FANTASTIC FACIAL AESTHETICS

ARE THE FACIAL AESTHETICS TREATMENTS PAINFUL?
No! Other than a slight tingling sensation during the procedure our treatments are nearly painless and take only a few minutes. We also use mini ice packs and numbing cream to ensure any discomfort is minimal. Many people can have treatment in the morning and happily return to work later that same day.

HOW LONG WILL THE EFFECTS OF SKIN TIGHTENING LAST?
The effects of the treatment usually become visible in three to five days and reach their peak in 14 days. This enhanced effect will last from three to six months and if you want to keep your new and improved look, simply repeat the procedure. Keep in mind that if the treatment is repeated before the effect is completely gone, it will ultimately last longer.

IS THE PROCEDURE SAFE FOR MEN?
Of course! The only difference is that men, because of their larger body mass, tend to require a larger dose for an additional cost of £25.

WILL MY FACE LOOK FROZEN?
We prefer the “less is more” approach to ensure you get the results you want. We make it our best practice to see you again within two weeks of your treatment to see how things are going and will ‘top-up’ if we think it’s necessary.

WILL MY WRINKLES BE WORSE WHEN THE TREATMENT WEARS OFF?
No. In fact, what most people don’t know is muscle relaxants have both a therapeutic and preventative effect on wrinkles. What this means is even if you stop the treatment, and your wrinkles gradually reappear, they will be exactly as they were before you visited our skin clinic.

DOES THE ‘GUMMY SMILE’ TREATMENT HURT?
Generally speaking, you shouldn’t feel much pain at all during the procedure. Lorna has the skills and experience to achieve optimal results with very little discomfort. We can also use a topical numbing cream to reduce the risk of pain even more.

HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS LAST?
For most patients the effects of our ‘gummy smile’ treatment should last anywhere from 4 to 6 months. A good rule of thumb is to expect to have the treatment about three times per year to keep your new smile on a more permanent basis.

HOW LONG BEFORE I FEEL ‘NORMAL’ AFTER TREATMENT?
To help you on your recovery we will ask you to NOT rub or touch the treatment site for at least 6 hours, avoid exercise for the rest of the day (to reduce sweating), and NO lying down or leaning forward until the treatment has fully taken effect (usually after a few hours). By following our post-treatment advice you should be enjoying normal life in nearly no time at all.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT OF HYPERHIDROSIS LAST?
Your new found dryness can last anywhere from 4 to 14 months. However, it’s not uncommon to have repeat treatments every 6 months or so for consistent results. Our treatment is simple, safe and effective so you can have the treatment as often as needed.

IS THE HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT PAINFUL?
No, not really. In fact, you shouldn’t feel much, if any, pain during the procedure. Lorna has the experience and skills to give you the best results with as little discomfort as possible. We can also use a topical numbing cream to reduce the risk of pain even more.

IS HYPERHIDROSIS COMMON?
Excessive sweating is fairly common and affects approximately two million people in the UK- or roughly three in every one hundred people. Hyperhidrosis can affect many different parts of the body including your underarms, the soles of your feet and palms of your hands, and can happen at any age. The important thing is to remember you’re not alone and we can help.
