Frequently Asked Questions

Some treatments aren't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, including chemical peels, microneedling and certain active ingredients. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, let us know when booking so we can recommend a safe, gentle alternative or adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

We offer a range of facials depending on your skin concern. The Rose Ritual is our signature customisable facial suited to all skin types, combining optional dermaplaning, an enzyme mask, hot towel, massage, sheet mask and LED therapy. The Skin Reset Facial combines BioRePeel with microneedling for a more targeted, results-driven treatment. During your consultation we'll recommend which is right for you based on your skin goals.

This depends on the treatment and your individual skin concern. Single facials like the Rose Ritual give an immediate glow, while concerns like pigmentation, acne scarring and texture generally respond best to a course — most clients see meaningful change over a course of three sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.

Mild redness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours is normal after microneedling and chemical peels, similar to mild sunburn. You can wear makeup the next day in most cases. We'll talk you through exactly what to expect and send aftercare instructions after every treatment.

Acne scarring and texture respond well to microneedling and mesotherapy microneedling. Pigmentation is often best addressed with a course of peels or the Skin Reset Facial. If you're unsure, get in touch or book a consultation and we'll build a plan around your skin.

Avoid active ingredients like retinol or exfoliating acids for a few days beforehand, and try to avoid sun exposure or fresh tanning. Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin where possible — full pre-treatment guidance is sent when you book.

Swelling is usually most noticeable in the first 24–48 hours and settles within a week. Bruising, if it occurs, can take up to 1–2 weeks to fully fade, though this varies from person to person. Lips tend to swell more than other areas initially — this is completely normal.

Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medication (where medically appropriate), fish oil and vitamin E supplements for a few days before treatment, as these can increase bruising risk. Staying hydrated and avoiding intense exercise on the day also helps. We'll go through this in more detail before you book.

Yes, a topical numbing cream is applied before your treatment and left on to take effect. The filler itself also contains a local anaesthetic, so most clients find the process very manageable.

Lip and facial filler typically lasts between 6–12 months depending on the area treated, the product used and your individual metabolism. We'll advise on timing for top-ups at your appointment.

Most clients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the filler itself contains a local anaesthetic for added comfort during treatment.

Some swelling and mild bruising is normal for the first few days. We recommend avoiding intense exercise, alcohol and makeup on the treated area for 24 hours. Full aftercare instructions are provided after every appointment.
