01

Approach

Preserve the identity of the face

A face is not simply a surface to be corrected. It has its own proportions, history and recognisable character. Aesthetic medicine should not replace it with an idealised model. It may improve certain aspects while preserving what makes each person distinctive.

The standard is simple to state and harder to keep: respect the features, prefer skin quality to an exaggerated effect, move in stages, and know when not to treat. Overcorrection is not a minor aesthetic slip. It is often what makes a face lose its coherence.

The pages on this site describe treatments and general principles. They do not replace a consultation, where a treatment may be recommended or ruled out.

Consultation

Understand, before treating

  1. 01

    Observation

    Observe the face or body at rest, in motion and under different lighting. Listen to the patient’s concerns, even when they are not yet clearly expressed.

  2. 02

    Analysis

    Connect these observations to the anatomy, skin quality, medical history, and relevant clinical boundaries.

  3. 03

    Personalization

    Recommend a single, purposeful treatment where appropriate, or no treatment at all. The plan is agreed with the patient.

  4. 04

    Treatment

    Perform only what has been thoroughly explained, with the restraint required for a credible, natural result.

  5. 05

    Follow-up

    Review the result over time, make adjustments if needed and allow the body time to respond.

04

Starting points

Start with your concern

You can begin with an area or a concern, such as acne and rosacea, scars or pigmentation. The consultation then clarifies what may be suitable.

Face

Harmony, volume, contour and the signs of time, without erasing expression.

Skin

Radiance, texture, hydration and skin quality, approached gradually.

Body

A personalised assessment, with the practical details determined during consultation.

Acne and rosacea

Active forms, redness and blemishes: often a combination of IPL and ProDeep; sometimes Nd:YAG, LED or a peel, depending on examination.

Scars

Acne or superficial scars: CO2 laser, microneedling or a peel, depending on the scar and the skin.

Pigment spots

Pigment spots and uneven tone: IPL, Nd:YAG or peel, once the lesion has been examined.

Journal

Read before deciding

Aesthetic medicine and natural results Natural does not mean untreated. It means looking recognisably yourself, even to people who do not know that you have had a procedure. How to choose an aesthetic treatment Choosing a treatment should not begin with a product name. It should begin with your concern, however vague, and what you do not want to change. The consultation can help define the issue or establish that no procedure would be useful. Hyaluronic acid: what is it for? The same name describes both a molecule naturally present in the body and a family of injectable gels. What matters is the formulation used and where it is placed.

The first step is a conversation.

A consultation establishes whether treatment is appropriate and what its limits would be. Many people attend without a specific request; clarifying their concerns is part of the consultation.
