Facial Aesthetics

Facial aesthetics has evolved beyond filler and augmentation. Today, the focus is on bio-regeneration and harnessing the body’s natural ability to produce collagen and restore radiance from within. The result is a refreshed appearance that reflects your true self—vibrant, confident, and naturally radiant.

Getting Prepared for your Appointment

Facial aesthetics

In the evolving world of facial aesthetics, much attention is often placed on treatments that enhance features, smooth wrinkles, or restore volume. Yet at the heart of every successful aesthetic transformation lies one essential factor: skin health.

At Beale & Cullen, we take a holistic approach to addressing the signs of ageing. Over time, the skin naturally loses collagen, elasticity, and volume, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and changes in facial contours. Our philosophy is not to change how you look, but to help you appear refreshed and rejuvenated.

To achieve this, we use a carefully tailored combination of treatments, including bio-regenerative injectables, dermal fillers, muscle-relaxant injections, and microneedling. Bio-regenerative injectables in particular are at the forefront of modern aesthetics, working to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, and restoring the skin’s underlying structure for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Bioregenerative injectables/Skin boosters

We offer a range of bio-regenerative treatments designed to address common skin concerns such as hydration, firmness, texture, redness, and overall radiance. Using advanced injectable hyaluronic acid and polynucleotide therapies— including Profhilo®, Rejuran®, and Sunekos® — with a focus on enhancing skin quality from within, promoting natural regeneration for healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Some of these products are known as skin boosters, but our injectables do more than just boost the skin, they will stimulate and promote regeneration.

Treatment
Muscle relaxant injections (Dysport® and Botox®)

Muscle relaxant injections work by causing the facial muscles to relax, smoothening the appearance of wrinkles that occur naturally with age and help prevent further signs of ageing of the skin. 

They can also be used to treat overworked jaw muscles to help with temporomandibular dysfunction if you clench or grind your teeth. 

Price:  Dysport® $6/unit  Botox® $18/unit

Dysport and Botox
Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Fillers, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, work by replenishing this volume, supporting the skin’s structure, and creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance. They can also be used to subtly enhance features such as the lips, cheeks, or jawline, always with the goal of achieving natural-looking balance and harmony.

Price from $450

Derma Filler
Microneedling/PRP

A simple procedure that will stimulate the skin’s collagen production and has a range of benefits for the skin. It can be paired with either PRP or Exosomes. 

PRP is Platelet Rich Plasma, which are the platelets we can harvest through a blood draw and concentrate in a centrifuge. 

Exosomes are natural byproducts of cells. They help cells to communicate and aid in the regenerative process by delivering growth factors, enzymes and peptides to recipient cells. 

Microneedling $350 + exosome/PRP $250

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I expect to see results after treatment?

Results from treatment typically start becoming noticeable within 3 to 7 days post-treatment, with full effects usually visible within twoweeks.This can vary with individual toxins

The effects of toxin typically last around 3 to 4 months. However,individual results may vary based on metabolism and muscle activity. Some specific areas can last a shorter or longer time.

Dental crowns protect damaged teeth by completely encasing the tooth structure, providing more support for chewing than a filling or onlay can. Stability is particularly crucial for molars, which absorb much of the force from chewing. 

Skilled administration by a qualified provider ensures natural-looking results, allowing for facial expression while reducing wrinkles and lines.

Typically, treatments are repeated every 3 to 4 months to maintain results. We will create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.

Toxin is used to address dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. The appropriate time to begin varies; a consultation will help determine if it aligns with your aesthetic goals.

What are dermal fillers and how do they work?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. As we age, we can develop laxity in the skin, deepening of wrinkles and a loss of facial volume, leading to a sunken or hollow look. Filler can be used to replace some of the lost volume to create a more youthful look.

Dermal fillers can be used to treat various facial areas, including lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jawlines. A full facial assessment will identify where best to place filler to improve your areas of concern.

The initial injections can be painful, but the product contains local anaesthetic, so the tissues begin to numb quickly once treatment starts. We can offer dental nerve blocks to fully numb some areas if required. A topical numbing cream can be applied before the procedure to enhance comfort.

The duration of dermal fillers varies based on the type of filler used and the treated area, but they typically last between 6 months to 2 years before gradually being absorbed by the body. Generally the type of filler we use will last up to 12 months.

Skin boosters aim to improve skin quality by hydrating and rejuvenating the skin’s texture using microinjections, while dermal fillers focus on adding volume and reshaping facial contours by injecting substances to specific areas.

What is the difference between the products on offer?

Profhilo, Sunekos and Rejuran all enhance skin quality, yet each offers a different type of rejuvenation. Profhilo provides deep hydration and a radiant lift, Sunekos targets fine lines and collagen support, and Rejuran focuses on tissue repair, redness/darkness reduction and overall skin resilience.”

You may notice initial improvements in skin texture and hydration shortly after treatment. However, the full effects often become apparent after a few weeks. Results can last for several months, but maintenance sessions may be needed to prolong the benefits.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during these injectables. A topical numbing cream can be applied before the procedure to enhance comfort.

They are are commonly used on the face, neck, hands, and décolletage to address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and dehydration.

All of these products will require multiple sessions and this varies depending on the product. We will advise the best regimen to follow to get the ideal outcome.
