AESTHETIC TREATMENTS
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Aesthetic treatments are typically ideal for individuals who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcomes of the treatments. Generally, candidates for aesthetic treatments include:
- Individuals with fine lines, wrinkles, and age-related skin imperfections
- People looking to enhance or rejuvenate their appearance
- People looking to correct asymmetries or imbalances in their facial features
- Individuals with sun damage or uneven skin tone
- People looking to contour and reshape their body
Not everyone is a good candidate for specific aesthetic treatments. For example, individuals with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or autoimmune disorders may not be suitable candidates for specific treatments. Pregnant or breastfeeding women may also be advised to avoid certain treatments.
Before any treatment, a qualified and experienced practitioner will conduct a consultation to determine the best treatment for you, considering your medical history, lifestyle and overall goals. It’s always important, to be honest with the practitioner about your medical history and any medications you currently take to ensure that the treatment is safe and appropriate.
NON-SURGICAL AESTHETIC PROCEDURES
- Botox: A treatment that uses a neurotoxin to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles, smoothing the skin’s appearance.
- Dermal fillers: A treatment that uses injectable substances, such as hyaluronic acid, to fill in wrinkles and add volume to the face.
- Chemical peels: A treatment that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layer of damaged skin, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin underneath.
- Laser therapy: A treatment that uses intense light beams to remove damaged skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.
- Microdermabrasion: A treatment that uses a diamond tip wand to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.
- Scalp micro pigmentation: A non-surgical treatment that uses pigments to create the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp, making the hair look denser.
- Microneedling: A treatment that uses fine needles to create microscopic injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
- Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP): A treatment that uses a patient’s blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors, to promote healing and rejuvenation of the skin.
- Non-invasive body contouring: procedures such as Cryolipolysis, Radio Frequency, Ultrasound, and laser lipolysis are used to reduce fat and contour the body without surgery.

It's always important to consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner to determine which treatment or combination of treatments is most appropriate for you and your goals.
Yes, Botox is considered a non-surgical aesthetic treatment. Botox is a type of injectable treatment that uses a small amount of a purified protein called botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles. The procedure is performed using a very fine needle, and it's typically done in a medical office setting. Botox is most commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. The treatment is relatively quick, taking around 15 to 20 minutes, and there is no downtime required after the procedure, so you can return to normal activities immediately.
Botox is a prescription medication and should only be administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner. It's important to have realistic expectations for the treatment and to understand that Botox results are not permanent and need to be repeated every 3-6 months to maintain the results.
