Medical Aesthetics Treatment FAQs
Choosing the right medical aesthetics treatment is an important decision. Whether you are considering skin rejuvenation, anti-ageing treatments, injectables, or hair restoration, this FAQ page is designed to answer common patient questions clearly and honestly.
At AesthetiSKN, we believe informed patients achieve the best outcomes. Below, you will find helpful information about consultations, treatment suitability, safety, recovery, results, and what to expect from your aesthetic journey.
-
Medical aesthetics refers to non-surgical treatments designed to improve skin quality, facial balance, hair health, and overall appearance using clinically led techniques and medically approved products.
These treatments may include injectables, skin rejuvenation procedures, collagen stimulation therapies, and regenerative treatments.
-
Medical aesthetics treatments are carried out by medically trained professionals and focus on clinically led skin and facial treatments using advanced products and techniques.
Beauty treatments are typically non-medical and focus more on cosmetic maintenance rather than deeper skin rejuvenation or injectable procedures.
-
All treatments are carried out by Nikita Trehan, a medically trained practitioner with a Level 7 Diploma in Aesthetics, which is the highest aesthetics qualification available in the UK.
-
Yes. Our approach focuses on subtle, balanced and natural-looking results that enhance your existing features rather than dramatically changing them.
-
Yes. Many men choose treatments for skin quality, hair thinning, anti-ageing concerns, excessive sweating, and facial rejuvenation.

Consultations And Treatment Planning
-
Yes. Every treatment begins with a consultation to assess your concerns, medical history, suitability, and goals before creating a personalised treatment plan.
-
Your consultation may include:
Discussion of your concerns and goals
Skin or facial assessment
Medical suitability checks
Treatment recommendations
Explanation of risks and aftercare
Discussion of expected outcomes
-
Yes. Many patients book consultations because they are unsure which treatment is most suitable. We will guide you through your options based on your concerns and goals.
Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
-
We offer several treatments designed to improve skin quality, hydration, texture and firmness, including:
polynucleotides
skin boosters
Profhilo
microneedling
PRP
chemical peels
-
Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments designed to support skin repair, collagen production, hydration, and overall skin quality.
They are commonly used for tired, ageing or dull-looking skin.
-
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deeply hydrate the skin and improve elasticity, texture and radiance.
Unlike dermal fillers, they are designed primarily for skin quality rather than adding volume.
-
Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment designed to improve skin hydration, firmness and elasticity while supporting collagen stimulation.
-
Microneedling is commonly used to improve:
acne scarring
skin texture
enlarged pores
fine lines
overall skin rejuvenation
-
Yes. Chemical peels are often used to improve pigmentation, acne scarring, uneven skin tone and dull skin.
Suitability depends on your skin type and concerns.
Injectables
-
Dermal fillers are commonly used to:
restore lost facial volume
enhance lips
define facial contours
soften deeper lines and folds
Our approach focuses on natural-looking enhancement.
-
Anti-wrinkle injections are treatments designed to soften dynamic facial lines caused by repeated muscle movement, such as forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet.
-
No. When carried out correctly, anti-wrinkle treatments should soften movement while still allowing natural facial expression.
-
Results vary depending on the product used, treatment area and individual factors. Longevity will be discussed during your consultation.
Safety, Downtime And Aftercare
-
Yes, when performed by a suitably qualified practitioner using clinically appropriate products and protocols.
At AesthetiSKN, patient safety is prioritised throughout every stage of treatment.
-
Most treatments involve mild discomfort rather than significant pain. Some treatments may include numbing products where appropriate.
-
Downtime depends on the treatment. Some procedures may involve temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising.
You will receive aftercare guidance specific to your treatment.
-
Some treatments provide visible improvements relatively quickly, while regenerative treatments may develop gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases.
-
Yes. Combination treatment plans are often recommended to address multiple concerns such as hydration, texture, volume loss and skin laxity.

Yes. We kindly ask that all appointment cancellations or rescheduling requests are made at least 48 hours before your appointment.
Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice may result in the loss of your deposit, and no-show appointments may be charged up to 100% of the treatment cost. This policy helps protect our small business, as appointment times are reserved specifically for you and short-notice cancellations often cannot be filled.
If you need to amend your appointment, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you.
