Thoughtful advice, tailored to you
Facial aesthetics begins with a conversation about what you would like to address and what you hope to achieve. You may have a particular concern, or simply want to understand the differences between the treatments available.
​
During your consultation, we will assess your needs, review your medical history and discuss suitable options. We will explain the expected benefits, limitations, risks and costs, including whether a course of appointments or ongoing maintenance may be needed.
​
There is no obligation to proceed, and we may advise that a treatment is unsuitable or that no treatment is needed.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers may be considered for selected concerns involving facial volume, definition or deeper folds. The areas suitable for treatment depend on your facial anatomy, skin condition and individual goals.
​
Our approach starts with assessing your existing features and discussing the changes you are considering. We will explain the product proposed, how it is used and what you can realistically expect.
​
Fillers are not suitable for everyone. Your clinician will discuss possible side effects, including swelling and bruising, as well as less common but serious complications, so you can make an informed decision.
Skin boosters and skin quality treatments
Skin quality treatments focus on concerns such as hydration, texture and the appearance of fine lines. They differ from treatments primarily intended to add volume or change facial contours.
​
The options available at our practice include Profhilo, Skinvive, Sunekos and Restylane skin booster treatments. These products differ in their composition, intended uses and treatment schedules, so they are not interchangeable.
​
Your consultation allows us to assess your skin, explain the relevant options and discuss whether one may suit your needs. We will also outline any recommended course, recovery considerations and maintenance appointments.
Polynucleotide treatments
Polynucleotides are another injectable option available at the practice for selected skin quality concerns. If you are considering this treatment, we will explain the particular product used, the areas it may be suitable for and the evidence supporting its proposed use.
​
Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations, possible side effects and any relevant allergies or medical considerations. Results vary, and a course of treatment may be recommended depending on the product and your needs.
Discuss facial lines, your smile, jawline and neck
Our consultations provide an opportunity to discuss concerns involving the upper face, including forehead lines, frown lines and lines around the eyes.
You can also ask about the appearance of your lips, the amount of gum visible when you smile, jawline definition and changes around the lower face or neck. Different concerns have different causes, so an assessment is important before considering treatment.
We will explain suitable options, their limitations and whether further assessment is needed. Any treatment requiring a prescription is subject to a clinical assessment and an appropriate prescribing decision.
Frequently asked questions
Advice about teeth grinding and jaw tension
If you clench or grind your teeth, or experience jaw muscle discomfort, arrange a dental assessment so we can investigate the possible causes and check for effects on your teeth and jaw.
​
Management depends on your symptoms and findings. We can discuss suitable approaches, which may include advice about habits, a protective dental appliance or further assessment.
​
If you are also concerned about the prominence of your jaw muscles, mention this during your consultation. We will assess the functional and cosmetic considerations before discussing appropriate options.
Your free facial aesthetics consultation
Your consultation gives you time to ask questions and consider your options without committing to treatment.
​
We will discuss your concerns, relevant medical history and any previous aesthetic procedures before assessing the areas you would like advice about. Where treatment is appropriate, we will explain the proposed approach, costs, possible side effects and aftercare.
​
You will have time to consider the information before deciding whether to proceed. The consultation is free; any subsequent treatment is charged separately.
