People will take on average up to two years to research and engage with a practitioner or clinic before they take their first step into the world of aesthetic treatments.
It’s important to carefully consider aesthetic treatment options before making a decision.
It is important that as nurses, we respect and understand that it is a big decision to consider aesthetic treatment.
I always ask new patients to book a considered, thorough analysis to figure out what you need for optimal improvement.
Each patient’s concerns will be unique.
Through listening, caring and understanding our patients coupled with knowledge and an artistic hand, I can advise, give you information and explanations and devise a complete treatment plan that will help not just for today, but for the future.
At Flawless Aesthetic Clinic, I have created a safe, comfortable and relaxed space so you can feel at home. This is your opportunity to get to know me, ask questions and share your aspirations with me.
I ask that during this stage you keep an open mind, because you may have a vision, but I could advise differently based on my assessment and knowledge of the many treatments available.
I don’t know what treatment I need
If you are unsure which treatment would be best for you, don’t worry. Taking a holistic approach to aesthetics, I will discuss your concerns and goals with you whilst also taking into account your lifestyle and how this might affect your skin.
Following this, I will give you expert and honest advice during your consultation, helping you make an informed decision if you should consider aesthetic treatment or not.
Do I have to have a treatment if I come for an appointment?
Not at all. After the consultation, any practitioner should allow plenty of time for the patient to decide whether to go ahead with the treatment and not rush them to book an appointment, so they have the freedom to consider aesthetic treatment carefully.
I am pushed for time, so could I have a treatment on the same day as a Consultation?
Yes, if following your consultation you are happy to proceed.
I take a conservative approach and may divide treatments into sessions so sometimes I will recommend you to rebook and revisit the clinic at a later date.
This will all be confirmed in your Treatment Plan if you decide to consider aesthetic treatment.
When the time comes for the patient to have their treatment, making them feel comfortable is crucial, so the patient feels reassured from the moment they walk into the door for their treatment.
Do Treatments Hurt?
Most treatments aren’t too painful, however, anaesthetic cream is offered or applied prior to all treatments. There is also a local anaesthetic contained within the solution of some products so the treatment area will begin to numb from within from the very first injection when you consider aesthetic treatment.
I also use different equipment, for example, if one of my patients has filler, I use topical anaesthetic and gel ice packs throughout, and use filler with smaller 33-gauge needles to reduce pain and swelling.
Asking patients how they are feeling and regularly checking in throughout the treatment is also important to me. This helps patients feel more at ease when they consider aesthetic treatment.
At the end of the treatments, I also offer patients after care creams and gels or a face mask to soothe the skin further.
Will I Bruise?
Not necessarily, but bruising and swelling can be expected after treatment and is a normal part of the healing process. To help swelling go down if you consider aesthetic treatment, we can use Arnica and apply ice.
It’s important to avoid blood-thinning painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen as this can actually make the risk of bruising worse. If you do need something to ease discomfort, opt for paracetamol.
Can I travel after treatment?
Yes, you are able to travel after treatment. I recommend allowing 2 weeks before flying and 6 weeks before any big events. This buffer period is important if you consider aesthetic treatment.
How much do treatments cost?
Treatments cost from £150 – £550.
