Facial aesthetic services
Not sure where to begin? A personal consultation is a place to start. You can also read about our individual facial aesthetic services below, including what treatment and recovery involve.
Explore our services below.
-
Start with a conversation. Tell us what you're curious about, what you've tried before and what matters to you.
We combine this with an individual assessment, then talk through appropriate options, costs, risks and recovery. You can take time to consider the information before deciding on any treatment.
-
Facial lines and changes in facial expression can develop over time due to repeated muscle movement, ageing, skin quality and individual facial anatomy.
During your consultation, we assess the areas that concern you, your facial movement and relevant medical history, discuss risks and discuss the treatment options that may be appropriate for you.
Recommendations are individualised and depend on your anatomy, goals and clinical suitability. Treatment may not be recommended in every case.
-
If you have concerns about facial volume, proportions or contour, a consultation provides an opportunity to explore the available options.
We assess areas such as the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline and lower face in the context of your individual facial anatomy, medical history, discuss risks and treatment goals.
Any treatment recommendations are made following assessment and depend on individual suitability.
-
Collagen-stimulating treatments work beneath the skin's surface to support the body's natural collagen production. Over time, this may help improve the appearance of skin firmness, elasticity and texture.
These treatments may be considered for people seeking gradual improvement in skin quality, fine lines, laxity or facial contours without the same volumising effect associated with some other injectable treatments. Results develop progressively and vary between individuals depending on factors such as the treatment used, treatment area, age and individual response.
A consultation is required to assess suitability, discuss the expected outcome and explain the risks, recovery and maintenance involved.
-
PDO thread lifting is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that may be considered for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
The procedure uses dissolvable polydioxanone threads placed beneath the skin to provide support and reposition selected facial tissues. Depending on the thread type and treatment area, the procedure may also stimulate collagen production as the threads gradually dissolve.
Treatment can be tailored to areas such as the cheeks, jawline and neck. Results vary between patients and depend on factors including facial anatomy, skin quality and the degree of laxity being treated.
A consultation is required to assess suitability, discuss the expected outcome, limitations, alternatives and potential risks, and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Procedure time: 60-90 minutes.
-
If you are concerned about areas of localised facial fullness, a consultation can help determine which management options may be appropriate for you.
During your consultation, we assess the area of concern, your facial anatomy, medical history and treatment goals, discuss risks and discuss the options that may be suitable based on your individual circumstances.
Treatment recommendations vary between patients and depend on clinical assessment and suitability.
-
If you experience recurrent migraines or headaches, a consultation can help determine whether any of the treatment options available through The Ruthy Clinic may be appropriate for you.
Your clinician will discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous diagnoses and treatments, and the pattern and frequency of your headaches. Where appropriate, available treatment options can then be discussed based on your individual circumstances.
Some headaches require investigation or management by a GP, neurologist or other medical practitioner, and referral may be recommended where appropriate.
-
Considering Rejuran? This injectable polynucleotide gel is used in dermal tissue restoration and reconstruction and is available for discussion at your consultation. We'll review your skin and previous treatments, then explain the particular product and whether it fits your needs.
Allow around 30-45 minutes for a treatment appointment, depending on the plan.
Recovery can involve redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, pinpoint bleeding or raised injection sites. Infection, allergic or inflammatory reactions and persistent lumps are possible and may need medical attention. Recovery is not always limited to a few days.
The course of treatment and response are individual. We will discuss the product's intended use, precautions and alternatives before you decide.
-
Targeted microinjection treatments that support skin hydration, texture, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Procedure time: Approximately 30 minutes
Downtime: Mild redness, swelling or small raised areas may occur and usually settle over the following days.
Treatment plan: Treatment frequency and the number of sessions varies depending on the product used, your skin and your individual goals.
-
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) uses a small sample of your own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors before being introduced into targeted areas of the skin or scalp. PRP is used to support the body’s natural repair processes, with results developing gradually and varying between individuals.
For skin, PRP may help improve the appearance of texture, tone and overall skin quality by supporting collagen activity and tissue renewal. It may suit patients looking for gradual skin improvement without the volumising effect associated with some other injectable treatments.
For hair and scalp, PRP may be used to support follicle and scalp health and may help improve hair density or quality in suitable patients. It is not appropriate for every cause of hair thinning, so individual assessment is important.
Each treatment is tailored during consultation based on your suitability, treatment goals and clinical factors. Expected outcomes, risks, recovery and ongoing treatment requirements will be discussed before proceeding.
-
Struggling with persistent hayfever symptoms such as congestion, sneezing or nasal irritation?
The Ruthy Clinic offers consultations for patients wanting to explore their management options. We review your symptoms, medical history and previous treatments before discussing options that may be appropriate for you.
-
Jaw clenching and teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can contribute to jaw discomfort, muscle tension, tooth wear and headaches in some patients.
Your consultation includes an assessment of your symptoms, jaw muscles, teeth, bite, discuss risks and relevant medical and dental history. We will also consider other potential causes and discuss suitable management options based on your individual circumstances.
Treatment recommendations vary depending on the underlying cause, severity of symptoms and clinical assessment.
-
Laser and IPL services are planned for The Ruthy Clinic. We will share treatment details and appointment availability when the service is ready.
DISCLAIMER: Results may vary between individuals. All dental and non-surgical aesthetic procedures carry potential risks and benefits. Before proceeding, we recommend seeking advice from an appropriately qualified practitioner. Always consult your healthcare professional regarding your medical conditions and treatment options, including possible risks and benefits.
What to expect at your first appointment
Your first appointment begins with a discussion about your concerns, treatment goals, medical history and previous aesthetic treatments. We will assess your facial movement, proportions, symmetry and any areas you would like to address.
Where treatment is suitable, we will explain your options, expected outcomes, risks, limitations and aftercare. If treatment is not appropriate, or if a different approach would better suit your goals, we will discuss that with you honestly.
For some patients, treatment may be performed on the day. For others, especially where more planning is required, we may recommend a staged approach. Our focus is on safe, considered care rather than rushed treatment.
You are welcome to ask questions at any stage. We want you to feel informed, comfortable and confident before proceeding.
