Non Surgical FAQS
Are the results immediate?
While initial results are often noticeable after the first session, the treatment continues to deliver benefits over the following two weeks. For optimal and long-lasting visible outcomes, a course of five sessions is strongly recommended. As the treatment works in harmony with the lymphatic system, individual responses may vary—some clients may experience significant improvement after the first session, while others may require additional treatments to achieve their desired results.
How long will last?
Results can be long-lasting—often extending for several months. However, to maintain optimal outcomes, periodic maintenance treatments are recommended. Client adherence to aftercare instructions plays a crucial role in both the quality and longevity of the results. Following a full course of five treatments, express maintenance sessions are advised to support continued effectiveness.
Is there any downtime?
No downtime is required following the treatment, and you may resume your normal daily activities immediately. However, mild redness in the treated area is common, and in rare cases, slight bruising may occur. These effects are temporary and typically resolve on their own.
What areas can be treated?
Non Surgical Treatments can be administered on the buttocks, abdomen, thighs, lower face/neck and targeted areas of the back.
Skin Tightening can be performed on all the above areas also.
Can I have the treatment if I am pregnant?
No, Non Surgical Treatments are not suitable during pregnancy.
However, we offer a specialised Mummy Makeover package designed to support your postnatal journey once your baby has arrived. Feel free to contact us for more information or to book a consultation.
Can I just have one treatment?
Yes, a single session is available and can still provide noticeable benefits.
However, for optimal and longer-lasting results, a course of 5 sessions are strongly recommended.
Does the treatment hurt?
No, the treatment is completely non-invasive and painless. In fact, many clients find it relaxing.
However, during cavitation, you may hear a high-pitched sound in your ears, which some individuals find mildly annoying. This is a normal occurrence caused by ultrasonic soundwaves traveling through the layers of the skin to target and break down fat cells. As these soundwaves pass through the body, they can reach the eardrums, resulting in this temporary auditory sensation.
Do I need to exercise and diet?
For optimal results, we strongly recommend maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise throughout the course of your treatments.
Additionally, drinking 2-3 liters of water daily is crucial for supporting the body’s natural processes. While noticeable improvements can still be achieved without these lifestyle changes, not following the aftercare advice may impact your results. In some cases, neglecting these recommendations could hinder your progress or even reverse the effects of the treatment, as it may interfere with the breakdown of fat cells.
How long do I wait between treatments?
For optimal results, it is recommended to allow a minimum of 72 hours between treatments.
Weekly sessions are typically preferred, as they are both more convenient for scheduling and cost-effective. However, treatments can be spaced up to 2 weeks apart. Please note that opting for biweekly sessions may lead to slower progress and less immediate results.
Should I book a course of treatments or just one?
For optimal results, we strongly recommend a course of 5 treatments. With proper adherence to the recommended aftercare, any improvements in cellulite reduction and skin tightening can be long-lasting. To maintain lift and volume, we advise scheduling maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks.
What results can I expect?
Your trained therapist will tailor the treatment to focus on specific areas of concern, effectively targeting stubborn cellulite and promoting skin tightening. After completing a course of 5 sessions, you can expect a reduction of up to 10-15cm in the abdominal area.
For the buttocks, the treatment will help achieve a more toned, firm, and youthful appearance with reduced cellulite. Additionally, areas such as the hips, bra line, and upper arms (commonly referred to as "bingo wings") will show visible improvement, with a noticeable reduction in size and firmness.
Do I have to pay the whole cost upfront?
No, full payment is not required upfront. A non-refundable deposit of 40% is required to secure your appointments. For courses of treatment, the remaining balance can be split across your subsequent sessions.
For single appointments, the 40% non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking, with the remaining balance payable upon attendance.
Microneedling FAQS
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, reduce scarring, and minimise fine lines.
What are the benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling offers a range of benefits, including:
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
Improvement in skin texture and tone
Diminishment of acne scars and stretch marks
Enhanced absorption of skincare products
Increased skin elasticity and firmness
Treatment of enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation
Is Microneedling safe?
Yes, microneedling is considered safe when performed by a trained and licensed professional. The procedure involves minimal risk and typically requires little to no downtime. However, it’s important to ensure you are in the hands of an experienced practitioner to minimize any risks.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required depends on your specific skin concerns and goals.
For optimal results, a course of 3-6 sessions is typically recommended, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
Maintenance sessions can be scheduled after the initial course for long-lasting benefits.
What should I expect during the treatment?
The treatment itself usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may experience slight redness or mild discomfort similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few hours.
Is there any downtime after Microneedling?
While there is minimal downtime, you may experience redness and slight swelling for up to 24-48 hours following the treatment.
You can resume most normal activities immediately, but it’s essential to avoid sun exposure and follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to optimize your results.
Will I see immediate results?
You may notice an improvement in skin texture and appearance shortly after treatment. However, the full benefits will become more apparent within 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases and the skin continues to heal and rejuvenate.
Can Microneedling be used on all skin types?
Yes, microneedling is safe and effective for most skin types. It can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, from fine lines to acne scars.
However, it is not recommended for individuals with certain skin conditions such as active eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea.
A consultation with a qualified practitioner will help determine if microneedling is right for you.
How long do the results last?
The results of microneedling can last for several months, as the increase in collagen production continues to improve the skin’s appearance.
To maintain optimal results, regular treatments are recommended, typically every 6-12 months, depending on your skin’s needs.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Microneedling is generally a safe procedure with minimal risks. Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. In rare cases, there may be an increased risk of infection, hyperpigmentation, or scarring, particularly if aftercare instructions are not followed properly. It’s important to choose a skilled professional to ensure the procedure is performed correctly and safely.
What is the aftercare for Microneedling?
After treatment, it’s important to:
Avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours and wear SPF 30 or higher.
Refrain from using makeup for 24 hours post-treatment.
Keep the skin clean and avoid harsh skincare products for a few days.
Hydrate your skin with gentle moisturizers and follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
We will talk more in depth about aftercare during your appointment.
What products are used for Microneedling?
During the microneedling procedure, a serum is often applied to the skin to enhance the effects of the treatment and target specific skin concerns. The tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of the active ingredients in these serums. Some serums that we use include:
Hyaluronic Acid Serums- Hydrates the skin, helps plump fine lines, and accelerates healing.
Vitamin C Serums- Brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, and stimulates collagen production.
Growth Factor Serums- Contains peptides and proteins to support skin regeneration and wound healing.

Vitamin B12 Injection FAQS
What is a Vitamin B12 Injection?
A Vitamin B12 injection is an intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 (cobalamin), a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in energy production, red blood cell formation, and the maintenance of the nervous system.
It helps combat deficiencies, improve energy levels, and support overall health and wellness.
What are the benefits of Vitamin B12 injections?
Vitamin B12 injections can offer a range of benefits, including:
Increased energy levels and reduced fatigue
Improved mood and mental clarity
Enhanced metabolism and weight management support
Better concentration and cognitive function
Improved skin, hair, and nail health
Support for the immune system and red blood cell production
Who can benefit from Vitamin B12 injections?
Vitamin B12 injections are beneficial for individuals with a B12 deficiency, which can be caused by dietary restrictions (e.g., vegans), certain medical conditions (such as anemia, digestive disorders, or malabsorption), or age-related factors.
Those experiencing fatigue, weakness, or mood imbalances may also find these injections helpful. A consultation with a healthcare provider can help determine if B12 injections are right for you.
How often should I get Vitamin B12 injections?
The frequency of Vitamin B12 injections depends on your individual needs and health goals. Typically, an initial course may involve one injection per week for a few weeks to replenish B12 levels, followed by monthly maintenance injections.
Your healthcare provider will recommend the optimal schedule based on your condition and response to treatment.
Are Vitamin B12 injections safe?
Yes, Vitamin B12 injections are generally considered safe when administered by a trained professional. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning any excess is typically excreted through urine, reducing the risk of toxicity.
However, individuals with certain health conditions (such as kidney disease) or allergies should consult a healthcare provider before getting B12 injections.
What should I expect after a Vitamin B12 injection?
After receiving a Vitamin B12 injection, most people feel an increase in energy within a few hours to a couple of days.
