Skin function
Understanding how your skin functions helps guide safe and appropriate facial recommendations.
During your consultation, your practitioner may discuss:
- How your skin barrier works and factors that influence hydration and texture
- The differences between surface dryness and deeper dehydration
- How lifestyle, environment, and skincare habits may influence your skin’s appearance
- This provides foundational knowledge for choosing suitable facial methods based on your needs.
How medical grade facials work
Medical grade facials use professional techniques designed to support skin clarity, hydration, and overall skin comfort.
Your practitioner may explain:
- Cleansing approaches for removing surface build-up
- Exfoliation methods that help improve texture and brightness
- Hydration techniques that support skin comfort and appearance
- This helps you understand each step and its purpose so you can make an informed decision.
Facial methods
Your practitioner may outline various facial methods to determine which options align with your skin type and goals. These may include:
- Deep cleansing methods for congestion
- Clinical exfoliation techniques for texture
- Hydrating formulations for dryness or sensitivity
- Each method is discussed based on suitability, comfort, and your skin profile.
Areas assessed
During your consultation, your practitioner will examine areas that commonly influence overall skin appearance, such as:
- Cheeks and mid-face
- Forehead and temples
- Chin, jawline, and lower face
- Overall tone and texture distribution

Skin concerns
LED is commonly incorporated into cosmetic routines to support the appearance of:
- Dull or dehydrated-looking skin
- Visible redness
- Congestion-prone or uneven skin
- Surface dryness
- Sensitive-looking skin
Suitability is determined through consultation and personalised assessment.
LED for combination treatments
LED can be combined with other non-invasive cosmetic treatments to support overall skin quality. These combinations may include:
- Hydrating facials
- Gentle exfoliating treatments
- Cosmetic needling
- Certain light-based cosmetic services
Including LED within a broader plan can help support long-term skin maintenance.
Reduce size
Non-surgical techniques do not reduce physical tissue but may create the appearance of a smaller nose by adjusting proportions. Your practitioner may discuss:
- Balancing surrounding facial features
- Enhancing symmetry to alter visual perception
- Complementary treatments for the chin, cheeks, or lips, if relevant
All recommendations are explained thoroughly and tailored to your goals.
Asian nose considerations
Individuals of Asian heritage may have distinct nasal characteristics such as:
- A flatter nasal bridge
- A rounder tip shape
- Lower projection
Your practitioner may assess these features and recommend suitable, culturally sensitive approaches that respect your natural facial identity.
