Facial Aesthetics

A personalised approach to facial aesthetics

Facial aesthetics should begin with diagnosis rather than with a standard treatment. At Alinea, the clinical assessment considers facial structure, expression, skin quality, symmetry and the patient’s own priorities. The aim is to create a proportionate plan that respects the identity of the face instead of applying the same correction to every patient.

Available treatment options

Depending on the clinical assessment, options may include hyaluronic acid fillers to restore or refine volume and contour, botulinum toxin for selected expression lines, collagen biostimulators, skinboosters and other minimally invasive techniques. A combination of treatments may be considered when this offers a more balanced result.

Clinical planning and natural-looking results

The amount, location and sequence of treatment are planned according to facial anatomy and the patient’s objectives. Conservative treatment planning can help maintain expression and avoid an over-treated appearance. Results and duration vary between patients and depend on the technique, treatment area and individual metabolism.

Safety, aftercare and follow-up

Every procedure has potential side effects and risks. Common short-term effects can include tenderness, redness, swelling or bruising. Patients receive aftercare instructions and information about warning signs that require clinical review. Follow-up allows the team to assess healing and the final result.

Combining facial and dental aesthetics

For selected patients, facial aesthetics can be planned alongside dental treatments such as whitening, orthodontics or restorative dentistry. These are separate clinical decisions, but considering the smile and the surrounding facial structures together can help create a coherent overall treatment plan.

Is facial aesthetic treatment painful?

Comfort varies by treatment and area. Depending on the procedure, topical or local anaesthesia and other comfort measures may be used. Most minimally invasive facial aesthetic procedures are completed in a relatively short appointment, but your clinician will explain what to expect before treatment.

How long do the results last?

Duration depends on the treatment, product, area treated and individual metabolism. Some treatments are temporary and require maintenance, while collagen-stimulating treatments can evolve gradually over time. Your clinician will explain the expected duration for the specific treatment proposed.

Which facial aesthetic treatments are available?

Treatment options may include hyaluronic acid fillers, botulinum toxin, collagen biostimulators, skinboosters and other minimally invasive techniques. Availability and suitability depend on the clinical assessment and the patient’s goals.

How is safety assessed?

Safety starts with a medical and clinical history, facial assessment and discussion of previous treatments, medication and relevant health conditions. The clinician then determines whether the proposed procedure is appropriate and explains expected effects, possible side effects, risks and alternatives.

Can facial aesthetics be combined with dental treatment?

Yes, in selected cases. Facial and dental treatments can be coordinated when this supports the patient’s overall goals, but each procedure should have its own clinical indication. The sequence of treatment is planned according to oral health, facial anatomy and recovery requirements.

What side effects can occur?

Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur after minimally invasive facial procedures. Less common complications depend on the treatment and product used. Before treatment, the clinician will explain the relevant risks and the symptoms that should prompt urgent clinical contact.
