The options, honestly explained
- Botulinum toxin (Botox) — relaxes the muscles behind expression lines (frown, forehead, crow's feet); results appear over days and last months.
- Dermal fillers — restore lost volume and soften deep folds using hyaluronic acid, a molecule skin makes naturally; most are dissolvable if ever needed.
- HIFU skin tightening — focused ultrasound stimulating collagen for gradual, non-surgical firming over the following months.
- Chemical peels — customised formulations improving tone, texture and fine lines across a short course.
The natural-result principle
The distorted looks that fuel filler myths come from over-treatment, not from the treatments themselves. A dermatologist-led, conservative approach — small amounts, precise placement, review over time — aims for people to notice you look fresh, not to notice a procedure. Where a treatment doesn't suit your face or goals, that is said plainly.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles behind expression lines; fillers restore lost volume. They address different concerns and are sometimes combined after assessment.
Will fillers look fake?
Not with a conservative, dermatologist-led approach — small precise amounts aimed at a rested, natural look. Over-filling causes the looks people fear, and it is avoidable.
What is HIFU and does it work?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen for gradual, non-surgical skin firming over months. Suitability and realistic expectations are assessed individually.
At what age should I start anti-ageing treatment?
There is no fixed age — daily sunscreen is worthwhile from your twenties, and procedures are added only when your skin's needs and your goals call for them.
