Gill’s Journey (Volume Replacement Therapy)

6 July 2023

As we get older, on average our faces will lose about 6mls of volume between the ages of 30 and 60.  The solution?  A volume replacement programme, bespoke to the individual patient, to respectfully and carefully replace the volume which has been lost underneath the skin.  I will use a cannula to administer the hyaluronic acid dermal filler in the areas we need to target; a highly skilled procedure, mastered over many years of practice.

23 September 2021

I’ve always been mindful of trying to avoid having patients leave my clinic with a bruise or mild swelling; long ago investing in an expensive, high tech gadget which shows where veins are located underneath the surface of the skin. I strive to minimise the risks as much as possible. But patients do need to know that no practitioner can ever give a 100% guarantee – no matter how experienced, careful and skilled they are.  This is why we always advise our patients to factor in plenty of time if they are booking treatments prior to a holiday or a big event.

A journey to happier skin

18 May 2020

Over the years I’ve tried most skincare products, both cheap and expensive, in addition to my regular use of fake tan. I felt it gave me the appearance of a nice healthy glow, which I tended to hide behind. But then I became increasingly aware of the medical grade products from Obagi. I was reading a lot about the Obagi Nu-Derm System and had seen the great before and after photos and impressive reviews. So, what did I have to lose?
