FAQs

The questions I get asked most. If yours is not here, call me on 07897 943164 and ask.

Before your appointment

Do I need a consultation first?

Every appointment includes one. For most treatments we can consult and treat on the same day. For threads, and for anything involving prescription only medicines, the assessment happens before treatment is booked.

How do I know what I need?

You do not have to know. That is my job. Come in, tell me what bothers you when you look in the mirror, and we will work out what is actually causing it.

Is there anything I should avoid beforehand?

Avoid alcohol for twenty four hours, and if it is safe for you to do so, avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil and vitamin E for a few days. They all increase bruising. Do not book treatment in the week before an event.

Can I have treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. I do not treat anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, without exception.

About the treatments

Will it hurt?

Less than most people expect. Numbing cream is used where it helps, and most fillers contain local anaesthetic. Threads are done under local anaesthetic.

Will people be able to tell?

Not if it is done properly. The aim is that people say you look well, not that they ask what you have had done.

How long until I see the result?

Filler is immediate but swollen, and settles at two to four weeks. Anti-wrinkle injections start at day three to five and peak at two weeks. Polynucleotides build over a course.

Can filler be reversed?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler is dissolved with hyaluronidase, which is one of the reasons I use it.

Booking, payment and cancellations

How do I book?

Online through the booking system, any time of day. You can also call me.

Do you take a deposit?

Yes, a deposit secures your appointment and comes off the treatment price on the day.

What if I need to cancel?

Give me at least forty eight hours notice and your deposit moves to your new appointment. Less than that, or a no show, and the deposit is not refundable. It is a single chair, so a late cancellation is a slot nobody else could book.

Do you offer payment plans?

For treatments, no. For training courses, yes, and the deposit terms are on the academy page.
