FAQ'S

Biotin Hair Growth Injections

Biotin injections are used to aid hair growth. Dry hair, thinning hair and hair loss are more common than you think and many suffer with the problem. Do not panic! Biotin injections help to repair and strengthen your hair from the inside out.

The condition of our hair reflects our inner health. Fine, dry and hair loss can all be signs of a Biotin deficiency. Biotin can be sourced from food however the biotin from food can be destroyed by the gut and not allowing your body to fully absorb the biotin levels your body needs.

Biotin injections are a single injection administered at regular intervals.

Biotin strengthens keratin. Keratin is a protein found in the hair, nails and skin. Keratin is a vital component in keeping hair full, thick and healthy.

Biotin increases the elasticity within hair follicles – meaning it stops the hair from breaking easily and keeping the follicle nice and strong.

The main signs are as follows:

  • Loss of hair
  • Hair breaking & snapping with ease
  • Hair appearing dull
  • Hair thinning

 

Biotin can be combined with other vitamins to get full benefits.

  • Aids hair growth
  • Promotes thicker stronger hair
  • Strengthens hair, nails & skin
  • Stops your hair from snapping/breaking when brushing
  • If can increase metabolism
  • Improves blood glucose levels

Dermal Fillers

I specialise in dermal cosmetic treatments and use a wide range of techniques in order to give my client’s what they are hoping to achieve. Some of the most popular filler services are as follows:

  • Lip Augmentation
  • Facial Profiling
  • Non Surgical liquid rhinoplasty
  • Tear Trough.

Dermal fillers are used to create volume, shape and to enhance areas of the face. Dermal fillers give you the opportunity to change what you desire without the need for surgery. The outcome when using filler should be one that is youthful, smooth and adding just the right amount of volume where needed.

When creating volume it prevents certain areas of your face from creating wrinkles and fine lines, giving you that sought after rejuvenated appearance.

Dermal fillers are non-invasive, the treatment is very mild when it comes to pain and is super quick. Most finish the appointment by saying “that wasn’t at all bad”.

Various brands are each suited for a different purpose.

We use the following:

  • Revolax
  • Teoysol redensity 2
  • Ouye

Prices for dermal filler vary depending on the areas, and how much is needed. Please see our price list.

Dermal fillers are not permanent and do dissolve over time. How long your filler will last varies on multiple different factors – the filler used, how much used, where the filler was injected etc.

Filler will therefore last on individuals between 6-24 months. When you are happy with the overall look, 12 months is considered the perfect time for a filler review.

For most treatments, every 12 months is considered optimal, as filler can remain, although it appears that it has gone. In these cases, it may be necessary to dissolve lingering filler material with hyaluronidase before a fresh application.

Dermal filler injections can cause the following:

  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Tenderness
  • Bruising.

 

The above effects are minimal and will subside in the most part within the following 48 hours.

It is recommended you refrain from touching the injected area till it is fully healed. To aid swelling you may use a cold compress and should avoid exercise, sauna, steam and sun. Arnica cream is recommended to aid bruising if bruising does occur. SPF after treatment is also recommended.

Yes I do! Facial contouring packages are available to be used across cheek, chin, jaw & lips (please note minimum of 3ml to be used for jawline anything less you will unfortunately not see much of a difference)

The prices of the packages are as follows:

2.2ml – £195
3.3ml – £265
4.4ml – £345
5.5ml – £415

To help you understand what package may suit you I am happy to offer free consultations.

Skin Boosters

Skin boosters are injectables that improve skin texture, elasticity, hydration and overall appearance. Treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a soft, gel-like substance under the skin, which improves the skin’s elasticity, firmness and radiance giving an overall skin quality.

  • Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
  • Healthier skin tone
  • Better hydration
  • Firmer skin texture and tone
  • Improved skin elasticity
  • Reduced dry patches

We recommend 3 sessions across 3 months initially then a booster once every 6 months

Anti Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle injections are fast becoming one of the hottest aesthetics treatments available. Anti-wrinkle injections are a safe and effective way to eliminate unwanted facial lines and deep wrinkles. They work to relax the facial muscles making those prominent lines less visible. The appearance as a result is one that is softer, smooth and a more youthful appearance.

Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the muscles in the area you are wanting to focus on which in turn blocks your nerves and muscle signal. The nerve signals for the muscles to contract, however with the muscles no longer contracting it results in the facial muscles leaving fewer lines and wrinkles.

You may have the following areas treated with anti-wrinkle:

  • Besides the eyes (commonly known as crows feet)
  • Forehead
  • Frown lines
  • Eyebrows
  • Under eye
  • Nose (mini tip lift)
  • Smokers line (above lip)
  • Cupids bow (lip flip)
  • Bunny Line (top of the eye)
  • Jaw (teeth grinding & facial slimming)
  • Chin (dimple chin)
  • Side or mouth (lift downward smile)
  • Underarms (excess sweating)

 

You can expect to see results within 5-10 days, which typically can last for anything between 3-6 months. Over time anti wrinkle dissolves – meaning the results will wear off after this time. A top up is recommended to maintain the results.

  • After the treatment you must stay upright and not facing down or laying flat for 4 hours.
  • Make sure to not touch the area for 4 hours.
  • No make up or creams
  • Nothing that will cause you to sweat for 24 hours such as gym, Sunbed, saunas or steam rooms.

our qualified Aesthetics Practitioners can advise you on consultation on what treatments will best suit you to meet your desired outcome.

Fat Dissolving

Fat dissolving injections are designed to eliminate areas of unwanted body fat. These injections are extremely effective because they attack the fat deposit breaking down the cells and removing the acids. This is then deposited naturally from fluid through the liver.

This injectable treatment is a non-surgical treatment that will help you aid you to shift unwanted stubborn body fat.

When the fat dissolving solution is injected into the areas you wish to target, it effectively breaks down the fat cells in that area. Over the following weeks, your body’s natural lymphatic system eliminated the fat cells by flushing them out of the body.

This treatment unlike other quick fixes have long lasting results when maintaining a healthy lifestyle, diet and regular exercise.

Fat dissolving injections have the ability to shape and contour the body.

Fat dissolving injections can be used on multiple areas of the body. You can treat small areas of unwanted pockets of fat such as the chin or love handles. Most areas of the body can be treated to include the following:

  • Knees
  • Bum cheeks
  • Below bum
  • Hips/love handles
  • Stomach
  • Chest
  • Legs

 

If you have a stubborn area that you are struggling to shift, do get in touch and find out if this area can be treated.

The number of injections in the area that you will require is very much dependant on the area we are treating and the size of the area.

Injections should be 2-4 weeks apart.

You will start to begin noticing results after the first one or two treatments. However, some more stubborn areas may require up to 8 sessions. The number of sessions is tailored to the individual.

Fat injections are designed to liquify fat deposit cells, it is therefore one of the most effective ways to permanently remove stubborn fatty deposits. As mentioned previously it is however important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet to maintain the longevity of the treatment. If so, you can expect the treatment results to last in

It is quite common for the area to become swollen. This side effect can remain for up to two weeks post treatment – don’t panic, this is absolutely normal.

Other common side effects include but are not limited to the following:

  • Redness
  • Itchiness
  • Tenderness
  • Numbness
  • Bruising (arnica cream can be used to help with this)

 

If symptoms persist, you can use an ice pack to reduce swelling, take paracetamol and you may also massage the treated area (only once 12 hours have passed – this will encourage lymphatic drainage).

It is important to note that you cannot undertake any exercise or use any sunbeds for the first 24 hours post treatment.
