Medical Aesthetics
Short answer: Medical aesthetics covers non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments for skin laxity, volume loss, expression lines, skin quality and hair loss. The right method depends on the cause of the concern; with marked excess skin, surgical options are discussed separately.
Which treatment for which concern?
| Concern | Treatment to consider |
|---|---|
| Laxity and limited fat under the chin, jawline and neck | Endolaser |
| Hollow cheeks, facial volume loss, thinning skin | Liquid facelift |
| Expression lines on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes | Botulinum toxin (Botox) |
| Volume needed in a specific area such as lips or cheekbones | Fillers |
| Dehydrated, dull, tired-looking skin | Skin boosters, mesotherapy |
| Hair loss and thinning | Hair treatments |
Treatments
- Endolaser: Laser energy under the skin through a fine fibre, for local laxity and limited fat.
- Arm contouring: Laser lipolysis and endolaser for limited fat and laxity at the back of the arms.
- Liquid facelift: Collagen-focused facial rejuvenation with PLLA and CaHA.
- Botulinum toxin (Botox) treatments: Temporarily relaxing expression muscles to soften lines.
- Dermal fillers: Volume and contour in specific areas with hyaluronic acid.
- Skin boosters and mesotherapy: Micro-injections for skin quality and hydration.
- Exosome treatments and SVF applications: Investigational approaches, considered only within current regulations and authorisations.
- Hair treatments: Supporting hair follicles with PRP, mesotherapy and exosomes, after the cause of hair loss is investigated.
How is the assessment done?
At consultation, skin thickness, volume loss, degree of laxity, age and previous procedures are assessed together. If needed, more than one method is planned in sequence. Expectations and limits are discussed openly before any treatment.
