Unsure which treatment to choose? Contact our team to discuss your concerns and arrange an appropriate consultation.
Body concerns include a range of aesthetic and physical conditions affecting body contour, skin appearance, hair growth, sweating and muscle comfort.
Common concerns include localised fat, stretch marks, cellulite, excessive sweating, shoulder and trapezius tension, hair loss and visible signs of ageing on the hands.
These concerns may develop due to genetics, hormonal changes, ageing, lifestyle factors or underlying medical conditions.
At Olune Medical, we provide personalised consultations to assess individual concerns and explore suitable treatment options, with a focus on patient safety, realistic expectations and natural-looking results.
Body concerns can develop for several reasons, depending on the specific condition.
Common contributing factors include:
Genetics: Inherited characteristics influence fat distribution, skin elasticity, hair growth patterns and sweating.
Ageing: Changes in collagen, elastin, skin thickness and body composition can affect skin appearance and firmness.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations may influence fat distribution, sweating, hair growth and skin condition.
Weight Fluctuations: Changes in body weight can contribute to localised fat deposits, stretch marks and changes in skin texture.
Pregnancy and Growth: Rapid physical changes can stretch the skin and contribute to stretch mark formation.
Muscle Activity and Posture: Repetitive movements, sustained postures and muscle overactivity may contribute to shoulder and trapezius discomfort.
Medical Conditions: Certain conditions, medications and nutritional deficiencies may contribute to excessive sweating, hair loss or changes in skin appearance.
Environmental Factors: Sun exposure, smoking and other environmental influences can accelerate visible skin ageing, particularly on the hands.
Understanding the underlying cause is important when determining whether aesthetic treatment is appropriate.
Localised fat refers to stubborn pockets of fat that accumulate in specific areas of the body, such as the chin, abdomen, upper arms and thighs.
These deposits may remain noticeable despite maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Fat distribution is influenced by genetics, hormones, age and overall body composition.
Targeted aesthetic treatments may help reduce selected small fat deposits and improve body contour.
Stretch marks, medically known as striae, are lines or streaks that develop when the skin stretches or changes rapidly.
They commonly appear on the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts and upper arms.
New stretch marks may appear red, pink or purple before gradually fading to a lighter or silvery colour.
They develop when rapid skin changes disrupt collagen and elastin fibres. Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, growth spurts, genetics and corticosteroid exposure can contribute.
Selected aesthetic treatments may help improve their texture and reduce their visibility, although complete removal is generally not possible.
Cellulite is a common skin condition characterised by dimpled or uneven skin, often described as having an orange-peel appearance.
It most frequently affects the thighs, buttocks, hips and abdomen.
Cellulite develops when fibrous connective tissue bands pull the skin downwards while underlying fat pushes upwards, creating visible dimpling.
Genetics, hormones, skin thickness, connective tissue structure and ageing influence its appearance.
Specialist aesthetic treatments may help improve skin texture and reduce visible dimpling, although results vary.
Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, occurs when the body produces more sweat than is necessary for temperature regulation.
It commonly affects the underarms, palms, feet and face.
Hyperhidrosis may occur without an identifiable underlying cause or develop in association with medical conditions, medications or hormonal changes.
Excessive sweating can interfere with daily activities, clothing choices and confidence.
Selected treatments, including botulinum toxin injections for appropriate indications, may help temporarily reduce sweat production.
Shoulder and trapezius tension refers to tightness, discomfort or increased muscle activity affecting the upper shoulders and neck.
The trapezius is a large muscle extending across the upper back, shoulders and neck, helping support posture and shoulder movement.
Tension may develop due to prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, stress, muscle overuse or certain musculoskeletal conditions.
Symptoms can include tightness, aching, restricted movement and discomfort around the neck and shoulders.
Management depends on the underlying cause and may include posture adjustments, physiotherapy, targeted exercises or medical assessment.
Selected injectable approaches have been explored for specific muscle-related conditions, but they are not routine treatments for general shoulder tension and require careful clinical assessment.
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, refers to thinning or shedding of hair from the scalp or other areas of the body.
It may develop gradually or occur suddenly, depending on the underlying cause.
Common contributing factors include genetics, hormonal changes, ageing, stress, nutritional deficiencies, medications and certain medical conditions.
Hair loss can affect both men and women and may present as general thinning, a receding hairline or distinct areas of hair loss.
Treatment options depend on the type and cause of hair loss. Selected approaches may aim to support scalp health or improve hair density, although effectiveness varies.
Hand rejuvenation addresses visible changes in the skin and underlying tissues of the hands associated with ageing and environmental exposure.
Common concerns include wrinkles, dryness, thinning skin, pigmentation, loss of volume and increased visibility of veins or tendons.
These changes develop as collagen, elastin and subcutaneous fat gradually decrease with age.
Frequent sun exposure and environmental factors can also contribute to pigmentation and uneven skin texture.
Selected aesthetic treatments may help improve hydration, skin texture, pigmentation or volume, depending on individual needs.
The most suitable approach depends on the underlying concern, treatment area, skin condition and individual goals. Following assessment, options may include:
Fat-dissolving injections: Aim to reduce selected small, localised fat deposits and improve body contour. Suitability depends on the product, treatment area and individual assessment; these are not weight-loss treatments.
Microneedling: Encourages collagen remodelling and may gradually improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks. It may also be considered as an adjunctive approach for selected types of hair loss.
Polynucleotides: May support skin hydration, texture and overall skin quality, particularly for selected hand rejuvenation concerns. Evidence for stretch marks and hair restoration remains limited and varies by formulation.
Specialist cellulite treatments: Target factors contributing to skin dimpling and uneven texture. Results depend on the technique used, and complete or permanent removal of cellulite cannot be guaranteed.
Anti-sweating injections: Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces sweat gland activity and may help manage excessive underarm sweating in suitable individuals. Results are temporary, and repeat treatments may be required.
Trapezius muscle treatments: Selected injectable approaches may reduce muscle activity in specific clinical circumstances. Evidence for treating general shoulder tension is limited, and assessment of the underlying cause is essential.
Hair restoration treatments: Depending on the cause of hair loss, selected medical or specialist treatments may help reduce shedding or improve hair density. Treatment suitability and effectiveness depend on the underlying diagnosis.
Dermal fillers: Selected formulations may restore lost volume in the hands, helping reduce the prominence of visible tendons and veins. Suitability requires careful anatomical and clinical assessment.
Skin boosters: Aim to improve skin hydration and quality, potentially helping soften fine lines and improve the appearance of ageing hands. Product selection depends on the treatment area and individual skin condition.
Chemical peels: Encourage skin surface renewal and may improve selected pigmentation concerns, uneven texture and visible signs of sun damage on the hands.
Your consultation begins with a discussion of your concerns, medical history, previous treatments and desired outcome.
We assess your face at rest and during expression, considering skin quality, facial balance and the underlying cause of your lines. We then explain suitable options, likely limitations and whether a combination of approaches may be helpful.
You will have time to ask questions and consider your choices. A consultation does not mean you need to have treatment.
Treatment choice depends on the factors contributing to your lines. Your consultation may include skincare advice, suitable procedures or a combination of approaches.
Find answers to common questions about consultations for lines and wrinkles, treatment suitability and planning your appointment.
Olune Medical provides consultations for concerns including localised fat, stretch marks, cellulite, excessive sweating, shoulder and trapezius tension, hair loss and visible signs of ageing on the hands. Available treatment options depend on clinical suitability and the services offered.
Selected non-surgical treatments may help reduce small, localised fat deposits in suitable individuals. These treatments are not intended for general weight loss, and results depend on the treatment method, area and individual response.
Stretch marks are a form of scarring and generally cannot be completely removed. Treatments such as microneedling may help improve their appearance and texture, although results vary.
There is no single treatment that reliably eliminates cellulite permanently. Specialist treatments may reduce the appearance of dimpling, but results vary and maintenance may be required.
Treatment options depend on the severity and location of sweating. They may include prescription antiperspirants, iontophoresis, selected medications or botulinum toxin injections. Medical assessment can help determine the most appropriate approach.
Botulinum toxin can reduce muscle activity in selected clinical circumstances, but evidence for treating general shoulder or trapezius tension is limited. It is not a routine first-line treatment, and the underlying cause of discomfort should be assessed before considering injections.
Treatment depends on the cause of hair loss. Established medical options are available for certain conditions, while procedures such as microneedling may be considered in selected cases. A diagnosis is important because not all types of hair loss respond to the same treatment.
Depending on the concern, options may include skincare, sun protection, selected dermal fillers, skin boosters or chemical peels. Treatment suitability depends on whether the main concern is pigmentation, dryness, skin texture or volume loss.
The number of sessions depends on the concern, treatment selected and individual response. Some procedures require multiple appointments, while others may involve fewer sessions or periodic maintenance.
Discomfort varies depending on the procedure and treatment area. Some treatments may cause temporary stinging, tenderness or pressure. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and discuss appropriate comfort measures.
Results vary considerably between treatments. Some improvements may last several months, while others may persist longer. Ageing, lifestyle factors and individual response can influence how long results remain noticeable.
Not all treatments are suitable for every individual. Medical history, medications, pregnancy, breastfeeding, skin conditions and treatment expectations may affect suitability. A consultation is required to determine whether a procedure is appropriate.
Potential side effects depend on the treatment and may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or irritation. Some procedures carry more significant risks. Your practitioner will explain the relevant risks, recovery expectations and aftercare requirements before treatment.
In some cases, different treatments may be combined or scheduled as part of an individualised plan. Suitability depends on the procedures involved, treatment areas and medical history.
The most appropriate treatment depends on your specific concern, medical history, skin condition and desired outcome.
During your consultation at Olune Medical, your practitioner will assess your needs and discuss suitable treatment options, potential benefits and realistic expectations.
Whether you are concerned about localised fat, stretch marks, cellulite, excessive sweating, muscle tension, hair loss or ageing hands, Olune Medical can help you explore suitable treatment options.
Our approach focuses on personalised assessment, patient safety and realistic outcomes.
