Facial ageing is a natural process that affects everyone. Over time, we lose collagen, elastin, bone support, fat volume and skin quality, leading to changes in facial contours and overall appearance. For many years, dermal fillers have been one of the most popular non-surgical treatments used to address age-related volume loss. However, there is increasing interest in a different approach known as regenerative aesthetics. Rather than simply replacing lost volume, regenerativ

Myths, Facts and What You Should Know Before Treatment As we age, facial volume, collagen and skin elasticity naturally decline. While traditional dermal fillers remain popular, many patients are now exploring treatments that focus on gradual and natural-looking rejuvenation rather than immediate volume alone. One treatment that has gained significant attention in regenerative aesthetics is Sculptra. But what exactly is it, how does it work, and is it the same as filler? Here

Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns seen in aesthetic and dermatology clinics. It can affect people of all ages and skin tones and may appear as patches, marks, uneven skin tone, or darkened areas on the skin. While pigmentation is usually harmless, it can sometimes affect confidence and quality of life. The good news is that many forms of pigmentation can be improved with the right diagnosis, skincare approach, and evidence-based treatment plan. At Hedonia C

Microneedling has become one of the most popular treatments in medical aesthetics for improving skin quality, supporting collagen production, and enhancing overall skin rejuvenation. It is commonly used for concerns such as uneven skin texture, acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, pigmentation concerns, and hair rejuvenation. However, many people focus only on the treatment itself and overlook something equally important: proper preparation and aftercare. What you do be

When patients think about skin ageing, collagen is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But clinically, one of the most overlooked contributors to ageing is loss of skin elasticity, driven by elastin degradation. If your skin no longer feels firm, “springy,” or resilient, this is often not just collagen loss. It is elastin. Understanding how elastin functions, and why it is harder to restore, is essential if you want long-term, natural-looking skin rejuvenation. What I

Ageing is not just about wrinkles. It is a complex, multi-layered process that affects the face from the bone all the way up to the skin. Understanding this is key to achieving natural, balanced results. At Hedonia, treatments are selected based on which layer is changing , rather than simply chasing lines or folds. 1. The Foundation: Bone (Deep Structural Changes) With age, the facial skeleton undergoes bone resorption , particularly in areas such as the maxilla, orbit, and

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is increasingly being explored in women’s health, particularly for concerns such as sexual dysfunction, vaginal dryness, and reduced sensitivity. You may have seen this treatment referred to online as the “O-Shot”. While that term is commonly used in media and marketing, it is not a generic medical term and does not reflect a standardised, evidence-based procedure. So what does the science actually say about PRP in this context? What is PRP and How

Regenerative aesthetics is one of the fastest-growing areas in aesthetic medicine. Treatments such as polynucleotides, PRP, and exosome-based therapies are becoming increasingly popular, but there’s still a lot of confusion about what they actually do and how effective they are. As an aesthetic doctor with a background in minimally invasive aesthetics, I always prioritise treatments that are supported by clinical evidence. Recently, several published studies have looked more

In this article, we explain how TCA peels work, what they can treat and what patients should expect from the treatment. What Is a TCA Chemical Peel? A TCA peel is a medical skin t

When used appropriately, TCA peels offer controlled skin renewal with predictable results.
