Almost 13 years as a Registered Nurse in aesthetic medicine, and there are a few things I wish everyone knew…

Looking after your skin goes beyond treatments. Treatments performed in clinic don’t replace the need for daily skincare.

Not everything you notice in the mirror needs treating. Knowing when not to treat can be just as important as knowing when to proceed.

It’s very important to be honest about your medical history. Never assume something isn’t related and not disclose information. Medications, illnesses, infections, dental procedures, medical conditions, and past treatments are all relevant.

The pre and post care instructions are given to support your treatment and to help minimise the potential risk of complications. Not wearing make-up before and after your treatment is to help prevent the risk of infection.

You should never feel pressured to do something just because it’s available, popular or trending.

Treatment plans should be individual. What is appropriate for one person may not be appropriate for another.

You don’t need to look like anyone else. You should make informed decisions about your own face, your own skin and your own care.

Everyone wants undetectable results.

Until they’re undetectable.

Then suddenly…
“I can’t see a difference.”

And this is where expectations can get a little complicated.

If the goal is a natural result, the aim isn’t necessarily for you to look noticeably different. Sometimes, the changes are subtle enough that you notice them yourself immediately, then “don’t see a difference” weeks or months later, especially when you see your own face every day.

We get used to what we see everyday and, sometimes, forgot what we looked like “before” the subtle changes. It’s important for practitioners to keep treatment results subtle. Small changes done often over a period of time can make as much difference as one big change suddenly.

The people around you may not be able to pinpoint what has changed either. They may simply think you look well, rested or like yourself.

And honestly, that can be the whole point.

A subtle result can still be a meaningful result. It just may not come with a dramatic “wow, I look different” moment.

What determines jawline definition?

It’s not just the shape of the jaw bone.

The appearance of the jawline is influenced by several anatomical factors, including:

1. Muscle
The size of the masseter can influence the width and shape of the lower face. Masseter hypertrophy, which can occur with habitual clenching or bruxism, may contribute to a broader or more square appearance.

2. Bone
The mandible provides the underlying framework of the lower face. Age related changes to the facial skeleton can alter the structural support and definition of the jawline.

3. Facial volume
The amount and distribution of soft tissue over the lower face can affect how clearly the mandibular border is seen. Fullness around the lower face and jowls can soften its definition.

4. Skin laxity
As skin elasticity and soft tissue support change with age, tissue can descend over the mandibular border, contributing to jowling and a less defined jawline.

A change in jawline definition doesn’t necessarily have one single cause.

Understanding the anatomy behind the concern is an important part of knowing what you’re actually looking at.

Anatomy varies between individuals, and these factors can interact in different ways.

Non-surgical doesn’t mean no downtime.

One of the most common misconceptions about non-surgical cosmetic treatments is that you can have a treatment and immediately see the result with no downtime.

Even when a treatment involves minimal downtime, there can still be a period of swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising while the area settles.

Downtime isn’t the same for everyone.

It can depend on the treatment, the area being treated, the extent of treatment and your individual response.

This is why timing matters.

If you have an important event coming up, don’t assume that because a treatment is “non-surgical”, there won’t be any visible recovery period. Please allow a minimum of 4 weeks before any special events to have treatment. Sometimes longer is preferred and will be discussed during a consultation.

Realistic expectations include understanding what the recovery period may look like, not just what the final result may look like.

Because non-surgical describes the type of treatment.

It doesn’t mean zero recovery.

Asymmetrical eyebrows? It may not be the eyebrows themselves.

Eyebrow position is influenced by a balance of muscles around the upper face.

The frontalis is the main muscle responsible for raising the eyebrows, while the glabellar complex and orbicularis oculi contribute to downward forces.

These muscles don’t necessarily work identically on both sides. Differences in muscle activity, recruitment and anatomy can all contribute to differences in eyebrow position.

Some asymmetry is completely normal. Most faces aren’t perfectly symmetrical and our muscles aren’t either.

So when you notice one eyebrow sitting higher than the other, the muscles underneath are part of the picture.

Realistic expectations need to be set before treatments proceed.

If a patients expectation doesn’t match the outcome of a treatment, they will usually be disappointed with the result.

Consultations aren’t just about discussing medical history and determining what treatments may, or may not be suitable for a concern. They assess a patients goals and understanding of what might actually be possible with treatment, whether something may or may not address their concern, and if a treatment can realistically achieve the result the patient is hoping for.

If a patient’s expectation doesn’t align with the outcome a treatment may produce, treatment should not proceed.

Practitioners must also be honest with patients and not simply treat, just because a patient presented to the clinic. Ethical standards come before treatment.

What actually happens to your skin as you age?

Skin ageing is much more than developing wrinkles.

Over time, changes occur across multiple layers and processes within the skin. From collagen and elastin fibres, to the structure of the dermis, cell turnover, and the skin’s ability to repair itself.

At the same time, external factors such as UV exposure, smoking and pollution can accelerate these changes.

This is why skin ageing doesn’t look exactly the same in everyone.

The rate and pattern of skin ageing varies between individuals and is influenced by factors including genetics, hormones, s*x, UV exposure and lifestyle.

So while ageing is inevitable, the way it appears, and how quickly those changes become visible, is highly individual.

Skin ageing is a process happening at multiple levels, long before we see it as a wrinkle.

Is your chin appearing shorter?

The appearance of the chin is influenced by several layers:

* Bone: The mandible can undergo age-related remodelling and resorption, which can alter the support and projection of the chin.

* Muscle: The mentalis sits at the front of the chin. When it contracts, it elevates the soft tissue and can contribute to chin dimpling and a more compressed appearance.

* Soft tissue: Changes in skin elasticity, fat distribution and the tissues surrounding the lower face can further alter the appearance of the chin.

And there’s another piece:

Your underlying jaw position and bite also play a role. A naturally recessed lower jaw (retrognathia), for example, can make the chin appear less projected, and that’s different from age-related change.

Facial ageing isn’t just about wrinkles.
It’s the changing relationship between bone, muscle and soft tissue.

Anatomy varies between individuals. These anatomical changes don’t occur in exactly the same way for everyone.

The sunscreen you applied this morning isn’t a one time application for the entire day.

Sunscreen needs to be reapplied because protection can be reduced over the course of the day, particularly with sweating, swimming, or rubbing.

Even without those things, sunscreen doesn’t have the same protection from morning until night.

For UV protection throughout the day, you must reapply.

If you’re outdoors, aim to reapply approximately every 2 hours, and sooner after swimming, sweating, or towel drying, following the directions on your sunscreen.

This is particularly important in Australia, where UV exposure can be significant, even when the weather doesn’t feel particularly hot, or on an overcast day.

Sunscreen isn’t just about preventing sunburn. Consistent UV protection is one of the most important things you can do to help prevent photoageing including hyperpigmentation, loss of elasticity and collagen breakdown, and most importantly, skin cancers.

If you’re investing in skincare and treatments to support your skin, don’t overlook one of the most important things you can do to protect your skin.

Apply it. Reapply it. Wear it consistently.

Seeing a line doesn’t automatically mean it needs treating. Your face is meant to have lines.

Faces move and express. They change with time. They develop lines, shadows and texture. These aren’t “flaws”. They’re the natural result of expression and aging over time.

Not every line needs treating.

Aesthetics isn’t about removing every sign of ageing, especially if your preference is natural-looking outcomes.

It’s about a practitioner understanding your concerns and expectations, explain why a feature is there, whether it is actually something that can be addressed, and if treatment may be appropriate.

Sometimes, the answer is no treatment.

Trying to remove every wrinkle and fold to chase “perfection” is unattainable and can often lead to unnatural-looking results.
