Medical Information

What Are Aesthetic Concerns?

Aesthetic concerns are skin, hair, or appearance-related issues that may not pose a direct medical risk but can significantly affect self-confidence and quality of life. These can include uneven skin tone, pigmentation, fine lines, volume loss, hair thinning, and textural irregularities. At Velantis, we address these concerns with safe, evidence-based treatments performed under medical supervision—ensuring visible results without compromising skin health.

Medical Definition

In dermatology, aesthetic concerns refer to cosmetic issues related to skin quality, colour, elasticity, and volume that can result from ageing, sun exposure, genetics, or environmental factors. While not inherently harmful, they can be associated with underlying skin health changes that benefit from professional evaluation and treatment.

  • Common concerns: pigmentation, melasma, fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, acne scars, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, under-eye hollows, and hair thinning.
  • Contributing factors: UV damage, oxidative stress, lifestyle habits, hormonal changes, and ageing-related collagen decline.
  • Many aesthetic concerns can be improved or prevented with early intervention and a personalised skin health plan.
  • Safe treatment requires proper diagnosis to choose methods suited to skin type and concern severity.
