A Softer, More Rested Look
Maybe it's a slight shift in how your makeup sits or how your skin feels after a long day. You catch small signs of change: some volume loss here, a little less firmness there. It's not that you're unhappy with how you look. You just want to feel a bit more in step with how vibrant and active your life still is.
This is often when people start exploring full facial rejuvenation. It's not about reversing everything the natural aging process brings. It's about updating the way you feel on the outside to match how you feel on the inside. A more youthful appearance. A rested expression. Skin that feels smoother and brighter.
At Bonakdar Aesthetics in Newport Beach, we take a high-touch, highly personal approach to facial aesthetics. Led by Dr. Monica Bonakdar, our boutique medical spa offers advanced non-surgical treatments that restore facial harmony with precision and care.

Located in Orange County, Bonakdar Aesthetics offers a refined, detail-driven experience for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Bonakdar has nearly three decades of experience helping patients maintain their natural beauty through thoughtful care and non-surgical options. With a focus on natural-looking results, she combines treatments like dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and thread lifts to gently reshape facial contours, smooth deep wrinkles, and improve overall tone and texture.
What is Full Facial Rejuvenation?
Full facial rejuvenation is a customized, non-surgical treatment strategy that addresses the full face, not just one area. It’s ideal for people noticing visible signs of aging like sagging skin, volume loss, or uneven skin tone.
Instead of turning to a single solution like a mini facelift or brow lift, this approach combines advanced non-surgical treatments that support your skin’s deeper layers, restore lost facial volume, and create a more youthful version of you. From laser resurfacing to injectables, each step is selected based on your facial structure, skin health, and aesthetic goals.
We build each plan around what your face actually needs, targeting facial volume, skin texture, and structure.
Used to relax overactive muscles and soften lines caused by facial movement. Botox helps smooth forehead creases, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
Fillers are essential for restoring lost facial volume. We use them to gently lift cheeks, smooth folds, and bring balance to facial contours.
Adds hydration and structure to thinning lips without creating an artificial look. Can also correct asymmetry or restore shape.
Used to rebuild midface support and subtly lift sagging areas below the cheeks. A common starting point for full facial rejuvenation.
Stimulates natural collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Ideal for treating facial hollows and improving long-term skin quality.
Dr. Bonakdar’s proprietary filler technique layers products for soft, natural-looking results. It's designed to support facial tissue and highlight natural structure.
Uses a small dose of Botox to enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume.
A strategic combination of Botox and fillers that mimics the results of a facelift without surgery.
Offers a gentle lift using dissolvable threads, which also stimulate collagen. An option for those not ready for a deep plane facelift or SMAS facelift.
Improves skin texture and firmness by triggering the skin’s healing process. Helpful for fine lines, large pores, and scarring.
Takes microneedling deeper with added radiofrequency energy. This helps tighten loose skin and boost collagen.
Uses light energy to correct discoloration, sun damage, and redness. Helps improve skin clarity and tone.
A light CO2 laser resurfacing treatment with minimal downtime. Helps with texture and pigmentation.
More intensive laser skin resurfacing that addresses deeper wrinkles, excess skin, and sun damage.
Medical-grade facials support ongoing skin health and are often used between treatments to maintain a refreshed appearance.
Help remove dull surface skin, even out tone, and soften texture. Peels range from light to deeper treatments depending on your skin’s needs.
With full facial rejuvenation, patients often walk away feeling more confident, more comfortable, and more like themselves. While treatment is tailored to each face, some common benefits include:
Am I a Good Candidate for Full Facial Rejuvenation?
Most patients who choose full facial rejuvenation are in their 30s to 60s and want to enhance their features without surgery. If you're starting to notice signs of aging, like skin laxity, volume loss, or visible wrinkles, but aren’t ready for a facelift, this treatment can be a great alternative. It’s also a good choice for people who want to maintain facial harmony and delay surgical interventions while still achieving a rejuvenated appearance.
There are very few strict contraindications for full facial rejuvenation because there are so many non-invasive and minimally invasive options to choose from. During your initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history and talk through any allergies or concerns. Most skin types and tones can be treated safely. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, some treatments may need to wait, but we can still begin the planning process.
Every treatment begins with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Bonakdar will examine your skin, assess your facial anatomy, and listen to what you’d like to improve. She’ll use this information to develop a custom plan that reflects your lifestyle, comfort level, and aesthetic goals. This step is collaborative and informative, it’s the foundation for your treatment.
Before treatment begins, we may recommend that you pause certain medications or supplements that can increase bruising or sensitivity. You’ll also receive skincare guidance to help prepare your skin for optimal results. Avoiding direct sun exposure in the weeks leading up to treatment helps reduce the risk of irritation, especially for procedures like laser resurfacing or chemical peels.
Your full facial rejuvenation plan may include one or several treatments, performed either in a single session or spaced out over time. Each appointment is done in our Newport Beach medical spa using local anesthesia or topical numbing to keep you comfortable. There’s no need for general anesthesia or a surgical facility.
Treatments like injectables can take as little as 30 minutes, while more in-depth sessions (like laser skin resurfacing or RF microneedling) may take closer to 60–90 minutes. You'll be able to go home the same day, and many people resume normal activities right after their appointment. For some treatments, we may recommend limiting strenuous activity for the first day or two.
Recovery After Full Facial Rejuvenation Treatment
One of the biggest advantages of full facial rejuvenation is that most treatments require little to no downtime. After injectables or light resurfacing, you may see mild redness or swelling, but it typically fades within a day or two. With deeper procedures like CO2 laser resurfacing or thread lifts, you might experience peeling, sensitivity, or more pronounced swelling for several days.
We’ll send you home with specific instructions tailored to your treatment plan, including how to care for your skin, what products to avoid, and when it’s safe to wear makeup again. We also recommend good sun protection to support healing and protect your results.
Some treatments provide visible improvements right away, especially fillers, which can instantly restore facial volume and lift. Botox and neuromodulators usually take a few days to begin working, with full effects within one to two weeks. Collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra or RF microneedling develop more gradually as the skin rebuilds from within.
In most cases, patients begin noticing a more refreshed appearance within the first week, with continued improvements over the following month. Maintenance treatments can help prolong your results, and we’ll guide you on the best schedule based on your goals and skin's response.
Since every treatment plan is unique, pricing will vary. Some patients may benefit from a single targeted session, while others choose a combination of treatments spaced over several months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a complete breakdown of your recommended plan and what’s included in the cost.
Factors like the type of injectable used, number of sessions, and whether additional treatments are added all influence your total investment. There are no surprise fees, everything will be outlined clearly so you can make an informed decision.
