Concerns
Below is a detailed explanation of many indications that can easily be treated in a good Aesthetic Clinic
We are familiar with all and have the experience to recommend the best treatment options and credible clinics, to ensure you get the best results.
-
Mild Acne: Includes whiteheads, blackheads, and a few papules or pustules.
Moderate Acne: Includes a higher number of papules and pustules, and possibly some nodules.
Severe Acne: Includes many nodules, cysts, and widespread inflammation, often leading to scarring.
Blackheads: Small, dark spots on the skin's surface, blocked pores.
-
Melasma: Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control pills) and sun exposure.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Skin injury or inflammation (acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns).
Sunspots: Prolonged sun exposure, especially in aging skin.
-
Skin redness can occur due to a variety of causes, ranging from irritation and inflammation to underlying medical conditions.
Rosacea: A chronic skin condition that causes facial redness, often triggered by heat, spicy foods, alcohol, or stress.
Broken Capillaries (Spider Veins): Tiny blood vessels break under the skin, often due to sun exposure, alcohol, or physical trauma.
Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition where skin cells grow rapidly, causing red, scaly patches.
Cherry angiomas: Are small, benign (non-cancerous) growths made up of clusters of tiny blood vessels, or capillaries, that are typically red, purple, or blue in colour.
Broken capillaries or spider veins (telangiectasias): Small, dilated blood vessels that appear just beneath the surface of the skin. They can be red, purple, or blue in colour and are commonly found on the nose and cheeks.
-
Refers to the smoothness or roughness of the skin's surface. Healthy skin typically has a smooth, even texture that reflects light uniformly, while uneven skin texture can appear dull, rough, or bumpy. Skin texture issues can result from various factors, including genetics, aging, environmental damage, and underlying skin conditions.
-
Grade 1: Very Fine Wrinkles - Barely noticeable, fine lines, often appearing with facial expressions like smiling or frowning.
Example: Small crow’s feet around the eyes or faint lines on the forehead.
Grade 2: Fine Wrinkles - Shallow but visible wrinkles that do not disappear when the skin is at rest.
Example: Mild lines on the forehead, around the mouth, or eyes, still shallow but more noticeable than Grade 1.
Grade 3: Moderate Wrinkles - Moderate-depth wrinkles that are deeper and more pronounced. They remain visible even when the face is at rest.
Example: Moderate nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth), deeper forehead lines, or visible crow’s feet.
Grade 4: Deep Wrinkles - Significant, deep wrinkles with well-defined folds or sagging skin. These wrinkles are prominent even without facial movement and can be accompanied by some loss of skin elasticity.
Example: Deep nasolabial folds, pronounced marionette lines (around the mouth), or deep forehead furrows.
Grade 5: Very Deep Wrinkles - Severe wrinkles with deep folds and sagging skin, often accompanied by significant loss of elasticity and skin volume.
Example: Deep, etched wrinkles across the face, with loose or sagging skin that results in a more aged appearance.
-
Grade 0: No Laxity - Firm, taut skin with no visible signs of sagging or looseness.
Example: Youthful skin with strong collagen support, no signs of drooping or loss of firmness.
Grade 1: Mild Laxity - Slight skin looseness or sagging, generally not noticeable unless closely examined. The skin still appears firm but has begun to lose a bit of its elasticity.
Example: Early signs of sagging in areas like the jawline or around the eyes. Mild jowling may be present, but it's barely visible.
Grade 2: Moderate Laxity - Visible sagging or looseness, especially noticeable in specific areas like the cheeks, jawline, or neck. The skin has a soft, slightly drooping appearance and has lost its tightness.
Example: Moderate jowling, sagging skin under the chin or in the mid-face region. The skin may no longer "snap back" as quickly when pinched.
Grade 3: Advanced Laxity - Significant sagging, with loose skin evident in multiple areas of the face or body. The loss of elasticity is more pronounced, and the skin may appear crepey or folded.
Example: Deep sagging along the jawline and neck, with visible folds or drooping of the cheeks. There is often noticeable skin redundancy in areas like the upper arms or abdomen.
Grade 4: Severe Laxity - Very loose, sagging skin with pronounced folds and deep skin laxity affecting multiple areas. The skin appears significantly aged, and there is little to no elasticity left.
Example: Severe sagging in the face, neck, and body. Skin may hang loosely, particularly around the cheeks, jowls, neck, arms, and abdomen. The skin is wrinkled and may appear "crepey."

Eye aging is a natural process that affects both the appearance and function of the eyes as we get older. The skin around the eyes is delicate and more prone to showing signs of aging, but the eyes themselves also undergo functional changes.
Crows feet, droopy eyelids, dark circles, puffiness, thinning skin

Thinning hair, or hair loss, is a common issue that affects both men and women and can be caused by various factors, including genetics, aging, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors.
Scalp issues can range from mild irritation to more severe conditions that cause discomfort, hair loss, or infections. Many of these issues are linked to inflammation, fungal infections, or autoimmune responses.
-
Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process, but their appearance can often be reduced with the right treatment. Whether dealing with hypertrophic, keloid, or atrophic scars, there are multiple options available.
-
Stretch marks are a common skin issue that can affect people of all ages and body types. While they are not harmful and often fade over time, there are various treatments available to reduce their appearance. Starting treatment early, when the marks are still red or purple, tends to yield the best results.
-
Body contouring refers to a range of cosmetic procedures and treatments aimed at reshaping and improving the appearance of the body by removing excess fat, tightening loose skin, or enhancing body contours.
-
Improving facial shape can be achieved through a combination of non-surgical and surgical methods, depending on the individual's goals, age, and specific areas of concern.
Enhance symmetry, balance proportions, or restore youthful contours that may have diminished over time due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. The most common areas for facial reshaping include the jawline, cheeks, chin, and overall facial balance.
