Treatments & services

Thoughtful treatment, always led by consultation.

Every treatment begins with a face-to-face consultation with Vicki. Only then — and only if it is right for you — will a treatment plan be suggested.

Consultation

Consultation for lines and wrinkles

If you are concerned about expression lines, frown lines or other facial changes, a consultation is the right place to start. Vicki will assess your skin and facial movement, review your medical history, and explain the range of options — including skincare, non-prescription treatments and, where clinically appropriate, prescription-only options.

Overview
Dermal fillers are gels made from hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin. Used carefully, they can restore some lost volume, support contours and soften the appearance of creases. Vicki uses the Teoxane RHA® range.
Who it may suit
Adults in good general health who are concerned about volume loss or folds — for example around the nose and mouth, cheeks or lips — and who are looking for a subtle change. Fillers cannot address significant skin laxity.
What to expect
Treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes. Most fillers contain a local anaesthetic to improve comfort. Some change is visible straight away, with the final result settling over around two weeks.
Risks and considerations
Common effects include redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising, which usually settle within a few days. Less commonly, lumps, infection or allergic reaction can occur. Rare but serious complications, including vascular occlusion, are possible; Vicki is a member of the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group and will explain these fully.
Aftercare
Avoid make-up for 12 hours, and saunas, extreme temperatures and strong sun for two weeks. Aspirin, high-dose vitamin C and anticoagulants may increase bruising — please discuss medication beforehand. Contact Vicki promptly with any concerns.
Realistic expectations
Results vary between individuals and are temporary — typically lasting from six to eighteen months as the body gradually absorbs the product. Maintenance treatments may be discussed.
Your consultation
A full medical history, discussion of goals and a facial assessment come first. You will receive written information and time to consider before deciding.

Questions

Skin boosters

Hydration from within.

Skin boosters such as Teoxane Redensity 1 are very fine hyaluronic acid treatments intended to improve skin hydration and quality, rather than to add volume. Suitability, the number of sessions and pricing are discussed at consultation.
