Frequently Asked Questions

Certain conditions may make treatments unsuitable or require special consideration:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Active infections in the treatment area
• Certain autoimmune conditions
• Blood clotting disorders
• Allergies to treatment ingredients
• Unrealistic expectations

This is why a thorough consultation is essential. I’ll assess your medical history and current health to ensure treatments are safe and appropriate for you.

Always contact me immediately if you have any concerns. I provide emergency contact information and am available to address any issues that arise after treatment.

Most concerns are normal part of the healing process, but I’d rather you contact me unnecessarily than worry alone. I provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure your comfort and peace of mind.

For urgent concerns outside normal hours, don’t hesitate to call my emergency number provided in your aftercare instructions.

My natural approach and conservative treatment philosophy significantly reduces the risk of unnatural-looking results. I prefer subtle enhancements that can always be built upon if desired.

During consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations and I’ll show you examples of the natural-looking results you can expect. I will never recommend treatments that I don’t believe will benefit you.

If you’re ever unhappy with results, I’m committed to working with you to address any concerns and achieve the outcome you desire.

Pricing reflects the quality of products used, practitioner expertise, clinic standards, and level of care provided. Very low prices often indicate compromises in these areas.

My pricing reflects quality products, professional expertise, comprehensive consultations, proper aftercare support, and compliance with all safety regulations. You’re investing in both results and peace of mind.

I believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs. What you’re quoted is what you pay, including consultation, treatment, and aftercare support.

All prices include:

• Comprehensive consultation and assessment
• The treatment itself using quality products
• Detailed aftercare instructions and support
• Follow-up contact for any concerns
• Access to emergency support if needed

There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Home visit appointments may incur additional travel costs depending on location.

Yes, I offer treatment packages that provide better value than individual sessions. Course pricing is available for treatments that require multiple sessions for optimal results.

I also create customized treatment combinations based on your needs and goals. These package deals offer savings while ensuring you receive comprehensive care tailored to your aesthetic journey.

Recovery varies by treatment:

• Anti-wrinkle injections: Minimal downtime, normal activities within 24 hours
• Skin boosters/fillers: 2-3 days for swelling to subside
• Fat dissolving: 1-2 weeks for initial swelling, full results in 6-12 weeks
• Microneedling: 3-5 days skin sensitivity, possible light peeling
• Vacuum facial: Immediate return to activities

I provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment to ensure optimal healing and results.

Common restrictions include:

• Strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours
• Excessive heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 1-2 weeks
• Facial massages or other treatments for 2 weeks
• Swimming for 24-48 hours (longer for some treatments)
• Alcohol consumption for 24 hours (some treatments)

I’ll provide a comprehensive list specific to your treatment. Following these guidelines ensures optimal healing and results.

New legislation requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period between consultation and treatment for anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. This protects you by:

• Ensuring you have time to consider your decision without pressure
• Allowing time to research and ask additional questions
• Reducing impulsive decisions about permanent or semi-permanent changes
• Meeting legal requirements for patient safety

This requirement doesn’t apply to all treatments, and I’ll explain which ones need the waiting period during consultation.

I recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance, especially for:

• Thursday and Friday clinic appointments
• Home visits (require more scheduling coordination)
• Treatment courses requiring multiple sessions
• Special occasions where you want optimal results

For urgent appointments or last-minute availability, please call as I may have cancellations or be able to accommodate emergency requests.

Your first consultation will include:

• Discussion of your aesthetic goals and concerns
• Comprehensive medical history review
• Detailed skin and area assessment
• Treatment recommendations tailored to you
• Explanation of risks, benefits, and aftercare
• Clear pricing and treatment planning

Allow 45-60 minutes for a thorough consultation. You’ll leave with complete information to make an informed decision, with no pressure to proceed.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring a friend or family member for support during consultation. Many clients find it helpful to have someone there for moral support or to help remember information discussed.

However, the final decision about treatment must be yours alone. I’ll ensure you have private time to discuss any concerns if needed.

For home visits, having someone present can be particularly reassuring in your own environment.

I understand that schedules change. Please provide as much notice as possible when cancelling or rescheduling appointments.

For cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, a cancellation fee may apply, especially for home visits where I’ve set aside travel time specifically for you.

I’m always happy to reschedule appointments to find a time that works better for you. Life happens, and I want to be as flexible as possible while respecting everyone’s time.
