Consultations are an essential part of your treatment journey for the following reasons. Understanding your aims and goals for treatment, taking a medical history to see if treatments are safe for you, identifying suitable treatments that will get the best results for you, managing expectations of treatment, building trust and rapport and ensuring informed consent. New patients will always require a consultation and there is no obligation to book a treatment, but if you do the £20 fee is deducted.

Botulinum Toxin, commonly referred to as 'Botox" has been safely used for over 20 years in aesthetic medicine and is a popular treatment in the UK. Small amounts of toxin are injected into facial muscles to temporarily block movement. This creates a smoothing effect and lessens wrinkles. Results are temporary and usually last for 12 weeks. Face to Face Medical Aesthetics uses Botulinum Toxin, Azzalure on patients who are under 65. This is a prescription only medicine and requires a face to face consultation before the procedure can take place. This is a legal prescribing requirement in the UK. Advertising a prescription only medication is against medical regulations in the UK, please contact us for prices and more information.

Lip augmentation, commonly referred to as 'lip filler', is an aesthetic treatment used to revitalise and restore definition in the lips acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that supports structure and volume, it is hydrophilic which means it draws in water. By injecting hyaluronic acid in the form of dermal filler, lip shape and contours can be enhanced and lines around the mouth known as 'smokers lines' can be treated. Face to Face only uses premium brand fillers, such as Teoxane RHA Kiss from the award winning RHA Teoxane range of dermal fillers. This range of dermal filler has been designed to adapt seamlessly to the dynamic demands of your face. It also contains lidocaine which is a local anaesthetic to ease discomfort. Results last for 12 months, longer in some people.

Mid face augmentation is a very popular treatment that gives instant results. Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid are used to enhance and restore lost volume in the cheek and mid face area. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is present in human connective tissue and help maintain hydration, flexibility and movement. In aesthetics, HA is used to create volume and definition. Loss of volume in the mid face due to changes brought about by ageing are common in men and women age 30 plus and mid face augmentation can be a great starting point to restore youthful facial proportions. Face to Face only uses premium brand fillers that are made from non animal products and purchased from regulated and approved pharmacies.

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that improve fine lines and skin hydration. At Face to Face, we use Teoxane Redensity 1. This is a skin re-densification treatment  made from a very fine form of Hyaluronic acid, amino acids anti- oxidants and vitamins. It is perfect for revitalising and moisturising the skin, targeting skin concerns such as sun damage, smoking, external pollutants and, of course, the signs of ageing. The treatment is injected into the surface layer of the skin and can be used in the face, neck and décolleté, and not only leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smooth, but also can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles.

Polynucleotides are a biostimulant injectable treatment, also known as PDRN. Made from fragments of fish DNA, PDRNs stimulate the body's natural production of collagen and elastin which improves skin regeneration and hydration, skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, they have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin, improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, pigmentation issues and uneven skin.  PDRNs can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands and also on the head to stimulate hair growth. They are particularly effective at treating dark shadows in the under eye area which can be helpful for people who are not suitable for tear trough filler.

The start of your treatment journey should begin with your skin. Skin resurfacing treatments remove the dead skin cells from the top layer of the epidermis, revealing fresher cells beneath which restores a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skin resurfacing treatments are sometimes called skin peels. There are three depths of skin peels, mild, medium and deep. All skin peels offered at Face to Face are mild treatments, this means you won't peel, they are more for exfoliation. No downtime, no redness, no pain, no peeling. Just radiant exfoliated skin. Treatment takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Skin resurfacing treatments can be used before any injectable treatment or microneedling, making them the perfect pre treatment add on. When purchased with a full price treatment they are just £25. For best results, a course of multiple treatments may be recommended.

Sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, medical microneedling is a procedure that involves tiny single use needles puncturing the skin very quickly at a superficial level. This naturally stimulates the body to produce collagen. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that improves skin elasticity, tone, and texture and is essential for cell and tissue structural support. This treatment has been used for many years and is very safe when performed correctly and addresses numerous skin issues, including fine lines, acne scars, large pores and dark spots. You will see improvements after one treatment but a course may be recommended to see maximum results. Evidence suggests multiple treatments can increase collagen production by up to 400% percent! All Microneedling treatments at Face to Face are super charged with a skin peel first and finished with a take home cooling sheet mask, all included in the price, £80 when booked alongside a full price treatment and £100 as a stand alone treatment. Redness will be experienced immediately after treatment, this is completely normal and will lessen over the next 24 hours.
