Assessed before
anything is offered.
Skin quality, volume and contour — assessed properly before anything is recommended.
What people
usually notice.
Most patients arrive describing an impression rather than a feature.
Skin quality, pigmentation or pore visibility changing.
Hollowing around the eyes, temples or midface.
Definition along the jaw and neck becoming less distinct.
Expression lines now visible at rest.
Previous treatment that did not achieve what was expected.
Quality, volume
and contour.
Visible ageing is three separate processes that are easily confused for one another: change in skin quality, loss of underlying volume, and change in contour and laxity. They respond to entirely different treatments, and treating the wrong one is the usual reason results disappoint.
A patient treated for volume when the issue is skin quality will look filled rather than refreshed. The assessment is what prevents that.
Texture, pigmentation, vascularity and barrier function.
Where fat and bone have changed, and where they have not.
Structural change that injectables cannot address.
How the face behaves in animation, not only at rest.
What has been done, when, and how it settled.
Thyroid, hormonal and nutritional factors that affect skin directly.
The aim is that you look rested, rather than that you look treated.
How we
assess it.
A consultation that begins with assessment rather than a menu.
Consultation
What you have noticed, what you would want to change, and what you would not.
Structured assessment
Skin quality, volume and contour assessed separately and documented.
Honest options
What will help, what will not, and what would be better addressed surgically.
Staged plan
Sequenced over time where that gives a better result than doing everything at once.
Who would
see you.
This concern is held by Aesthetic & Regenerative Medicine. If assessment points elsewhere, you are introduced to the right consultant rather than redirected to find one.
Before you
get in touch.
Will I be sold a treatment at the consultation?
No. The consultation exists to assess what is actually driving the change you have noticed. For some patients the honest answer is that a non-surgical treatment will not achieve what they are describing, and we say so.
How natural will the result be?
Our approach is to treat the cause of the change rather than to add volume by default. The aim is that you look rested rather than treated.
I have had treatment elsewhere that I am not happy with. Can that be assessed?
Yes. Bring details of what was done and when, if you have them. Assessment of previous treatment is a common reason for consultation.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly.
Start with
a conversation.
Nothing on this page is a diagnosis. An assessment is how you find out what is actually happening.
Four fields. A coordinator calls you back.
Low-pressure. Ask anything first.
