Dr Aarti Narayan-Denning is a fully registered GP and Aesthetic
Doctor in Aesthetic Medicine. She carries out all our injectable
treatments including wrinkle relaxing injections and dermal fillers. She is Board Certified by
the The American Academy Of Aesthetic Medicine, and is an Assistant
Trainer for the their UK chapter.
She commenced her training in non-surgical cosmetic treatments in
2009, starting with wrinkle relaxing injections, dermal fillers and peels. She then went on to
work with National cosmetic treatment provider Cosmedoctor between 2010
and 2012.
From 2012 she carried out medical cosmetic treatments and consultations for Evolutions in Winchester until December 2015.
She also consults weekly at Changes Clinic in Portsmouth.
Beyond the standard injectables such as wrinkle relaxing injections and dermal fillers,
Aarti is adept in the full spectrum of non-surgical cosmetic treatments,
such as [Treatment name redacted] therapy, thread lift (PDO and Silhouette
Soft) procedures and intralipotherapy (fat removal injections).
She performs a Specialist Aesthetic assessment of face structure and
aging patterns to determine the combination of treatments that will work
best for each patient. Her aesthetic approach is based on multicultural
beauty “Phi” analysis, which ensures that treatments are based on each
patient’s face, and avoids the distorted results that occur when people
treat “just the nose to mouth line” or “just the top lip”.
She is trained to assess skin lesions such as moles, skin tags, thread
veins and manage appropriately or advise on onward referral to a
specialist. She attends regular CPD (continuing professional development)
training in aesthetics to ensure she is up to date in technical and
pharmacological practice, knowledge base and evidence underpinning the
procedures she carries out.
Dr Narayan-Denning sees herself as a Doctor and GP first and then an
Aesthetic Doctor. She believes in the principle of Primum Non Nocere –
Latin for “First do no Harm” from the Hippocratic Oath, and will readily
inform a patient if she feels their choice of procedure could be unsafe
for them. If she thinks a patient may be unable to perform the
aftercare require, she will suggest they postpone their treatment to a
more suitable time.
Some clients may find this approach dramatically different from the sales-driven pitches they have been used to.
But most well-informed patients, clients “in-the-know”, and expert
aesthetic patients find this a refreshing change, and have remained
delighted customers for years. What age should you be before considering wrinkle relaxing injections, fillers and other cosmetic treatments?
It
is a sad truth that peer pressure and social media often result in
inappropriate requests for cosmetic treatments from young or vulnerable
people, and unfortunately from parents who succumb to their children’s
requests for temporary enhancements like wrinkle relaxing injections and fillers. Agreeing to
these requests may be a short term fix, but often leads to a lifetime of
insecurity and a dysmorphic approach to face, food, figure and
relationships.
In the best interests of patients, Dr. Denning requests that all
patients seeking cosmetic enhancements be at least 21 years of age (and
definitely above 18 for consultation). Of course, this does not apply to
younger patients with extenuating circumstances, or those scars and
injuries who wish to seek advice, preferably with the support of their
families.
