Different problems need different tools. Here is how we decide which you need.
“I look tired” is one sentence covering four or five different things: lines that only show when your face moves, fine lines that are there at rest, texture and pigment left by the sun, skin that has lost firmness, and volume that has quietly gone from the cheeks and temples.
They respond to different treatments, and no single procedure fixes all of them. A consultation here starts by working out which of those you actually have, in what proportion, before anybody talks about what to book. Quite often the answer includes something that is not a procedure at all.
Frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet — Botox Cosmetic.
Roughness, pores, sun damage and scarring — RF resurfacing.
Peptide therapy, where it is appropriate, as part of a wider plan.
Skin thinning and dryness that arrived with menopause deserve that conversation.
Sunscreen and a retinoid do more over ten years than anything we inject.
Sleep, alcohol, smoking and blood sugar all show up in skin. We will say so.
We will not tell you that a treatment reverses aging, that results are permanent, or that a course of anything will make you look twenty years younger. Those promises are everywhere in this industry and they are the reason so many people arrive here disappointed by something they paid for elsewhere.
What is true: expression lines soften reliably with Botox and come back when it wears off. Texture, pore size and pigment improve with a course of resurfacing, and the improvement keeps developing for months afterwards. Both work better on skin that is protected from the sun and looked after day to day. Volume loss and significant sagging are not things we treat here, and if that is the main issue we will tell you honestly and point you elsewhere rather than sell you the nearest thing we happen to own.
We would also rather you spent your first hundred dollars on sunscreen and a retinoid than on anything in this clinic, because over a decade that is the better investment. We will say the same thing in person.
We stay current with the research and the technology so that every patient is offered care we would want for our own families, with a plan built around your medical history and your goals.
When you become our patient you are treated like family. You are never a number, and you will always be told plainly what a treatment can and cannot do for you.
Modern, evidence-based methods and high-quality products.
We review your full history and build the plan around you.
There is no right age. The useful question is what is bothering you and whether there is a treatment that genuinely addresses it. Prevention — sun protection above all — matters at every age.
Often, yes, though usually in sequence rather than on the same day. We will set out an order and spacing that makes sense.
Our aesthetic services are Botox Cosmetic and radiofrequency resurfacing. If what you need is volume replacement, we will tell you that plainly rather than substituting something we do offer.
It depends entirely on what you need and how much of it. You will be given the cost of the whole plan at consultation, before you commit to anything.
Sometimes. Thyroid problems, low iron, hormonal change and poorly controlled blood sugar all show in the skin, and we are a medical clinic as well as an aesthetic one.
Book a consultation. We will tell you what would help, what would not, and what we do not offer.
