A Medical Approach to Aesthetic Care

At Bronte, we believe aesthetic medicine is part of healthcare.

Many aesthetic treatments have both cosmetic and therapeutic applications. Our approach focuses on evidence-based care, patient safety, informed decision-making, and individual assessment.

Every treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns, medical history, treatment goals, and whether any treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Recommendations are based on clinical assessment and are tailored to the individual. Not all patients will be suitable candidates for treatment.

Treatment of Facial lines and Wrinkles

Repeated facial movement, ageing, sun exposure, and other environmental factors can contribute to the development of facial lines.

Following a consultation, treatment may be considered for concerns relating to:

  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines between the brows
  • Lines around the eyes
  • Chin dimpling
  • Prominent neck bands
  • Selected concerns involving facial muscle activity

Treatment may reduce the appearance of certain facial lines in suitable patients. Outcomes vary between individuals, and treatment recommendations are based on a comprehensive assessment of facial anatomy and treatment goals.

Individual Assessment and Treatment Planning

We recognise that every patient has different concerns, expectations, and medical considerations.

During your consultation, your clinician will discuss:

  • Your concerns and treatment goals
  • Available treatment options
  • Potential benefits and limitations
  • Possible risks and side effects
  • Alternative approaches
  • Whether treatment is appropriate for you

Our focus is on supporting informed decision-making and providing care that is appropriate to each patient’s individual circumstances.

Important Information

All medical procedures carry risks and potential side effects.

The potential benefits, limitations, risks, expected outcomes, and alternative treatment options will be discussed during your consultation to assist you in making an informed decision.

Results vary between individuals, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed. Not all patients will be suitable candidates for treatment.

For safety reasons, our clinicians do not provide injectable aesthetic treatments during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, please discuss this with your clinician during your consultation.

Book a Consultation

If you would like to discuss aesthetic or therapeutic treatment options, you can book a consultation with one of our clinicians.

A consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, explore available options, and determine whether any treatment may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

For the most thorough examination, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that is easy to remove, as a comprehensive skin check usually involves examining your skin from head to toe.

If possible, avoid wearing heavy or tinted makeup, particularly foundation, BB cream or tinted moisturiser. These products can make it more difficult to accurately assess facial skin lesions. If you normally wear makeup, you may be asked to remove it from areas that require closer examination.

If you have a new or changing lesion beneath a fingernail or toenail, please remove nail polish beforehand so it can be properly assessed. Otherwise, nail polish does not usually need to be removed.

This depends on your individual risk factors. Some people benefit from annual skin checks, while others with a personal history of skin cancer or a higher risk may require more frequent surveillance. Your GP can recommend a screening schedule tailored to your needs.

Many suspicious lesions can be assessed further with a skin biopsy or removed in the practice under local anaesthetic. If a lesion requires specialist management, your GP will discuss the most appropriate referral and treatment options.

A full skin check generally takes around 15–30 minutes, depending on the number of moles or lesions requiring assessment. If you have multiple concerns, please let reception know when booking so sufficient time can be allocated.
