Dermal fillers
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and supporting collagen from beneath the surface and forming lines. I use non-permanent gel fillers like Restylane, to plump out lines from nose to mouth corners and around the mouth. It is also used to good effect in lip sculpture. Costs from £180. More information
Botox
Botox really can produce dramatic reduction in upper face lines eg. crows feet and brow frown lines, often with no "downtime" at all. Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein which is produced by bacteria. Botox is charged per unit. An average price is 200 for one area. More information
Chemical Peels
The application of a chemical solution to the surface of the skin can produce the careful removal of its outer layers, together with imperfections of texture and pigmentation contained within, to give a markedly clearer, smooth and rejuvenated complexion. We offer two types of peel: superficial peels and moderate depth peels. More information
Removal of Thread Veins
Microsclerotherapy is the best treatment for thread veins of the leg. It will dramatically reduce the appearance of these tiny unsightly red veins. They are far more common in women, who can often feel self conscious about showing their legs. A medication (Sclerovein 0.5%-0.75%) is injected into each of the involved vessels. This causes swelling in the vein's wall and its eventual destruction. Cost: 1/2hr £150, More information
Sculptra
Sculptra employs the use of injected poly-L-Lactic acid to produce a unique volumising and lifting effect (" A liquid Facelift " ) 3 or 4 monthly treatments are often necessary and results are slow but sure. It can be employed to very good in effect to augment and lift cheekbones with the effect of tensioning nose to mouth lines and jowls. It is also very useful in tear troughs and for sunken cheeks.
