How do I start?
Book a free consultation. We assess suitability, discuss options, timelines, aftercare, and costs. If you wish to proceed, a £150 deposit secures your treatment date.
Do I need a patch test for CO2 Laser?
Yes. CO2 requires a patch test and assessment before treatment. This is included at no cost.
Do anti-wrinkle injections need a prescription?
Yes. A short face to face consultation is required so a prescriber can issue a prescription and confirm the plan.
Will my results look natural?
Our approach is conservative and personalised. We focus on refinement, balance, and skin quality rather than overfilling.
How much downtime should I expect?
It varies by treatment and settings. CO2 has visible redness and peeling for several days. RF microneedling and peels usually have lighter redness or flaking. Injectable treatments can cause short-lived swelling or bruising. Your plan will include realistic timelines.
Does it hurt?
Comfort measures are used. Topical numbing is common for laser and RF microneedling. Fillers, threads, and biostimulators may include local anaesthetic as appropriate.
Can treatments be combined?
Often yes, either in one visit or as a staged plan. Examples include CO2 with biostimulation in a program, or fillers combined with anti-wrinkle injections. Combinations are chosen only when safe and suitable.
Who performs the treatment?
A qualified medical professional with 18+ years experience and advanced training performs or oversees your procedure. Safety protocols and single-use sterile supplies are standard.
What should I avoid before treatment?
Please tell us about all medications and supplements. We may advise pausing active skincare, avoiding sunbeds and fake tan, and delaying treatment if you have active infection, cold sores, or recent photosensitising treatments. Full guidance is given at consultation.
What aftercare will I receive?
You receive printed instructions and product guidance. For CO2 you receive a post-treatment skincare kit. We check in during healing and remain available until full recovery.
How long do results last?
Longevity depends on the treatment, area, and your skin. Some results are visible quickly while collagen remodeling develops over weeks. We will explain expected timelines for your specific plan.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Suitability is assessed individually. Parameters and product choice are adjusted to your skin type and indication. If something is not appropriate, we will suggest an alternative.
Can I have treatment if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Most aesthetic procedures and products are not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
What are the risks or side effects?
Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, flaking, or bruising. Less common risks depend on the procedure and will be discussed in consent. We practice careful planning and sterile technique to minimise risk.
How do pricing, deposits, and offers work?
All prices are listed on the Prices page. After your free consultation, the deposit is £50 for other treatments and £150 for CO2 laser. You will receive a summary of your plan and pre-visit guidance. Rescheduling is possible with notice.
