Concerns discussed at consultation

What is it?

Facial ageing describes the combined changes that occur over time across the skin, fat compartments, ligaments and bone. It is a natural process that unfolds differently from person to person.

Common causes

• •Chronological ageing
• •Genetics and family pattern
• •Cumulative sun exposure
• •Skin quality and hydration
• •Lifestyle factors including sleep, stress and diet
• •Previous inflammatory skin conditions

What happens during a consultation?

The doctor typically assesses:

• •Medical history and current medications
• •Facial examination including skin, structure and expression
• •Discussion of the changes you have noticed
• •Previous aesthetic treatments, if any
• •Your goals and priorities

Possible treatment approaches

Depending on your assessment, your doctor may discuss a range of approaches focused on skin quality, collagen support or structural considerations — or advise that no treatment is required.

Recommendations are made only after individual medical assessment. No treatment is guaranteed or promised.

What is it?

Dynamic lines appear when the underlying facial muscles contract. They may soften at rest, and over time can become more established.

Common causes

• •Repeated facial expression
• •Muscle strength and activity
• •Skin quality and elasticity
• •Age and cumulative movement

What happens during a consultation?

The doctor typically assesses:

• •Facial movement at rest and in expression
• •Symmetry and muscle activity patterns
• •Medical history, including neurological or muscular conditions
• •Previous treatments in the area
• •Your goals and preferred natural appearance

Possible treatment approaches

Depending on assessment, options may be discussed for softening dynamic lines. Whether any treatment is appropriate is decided individually.

What is it?

Acne scarring describes the changes in skin texture that can follow inflammatory acne. Patterns include atrophic (indented), hypertrophic (raised) and mixed scarring.

Common causes

• •Previous inflammatory acne
• •Skin type and genetic tendency
• •Duration and severity of acne
• •Picking or manipulation of lesions

What happens during a consultation?

The doctor typically assesses:

• •Pattern, depth and distribution of scarring
• •Skin type and healing tendency
• •Whether active acne is still present
• •Previous treatments and skincare
• •Realistic outcomes and limitations

Possible treatment approaches

Different scar patterns respond to different approaches. Whether any is suitable is decided only after individual assessment; combining approaches over time is sometimes discussed.

What is it?

Skin texture describes how smooth or even the surface of the skin appears and feels. Changes may reflect skin quality, sun exposure, previous inflammation or age.

Common causes

• •Cumulative sun exposure
• •Collagen and elastin decline
• •Previous inflammatory conditions
• •Skin type and barrier function
• •Skincare habits

What happens during a consultation?

The doctor typically assesses:

• •Skin type and barrier condition
• •Areas most affected
• •Previous treatments and current skincare
• •Sun exposure and lifestyle

Possible treatment approaches

A combination of skincare, skin-quality approaches or resurfacing considerations may be discussed. Any plan is decided individually.

What is it?

Hair loss and thinning can affect people of any age and gender. Patterns and underlying causes vary considerably.

Common causes

• •Genetic pattern hair loss
• •Hormonal influences
• •Nutritional factors
• •Stress and general health
• •Certain medical conditions or medications

What happens during a consultation?

The doctor typically assesses:

• •Pattern and duration of hair change
• •Scalp and hair examination
• •Medical, medication and family history
• •Previous investigations if available
• •Discussion of realistic outcomes

Possible treatment approaches

Further investigation may sometimes be advised. Any options are considered only after individual assessment; not every pattern of hair loss is suitable for aesthetic intervention.

What is it?

Pore visibility reflects skin type, oil production, sun exposure and skin quality. It varies significantly from person to person.

Common causes

• •Skin type and genetics
• •Sebum production
• •Cumulative sun exposure
• •Collagen decline around each pore
• •Previous acne or inflammation

What happens during a consultation?

The doctor typically assesses:

• •Skin type and oiliness
• •Areas most affected
• •Current skincare and previous treatments
• •Realistic outcomes

Possible treatment approaches

Pore size cannot be permanently changed. Skin-quality approaches may be discussed to support the appearance of the skin.

Recommendations are made only after individual medical assessment. No treatment is guaranteed or promised.

What is it?

The under-eye area is thin, expressive and highly individual. Changes may relate to skin quality, hollowing, pigmentation or a combination.

Common causes

• •Individual anatomy
• •Volume change beneath the eye
• •Skin thinning and pigmentation
• •Sleep, hydration and lifestyle
• •Genetics

What happens during a consultation?

The doctor typically assesses:

• •Careful examination of the under-eye anatomy
• •Medical history and any eye-related conditions
• •Previous treatments in the area
• •Realistic outcomes and limitations

Possible treatment approaches

The under-eye area is delicate. In many cases the doctor may advise that no treatment is appropriate or that a more conservative approach is preferable.
