right side of their belly, especially after eating a big meal.'

Excessive hair fall in summer? Amla, bhringraj, coconut oil and other Ayurveda solutions to reverse seasonal hair damage
Hair fall often intensifies during the summer due to a combination of environmental stressors and physiological changes. UV rays strip hair of moisture, weaken its structure, leading to dullness and breakage. Prolonged sun exposure also adds stress to the hair, compromising its health and contributing to hair loss. Expert shares ancient Ayurvedic fixes that can be the modern summer hair saviour.(Image by Unsplash) In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Shilpa Vora, chief R&D officer at Marico, explained, 'Physiologically, the hair growth cycle is influenced by seasonal changes. Research suggests that warmer temperatures and longer days can trigger more hair follicles to enter the resting phase, leading to increased hair shedding. This natural process, called seasonal shedding, allows the body to adapt hair growth to environmental changes.' Hair quality may be affected by the saltwater as you head to the beach this summer. (Shutterstock) She revealed, 'Additionally, summer activities such as swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater can strip the hair of its natural oils, making it brittle and more prone to breakage. Sweat accumulation on the scalp can lead to clogged follicles and inflammation, further increasing hair fall. The combination of these factors creates a challenging environment for hair health during the summer months.' Hair care routines to combat summer-specific hair stressors like heat, sweat and UV exposure To protect hair from summer-related stressors, one should adopt a proactive and nourishing hair care routine. Dr Vora suggested, 'Coconut-based hair oil is especially effective in this season. Its deeply penetrating nature allows it to strengthen hair from within while providing a protective barrier against environmental damage. Regular hair oiling locks in moisture, and protects the hair and roots, making hair more resilient. Before stepping out in the sun or going for a swim, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of coconut-based hair oil to act as a barrier against the harsh elements.' Role of regular hair oiling in preventing seasonal hair fall Regular hair oiling is a time-tested remedy that plays a significant role in reducing seasonal hair fall. Dr Vora advised, 'Massaging the scalp with a nourishing hair oil improves blood circulation, which helps deliver essential nutrients to the follicles, strengthening the roots and promoting healthy growth. Coconut-based hair oils, due to its antimicrobial and water-resistant properties, also form a protective layer that shields hair from sweat, heat and pollution—all common stressors during the summer.' Coconut oil is the best to use on your hair. (Shutterstock) According to her, Ayurvedic practices of infusing medicinal herbs in hair oils enhance their effectiveness. Dr Vora elaborated, 'For instance, a coconut-based hair oil, when enriched with Ayurvedic ingredients like amla, bhringraj, brahmi, neem, kalonji, and yashtimadhu, can provide a holistic solution to hair fall. These herbs help soothe the scalp, strengthen hair roots, boost growth, and protect against microbial infections.' The method of application is equally important. Dr Shilpa Vora recommended, 'Gently massaging the hair oil into the scalp, leaving it on for at least 30 minutes before washing with a mild shampoo, allows the oil to penetrate effectively. Doing this two-to-three times a week can lock in moisture, control frizz, and leave hair soft, strong and nourished.' Specific ingredients or product types for reducing hair fall during summer Dr Vora said, 'Certain ingredients are especially effective in tackling summer-induced hair fall—particularly when used in combination. Coconut-based hair oils are rich in fatty acids that lock in moisture in hair, helping to replenish moisture lost due to heat and sun exposure. Aloe vera, known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, helps calm irritated scalps and reduce dryness.' Aloe vera: This ingredient not just soothes the scalp but also conditions the hair making it soft and frizz-free. It can also unclog hair follicles that are blocked by excess oil.(File image) She added, 'When aloe vera is combined with coconut-based hair oil, the result is a powerful yet gentle solution that leaves hair feeling soft, smooth, and healthier. This combination works to deeply nourish and lock in moisture, making it ideal for summer care. Opting for products that blend these two ingredients can go a long way in strengthening hair from root to tip and improving overall hair texture during the harsh summer months.' With rising awareness around hair concerns, there is an emphasis on education through clear communication and sharing simple, actionable tips that everyone can follow. The goal is to empower people to take charge of their hair health in a way that complements their lifestyle and evolving concerns.
