The first step before any treatment is a consultation. During the consultation, we will take photos, assess your medical health and history. We will also check that you are ready for treatment, and discuss the different options with you.

There is usually a blend between skin treatments such as peels and laser, and cosmetic medical treatments. These latter treatments will require that we undertake a prescribed treatment plan to suit your face and needs.

Tear troughs are absolutely a normal part of your anatomy. Babies have them, as well as older adults. The area is quite thin and there is very little facial fat sitting in the area, so it is an area that can sometimes show the signs of ageing before other areas. We do offer treatments for the tear trough, which sometimes involves assessment of your grinding habits! This is because those people that grind their teeth, often show increased darkening under their eyes. Other treatments include the use of exosomes, and needling, to more advanced anti-ageing treatments.

Dark under eye circles can be treated also. The skin under the eyes is thin, and loses support early. As it thins, the under eye becomes dark as the blood vessels and ligaments become more visible.

Under eye hollowing and dark circles is a common complaint and one that we commonly treat.
It is important to note that tear trough correction is usually part of an overall facial rejuvenation plan, as it is the result of multiple advanced changes in the face. Tear trough correction usually involves correcting the cheek anatomy to create more support for the under eye area.
Not every patient will be a suitable candidate for the treatment. Sometimes referral to a plastic surgeon can be the ideal option.

As we get older, our face undergoes many changes. One of the most structural and impactful changes are in the lower face. Our mandible (our lower jaw) starts to thin and become less dominant. When the mandible is less supportive, our jowls begin to appear and there is sagging of the skin around the jawline and neck.
By targeting the jawline with different treatments, we can improve the facial profile, create definition and structure. Of course you will need a cosmetic consultation to determine which treatment is best for you.

This is very much up to you. If you have been thinking about treatment for a while, the first place to start is making a time for a cosmetic consultation with our cosmetic health practitioner. During this visit, we will discuss you and your needs. Treatment options vary widely, so you will be given time to think through what treatment you would like. Sometimes, you may opt for skin treatments such as laser to improve skin health and condition. Other people may prefer cosmetic medical treatment. We offer all of these treatments at Dermal Distinction.
