Which Aesthetic Treatment Is Right for You?

Choosing an aesthetic treatment can feel overwhelming — especially when your goal is simply to look refreshed, natural and well rather than “done”.
Many patients tell us they don’t want a single treatment, but overall facial rejuvenation. That’s why understanding your options — and how treatments can be safely combined — is so important.
At Medical Skin Clinic, we take a medical, personalised approach to aesthetics. Below, we explain the most popular treatments, what they treat, and why patients choose them — including the increasingly popular non-surgical facelift.
💉 Dermal Fillers – Restore Volume & Support Facial Structure
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, usually made from hyaluronic acid, which help restore lost volume and improve facial contours.
Common concerns treated:
Cheek and mid-face volume loss
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Lip volume or definition
Jawline and chin contour
Under-eye hollowing (tear troughs)
Why patients choose dermal fillers:
Patients often notice their face looks tired or less defined with age. Dermal fillers restore structure and support, helping the face look refreshed while maintaining natural facial movement.
🪄 Anti-Wrinkle Injections – Soften Expression Lines
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
These treatments relax the muscles that cause dynamic lines, allowing the skin to appear smoother.
Common treatment areas:
Forehead lines
Frown lines
Crow’s feet
Chin dimpling
Why patients choose them:
They are ideal for patients wanting to soften lines and prevent deeper wrinkles, while still looking natural and expressive.
✨ Skin Boosters – Improve Skin Quality & Glow
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to deeply hydrate the skin and improve elasticity, texture and radiance.
Best for:
Dry or dull skin
Fine lines
Early signs of ageing
Crepey skin on the face, neck or hands
Why patients choose skin boosters:
If your concern is skin quality rather than volume, skin boosters help your skin look healthier, plumper and more radiant over time.
🔥 Chemical Peels – Brighten & Refresh the Skin
What is a chemical peel?
Chemical peels use medical-grade acids to exfoliate the skin and encourage renewal.
Common reasons for treatment:
Uneven tone or pigmentation
Acne-prone skin
Sun damage
Dull or rough texture
Why patients choose chemical peels:
They’re a popular choice for patients wanting clearer, brighter skin with treatment options tailored to downtime preferences.
🧵 Thread Lifts – Gentle Lifting Without Surgery
What is a thread lift?
Thread lifts use dissolvable medical threads placed under the skin to lift sagging areas and stimulate collagen.
Common treatment areas:
Jawline and jowls
Cheeks
Lower face
Neck
Why patients choose thread lifts:
Patients often choose thread lifts when they want subtle lifting and tightening without surgery or lengthy recovery.
🔬 Intralipotherapy – Fat Dissolving for Targeted Areas
What is intralipotherapy?
Intralipotherapy is a fat-dissolving injectable treatment used to target small, localised fat deposits.
Common treatment areas:
Double chin
Small pockets of facial fat
Why patients choose intralipotherapy:
It’s ideal for patients wanting to improve facial contour and definition, particularly around the jawline and chin.
🌿 The Non-Surgical Facelift – A Combination Approach
What is a non-surgical facelift?
A non-surgical facelift is not a single treatment, but a tailored combination of aesthetic treatments designed to lift, restore and rejuvenate the face without surgery.
It may include a combination of:
Dermal fillers (for volume and structure)
Anti-wrinkle injections (to soften expression lines)
Skin boosters (to improve skin quality)
Thread lifts (for lifting and tightening)
Intralipotherapy (to reduce localised fat where needed)
Why patients choose a non-surgical facelift:
Ageing affects the face in different ways — volume loss, laxity, lines and skin quality changes. A combination approach allows us to treat multiple layers of ageing, creating natural, balanced results rather than focusing on one area alone.
Patients often choose a non-surgical facelift when they want to look:
More refreshed
Lifted but natural
Like themselves — just well-rested
Results can be staged over time and tailored to your comfort, budget and lifestyle.
🧴 Medical-Grade Skincare – Supporting Results at Home
Why skincare matters:
Medical-grade skincare helps protect your skin, maintain results and improve long-term skin health.
Used alongside in-clinic treatments, it forms the foundation of effective aesthetic care.
How Do You Know Which Treatment Is Right for You?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. During your consultation, we carefully assess:
Your facial anatomy and skin health
Your concerns and goals
Your medical history
Whether a single treatment or combination approach is best
Many patients are surprised to learn that less can often achieve more when treatments are planned correctly.
