Cosmetic Facial Aesthetics

If you’re fed up with wrinkles or want to restore volume in your face, then facial aesthetics maybe a solution.

Understanding Cosmetic Facial Aesthetics

As we age, wrinkles may start to appear. There are various causes such as smoking, sun exposure, or simply ageing. Facial aesthetics may be a suitable treatment which doesn’t involve invasive surgery and can often be more affordable than other interventions.

Facial aesthetic treatments are usually straightforward, so you can usually continue with your day as normal immediately afterwards. The results may take a few weeks to show, but are effective once they do. Top-up treatment is normally required, and you’ll be given advice about this. To discuss the different solutions and what you would like treatment for, you can book a consultation today.

Is Cosmetic Facial Aesthetics Right for You?

If you’re unsure, talk to a qualified practitioner who will be able to give you suitable advice.

Common Concerns Addressed by Facial Aesthetics

Many people get facial aesthetic treatments to reduce and soften wrinkles, or to restore volume in certain areas of the face. Popular areas include the cheeks, lips, forehead and around the eyes. Facial aesthetics can also treat acne, scars, uneven skin colouration, sun damage and more.

Ideal Candidates for Treatment

To be eligible for facial aesthetics, you must be over 18 years old. If you have any allergies to the products used during treatment or have certain medical conditions, then treatment may not be suitable for you. Speak to your practitioner if you have any concerns or questions.

Facial Aesthetics vs. At-Home Solutions

There are products you may be able to buy such as anti-ageing cream. However, facial aesthetics done by a professional will usually give better results because advanced treatments are used in a prescribed way.

The Cosmetic Facial Aesthetic Process

Each process will be different depending on your specific treatment, but here is an overview.

Initial Consultation and Assessment

You’ll start with an initial consultation with a qualified professional. In this session, you’ll be able to explain what you would like treatment for and what results you want. They’ll then be able to discuss what facial aesthetic treatments are available. You’ll be able to raise any concerns or questions you have.

Tailored Treatment Plan

Once you’ve chosen the treatment you’re happy with, your practitioner will put together a treatment plan. This will be personalised to help meet your needs.

Treatment and Aftercare Guidance

Your chosen treatment will then go ahead. Some facial aesthetic treatments will require you to attend further appointments in the future. After your appointments, you’ll be given any instructions and guidance needed for aftercare. You’ll be asked to attend a follow-up appointment to ensure that everything is going smoothly.

Types of Cosmetic Facial Aesthetic Treatments

There’s a whole range of treatments to choose from.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Also commonly known as Botox, these injections reduce wrinkles by temporarily freezing your facial muscles. This means wrinkles and lines are reduced, softened and sometimes removed. It can fix problems like bunny lines on your nose, wrinkles around your eyes, frown lines on your forehead, top lip lines and more. This type of facial aesthetics is straightforward, completed in a short amount of time and relatively painless.

Dermal Fillers

Getting dermal fillers involves injecting a medical grade gel-like substance under your skin. There are many reasons why someone might choose this facial aesthetic treatment. For example, it can treat sagging skin to make it look softer and fuller, plump your lips and cheeks, smooth creases in your face and more. Like Botox, this treatment is quick and virtually pain-free.

Lip Enhancements

Commonly known as lip fillers, this type of facial aesthetics treatment increases the volume of thin lips. Hyaluronic acid is used to do this which naturally occurs in your body. You may decide to get this treatment to restore your original lip size if your lips have gotten thinner over time. Many people get lip enhancements to help boost their confidence if they’re unhappy with the size and shape of their lips. This solution can also smooth any wrinkles around your lips for a softer appearance.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

This is a term that covers a range of facial aesthetic treatments designed to improve the appearance and health of your skin. This includes chemical peels which remove your skin's top layer so it grows back smoother. This can reduce acne, scars, wrinkles, uneven skin colouring and more.

Laser resurfacing can also be used to improve the appearance of your skin, and there are two different types. Ablative laser resurfacing removes the top layer of your skin. This encourages collagen fibres to form, which means smoother, tighter and less wrinkled skin should grow. Non-ablative laser resurfacing also encourages collagen to form for smoother and tighter skin, but doesn’t remove the top layer of your skin. There are many more options to explore, and speaking to a professional can help you determine what’s available.

Longevity and Maintenance of Results

There’s a lot you can do to maintain the longevity of your new facial aesthetics and this will be discussed at your consultation.

Post-Treatment Care Tips

Your practitioner will give you specific care tips to help maintain the results of your treatment. This will depend on the type of treatment you have, but it’s important to follow these closely. One important thing you should always do is avoid applying pressure to the treated area. This can disrupt the overall process and hinder results.

Frequency of Touch-Up Appointments

This will depend on the type of facial aesthetic treatment you have. For anti-wrinkle injections, it’s recommended to have a touch-up appointment every 3 to 4 months. For dermal fillers, a touch-up appointment every 6 to 12 months maybe a suitable timeframe. Your practitioner will be able to tell you what timeframe they think is best.

Protecting and Enhancing Your Skin

It’s important to keep your skin moisturised to stop dryness and irritation. Apply a gentle moisturiser very carefully to the treated area. Drinking plenty of water can reduce any swelling and help your skin to heal.

Cost of Cosmetic Facial Aesthetic Treatments

Cosmetic treatments aren’t generally available on the NHS, so procedures are usually done on a private basis. How much your treatment will cost depends on factors such as which one you get done, the practice you go to, and how complex your treatment is.
