  • Absolutely! Our treatments are suitable for all genders and can be adapted to different skin concerns.

  • We accept payment by cash or card.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

  • Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by blocking nerve signals, preventing muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles.  

  • Results typically last up to 6 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and muscle activity. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.

  • You may start noticing improvements within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible after about 10 to 14 days.  It very much depends on the individual so don’t panic if you don’t see results within a week. We have clients who don’t show results until the end of the two week period and this is when we review your results and make any necessary tweaks. We are always available to support you after your treatment with any questions you have.

  • No, when administered correctly, anti-wrinkle injections provide a natural-looking result. Our approach focuses on softening lines while maintaining facial expressions.

  • Discomfort is minimal. The treatment involves very fine needles, and most clients describe the sensation as a small pinch or twitch.

  • Mild side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or small bruises at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days.

  • No, anti-wrinkle injections are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals due to a lack of research on their safety during these periods.

Dermal Fillers

  • Our dermal fillers are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and add volume to the skin. This is why it is great to keep topped up on water before and after your treatment!

  • Dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, type of filler used, and individual factors.

  • Most clients find dermal filler injections tolerable. We use fillers that contain lidocaine (a local anaesthetic), and a numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.

  • Dermal fillers can be used to enhance lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and under-eye hollows. They are also effective for restoring lost facial volume.

  • No, our approach is to enhance your natural features with subtle, balanced results. We aim for a refreshed look rather than an exaggerated appearance.

  • Yes, if needed, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is rarely necessary but provides peace of mind for clients who may wish to reverse their treatment.

  • There is minimal downtime, but mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness can occur. Most side effects resolve within a few days, and makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours.

  • Yes, many clients choose to combine both treatments for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation approach. We can discuss the best options for you during your consultation.

Million Dollar Facial 

  • A luxurious facial that combines exfoliation, dermaplaning, microneedling, lymphatic drainage, and a hydrating mask to deeply cleanse, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin.

  • It helps improve skin tone and texture, boosts collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances product absorption.

  • For best results, we recommend a course of 4-6 treatments carried out  every 4 weeks, depending on your skin concerns.

  • You may experience slight redness for a few hours post-treatment, but most clients resume normal activities the same day.

  • It is suitable for most skin types, except for those that have keloid scarring,  active acne, rosacea, or open wounds.

Microneedling

  • Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin.

  • It improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone.

  • There is minimal discomfort, the treatment can leave the skin feeling like it has a mild sunburn but this quickly dissipates.

  • Results develop over 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases, with continued improvements over multiple sessions.

  • Mild redness, sensitivity, and slight swelling may occur for a day or two, similar to a mild sunburn.

Dermaplaning 

  • A gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) for a smoother, brighter complexion.

  • No, dermaplaning does not change the texture or thickness of hair; it will grow back the same as before.

  • Every 4 weeks to maintain a fresh and radiant look.

  • Yes, but we recommend waiting at least 24 hours to allow your skin to settle and fully absorb skincare products.

  • Yes, but those with active acne or extremely sensitive skin may need an alternative treatment.

Lash Lift

  • A semi-permanent treatment that lifts and curls natural lashes, making them appear longer and fuller without the need for extensions.

  • Results typically last 6-8 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle.

  • Yes, but wait 24 hours post-treatment before applying mascara or getting your lashes wet.

  • Avoid water, steam and rubbing your eyes for the first 24 hours, and use a nourishing lash serum to maintain results.

  • Yes, but a patch test will be required for all new clients even if you’ve had it done elsewhere.
