" Walking out of the clinic with chiselled cheekbones and a sharp jawline isn ' t the sudden transformation that many clients want . Ultimately you want people to comment on how well you look , ask if you have been on holiday etc ., rather than ' where did you get your cheek fillers done ?!'. "
Ultimately you want to look a more refreshed version of yourself , rather than someone who looks like they have had ' work done . Often the downtime for many of these treatments is little or none , so we have many clients who will pop in for their anti-wrinkle injections at lunchtime and be back at work for the afternoon ."
So , when looking for an aesthetics practitioner , what else do we need to know ?
" Make sure you put your face in the safe hands of a medical professional in a clinical environment . If something were to go wrong , the practitioner can address the situation and prescribe any medication required effectively and quickly . It ' s worth noting that currently , anyone can pick up some filler over the internet and start injecting your face with zero experience , the results of which we sadly often see in referrals resulting in disfigurement and distressed individuals . Ultimately , this is your face ; you wear it every day , so choose your practitioner wisely ."
About Amish
Amish has noticed one trend : the steady rise in male treatment enquiries following the ease of lockdown , so why is this ?
" I think during the pandemic , especially during the first wave , we had a lot of time for reflection . We saw an upward trend in home fitness and emphasis on wellbeing , then as time passed , we saw a rise in video calls , replacing face to face meetings . Extended time spent on social media during this time also moulded peoples ' perceptions of themselves along with the mindset that ' When this is all over , I ' m going to live my life how I want . Living for the moment and ' living my best life ' has to lead to a change in attitudes towards male aesthetics , and we ' ve seen that , having welcomed many new male clients to our clinic since we reopened our doors again ."
However , as Amish explains , the clinic has strict protocols in place and a moral code of duty ;
" As responsible medical professionals , we always have a consultation process before booking any treatment . This is to assess the client fully , discuss their treatment expectations , and decide whether they are even suitable for the treatment they desire . For example , if we feel that what the prospective client is asking for will harm or disfigure their face , we wouldn ' t proceed with any treatment . We also have a strict age policy in place and would never proceed with any aesthetic treatments on anyone 18 or under ."
So , for men looking at getting aesthetic work done - how is it different from women ' s aesthetics ?
" You really need to find someone who understands the anatomy and structure of the male face . The ' desired ' look for many men is often the strong jawline and high cheekbones . In addition , male clients will often want softening of their wrinkles rather than the complete removal of lines with careful placement of anti-wrinkle injections . More so that women , instead , male clients worry about people knowing that they had treatments . As we specialise in natural-looking results and retaining facial movement , we work with clients gradually to achieve their desired look .
