As a dedicated medical professional, I prioritise your well-being. I will carefully assess your needs and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. If I believe a procedure is unnecessary, unsuitable, or excessive, which could result in an unnatural appearance, I will refrain from carrying out the treatment. Your satisfaction and natural looking results are my top priorities.
Face & lip fillers
Discomfort during dermal filler treatments is usually minimal. Fine needles are used to administer the injections, and I also use topical numbing creams to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Generally, results can last between six to twelve months.
Like any medical procedure, dermal fillers carry a slight risk of side effects. Common temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising or mild discomfort at the injection sites. Serious complications are rare but will be discussed during your consultation.
Yes, dermal fillers can often be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as anti wrinkle injections. Combining treatments can provide comprehensive results tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after dermal filler injections. However, some aftercare will need to be followed after the procedure. These include; remaining upright for 3-4 hours after the treatment and for 24 hours avoiding rubbing/touching the area, strenuous exercise, alcohol, extreme exposure to sunlight and wearing makeup. You will be provided with specific post-treatment care instructions to help minimise any downtime.
Yes, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be partially or completely reversed using an enzyme which breaks down Hyaluronic Acid. This allows for adjustments or corrections if necessary.
Anti Wrinkle Injections
The injections are generally well-tolerated and cause minimal discomfort. Some patients may experience mild stinging or a slight pinprick sensation during the procedure.
The duration of the results can vary depending on individual factors, but on average, the effects of anti wrinkle injections typically last between three to four months. Regular maintenance treatments are usually recommended to maintain the desired results.
Side effects are usually minimal and temporary. Some common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, or mild tenderness at the injection sites. Serious complications are rare but will be discussed during your consultation.
Yes, anti wrinkle injections can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation procedures, or laser treatments. Combining treatments can provide comprehensive and more personalised results based on your specific needs and goals.
The recovery time after anti wrinkle injections treatment is typically minimal. Most individuals are able to resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, some aftercare will need to be followed after the procedure. These include; remaining upright for 3-4 hours after the treatment and for 24 hours avoiding rubbing/touching the area, strenuous exercise, alcohol, extreme exposure to sunlight and wearing makeup. You will be provided with specific post-treatment care instructions to help minimise any downtime.
Results from anti wrinkle treatments typically start to become noticeable within a few days, but it can take up to two weeks for the full effects to be seen.
Cryotherapy
The CryoPen is quick, efficient and generally painless, without the need for local anaesthetic.
For most lesions, cryotherapy is a permanent removal. Some lesions are harder to remove than others.
Side effects are usually minimal and temporary. Some common side effects include redness and swelling at the treatment site, mild discomfort during the treatment, blistering or crusting in the treated area or changes in skin colour (either lighter or darker). Serious complications are rare but will be discussed during your consultation.
Occasionally, a blister might form and persist for up to 5 days. Typically, healing will occur from 2-6 weeks, depending on the size and location of the blemish.
Most lesions will respond to a single treatment. However, some deeper lesions may take several treatments to get results.
There are no limitations on activity except to protect the treated area from damage or abrasion.
