In order to assess which treatment is right for you, during your consultation I will take the time to understand what you’re looking for and discuss a treatment plan. Depending on this, one treatment session can take around 30 minutes.

It’s all about still looking like you – whether you’re smiling, laughing or frowning. During your consultation, I will assess your face whilst it’s still (static) and moving (dynamic) with the aim of giving you a result that looks and feels natural.

Many of the products contain Lidocaine, which is a mild local anaesthetic that helps to numb the area of injection.

With the possibility of minimal downtime, you can get back to doing the things you love on the following day, depending on the treatment chosen.

I advise avoiding things like wearing makeup on the treated areas, exercise, extended periods in the sun, saunas, ultraviolet (UV) rays or very cold temperatures immediately following your treatment.

Juvéderm® is the world’s leading hyaluronic acid (HA) or HA facial filler. HA binds to water in your skin which may smooth lines and wrinkles, add volume and enhance or define facial features. Juvéderm® has the ability to integrate with your own facial tissue, to help achieve natural looking results.

Each Juvéderm® facial filler is designed for a particular purpose, whether it’s to treat fine or deep lines/folds, restore facial volume for a lifting effect, or reshape and redefine the lips.

During your consultation, I will ask about your medical history to determine if the treatment is suitable. I always give a cooling off period to allow you to determine if the treatment is right for you. If you choose to go ahead, you will make an additional appointment and depending on what the treatment plan includes, the treatment session can take around 30 minutes.

Juvéderm® facial fillers are proven to give the longest-lasting results of any hyaluronic acid facial filler on the market, with results lasting 9–24 months, depending on the chosen product and treated area. Other dermal fillers are also used in the clinic.

Here’s how long specific results typically last:

• Plumped and smoothed lips last up to 12 months
• Volumised and lifted cheeks can last up to 24 months
• Results are visible shortly after treatment

When you have a treatment with facial fillers, you can expect to see your desired changes immediately. In the long run, treatments with facial fillers can be an effective way to reduce the signs of ageing that may result from loss of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin.

Dermal fillers blend with the tissue under the skin for natural looking and feeling results.

After a dermal filler treatment some patients can experience side effects, these may include: temporary swelling, redness, itching, pain, tingling or numbness, firmness or small bumps, bruising and dis-colouration. These reactions may occur immediately or may be delayed but usually resolve within a few days.

I will discuss with you if there are other treatments you should use when creating your personalised treatment plan.
