Frequently asked questions
No. The consultation is an opportunity to receive advice and ask questions. There is no obligation to proceed.
This depends on the treatment, your medical assessment and whether an appropriate cooling-off period is required. The practice will advise you when arranging the appointment.
Downtime varies. LED light therapy usually has none, while microneedling can cause temporary redness and a medium-depth peel involves visible peeling. Injectable treatments may cause temporary swelling, bumps or bruising. Your likely recovery will be discussed before treatment.
This depends on your skin, the concern being treated and your response. Some treatments are offered as a course, while others may require periodic maintenance.
No cosmetic treatment can guarantee a particular result. Dr Sam will explain what may reasonably be expected and any important limitations.
Suitability depends on the specific treatment and your health. Pregnancy or breastfeeding, active skin infection, certain medical conditions, medicines or recent procedures may affect whether treatment can proceed. Please provide a complete medical history at consultation.
