I’ve produced this general Questions and Answers page because there are questions I always get asked and whilst every clinic visit is a personal journey between us, hopefully some of the questions you may have can be answered here, but as always please feel free to contact me to discuss before hand or at your personal consultation
I’ve also produced a Treatments Aftercare page that has more information upon it
What is Botox®?
The Botulinum toxin, is a naturally occurring protein that is produced by the bacterium “Clostridium Botulinum” and it is this toxin that is injected to block the transition of chemical signals sent from the nerve that cause a muscle to contract
What is Dermal Filler?
Dermal Filler is a “Hyaluronic Acid Gel” injected into your skin or lips to help improve the shape, the proportional look and any lines, shadows or wrinkles as part of the treatments
Are the procedures safe?
As with any medical procedure there carries a risk, however with my medical background I’m aware of these risks and at all times follow all the guidelines I’ve learnt in my Nursing career
Are you registered with any medical body?
I am fully trained and certified NMC registered medical professional
Are you insured?
Yes, I am fully insured to carry out the treatments and procedures listed on my site
How long do results take to show?
With “Botox®”, first off don’t worry about not seeing any effects immediately after the treatment or in the first few days after treatment, as it can usually take up to 10 days to start to see any lasting effects and in most cases up to 14 days to see the full effect of any treatment
With “Dermal Fillers”, they show an immediate effect after the treatment procedure
How long do treatments last?
With Botox® you should be aware that the usual time for treatment results to start to wear off is after 3-4 months or sometimes more, so to continue to have the benefits of the Botox® treatment further treatment processes are possible at this time
With Dermal Fillers the results generally last around 6-18 months and in certain cases longer dependant on the individual
If you have any questions not answered in the above, please contact me and I’ll gladly answer them and give your reassurance
