Patient assessment and the process
- The passage of time, gravity, sun damage, skin type and genetics all play a role in influencing how we age. Rejuvenation and giving you back a youthful look are key.
Procedures aim to either reduce wrinkles by paralysing underlying muscles, place filler where volume has been lost, renew and refresh the skin or stimulate new collagen production. They are all done under local anaesthetic with you comfortable but awake. Gentle music helps helps take your mind off it.
A thorough assessment is the key to developing a bespoke treatment plan that meets your goals and expectations.
