Signs of VO include extreme pain immediately after a filler treatment, and the skin may appear pale or discoloured.

Yes, combining treatments can enhance your results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a combination of treatments tailored to your goals.
Skin boosters are treatments that hydrate and improve your skin from the inside out. They use hyaluronic acid to boost hydration, elasticity, and skin texture, giving you a healthy, radiant glow.
Polynucleotides are natural DNA fragments that help repair and regenerate skin. Known as the “salmon facial” they improve elasticity, hydration, and skin quality, making them great for anti-aging treatments as well as targeting problems like acne, pigmentation and rosacea.
A needle is a sharp, pointed instrument used to inject treatments directly into the skin. It’s great for precise areas but can risk bruising because of its sharp tip. A cannula is a blunt-tipped tube that moves through the skin to distribute treatments more gently. It’s often used for larger areas because it’s less likely to cause bruising and discomfort, making it a smoother option for certain treatments. In short, needles are used for precision, while cannulas are used to spread the treatment.
Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create small, controlled punctures in the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin by as much as 400%, which helps improve skin texture and firmness. It’s great for reducing fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin tone, leaving you with smoother, more youthful-looking skin. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically has little downtime, with most people experiencing some redness for the rest of the day that looks like mild sunburn.
A chemical peel is a treatment that uses a special solution applied to the skin to remove the outer layers. This helps to exfoliate and improve the texture of your skin, making it look smoother and more radiant. Chemical peels can help with issues like fine lines, sun damage, acne, and uneven skin tone. The solution used can vary in strength, depending on the type of peel, with lighter peels requiring little downtime and deeper peels needing more recovery time. After a peel, your skin may be dry for a few days, but the results give smoother, rejuvenated skin.
