Aesthetic dermatology is about more than looking good. It’s about treating the skin with respect and specialist care to support and enhance its natural integrity. Whether you’re exploring your first treatment or refining your long-term skincare approach, understanding what aesthetic dermatology involves is the first step in making informed, confident choices about your long-term skin health.
What is aesthetic dermatology?
Aesthetic dermatology refers to non-surgical treatments designed to improve skin appearance, restore balance and support natural ageing. Unlike beauty treatments, it’s rooted in medical expertise, using clinically proven methods to treat issues such as wrinkles, volume loss, sun damage, pigmentation, scarring and skin texture.
At The Skin Associates, these treatments are delivered exclusively by consultant dermatologists – medically qualified specialists with a deep understanding of both the aesthetic and medical aspects of skin.
What does it include?
We offer a carefully selected range of aesthetic dermatology treatments tailored to individual needs and skin biology, including:
- Injectables like wrinkle relaxation and dermal fillers
- Skin boosters such as Profhilo
- Laser and light therapies for pigmentation, redness and scarring
- Prescription-strength skincare for acne, sun damage and ageing
- Microneedling, PRP and resurfacing treatments to renew and regenerate skin
Every treatment plan is based on what’s appropriate for your skin – never a one-size-fits-all approach or trend.
Who is aesthetic dermatology for?
Aesthetic medicine isn’t just for people seeking dramatic change. It’s for anyone who wants to proactively care for their skin and preserve its health and appearance over time.
We regularly treat patients who:
- Want to soften lines or restore facial volume
- Struggle with pigmentation, redness or uneven tone
- Are managing acne scarring or texture issues
- Have chronic conditions like rosacea or sun damage
- Simply want a refreshed, healthy look supported by science
Our skin-first approach
We believe aesthetic care starts with understanding your skin. That’s why we:
- Begin with a full consultation and clinical skin assessment
- Offer honest, evidence-led advice about suitable options
- Focus on natural-looking results that preserve expression
- Provide clear plans for ongoing care and maintenance
You’ll never be rushed or upsold. We build long-term relationships with patients who want thoughtful, medically-sound care – not quick fixes.
