All FAQs

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the skin, which helps retain moisture and add fullness.

The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your metabolism. Most fillers last between 6 to 18 months, though some may last longer.

Yes, dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by a trained and qualified professional. Side effects are rare but can include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.

Most dermal filler treatments involve minimal discomfort. Many fillers contain a numbing agent (lidocaine) to reduce pain during the procedure. A topical numbing cream can also be applied to make the experience more comfortable.

A typical dermal filler session lasts about 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the amount of filler needed.

Results are usually visible immediately after treatment. However, it may take a few days for swelling to subside and for the final results to fully appear.

We recommend avoiding blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for 24-48 hours before treatment to minimise the risk of bruising. It’s also best to come to your appointment with clean skin and no makeup.

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site is common and typically subsides within a few days. You can resume most activities right away, but we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and excessive heat (like saunas) for 24-48 hours after the treatment.

Yes, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you’re unsatisfied with the results. This process can restore your appearance to its pre-treatment state.

No, dermal fillers are not permanent. Your body naturally metabolises the filler over time, and the effects will gradually fade. However, you can maintain your results with periodic touch-up treatments.

Dermal fillers are ideal for individuals looking to enhance their facial contours, reduce wrinkles, or restore lost volume. However, you should consult with your practitioner to ensure that fillers are the right choice for your specific needs and goals.

While dermal fillers are generally safe, some potential risks include swelling, bruising, redness, infection, or lumps at the injection site. Choosing an experienced provider significantly reduces the risk of complications.

It’s helpful to come prepared with questions and to discuss your aesthetic goals. Be sure to inform your provider of any medications, allergies, or medical conditions you may have, as this will help determine the most suitable treatment plan.

The cost of dermal fillers varies based on the type of filler used, the amount required, and the treatment area. We will provide a personalised quote during your consultation.

Botulinum Toxin, commonly known as Botox, is an injectable treatment used to temporarily relax muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It’s most often used for smoothing forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.

Anti-wrinkle works by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on factors such as the treatment area, the individual’s metabolism, and how often they’ve had anti-wrinkle injections before.

Anti-wrinkle injections involve minimal discomfort. The needles used are very fine, and most people experience only a slight pinch during the treatment. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if desired.

A typical anti-wrinkle treatment session takes about 10-20 minutes, making it a convenient option for a quick, in-office procedure.

Results usually become noticeable within 3 to 5 days after the treatment, with full effects visible within 1 to 2 weeks.

To minimise bruising, avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment. It’s also a good idea to arrive with clean skin, free of makeup.

After your treatment, avoid lying down or bending over for at least 4 hours. You should also avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, intense exercise, and heat exposure (like saunas) for 24 hours to ensure the Anti-wrinkle settles properly.

Side effects from Anti-wrinkle are generally mild and temporary. They can include slight swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, some patients may experience temporary headaches or drooping of the eyelid, which resolves within a few weeks.

Yes, Anti-wrinkle can be safely combined with other treatments like dermal fillers, microneedling, or chemical peels to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your provider can help create a tailored treatment plan.

The amount of Anti-wrinkle needed varies based on the area being treated and the individual’s goals. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your facial muscles and recommend the appropriate dosage.

Good candidates for Anti-wrinkle are individuals who want to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by facial expressions) but still retain natural movement in their face. Your provider will determine if Anti-wrinkle is right for you during your consultation.

The cost of Anti-wrinkle depends on the number of units required and the treatment area. Pricing will be discussed during your consultation, and a personalised quote will be provided.

When performed by a qualified and experienced professional, Anti-wrinkle will not leave you looking frozen. The goal is to relax specific muscles while allowing natural facial expressions. Your practitioner will work with you to achieve subtle, natural-looking results.

Anti-wrinkle requires minimal downtime, and most people can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment. Any minor redness or swelling typically subsides within a few hours.

Fat-dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to break down and eliminate stubborn fat deposits in specific areas of the body. They use a compound like deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells, which the body then naturally eliminates over time.

The active ingredient in fat-dissolving injections, such as deoxycholic acid, breaks down the fat cell membranes in the targeted area. Once the fat cells are destroyed, the body metabolises and naturally removes the fat over the course of several weeks, resulting in a more contoured and slimmer appearance.

Fat-dissolving injections can be used on various areas of the body where stubborn fat tends to accumulate, including:

• Double chin (submental area)
• Bingo wings (upper arms)
• Abdomen (stomach)
• Love handles (flanks)
• Inner and outer thighs
• Bra bulge
• Back fat

The number of sessions required depends on the treatment area and the amount of fat being targeted. Most people need between 2 to 4 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan.

Results from fat-dissolving injections are not immediate. It can take a few weeks to start noticing changes as your body naturally eliminates the broken-down fat cells. Full results are typically visible around 6 to 8 weeks after the final session.

Yes, the results from fat-dissolving injections are considered permanent, as the targeted fat cells are destroyed and cannot regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve your results, as new fat can accumulate in other areas of the body.

Some clients may experience discomfort during the procedure, such as a stinging or burning sensation at the injection site. A local anesthetic or numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort during the treatment.

There is minimal downtime with fat-dissolving injections. You may experience some swelling, redness, or tenderness at the treatment site for a few days to a week. This is a normal part of the process and subsides as your body heals.

Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects are typically mild and temporary, resolving within a few days. In rare cases, clients may experience lumps, numbness, or infection, which will be discussed during your consultation.

Fat-dissolving injections are ideal for individuals who are close to their target weight but have stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. They are not a weight loss solution and are best suited for contouring specific areas of the body.

A typical fat-dissolving injection session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. It’s a quick, non-invasive procedure that can be easily scheduled into your day.

Before your treatment, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) for 24-48 hours to reduce the risk of bruising. It’s also best to come with clean, makeup-free skin if treating the face or chin area.

Yes, fat-dissolving injections can be combined with other body contouring treatments like dermal fillers, skin tightening, or muscle toning treatments to enhance your overall results. Your practitioner will advise you on the best combination for your goals.

The cost of fat-dissolving injections depends on the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and the amount of product needed. Pricing will be discussed during your consultation, where you will receive a personalised treatment plan.

Skin boosters are treatments designed to enhance skin hydration, texture, and elasticity. They involve micro-injections of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain moisture in the skin. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas, skin boosters focus on improving the overall quality and appearance of the skin.

Skin boosters are suitable for both men and women of all skin types, including those with younger or more mature skin. They are particularly beneficial for individuals looking to improve skin structure and texture, such as those with acne scars or sun-damaged skin.

Skin boosters can be used on various body parts, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and even the arms and knees. During your consultation, a treatment plan can be tailored to your specific needs.

While most patients find the treatment to be only mildly uncomfortable, a topical anaesthetic is usually applied beforehand to minimise any discomfort. Some skin boosters also contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that provides additional pain relief during the injections.

You may start to notice improvements shortly after the treatment; however, optimal results typically appear around two weeks after the procedure as the product integrates into the skin.

The duration of results can vary based on factors such as the area treated, the specific product used, and individual skin characteristics. Generally, a course of 2-3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance sessions suggested every 6-8 months to sustain the results.

Common side effects include temporary bruising and swelling at the injection sites. These side effects typically resolve within a few days but can occasionally last up to two weeks. Good aftercare can help minimise these effects.

Post-treatment, avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 hours and refrain from excessive sun exposure or extreme temperatures until any redness or swelling subsides. You may apply a cooling pad to the treated area to reduce swelling.

Pricing can vary based on the specific product and number of sessions. Generally, a course of three treatments can cost around £800, with maintenance sessions recommended thereafter.
