Your Concerns

Some of us experience acne later in life due to hormone imbalances, and excessive oil production. Active skin care products and exfoliating treatments help to restore the balance and prevent ongoing breakouts.

Healthy and hydrated skin gives off a natural shine and glow which is often lost as we get older. Gently removing dead skin cells and infusing hydration into the skin helps to restore the glow whilst addressing fine lines and general skin health.

A ‘double chin’ reduces the appearance of a sharp jawline, and is often a combination of loose skin and excess fat. The position of jaw and chin prominence can also have an impact on the appearance of a double chin. Platinum Cosmetics have skin tightening treatments that will help to firm any lax skin, and fat reduction treatments that are specifically for the double chin area.

We are fully aware that everyone has their own opinion on whether they like lines and wrinkles on themselves and others. Depending on where they are on the face, they can give others a a ‘first impression’ that is not necessarily accurate. Frown lines, forehead lines, crows feet, marionette lines, sleep creases, and lines that form from loss of volume are possible treatment areas. It depends entirely on what bothers you, and how we can best achieve your desired aesthetic outcome. There is not one treatment that can address existing lines in all areas and help prevent, so it is always a multi-modality approach to make sure get the best and most natural long lasting results possible.

With loss of volume and changes in our skull shape as we age, the volume and definition we may have had in our cheeks when we were younger can change dramatically. Replacing lost volume and adding some structure to cheek bones can really help to freshen a tired appearance and also reduce the need for ‘contouring’ with makeup on a daily basis. Skilled clinicians can really enhance a face without overfilling or changing the way a person looks.

Excessive hair on the face and body can be permanently reduced with IPL hair removal. Frequent sessions will be needed due to hair growth cycles, but its well worth it for permanent results. Facial hair on the face grows faster than on the body, so your clinician will need to see you more often to ensure you always treat the maximum amount of hair possible with each treatment.

Hormonal pigmentation is a concern that many women will have due to pregnancy and taking particular oral contraceptive pills that are designed to alter hormone levels. Reducing and control melasma is possible with the right combination of products and treatments.

As our skin loses elasticity with age our pores appear larger, particularly across our nose, cheeks, and forehead. Exfoliation and collagen stimulation helps to strengthen the skin and reduce pore size.

Pigmentation that has appeared as a result of years of sun exposure can be addressed with in clinic treatments, and cosmeceutical skincare at home. IPL and lasers can help reduce and eliminate pigmentation, whilst cosmeceutical skin care allows you to maintain these results at home.

Broken vessels on the face and legs can often be embarrassing and difficult to cover. They can become more prominent as we age due to thinning of the skin, lifestyle choices, and trauma over time. We have the technology to treat both small capillaries and larger vessels.

Diffuse redness and flushing in the cheeks can have many causes, which also means there are many ways we can help to reduce the visible redness. Proper diagnosis is needed to ensure the appropriate products and treatments are prescribed.

With changes in our skin quality and texture over time, a common concern is one of ‘sagging’ and ‘droopy’ skin. Genetics, and extrinsic factors like UV exposure mean that skin starts to lose its volume, hydration and tautness over the years, reducing its ability bounce back into place. Stimulating collagen, and thickening tissue helps to return skin back to its former glory. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right treatments, home skin-car regime, and patience, common areas of concern like loose under-eye skin, neck, jawline, and décolletage tissue can be rejuvenated with long last results.
