Beyond aesthetics: this isn't just sweating

Choosing clothes around it. Keeping a spare shirt nearby. Worrying whether somebody else has noticed.

Excessive underarm sweating - or Hyperhidrosis - can take up a ridiculous amount of headspace.

And people can spend years living with the inconvenience and embarrassment without realising that excessive sweating can be a medical condition.

So finding out there are effective treatments available can genuinely be life-changing.

Next up in our Beyond Aesthetics series: when muscular tension could be contributing to your headaches.

📩 If excessive sweating is interfering with your day-to-day life, book a consultation with Dr Farmah to discuss your options.

Beyond aesthetics: when your jaw won't give you a break

You use your jaw all day without giving it much thought.

Until opening your mouth feels uncomfortable. Or pain around the jaw becomes something you're conscious of every single day.

TMJ problems can have a surprisingly big impact for something most of us barely think about when everything is working normally.

And if overactive jaw muscles are contributing to that pain, there may be ways we can help relieve it.

Next up: the medical condition people often mistake for simply “sweating a lot”.

📩 Persistent jaw pain or discomfort? Book a consultation with Dr Farmah for an assessment.

Beyond aesthetics: getting your life back from migraine

Anyone who lives with chronic migraine knows it isn't simply a bad headache.

It can mean cancelled plans, interrupted working days, and constantly wondering whether another attack is coming.

So when we talk about successful treatment, we're not only interested in the number of migraine days. We're interested in what having fewer of them gives you back.

Next in our Beyond Aesthetics series: jaw pain and TMJ problems.

📩 If you're living with chronic migraine, book a consultation with Dr Farmah to discuss your symptoms and treatment options.

Beyond aesthetics: when pain becomes normal

There are patients who come to see us with absolutely no interest in changing how they look.

They just want something to stop hurting.

And when you've lived with pain for months or even years, it's surprising how much you can adapt your life around it before asking whether anything can actually be done.

Over the next two weeks, we’re going to share some of the medical concerns we see and treat in our aesthetics clinic that have very little to do with ‘aesthetics’.

Because sometimes the most significant result isn't one you can see.

New nose. Now what?…

We've shown you Jimmy's result and taken you through the treatment itself.

But a consultation shouldn't only prepare you for what happens in the treatment room.

You also need to know what to expect afterwards, what you should and shouldn't do, and how long your result is likely to last.

That's why aftercare isn't an add-on to treatment. It's part of it.

And that brings us to the end of Jimmy's non-surgical nose job series.

Six videos, one very happy barber, and hopefully a much clearer idea of what the treatment actually involves.

📩 If you've followed Jimmy's journey and you're wondering whether non-surgical rhinoplasty could be right for you, book a consultation with Dr Farmah.

So Jimmy, tell us the truth. Did it hurt? 😂

Pain is one of those things that's very difficult to judge from watching somebody else have a treatment.

And it's also one of the things people can build up enormously in their heads beforehand.

Jimmy was expecting his non-surgical rhinoplasty to be much worse than it was. And apparently his hair transplant had set quite the benchmark!

Everyone experiences treatment differently, so we’re never going to promise you won't feel anything.

What we can do is take pain management seriously and make the experience as comfortable as possible.

One more Jimmy post to go: what happens after you leave the clinic?

Remember Jimmy and his new nose?

Last week we showed you what bothered him, how we changed it, and the result he walked away with.

This week, we're getting into the bits you didn't see in as much detail: what having a non-surgical nose job is actually like.

Because injecting is only one part of treatment.

There's assessment, cleansing, numbing and careful marking up before we get anywhere near a needle.

And we think seeing that matters. A good result might look simple afterwards, but there should be a lot of thought behind how you get there.

Next up: Jimmy gives you his verdict on whether it actually hurt.

I think Jimmy likes his new nose… 😂

Before treatment, patients have usually spent years looking at the thing that bothered them in the mirror.

So, we love seeing patients check out their result from every possible angle after treatment. And seeing them love their reflection.

And that feeling is really what our work is all about.

We met Jimmy, looked at what he wanted to change, and showed you what can be achieved with a non-surgical rhinoplasty. And now he can't stop looking at it 🥰

This coming week, we're rewinding a little and taking you through exactly what Jimmy's treatment involved, including the question everyone wants answered: does it hurt?

📩 If Jimmy's result has got you thinking about what treatment could achieve for you, book a consultation with Dr Farmah to find out what's possible.

How can adding filler make a nose seem smaller? 🤔

It can seem counterintuitive until you see it. But it’s all about careful assessment of your anatomy and skilled injecting.

By strategically placing filler, we can change the proportions and how the different parts of the nose relate to each other. And sometimes a few carefully considered changes are enough to make the whole profile look much more balanced.

And Jimmy's reaction tells you what he thinks of his result 😊

Part 3 is the important bit: how changes like this can make you feel.

I gave my barber a new nose: Meet Jimmy

Jimmy cuts my hair. I offered to treat his nose. Seemed like a fair arrangement!

Joking aside, Jimmy had been bothered by his side profile for a long time.

And I know that a lot of people feel the same way about their nose: it’s the thing their eye goes to immediately in the mirror and in photos.

So, over the next couple of posts, I'm going to show you how I helped Jimmy to feel good about his nose.

Next up: how adding filler can actually make a nose look smaller.

📩 If you relate and there’s something that always catches your eye in the mirror, book a consultation to talk about what we could achieve for you.
