What Is Facial Aesthetics? Treatments, Benefits & What to Expect
Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections are becoming more and more popular with patients of all ages. While this kind of treatment was only popular with patients of a certain age who wanted to turn back the clock and reverse the signs of ageing, we’re now seeing younger patients looking for “preventative” treatment to help hold off aging for as long as possible.
Treatment can be subtle or it can be dramatic, and there are often multiple ways to achieve the same goal. We’re also seeing a rise in skin booster treatments over traditional fixes, which allow the patient to enhance their skin on a cellular level to help delay ageing.
This is a lot for patients to navigate, which is why many are often overwhelmed by information when they arrive for their first consultation. To help cut through the noise, we’ve put together this short guide for facial aesthetics, so you can quickly get up to speed.
What is facial aesthetics?
Facial aesthetics is a broad term often used to describe non-surgical injectable treatments designed to improve the appearance. This can include:
Dermal fillers for sculpting the features and boosting volume at strategic points in the face.
- Lip fillers specifically boost volume in the lips, helping to bring definition to the features and create balance.
Anti-wrinkle injections that immobilise the muscles in the face to cause them to relax, allowing wrinkles to smooth out.
Skin boosters that help to boost cell renewal and stimulate collagen production that results in more youthful skin volume and texture.
Benefits of facial aesthetics
Facial aesthetic treatments can help patients to feel more confident by addressing issues such as wrinkles, loss of volume, and crepey skin texture. Treatments are commonly used to address these signs of ageing, but can also be put to use for changing the features and creating a more balanced profile.
Dermal fillers can be used to change the appearance of the nose, in a treatment known as non-surgical rhinoplasty. While it cannot remove volume, strategic placement of filler can help to conceal bumps.
Another benefit of facial aesthetics is that it is a temporary treatment. Unlike surgical interventions that cannot be reversed, facial aesthetics will wear off over time. Treatment is also very safe, provided it is handled by a trained professional.
What to expect from facial aesthetics
If you decide you would like to explore this treatment plan, you’ll need to book a consultation with our team.
A consultation is essential for any kind of cosmetic treatment, as there are often multiple ways to achieve the same results. Rather than asking for specific treatments, we encourage patients to be open-minded and follow their aesthetician’s advice.
After exploring your concerns and what you would like to achieve, we’ll put together a treatment plan that is most likely to deliver the results you’re looking for. You’ll have a chance to think about this during a cooling-off period. This can help to avoid impulsive decisions that can leave patients unhappy with the results.
Treatment takes place in our dental practice, so you can feel confident the space is safe and sterile. You may have some downtime following treatment, as there is a risk of light bruising at the injection site. We’ll give you comprehensive aftercare instructions so you can care for your skin at home.
If you change your mind about treatment, you may be able to reverse it. This is certainly the case with dermal fillers, which can be dissolved with a follow-up treatment. For anti-wrinkle injections, you’ll need to wait for the effects to wear off.
