Consultations for Lines and Wrinkles

Some treatments used for lines, wrinkles or related concerns are prescription-only medicines. These can only be considered after an individual consultation with an appropriately qualified medical prescriber. The prescriber will decide whether a prescription is clinically appropriate; attending a consultation does not guarantee that treatment will be prescribed or provided.

Your consultation may include discussion of:

• Forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet
  

• Excessive gum show when smiling
  

• Brow position or heaviness around the eye area
  

• Lines at the sides of the nose or around the mouth
  

• A downward-pointing nasal tip or downturned mouth corners
  

• Chin dimpling
  

• Jaw tension, teeth grinding or a prominent masseter muscle
  

• Vertical neck bands and lower-face definition
  

• Excessive underarm sweating
  

Treatment will only be provided after the necessary assessment has been completed and when it is considered suitable and clinically appropriate. A separate prescriber or treatment appointment may be required.

Appointment length varies according to the concern being assessed, the consultation required and any treatment plan agreed. The team will advise you of the expected appointment time when booking.

Sensation and discomfort vary between individuals and depend on the treatment selected and area involved. If treatment is agreed, the practitioner will explain what to expect and discuss appropriate comfort measures beforehand.

This depends on the treatment selected, the area treated and individual response. The expected onset, review period and likely duration will be explained as part of your individual treatment plan. Results and longevity vary and cannot be guaranteed.

Recovery depends on the treatment provided and individual response. Temporary effects may include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising or a headache. You will receive treatment-specific aftercare advice, including information about when to seek help.

All treatments carry potential risks and side effects. These vary according to the option selected and will be discussed before you decide whether to proceed. Seek urgent medical advice if you develop difficulty breathing or swallowing, marked weakness, significant visual symptoms or any other severe or rapidly worsening reaction.

Treatment may be unsuitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with certain neurological or muscular conditions, an active infection, relevant allergies or other medical considerations. Medicines and previous treatment history may also affect suitability. The prescriber or practitioner will assess this individually.

Different aesthetic treatments may sometimes form part of a wider plan, but only when appropriate. The practitioner will assess suitability, treatment order and the recovery interval required between appointments.

Where treatment is provided, a complimentary review is available at approximately two weeks. This is a clinical review rather than an automatic top-up appointment. Any additional treatment will only be considered when clinically appropriate and, where required, authorised by the prescriber.
