Most dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring acid produced by the skin. The hyaluronic gel re-volumises the skin as well as increasing and maintaining the moisture to help keep the skin smooth and plump.

You may be offered a local anaesthetic cream or injection. The nurse injects the filler in a series of small injections and may massage the area.

The treatment time can vary from 30 minutes to an hour. It may be uncomfortable, but should not be very painful.

The nurse will discuss all potential side effects in detail during the consultation.

The area may be a little swollen, tender and red for 24 hours. For the first two weeks after treatment, it is advisable to avoid facial treatments, as well as saunas, steam rooms or sun bathing/sun beds, to reduce the risk of bruising. Dermal fillers may take up to four weeks to settle, and there may be some lumps noticeable during this time.

Your nurse will provide you with information about aftercare, and advice on how to make contact with the clinic for any queries after your treatment.

The peel breaks up dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, and so removes fine lines, wrinkles and skin blemishes and also is effective for acne scarring, by using a mixture of ingredients that can reach the superficial and middle layers of the skin.

The peel could be an alphahydroxy acid such as glycolic acid, or a polyhydroxy acid such as lactic acid, or a vitamin A derivative such as retinol, or a broad spectrum acid such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA).

The nurse will cleanse your face prior to the treatment, then the peel will be applied. Depending on the type of peel you have, this may need to be neutralised with a specialised solution at the clinic, or left on your skin to self-neutralise later. Your skin will then be treated with a nourishing serum and a moisturiser with SPF. You may feel a slight tingling or warm sensation as the peel is applied to the skin but this does not last long.

Your skin may feel tight post treatment and initially may appear red. Depending on the type of peel product used, peeling may start on day 3 after treatment, and may last for a couple of days.

As it heals, your skin would also be more sensitive to the sun, so you need to use sunscreen for at least a month after treatment.

As we age, it is normal for the skin to become drier, more lined and wrinkled, and less elastic and supple.

Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and that the skin responds by sending inflammatory responses to the treatment area, and increasing the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

This new skin tissue is firmer, smoother, and less lined, and also more even in tone and texture.

During the procedure, your nurse makes small pricks under the skin with a pen-like tool. The pinpricks are so small that you likely won’t notice them after the procedure. Your nurse will move the device evenly across your skin. There is minimal discomfort with this treatment, and numbing cream will be offered prior to the treatment if required.

Production of new collagen can take a few months, so a course of treatments is advisable to see the best results.

The nurse will discuss all potential side effects in detail during the consultation.

The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. You may also notice redness in the treated area for a few hours immediately after treatment.

As we age, our skin’s ability to regenerate slows down, leading to drier, more lined and less supple skin.

During a PRP treatment, I will draw a small sample of your blood, usually from inside your elbow). This sample is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the stem cell and platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells. Once the separation has been completed, the plasma is then injected into your skin and begins to encourage production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This leads to softer, plumper, firmer, smoother and more even-toned skin.

You will have numbing cream applied to your skin to reduce discomfort prior to the treatment, then the injections of your plasma can be carried out. The injections will be sited where your skin requires rejuvenation.You may have microneedling carried out as an additional treatment during or after the injections, to further stimulate collagen production. Results may take a few weeks to show, as the skin renewal cycle can be 6 to 8 weeks.
