During your consultation you can expect to discuss in detail medical history, your expectations and treatment goals. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the procedure you’re considering. This initial appointment is crucial, it allows me to assess suitability for treatment while also addressing underlying health concerns if any.

It varies from treatment to treatment, an injectable treatment like Botox may start to show results from a few days but best results are from the 2 week period, some procedures like chemical peels and skin boosters can take up to a month to see best results . This will be discussed in detail at your consultation.

Dermal fillers are more commonly used to volumise, contour and harmonise facial features: they are made of hyaluronic gel which is injected more strategically and deeper to physically support tissue , replenish lost volume and define.

Skin Boosters improve the quality of the skin rather than changing its shape. They are typically made of a very light hyaluronic acid gel and regenerative ingredients like amino acids which gives the skin deep hydration, more radiance and plumpness.

Dermal Fillers and Skin Boosters are often used in conjunction with each other, Dermal Fillers restore underlying support and SkinBoosters improve the skin quality, giving a well rested natural result.

It’s a common misconception that sunscreen is only for sunny holidays, but your skin is exposed to UV damage every single day even in the UK. Even when it’s cloudy and overcast up to 80% of UV rays still penetrate clouds, you don’t feel them but they are still damaging your skin. This is why people still burn on overcast days. Sun damage isn’t just one big event; it builds up silently over time, which can lead to fine lines and loss of elasticity, sunspots and pigmentation, thinner and duller skin and unfortunately, an increased risk of skin cancer. To prevent this, use a spf on a daily basis even in winter.
