What concerns you.
01
« I look tired, even when rested. »
Often, the frowning muscle gives the face a stern or tired look. Sometimes it is a hollow under the eyes, or an upper eyelid that feels heavier.
What may help
botulinum toxin relaxes the frown; in some cases, hyaluronic acid fills the hollow under the eye, after examination.
What calls for another doctor
excess eyelid skin (surgery), pigmented or vascular dark circles (dermatology), genuine fatigue (your GP).
02
« My lines deepen when I smile. »
These are expression lines: forehead, frown lines, crow's feet. They arise from repeated muscle contraction.
What calls for something else
a line visible at rest responds less well to toxin alone; skin quality calls for other treatments.
03
« My face has become hollow. »
Over the years, facial bone, fat and ligaments change: the cheekbones, temples and jawline lose support.
What may help
hyaluronic acid restores support where it is lacking. It is absorbable and reversible with an enzyme, hyaluronidase.
What calls for another doctor
significant skin laxity, which only surgery can correct.
04
« My skin is dull, uneven. »
Skin texture, radiance, small spots: it is skin quality that is involved, not volume.
What may help
medical peels and facial PRP (from November), and above all daily sun protection.
What calls for another doctor
a spot that changes, bleeds or grows should be shown to a dermatologist.
05
« My hair is thinning. »
Hair loss has many causes: iron deficiency, thyroid, hormones, a period of stress, heredity.
What may help
first, an assessment, with a blood test if needed; then scalp PRP may be proposed for hereditary hair loss (from November).
What calls for another doctor
patchy hair loss, or hair falling out with inflamed or scarred scalp skin (dermatology).
06
« I don't know what I need. »
That is precisely the role of the assessment consultation: examination, computer-assisted analysis of your face, explanations.
What may help
a clear opinion, even if that opinion is to wait or do nothing.
