FAQs
What is Botox, and how does it work?
Botox is a non-surgical treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting and smoothing out the skin’s surface for a more youthful appearance. Results typically last 3-6 months.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, dermal fillers are safe when administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner. We use high-quality, CE-approved fillers that are exclusively purchased from UK pharmacies designed to enhance facial volume and smooth out wrinkles. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks, which will be discussed during your consultation.
What can I expect after an AW3 Laser treatment?
AW3 Laser treatments are minimally invasive, and you can expect some redness or mild swelling post-treatment, which typically subsides within a few hours. Depending on the treatment area, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. Aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure the best outcome.
How long does a PDO thread lift last?
A PDO thread lift can last anywhere from 12-18 months, depending on factors like skin type, age, and lifestyle. Over time, the threads dissolve and stimulate collagen production, which helps maintain a lifted and youthful appearance.
How do fat-dissolving injections work?
Fat-dissolving injections contain substances that break down fat cells in targeted areas. These injections are commonly used for stubborn fat areas like the chin, abdomen, or thighs. Results can take several weeks to become noticeable, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
Is sclerotherapy painful?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into veins to cause them to collapse and fade. Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, with only slight stinging or a pinprick sensation. After treatment, you may experience some bruising or swelling, but this typically resolves within a few days.
What is a vampire facial (PRP)?
A Vampire Facial, or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, uses your own blood to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. The PRP is extracted, concentrated, and then re-injected into your skin to improve texture, tone, and elasticity. It’s a natural, non-invasive way to rejuvenate your skin.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Typically, 3-6 sessions of microneedling are recommended for optimal results. Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart, and the treatment works by stimulating collagen production, helping with skin texture, scarring, and overall rejuvenation.
What is the recovery time after a chemical peel?
The recovery time after a chemical peel depends on the depth of the peel. For superficial peels, you may experience some redness and mild peeling for a few days. Deeper peels may involve more noticeable peeling and longer recovery times. Your practitioner will guide you on aftercare to promote healing and achieve the best results.
What is BB Glow?
BB Glow is a semi-permanent treatment that gives your skin a flawless, glowing complexion by using a special serum applied to the skin through microneedling. It helps even out skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and provide a radiant look with no need for makeup.
Is LED light therapy safe?
Yes, LED light therapy is a non-invasive and safe treatment for all skin types. It uses different wavelengths of light to address a variety of skin concerns, such as acne, ageing, and pigmentation. There is no downtime, and it’s suitable for regular use as part of a skin care routine.
What is dermaplaning, and who is it suitable for?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a specialised blade. It’s suitable for most skin types and helps promote a smoother, glowing complexion. Dermaplaning is ideal for those looking to improve their skin texture and achieve a flawless makeup application.
