Forget the “new year, new me” cliché—2026 is about looking and feeling your best with non-invasive beauty treatments that build real, lasting confidence.
These aesthetic treatments deliver that effortless “I woke up like this” glow without surgeries or major downtime.
1. Thermage®
If you’ve been considering something for your skin but don’t want surgery or weeks of recovery at home, you should know about Thermage® at LaserAway. This FDA-approved treatment uses radiofrequency to heat the deep layers of your skin, stimulating your collagen production—which essentially means firmer, smoother, and tighter-looking skin over time.
The best part? Most people only need one session, and recovery is a breeze with next to zero downtime. I will say, I did it on my stomach and it is SPICY. But I do notice tighter looking skin!
2. Fractora
Okay, I know the title of this article is “non-invasive treatments,” and this one is technically minimally invasive, but it’s too good not to mention. Fractora is an excellent option for targeting wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven or rough skin texture. I got mine done at Epi Center MedSpa in San Francisco and was wowed by the results—tell them What The Fab sent you for $50 off!
It combines micro-needling (poking your skin with small needles to boost elastin and collagen) and fractional lasers to improve skin from the inside out. You can read an in-depth review about my experience here. Micro-needling itself is a great beauty treatment that isn’t super intimidating or intense. Pair it with the high-tech lasers Fractora uses for deeper penetration, and you’ll be unstoppable after a handful of sessions!
3. Laser Hair Removal
Say goodbye to daily shaving or booking last-minute waxes before a trip—it’s time to treat yourself to laser hair removal through LaserAway. This procedure utilizes targeted laser energy to reduce hair growth at the root, resulting in smooth, low-maintenance skin.
I went to LaserAway for my legs, and even years later, I’m so happy with the results and I hardly ever shave my legs. Laser hair removal is a serious game-changer and well worth the investment since it can be done almost anywhere on your body.
4. BBL + Moxi
I just did a combo BBL + Moxi laser on my face and neck and I am absolutely blown away by the results. You can see the dramatic difference in my before and after photos—It got rid of so much hyperpigmentation and just smoothed out texture. It really smoothed out the texture and lines on my neck too, which I’m so happy about because I’ve been trying every night cream on the planet, and nothing has made a difference.
If you’re based in Northern California and want to go where I go for this treatment, head to Nude Medical in downtown Napa. I even have a referral link for $75 off your first treatment with them!
P.S. I wore my Bluestone Sunshield after this treatment, whenever I was driving around to really protect my skin. Code ELISE15 gets you 15% off!
5. Botox
Botox is one of the most popular minimally invasive treatments for softening fine lines and wrinkles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause smile or frown lines, helping skin look smoother and more refreshed. Treatments are quick, require little recovery time, and can look subtle and natural if done right.
I am so glad I gave Botox a try because it’s super easy, and my goodness, look at the difference in my before and after photos. I also go to Nude Medical in Napa for Botox (shout out to Jenae!) and if you’re interested in going there too be sure to use my referral link for $75 off your first treatment!
6. Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Feeling bloated, puffy, or just a little off after travel or stress? The Detox Method™ at Napa Valley Massage & Wellness Spa is just the reset you need. This sculpting body treatment combines manual massage, wood therapy tools, and vacuum-assisted cupping to stimulate lymphatic drainage, release fascia, and reduce fluid retention. Some sessions also incorporate infrared heat for an extra circulation boost, leaving you feeling lighter, less congested, and noticeably more toned afterward.
