How long will each treatment take?
The procedure takes about 10-20 minutes and the results are instant.

What can and can't I do after the treatment?
You can carry on with life as normal as any redness will be concealed using a special concealer that the therapist will apply. You should leave the treated area alone for 48 hours to let it settle. It is advisable not to have a facial or similar treatment that may disturb the products or expose the newly-treated areas to strong sunlight for 2-3days.
-
How long will the treated area last for?
Between 6 and 12 months, depending on areas treated and product used.
-
How often will I need to top up?
Most patients have top-ups when they feel the effect is starting to wear off, ie any time between 6 and 12 months.
-
Are there any side-effects?
Following the treatment there may be some redness and minimal swelling, which normally settles in 1-2 days. Very occascially patients can suffer some bruising at the injection site.
-
Are the injections painful?
The therapist will apply a topical anaesthetic cream to the treatment area to minimise any discomfort.
-
Who is suitable for these treatments?
Almost everyone, except for women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
-
What happens if I do not have a top up?
Correction of the wrinkles and the enhanced lip effect will subside gradually until your skin looks like it did before the treatment.
-
Are there any long term problems?
No, because it is completely natural, and over time it will be completely broken down by the body.
-
Will it affect facial muscle movement?
No, because it is a dermal filler and a natural occuring product already found in our bodies.
