Looking like a refreshed version of yourself

Our faces naturally change over time.

Imagine a house. The walls are important, but they also rely on strong foundations and a solid frame underneath. As we age, the skin changes, but so do the deeper layers that support it. Fat can reduce or shift, ligaments become less supportive and the underlying bone gradually changes shape. These changes can affect facial balance and the way light reflects from the face, sometimes creating shadows or a tired appearance.

Facial Support and Volume treatments are designed to restore support where age-related changes have occurred. Depending on your individual anatomy and goals, this may involve restoring lost volume, improving structural support or encouraging your skin's natural regenerative processes.

The goal is not to make your face look bigger or different. It is to help you look like a refreshed version of yourself.

Facial Support and Volume treatments may be suitable for concerns such as loss of cheek support, reduced facial volume associated with ageing, softening of facial contours, reduced jawline definition, chin projection or facial balance, hollowing beneath the eyes or temples in suitable patients, facial asymmetry, and loss of facial support contributing to a tired appearance.

Not every concern is best managed by restoring volume. Sometimes improving skin quality, supporting collagen production or addressing muscle movement provides a better outcome. Your consultation is designed to determine the most appropriate approach for your anatomy and goals.

Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation.

We will talk about what you have noticed changing, what concerns you most and what you would like to achieve. Your doctor will carefully assess your facial anatomy, proportions and movement before discussing the treatment options most appropriate for you.

Every treatment plan is individualised. Some patients benefit from restoring support in one area, while others achieve a better outcome by improving skin quality or combining different treatments over time.

Where clinically appropriate, ultrasound technology may be used to better understand your anatomy and support treatment planning or selected procedures.

Sometimes.

Some patients achieve their goals with a single treatment, while others benefit from a gradual approach over several appointments.

Faces rarely age in just one way. Building your treatment plan over time often produces the most natural-looking result and allows each stage to be reviewed before deciding whether any further treatment is needed.

This depends on the treatment recommended for you.

Some treatments produce visible changes soon after your appointment, while others work gradually by supporting your skin's natural regenerative processes.

It is also normal to experience some temporary swelling after treatment, so your appearance will continue to settle over the following days or weeks. Your doctor will explain what to expect based on your individual treatment plan.

Longevity varies depending on the treatment selected, the area treated and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

Some treatments provide structural support, while others work gradually to improve skin quality over time. During your consultation, your doctor will discuss the expected longevity of the treatment recommended for you.

As your face continues to age naturally, maintenance treatment may be appropriate for some patients.

Most patients return to their normal daily activities soon after treatment.

Depending on the treatment performed, it is common to experience temporary swelling, tenderness, redness or bruising. These effects usually improve over several days, although recovery varies between individuals and treatment types.

You will receive personalised aftercare instructions before leaving the clinic.

Every medical procedure carries risk.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness.

Less common complications can occur and, in rare cases, may be serious. Your doctor will discuss these with you during your consultation, including how risks are reduced through careful assessment, appropriate patient selection and detailed knowledge of facial anatomy.

Atelier places a strong emphasis on conservative treatment planning, evidence-based care and precision. Where clinically appropriate, ultrasound technology may be used to support treatment planning and selected procedures.

Every face is different, so treatment is always personalised.

Some patients require only a small amount of treatment, while others benefit from a staged treatment plan or a combination of different approaches.

Following your consultation, you will receive an individualised treatment plan and written quote before deciding whether to proceed.

Very little preparation is required.

Please arrive with clean skin where possible and let your doctor know about any recent illnesses, dental treatment, medications or previous cosmetic procedures.

Your suitability for treatment will be assessed during your consultation, and any specific preparation required for your recommended treatment will be discussed with you.

Yes.

Facial ageing involves changes in many different layers of the face, including the skin, fat, ligaments, muscles and bone. Because of this, the best results are often achieved by addressing more than one contributing factor.

Depending on your concerns, Facial Support and Volume treatments may be combined with treatments that improve skin quality, support collagen remodelling, soften expression lines or address pigmentation and redness.

Not everything needs to happen at once. At Atelier, treatment plans are designed to evolve gradually, with each step guided by your goals, anatomy and how your face responds over time.
