Depending on the area and product used, results typically last between 6-18 months before gradually metabolising
Are dermal fillers safe?
When administered by trained professionals using CE-marked products, dermal fillers are considered safe. Mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually resolves within days.
What results can I expect?
A natural, refreshed appearance with enhanced definition. Our focus is on balance and subtlety rather than exaggerated change.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
What is anti-wrinkle treatment?
Anti-wrinkle injections use prescription-only products to relax targeted facial muscles, softening existing lines and preventing new ones from forming.
How long does it take to work?
Results begin to appear after 7-14 days, with full results visible by the end of the second week.
Longevity varies between 3-4 months, depending on muscle activity and individual metabolism.
Which areas can be treated?
Common areas include the forehead, frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines, chin dimpling and jawline slimming.
Is it safe?
Yes - when performed by qualified professionals, it's one of the most widely researched and trusted aesthetic treatments worldwide.
Will I look frozen?
Not unless you choose to. Each treatment is tailored to your preference - some clients prefer a smoother, more lifted frozen look, while most choose natural movement, allowing soft, expressive brows and subtle expression.
Thread Lift
What is a thread lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure using dissolvable threads to lift and reposition sagging skin while stimulating collagen production.

Is there downtime?
Minimal. Mild swelling or tightness may last a few days. Most clients resume normal activity within 24-48 hours.

They can lift cheeks, jowls, jawline, neck and brows - providing definition without surgery.
Microneedling Facials & Infini-Cure
What is a Microneedling Facial?
Our Microneedling Facials combine deep cleansing, gentle steaming, and precision microneedling to remove impurities, clear pores, and rejuvenate the skin. This treatment regenerates skin cells and triggers up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin production, helping to tighten, brighten, and smooth the complexion.
What areas can be treated?
Microneedling is suitable for the face and neck, and can also target acne scars, stretch marks, and fine lines. It's one of the most effective and versatile treatments for skin regeneration and rejuvenation.
How often should it be done?
For consistent collagen renewal and skin rejuvenation, we recommend one session every four weeks. Regular treatments maintain long-term firmness and radiance.

What is Infini-Cure?
Our Infini-Cure system enhances microneedling results through precision technology that can also target active acne and inflammation. It refines pores, balances oil production, and enhances overall skin clarity and texture.
What results can I expect?
Expect visibly smoother, clearer, and firmer skin with improved elasticity and glow. Results continue to build over time as collagen strengthens and the skin regenerates naturally.
