Question 1

What is the downtime for anti-wrinkle injections?

Accepted Answer

Anti-wrinkle injections have minimal to no downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience slight redness or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few hours. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, and touching the treated areas for 4-6 hours post-treatment. Results typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible at 14 days.

Question 2

How long do dermal fillers last?

Accepted Answer

Dermal filler results typically last between 6-18 months, depending on several factors including the type of filler used, the treatment area, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Lip fillers generally last 6-9 months, while cheek and jawline fillers can last 12-18 months. At Dr Natalia Clinic, we use premium hyaluronic acid fillers and provide a complimentary review appointment to ensure optimal results.

Question 3

Is the treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Most patients find our aesthetic treatments very tolerable. For anti-wrinkle injections, we use ultra-fine needles and the procedure feels like small pinches lasting only seconds. For dermal fillers, we apply topical numbing cream beforehand and many of our premium fillers contain built-in anaesthetic (lidocaine) for added comfort. Dr Natalia takes every measure to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible, and you can request additional numbing if needed.

Question 6

What is Profhilo and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Profhilo is an award-winning injectable skin booster containing the highest concentration of ultra-pure hyaluronic acid available. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin to provide deep hydration and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Treatment involves 5 injection points on each side of the face using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique. Two sessions are required 4 weeks apart, with results developing over 4-8 weeks and lasting approximately 6 months.

Question 7

Are the treatments safe?

Accepted Answer

Safety is our top priority at Dr Natalia Clinic. All treatments are performed by GMC-registered Dr Natalia Hancock in a clinical setting with medical-grade products. We use only CE-marked, FDA-approved products from reputable manufacturers. A thorough consultation and medical history review is conducted before any treatment to ensure suitability. Our Save Face accreditation demonstrates our commitment to meeting the highest safety and quality standards in the aesthetic industry.

Question 8

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Accepted Answer

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance and restore volume in multiple facial areas including: lips (for volume, definition, and hydration), cheeks (for lift and contouring), nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines (corners of the mouth), chin (for projection and balance), jawline (for definition and contouring), tear troughs (under-eye hollows), temples, and the nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty). During your consultation, Dr Natalia will assess your facial structure and discuss which areas would benefit most from treatment.

Question 9

What is The Perfect Peel and who is it suitable for?

Accepted Answer

The Perfect Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that combines powerful ingredients including TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, vitamin C, kojic acid, and glutathione. It's suitable for all skin types and is particularly effective for treating pigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. The treatment takes about 15 minutes and peeling typically occurs 3-7 days later, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. A course of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
