Frequently Asked Questions...

No question is a silly question when it comes to researching & gathering information about any treatment you might be considering. Every question is a valid one and helps to ensure you fully understand the treatment/procedure you will consent for, should you go ahead with treatment.

If you don't find the answer to your question below or wish to discuss something more in depth, please get in touch. I'm more than happy to talk things over.

Injectable Treatments

How painful are dermal filler injections?

- This is subjective to each person depending on your own pain threshold.

- We aim to be an gentle as possible & use topical anaesthetic cream to ease initial pain of injection.

- The fillers we use also have anaesthetic properties so should ease the pain during injecting.

What can I expect post injection?

- Tenderness at injection sight.

- Bruising, bleeding, swelling are all common side effects.

- Lumps and bumps while filler is settling within the first 2 weeks.

What if the pain post injection is extreme?

- If pain is persistent & unmanageable with paracetamol please contact us directly.

- If you notice other symptoms, skin discolouration, change in skin temperature, please contact us as this may require further intervention/assessment or treatment.

How regularly can I get my anti wrinkle treatment?

- We will not retreat any sooner than every 12 weeks.

- Overtreatment of the muscles can has adverse effects or cause resistance to the product.

Can I have anti wrinkle & filler treatments on the same day?

-Yes, following a full consultation & assessment, we can safely facilitate doing your treatments on the same day if you wish.

What do anti wrinkle injections do?

- They are a muscle relaxant.

- We inject specifically selected muscles to stop muscle contraction.

-In turn, this reduces the "wrinkle" or fold that appears on our skins surface.

What if my anti wrinkle treatment feels too frozen?

- We aim to discuss your goals and aims at consultation to avoid undesired results.

- If results feel too frozen, unfortunately, there is no way to reverse this and we must let the products wear off over time.

How long after lip dissolving can I have them re-filled?

- We recommend leaving at least 2 weeks after dissolving to refill lips.

I have never had any injectable treatments and don't know what is best for me?

- We offer free, non obligation consultations to discuss your options and help you to understand the best way to achieve your desired results.

Just get in touch, we'd loved to hear from you!

When is the right time to start anti wrinkle treatment?

- The aim of treatment is to prevent the development of fine lines & wrinkles to maintain smooth, youthful skin.

-Starting treatment early as a preventative measure will ensure best results in the long term as wrinkles will not have the chance to develop (I started treatment in my early 20's).

- Generally, the sooner the better- prevention is better than cure!

Anti wrinkle review appointments

Your anti wrinkle results will be at their optimum 2 weeks after initial treatment.

All anti-wrinkle appointments include a review appointment 2-3 weeks post treatment to assess & evaluate your results.

If required & safe to do so, additional doses may be administered at this appointment to reach your desired outcome (this is subjective to each individual patient and is not mandatory).

It is your responsibility to make sure you attend this review appointment no later than 3 weeks after initial treatment as additional doses will not be added any later than this due to potential risks.

If you are happy with your results at your review appointment, adding additional doses will not increase the longevity of your results- it can result in overtreatment/adverse results.

Skin Health Assessment & Consultation

Skin is the largest organ in our body- it is key to look after it every day, not just on the days you come to visit clinic.

To support you on your journey to good skin health, we offer individual skin assessments to identify your concerns & match this with a ZO Skin Health protocol for you to use consistently at home.
