Our muscle relaxant treatments use clinically approved neuromodulators to gently reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By targeting specific facial muscles, these treatments help soften expression lines—particularly around the forehead, eyes, and frown area—leading to a smoother, more refreshed appearance without altering your natural expression. Subtle lifting of the lower face, reduction of a gummy smile, and softening of jowls can also be achieved.
Procedure time: 30 minutes
Downtime: Minimal; mild redness or swelling may occur but typically settles within hours
Results duration: Approximately 3–6 months -
Restore lost volume and redefine your natural contours with our advanced volumising treatments. Ideal for enhancing cheeks, lips, chin, jawlines, tear troughs, and nose reshaping, these treatments provide natural lift and support. Using substances naturally found in the body that maintain moisture and skin elasticity, we carefully target areas to restore volume, soften folds, and enhance facial shape and definition. Performed with precision and a deep understanding of ageing and facial anatomy, treatments aim to achieve facial harmony, and promote skin health. Individual outcomes may vary.
Procedure time: 30–45 minutes
Downtime: Minimal to moderate; redness, swelling, and bruising may occur and can last from a few days up to a week
Results duration: Approximately 14–18 months -
Collagen stimulator treatments or biostimulator work beneath the skin’s surface to support your body’s own natural collagen production, gradually improving elasticity, firmness, strength, and texture at a deeper level. This approach encourages the skin to rebuild and strengthen from within, enhancing overall skin quality over time.
Ideal for those seeking gradual and natural improvement in skin structure and vibrancy, this treatment helps smooth fine lines, improve laxity, and support facial contours—without adding volume in the traditional sense. While some initial support may be visible, results develop progressively as collagen regenerates, offering a refreshed and supported appearance.
These treatments are known for their long-lasting effects on skin tone and resilience, making them a preferred option for those looking for natural, sustained improvement.
Procedure time: 30–45 minutes
Downtime: Minimal to moderate; redness, swelling, and bruising may occur and can last up to a week
Results duration: Gradual improvement over 3–6 months, with effects lasting 18–24 months. May need 1-3 sessions. -
PDO thread lifting is a minimally invasive treatment suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are not ready for a surgical approach. This procedure uses dissolvable, biocompatible threads with tiny barbs to lift and reposition sagging skin on the face and neck. The threads provide an immediate subtle lift while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time. This promotes improved skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, supporting gradual and sustained rejuvenation.
The threads dissolve naturally over several months, while collagen stimulation continues to enhance skin health and structure. Treatment can be customised to target common concerns such as sagging cheeks, jawline definition, and neck laxity.
A thorough consultation is conducted before treatment to assess suitability, discuss expectations, and tailor the approach to your needs.
Procedure time: 60–90 minutes
Downtime: Minimal to moderate; redness, swelling, bruising, and tightness may occur and typically resolve within a week
Results duration: Gradual improvement over 3–6 months, with effects lasting 18–24 months -
Our fat reduction treatment offers a non-surgical approach to reducing localised fat deposits in areas such as under the chin and along the jawline. Using clinically researched formulations, this treatment targets unwanted fat cells, which are gradually broken down and naturally eliminated by the body over time.
It is intended for individuals with stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. While it may help refine the appearance of the jawline and neck, it is not a weight loss solution. Where appropriate, a referral to a qualified dietitian may be recommended to complement the treatment and support overall health. A thorough consultation is required to determine suitability and develop a personalised treatment plan.
Procedure time: Approximately 30 minutes
Downtime: Mild to moderate redness, bruising, and swelling may occur and typically subside within 1–2 weeks
Results duration: Considered permanent after 1–3 treatment sessions -
Bio-Remodelling, rejuran and skin boosters are designed to hydrate, repair, and support the skin’s natural regenerative processes. These advanced therapies work beneath the surface to improve skin tone, elasticity, and texture—addressing dullness, dehydration, fine lines, and early signs of ageing.
As these treatments do not add volume, they are a popular option for individuals seeking a natural-looking and preventative, non-surgical approach to support healthy, resilient skin and minimise visible signs of ageing.
Each treatment is tailored during consultation to ensure safety, suitability, and long-term skin health aligned with your individual goals.
We offer a carefully curated selection of evidence-based treatments.

Using the healing power of your own blood, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that supports skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. A small amount of your blood is collected and processed to isolate concentrated platelets, rich in growth factors, which are then delivered back into targeted areas to stimulate repair and renewal.
Often referred to as the “vampire facial,” PRP for skin helps improve tone, texture, and radiance by encouraging natural collagen production and cell regeneration—making it a popular choice for dull or ageing skin. It is also an option for individuals not yet ready for volumising treatments.
For hair, PRP is used to support scalp health and improve hair quality by enhancing circulation and stimulating follicle activity.
Each treatment is tailored during consultation to ensure safety, suitability, and alignment with your long-term goals.
Procedure time: 45–60 minutes
Downtime: Mild redness or swelling may occur; typically subsides within 1–3 days
Results duration: Gradual improvement over 2–3 months; multiple sessions may be recommended -
Our hay fever treatment uses targeted muscle relaxant therapy to help reduce nasal inflammation and symptoms associated with seasonal allergies. This option may assist in relieving congestion, sneezing, and sinus irritation for individuals who have not responded well to conventional therapies or prefer an alternative to daily antihistamines.
The treatment works by calming the nerve signals in the nasal passages that contribute to allergy symptoms. It is considered for short-term relief during high-pollen seasons and is most effective when part of a broader allergy management plan.
A consultation is required to determine individual suitability and ensure the treatment aligns with your overall health needs.
Procedure time: 10–15 minutes
Downtime: Minimal; some may experience mild local discomfort or nasal dryness
Results duration: May offer symptom relief for up to four months; results vary -
This treatment targets the overactive masseter muscles, which are often responsible for teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, tension, and associated headaches. By precisely administering muscle relaxants to these muscles, we help reduce the intensity of grinding and relieve discomfort caused by jaw overuse.
In some cases, patients may also notice a refined lower facial appearance as the muscle activity decreases over time.
A consultation is required to assess your concerns, rule out underlying causes, and determine if this treatment is suitable for your needs.
Procedure time: 15–30 minutes
Downtime: Minimal; mild tenderness or swelling may occur at the injection site
Results duration: Typically 3–6 months; individual results may vary
DISCLAIMER: Results may vary between individuals. All dental and non-surgical aesthetic procedures carry potential risks and benefits. Before proceeding, we recommend seeking advice from an appropriately qualified practitioner. Always consult your healthcare professional regarding your medical conditions and treatment options, including possible risks and benefits.
What to expect at your first appointment
Your first appointment begins with a discussion about your concerns, treatment goals, medical history and previous aesthetic treatments. We will assess your facial movement, proportions, symmetry and any areas you would like to address.
Where treatment is suitable, we will explain your options, expected outcomes, risks, limitations and aftercare. If treatment is not appropriate, or if a different approach would better suit your goals, we will discuss that with you honestly.
For some patients, treatment may be performed on the day. For others, especially where more planning is required, we may recommend a staged approach. Our focus is on safe, considered care rather than rushed treatment.
You are welcome to ask questions at any stage. We want you to feel informed, comfortable and confident before proceeding.
