Cosmetic Facial Treatments

Cosmetic facial treatments are common cosmetic procedures in facial aesthetics. They are designed to address cosmetic issues in certain areas of the face without invasive surgery. Procedures such as wrinkle treatment address concerns about lines and creases on the face, while volume treatment helps to recontour certain facial features. Using modern techniques, Dr Fraser-Kirk and his experienced team are dedicated to helping each patient attain their individual aesthetic goals.

Types of cosmetic facial treatments

There are two main types of cosmetic facial treatments: wrinkle treatments and volume treatments. Although both are minimally invasive, they are used for different purposes to achieve different outcomes.

Wrinkle treatments

Wrinkle treatments are designed to target the appearance of static and dynamic wrinkles, as well as help prevent dynamic wrinkles from becoming static. Many factors may contribute to the development of such wrinkles, such as genetics, ageing, and poor skincare. Sun damage and exposure to the elements can also play a role in the development of wrinkles, in addition to day-to-day facial expressions. In other words, wrinkles are not just a result of ageing and genetics but are also influenced by our daily habits, such as the expressions we make and the facial muscles we use.

Wrinkle treatments can help to target:

• Perioral lines around the mouth
• Wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet)
• Glabellar lines between the eyes (Frown)
• Forehead lines
• Formation of new wrinkles
• Other issues such as headaches

Lip volume treatment

Lip volume treatment is designed to increase volume, addressing concerns about a lack of fullness in the lips. There are many reasons for such concerns. For example, a person may desire to enhance naturally thin lips to harmonise with their other facial features. Others may have concerns such as lip asymmetry, top-to-bottom lip ratio, or wrinkles around the lip area. In these cases, lip volume treatment can help to alter the lip contour in a way that suits the patient’s unique facial features and desired aesthetic outcomes.

Common concerns treated by lip volume treatments include:

• The upper/lower lip ratio
• Naturally thin lips
• Signs of ageing around the lips
• Lip symmetry
• Lack of full lip appearance

Cheek volume treatment

Similar to lip volume treatment, cheek volume treatment helps to alter the facial proportions and contours. The cheeks are a common area for this type of procedure, as this area often experiences loss of fullness with age. This, in turn, can cause the face to lose its rounded appearance which is associated with health and youthfulness. In addition to ageing, weight loss and hormonal changes can contribute to this effect, causing concerns about a sunken or hollowed appearance.

These issues can be treated with cheek volume treatment. However, patients should understand that their procedures may differ from others based on their personal needs and aesthetic desires. Therefore, results can vary, and you will need to discuss your treatment plan with a qualified specialist. People may seek this procedure due to concerns about:

• Facial symmetry and definition
• The appearance and position of the cheekbones
• Facial fullness
• Signs of ageing

Consultation

During your consultation, Carla and Dani, your cosmetic nurses, will inquire about your medical needs, such as any current conditions or medications. This will help facilitate a treatment plan that meets your needs and prioritises your well-being. You will be invited to discuss your aesthetic concerns and goals, your reasons for seeking treatment, and the outcomes you wish to attain. Carla and Dani will then explain your opinions and make recommendations, developing a plan that accommodates your preferences and helps you achieve your desired results.

The procedure

The cosmetic facial procedure varies based on the patient, their chosen treatment, and the techniques required. On the day of your treatment, we will use an anaesthetic to help ensure your procedure is comfortable. Your treatment may target certain areas, corresponding with your cosmetic concerns and goals. For example, if you are concerned about wrinkles beside the eyes, this will be the target area for treatment. Due to the personalised nature of such procedures, you should express your goals clearly during your consultation. This will help ensure that we can accommodate your needs appropriately.

After your procedure, you will need to follow your recovery instructions carefully to encourage proper healing. For example, you may need to use a cold compress to reduce swelling, stay hydrated, and avoid rubbing or irritating your treated sites
