Your comfort is my number one priority, I will work as quickly and gently as possible. I understand procedures with needles can be very uncomfortable for some of my clients, so feel free to bring headphones to listen to your favourite music or podcast, please let me know in advance if you need to bring a support person to your appointment. Please be aware that a women’s menstrual cycle can play a role in her pain perception, so I recommend coming in the first two weeks of your cycle for your treatments. Anaesthetic cream and a stress ball can be used to help reduce pain during the treatment.
-
Please follow your aftercare instructions and get in touch anytime if you have any unexpected reaction or concerns. The first few days you may experience some swelling and bruising, be patient and allow time for your treatment to settle. I am available to see you two weeks post your treatment, for a free consultation to review and discuss your results with you.
Enjoy your results and rebook for your next treatment as our non-surgical treatments are not permanent, so maintenance treatments are required for ongoing benefits.

What is this treatment? This treatment uses a high concentration and pure hyaluronic acid, which when non surgically placed into the skin, disperses through the skin layers over a 4-week period, stimulating collagen and elastin production and deeply hydrating the skin. As we age, our natural collagen and elastin production decreases causing our skin to lose it’s composition and firmness, bioremodelling allows the underlying skin cells to remodel sagging and deteriorating tissue.
Who is suitable for this treatment? A consultation will be required to assess your overall health and expectations. This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, has any recent/active infections or skin inflammation, has had recent surgery, suffers from any anticoagulant or autoimmune conditions.
How many treatments do I need? For expected outcomes and results, an initial 2-3 treatments are recommended 1 month apart. Thereafter, it is recommended to continue one maintenance treatment every 6 months to maintain optimal results.
What is the difference between this treatment and volume treatments? They are both made up of a naturally occurring substance in our body called hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid differs in its composition and dosing between the products resulting in varying outcomes. Collagen boosting and hydrating treatments do not result in added volume making it somewhat different from dermal fillers, but instead it provides intense hydration with hyaluronic acid for an improvement in skin health and texture.

-
What are PDO Threads and how do they work? Polydioxanone threads are made up of a dissolvable suture attached to a needle which introduces the thread into the dermal layer of the skin. With the introduction of the PDO thread an inflammatory healing response occurs, increasing collagen and elastin in the skin. This supports and thickens the structure of the skin, resulting in a tightening effect and the improvement of tone and texture of the skin.
Who is suitable for the treatment? A consultation will be required to assess your overall health and expectations. The best candidates for this treatment are healthy individuals aged between 25-55 years old as ageing begins to occur and collagen synthesis is still present. This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, with a history of suture rejection, has any active infection or skin inflammation, has had recent surgery, suffers from any anticoagulant or autoimmune conditions.
Is this treatment painful? This treatment is mostly well tolerated, there is some areas of the face which may be more painful than other areas to have treated, and needle fatigue can occur towards the end of the treatment. Pain tolerance is individual and treating small areas during one session will improve the comfort of this treatment
Is there any downtime? Yes, please don’t plan this treatment 2 weeks before any important events as bruising may last up to 2 weeks post treatment if it is to occur. It is important to keep the area make up free and clean for 24 hours. Swelling, bruising and tenderness can be managed with paracetamol, arnica, and ice packs.
How many PDO threads will I need? An individual consultation and face assessment will be required to determine how many threads will be needed as this will vary with each individual. The skin health, areas treated and desired results will be factors which will effect how many PDO threads your nurse will recommend.
