A Beginner’s Guide to Facial Aesthetics

It’s easy to feel out of your depth and confused when it comes to new things. Especially when those new things involve scientific words and the thought of needles being applied to your face and neck. But the facial aesthetics field is here to help you look and feel on top of the world, not to further confuse or complicate your life. That’s why we’ve broken down the process and assembled this little how-to guide when it comes to getting started with facial aesthetics.

What is facial aesthetics?

Well, we should probably start with the basics, shouldn’t we? Facial aesthetics is simply the name given to a large range of treatments that can enhance and improve a person’s natural beauty, facial shape, and skin texture without the use of surgery. Most facial aesthetic treatments focus on improving the symmetry of the face, tightening up any sagging or crepe-y looking skin and turning back the hands of time when it comes to ageing.

Which treatments are covered by facial aesthetics?

Two of the most popular facial aesthetic treatments include wrinkle correction and dermal fillers. Both of these treatments are injectable treatments, meaning the substances are applied directly into the face or neck and require little to no downtime. That means you’re able to leave the practice and get back to your day just as normal and as quickly as possible.

What causes signs of ageing on the face?

Our skin starts to produce less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid as we age which can cause the skin to lose its bounce and elasticity, leaving it looking less radiant as well as leading to the production of fine lines and wrinkles. This natural process is then further increased by things like stress, smoking, and exposure to the sun among others.

Who can perform facial aesthetic treatments?

When receiving facial aesthetics treatments, you should always go to an accredited practitioner. At Vogue Dental, we believe dentists – with our years of training, gentle approach, and natural dexterity, not to mention our knowledge of facial anatomy are in the most appropriate position to provide these treatments. All our practitioners have been trained and accredited to perform these treatments, and we love being able to provide such life changing procedures for our patients.

How long do the treatments take?

After an initial consultation, most treatments usually take less than half an hour to perform.
