Consultation for Advanced Facial Concerns in Thanet, Kent
Some facial concerns involve a complex combination of muscle activity, facial anatomy, skin quality and underlying health factors. During an advanced facial consultation, one of our nurses will take a medical history, assess the area of concern and discuss the options that may be appropriate. Recommendations vary between patients and may include no treatment, a non-prescription approach, referral to another healthcare professional or, where clinically appropriate, consideration of a prescription-only medicine. A consultation does not guarantee that treatment will be recommended or provided.
Facial movement and asymmetry
Facial movement and asymmetry can have several possible causes. Your nurse will assess the relevant muscles and surrounding facial structures before discussing whether any treatment or referral may be appropriate.
Jaw muscle activity
Concerns involving jaw clenching, tooth grinding or enlarged jaw muscles may require assessment by a dentist or another healthcare professional. The clinic may recommend seeking appropriate medical or dental advice before considering cosmetic treatment.
Excessive sweating
Excessive sweating can sometimes have an underlying medical cause. Patients may be advised to consult their GP before cosmetic options are considered.
Lower-face and neck concerns
The lower face and neck are anatomically complex areas. A consultation is required to assess the concern, discuss realistic expectations and determine whether treatment would be clinically appropriate.
