The procedures are virtually painless for most clients. Botox and Restylane are given by small injections. During laser treatments some clients may feel slight tingling or stinging. A built in cooling system will reduce this.

Anaesthetic creams can be used for sensitive areas before treatment, alternatively a local anaesthetic injection can be given if prefered.

This will depend on the treatment required and the size of the area being treated. Most treatments take 15-30 minutes. Some procedures require a course of 3-6 treatments to achieve the best results.

Most of our procedures do not require any "down time", but some redness and puffiness can occur. This usually subsides within hours, but may last several days with some types of treatment.

During your consultation, you will have the chance to discuss what you can expect, and be shown some before and after pictures that are relevant to your planned treatment.

We aim to tailor each treatment to your individual needs, and costs do vary. Your specific costs will be discussed with you at your initial consultation, once your treatment has been planned.

After the treatment, there may be slight swelling and small red marks from the injections, this usually disappears over a few hours.

Reactions are very rare, and usually temporary in nature. There is sometimes a feeling of lumpiness at the injection site, which will disappear over a few days, but may sometimes take a bit longer.

This will vary depending on what treatment you have done, and will also depend on how well you look after your skin. For muscle relaxing treatments usually 3-4 months. Dermal filler treatments 6-9 months. The effects of many of the laser treatments are permanent.

Don't smoke.

Eat a healthy diet, ensuring that you eat 5 portions a day of fruit and vegetables.

Drink plenty of water.

Keep the skin moisturised, and clean, with a good skin care regime.
