Aesthetics FAQs
What are aesthetics treatments?
Aesthetics treatments are non-surgical procedures that focus on improving your physical appearance. Sometimes called cosmetic treatments, they are non-invasive, quick treatments that usually cause minimal pain. Common treatments are dermal fillers, laser hair removal and microblading.
Aesthetics practitioners, or aestheticians, carry out aesthetics treatments. Some practitioners may be medically trained, so they may have once practised as a doctor or nurse, while others have had specialist training in treatments that don’t need to be carried out by a qualified medical professional.
What are the most common aesthetics treatments?
The most common aesthetics treatments are:
- Botox injections: Anti-wrinkle injections using botulinum toxin which temporarily relax facial muscles
- Dermal fillers: Injectable gels that help smooth out wrinkles and restore lost volume to the face
- Skin boosters: Hyaluronic acid injections (often using the brand name Profhilo) that help improve skin elasticity
- Laser hair removal: Uses lasers to damage hair follicles and eliminate unwanted hair
People get aesthetics treatments for lots of different reasons and purposes. If you’re not sure which treatment is best for you, book a consultation with a practitioner who should be happy to advise.
Are aesthetics treatments worth it?
Whether aesthetics treatments are worth it is down to the individual. It all depends on your priorities, budget, and what you want the treatment to achieve. When carried out by a trained aesthetician, treatments can offer benefits like increased confidence, improved physical appearance and even a better sense of wellbeing.
However, these treatments are usually high cost, have small risks associated with them, and often require maintenance to achieve a consistent look.
