Welcome to our (somewhat lighthearted) A-Z Guide to Aesthetics, where we break down our treatment world one letter at a time.
It’s probably no surprise that the aesthetics industry continues to grow. With it, comes new treatments and words, so aesthetics may seem a confusing place at times.
It doesn’t need to be!
There are a few key areas that are worth knowing, so we’ve picked our favs to have a bit of fun with in our A-Z Guide of Aesthetics.
A is for Anti-Wrinkle
Anti-wrinkle treatments are our favourite anti-ageing wand that whispers, “Wrinkles? Never heard of them.” (But we have heard of these anti-wrinkle myths).
B is for Botox
Because sometimes, your forehead needs to look as calm as your meditation app says you are. Botox is the world famous anti-wrinkle brand, having been around longer than most of us.
C is for Chemical Peel
For when your face needs to hit “refresh”, a chemical peel is a perfect skin treatment reset.
D is for Dermal Filler
Plumping your lips, cheeks, and confidence levels simultaneously, dermal fillers are a crowd favourite.
E is for Exfoliation
Out with the old (skin cells), in with the glow.
F is for Facials
Like a spa day, but for your face. Your pores will send you a thank-you note when booking these skin treatments.
G is for Glow
The ultimate goal. If you’re not glowing, what are you even doing?
H is for Hyaluronic Acid
A skincare ingredient so hydrating that absolutely everything uses it, including our Hyaluronic Acid & Collagen Serum (was that done subtly?)
I is for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Zapping away imperfections faster than you can say “laser tag for adults”
J is for Jawline Contouring
For when you want your jawline to look sharp enough to cut glass, jawline filler and contouring is the way to go.
K is for Keratin
The wonder protein that helps our hair, nails, skin, and more.
L is for Lip Filler
Lip filler is one of the U.K’s favourite treatments; who doesn’t love a good set of lips? Just make sure you learn to bust these myths about lip filler.
M is for Microneedling
A hundred tiny needles poking your skin… sounds fun, right? But oh, the microneedling glow after!
N is for Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds; those smile lines that remind you of all the laughs you’ve had… but we can soften those a bit.
O is for Oxygen Facial
Because your skin deserves to breathe luxury (and an ozone steam is part of all of our facials).
P is for PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Also known as the “Vampire Facial,” because nothing says beauty like using your own blood.
Q is for Qualified
No jokes on this one. Simply make sure any practitioner you use is educated and qualified. That, and we were struggling to think of something beginning with Q.
R is for Retinol
The overachiever of skincare ingredients. Wrinkles? Acne? Pigmentation? Retinol’s got it covered.
S is for SPF
The real MVP of anti-ageing. Because the sun’s rays aren’t your friend.
T is for Tweakments
Not quite a transformation, just a little “you, but you feel better.”
U is for Under Eyes
The under-eye skin rejuvenation treatments that lifts your dark bags and carries them for you.
V is for Vitamin C
Brightening your skin like a morning cup of coffee brightens your day.
W is for Weight Loss
From fat-dissolving injections to weight management options, weight loss is an achievable goal when coupled with a healthy lifestyle.
X is for Xenomin
Another wrinkle-smoothing brand option, and thankfully it is, as I didn’t want to just stick X-ray down here.
Y is for Youthful Glow
The elusive fountain of youth, bottled in serums and treatments.
Z is for Zzzzz…
Beauty sleep: the most affordable aesthetic treatment of them all. Don’t skip it!
So that’s our, slightly silly but true, A-Z Guide to Aesthetics.
Discover more about these aesthetic treatments and how Perfectly You Co. can help you achieve your beauty goals.
Remember, confidence is the best aesthetic of all — but a little glow-up never hurts!
