It is no secret that at Fiore Aesthetics, we proudly support the LGBTQ+ community and offer beauty and maintenance treatments for all genders.
Why? Because we care, and because we understand that transitioning is a deeply personal process that often involves aligning one’s physical appearance with one’s gender identity.
While many transgender individuals choose surgical procedures as part of their transition, non-surgical treatments can play an essential role before, during, or after this process. These treatments offer subtle, customisable enhancements that allow patients to gradually adjust their appearance in a way that feels safe and affirming, especially as their personal sense of identity continues to evolve.
In the wise words of RuPaul: “When you become the image of your own imagination, it is the most powerful thing you could ever do.”
And since we always aim to educate our patients about the techniques available at our clinic and what will best suit their needs, let’s take a look at some of our most-loved aesthetic treatments tailored to transfeminine and transmasculine individuals throughout their journey.
Our Trans Community Favourites
Dermal Fillers
Probably one of our most popular gender-confirming aesthetic treatments is dermal fillers, and with good reason. These fillers offer a quick and easy way to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Whether you are in the market to reshape your chin, nose, jaw, face, or merely want a little anti-ageing magic, at Fiore Aesthetics, we offer nose fillers, cheek fillers, chin fillers, nasolabial fillers and jaw fillers to help you do just that.
These fillers can help soften masculine, angular features for a traditionally feminine appearance, strengthen them for a more masculine one, or smooth out unwanted lines on your face. According to a 2022 study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, nearly 60% of transfeminine individuals seeking facial feminisation procedures consider dermal fillers as part of their treatment plan due to their accessibility and subtle yet powerful effects.
When it comes to the rich and famous, Nikita Dragun (beauty influencer and YouTuber) has been open about regularly using dermal fillers to enhance her appearance.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Most commonly associated with its anti-aging abilities, an injectable neurotoxin can also be a powerful tool for those undergoing facial gender affirmation. For example, transgender women or non-binary individuals who want a more traditionally feminine appearance can use it to relax the masseter muscles (jaw muscles). This can slim a wider jawline, creating a softer, more heart-shaped face.
Angelica Ross (American actress and businesswoman) has openly shared how anti-wrinkle injections (along with fillers) helped her achieve a softer, more feminine look. And that is what we are all about. Our aim is to help you feel joy every time you look in the mirror.
Laser Skin Resurfacing And Chemical Peels
Even though hormone therapy can bring beautiful changes, it can also affect your skin’s overall texture and pigmentation. Unfortunately, it can cause acne depending on the hormones involved. Testosterone and other androgens, for example, often increase oil production, leading to acne. Especially in treatments like those for transgender men. Whereas oestrogen and progesterone usually help reduce acne, however, imbalances can still cause breakouts.
And sadly, breakouts can lead to pigmentation or acne scarring. According to statistics, approximately 20% to 50% of people who have had acne develop some form of acne scar. Therefore, at Fiore Aesthetics, we not only want to help you reshape your features but also love the skin you are in. That is where our laser treatments and chemical peels come in. They are wonderful options for improving acne scars or uneven skin tone, offering just another way we aim to help you feel more at home in your own reflection.
To give you an idea of what treatments are all about, fractional lasers stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce fine lines. That is why they are so effective in diminishing acne scars. Similarly, chemical peels remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath.
IPL Hair Removal
It goes without saying that hair growth patterns differ significantly between assigned sexes at birth. And for many transgender individuals, unwanted facial or body hair can cause distress. In fact, here are the stats once more for reference. A 2021 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that over 80% of transgender women experience facial hair-related dysphoria, with hair removal being one of the most commonly sought non-surgical treatments.
Additionally, Caroline Cossey, also known as Tula (a transgender model), advocates for laser hair removal to maintain a polished look. Therefore, if unwanted hair is giving you stress, our Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal offers a non-invasive solution for reducing unwanted hair with remarkable precision and efficiency.
This treatment uses broad-spectrum light, which means it targets the pigment in your hair follicles, thus effectively destroying it and significantly slowing or, in some cases, halting hair growth across all areas of the body.
Here are the numbers. Multiple studies have actually shown that IPL can reduce hair growth by up to 70% to 90% after a full course of treatments. Need we even mention that IPL hair removal helps reduce the need for constant shaving or waxing, too? Because it does, and it also supports a smoother, more affirming appearance. Jazz Jennings has shared that laser hair removal was a significant part of her gender affirmation journey.
Skin Tightening And Body Contouring Treatments
Studies show that approximately 25 to 30% of transgender individuals choose non-surgical body contouring treatments to help them feel more at home in their bodies. This may be partly because hormone therapy often affects skin texture and elasticity, or simply because whether we are male, female, transgender, or non-binary, all of us age! And ageing skin means a decline in our body’s natural collagen and elastin production (two proteins that help keep our skin firm and youthful).
And many patients see up to a 70% improvement in skin firmness, all while enjoying minimal downtime and a low risk of complications, thanks to body and skin tightening treatments.
