CONDITIONS
Acne
Acne is a skin condition that can affect adults as well, not just teenagers. Acne can vary in severity and in some cases can scar the skin if left untreated. Effective, non-invasive treatments are available at Dr Victoria Clinic to help heal inflamed skin, reduce pimples, spots and prevent them from returning.
Acne Scarring
Acne scarring is caused by severe acne that is left untreated. Some cases of acne can leave you with acne scars which appear as depressed hollows or holes in your skin known as atrophic scars, or raised scars known as hypertrophic scarring. Redness and other discolouration from acne can also remain for a few months, but usually fades on its own.
Sagging Arm Skin
Sagging arm skin can occur because skin loses elasticity as you age. Loose skin around the arm can be referred to as ‘bingo wings’ or ‘bat wings’. Sagging arm skin after weight loss can also be troublesome to tackle.
Brow Droop
Brow ptosis or droop of the eyebrow is a common sign of ageing process as skin loses that plump, firm appearance. This can easily be treated by Dr Victoria.
Bruxism
Subconscious excessive teeth grinding, or bruxism that can cause you discomfort can be treated at Dr Victoria Clinic. Bruxism can occur when you’re awake or asleep so you may not even be aware of the disorder. However, some people can suffer from jaw disorders, severe headaches and damaged teeth if left untreated.
Cellulite
Cellulite is a very common, harmless skin condition that causes lumpy, dimpled like skin flesh mainly in the buttocks, abdomen and thighs area. Cellulite can affect both male and females, but is more common in females due to the different distributions of fat, muscle and connective tissue.
Dark Circles
Dark circles or bags under the eyes can make you look older and tired. No matter how much sleep you get or how much concealer you apply, sometimes the dark circles under your eyes seem permanent and difficult to hide and get rid of.
Double Chin
Double chin is a common condition where a layer of fat forms below your chin. A double chin can be associated with weight gain, however, you don’t have to be overweight to get one.
Excessive Sweating
Excessive Sweating medically known as Hyperhidrosis, can have a major effect on your lifestyle if untreated. Although sweating is your body’s natural response to heat, hypersensitivity of the glands can produce excessive underarm, hand, face or feet sweating.
Excessive Hair Growth
Hirsutism is known as excessive hair growth. Where women start getting thick, dark hair on their face, neck, chest, tummy and lower back, so mostly in areas where there would be none or minimal hair growth.
Facial Volume Loss
A loss in facial volume tends to result in sagging skin, flattening of cheeks and loss of radiance in your skin tone. These structural changes in the deeper levels of the skin also contribute to a tired and worn-out appearance.
Facial Wrinkles
Facial Wrinkles are shallow folds caused by lax, sagging skin and are associated with the earliest signs of ageing or skin damage. Wrinkles that form around the eye are known as crow’s feet or decolletage fine lines.
Hair Loss
Hair loss is also known as alopecia or baldness. Hair loss can affect your entire body. Anyone can experience hair loss, but it’s more common in males.
Jowls
The term ‘Jowling’ is often used to describe sagging skin towards the lower jawline either side of the mouth. Almost everyone develops jowls as they age.
Lip Lines
Lip lines, lipstick lines, smoker’s lines- there are many names for those pesky, vertical wrinkles that appear above and around your pout. They come in all shapes and sizes but one thing remains the same- everyone wants to get rid of them!
Lip Dehydration
Thin lips can be completely natural but they can also be a sign of ageing. If you’ve noticed your lips getting thinner and losing their full, plump look, it’s probably as a result of a loss of collagen and a tiring of the muscles around the mouth as we get older.
Labial Sagging
Labial sagging also know as labial hypertrophy describes the enlargement of the vaginal lips. It can affect both sets of labia, but is more likely to affect the labia minora, prominent inner lips, than labia majora the outer lips. The size and shape of people’s genitals vary significantly from person-to-person. Having asymmetrical inner lips is common but it is also normal for each side to have it’s own shape.
Leg Veins
Visible leg veins medically known as varicose veins, thread veins or spider veins are swollen and enlarged veins which usually occur on the legs and feet. They may be blue or dark purple and are often lumpy, bulging or twisted in appearance.
Lower Face Wrinkles
Some wrinkles can become deep crevices or furrows and can become especially prevalent around the mouth and neck, known as marionette lines or nasolabial folds. Marionette lines around your mouth can change your facial expression and sometimes make you look unhappy when you’re not. Nasolabial lines commonly known as smile lines or laugh lines are the lines which run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Nail Fungus
Fungal nail infections can be stubborn to treat, unsightly, embarrassing and are very common. They are not serious but they can sometimes take a long time to treat if not done properly. Fungal infections usually affect your toenails, but you can get them on your fingernails too.
