How does it work?
We administer a filler to enhance the straightness of your nose by injecting above the dorsal hump and the columella, the base of your nose, to give lift and achieve a smoother, more streamlined, smaller-looking nose.
We will never increase the size of your nose. We use filler to enhance the straight appearance of your nose, in doing so creating the illusion of a smaller nose. Desired results can take multiple treatments to safely enhance the nose. All of this will be discussed in your consultation.
Who performs the injections?
As the injections are viewed as a medical treatment, they should be performed by a qualified professional in a medical environment. At the clinic, our team of highly experienced and highly qualified nurse prescribers ensure that every treatment we complete is safe, and of a high professional standard.
Can I receive treatment straight after my consultation?
Yes, this is possible and completely up to you. Many of our patients who travel long distances have their consultation then receive treatment on the same day as well.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Filler enhancement is very different from surgery as there is little to no downtime after treatment. It is common to have a red or shiny appearance on the nose due to the injections. This will settle after a couple of hours after you can safely apply makeup.
How long do the results last?
Typically, you can expect results to last around a year to 18 months before the body reabsorbs the hyaluronic acid and then repeat injections would be required. This can vary from person to person, depending on the age of the patient, their metabolism, how much exercise they do regularly, the normal blood flow to the face and if they smoke.
For example, younger patients tend to typically have a faster metabolism and increased blood flow to the face, so the filler may last shorter as their body would reabsorb the filler quicker compared to a patient with a slower metabolism. Everyone is different, during your consultation we will discuss this with you to ensure full honesty and transparency with your results.
How much does it cost?
During your consultation, we will discuss your desired results, to recommend the best treatment plan tailored to you. All this will be covered with full transparency in your consultation with your practitioner.
Pricing starts from £400/ml. Offering £300/ml for any additional top-ups between 3-6 months after initial treatment. The quantity of the filler needed is determined by the intensity of the result you would like to achieve; the cost is then worked out based on how much dermal filler is needed.
Some patients may need to return for a top-up 3 weeks after treatment. As a result of extra swelling during treatment, the injection is required to be administered with caution to avoid overfilling. Our best practice is to allow any swelling to subside then reassess after 3 weeks. Costs for these top-ups are £150, depending on the volume of filler required.
How much should I have?
This depends on the desired results you’re looking for. Some patients absorb filler far quicker than others, so may require more or less filler. This is due to your genetic makeup.
During your consultation, you will be advised by your practitioner with the right treatment plan for you. We do recommend further top-up treatments in the future, to maintain your desired appearance.
We advise a gradual build up in order to avoid compromising the blood vessels.
How soon after will I start to see results?
Results can be seen right away, however, there may be localised swelling around the injected areas for a day or two. If unexpected swelling continues, please get in contact with your practitioner.
Can I go back to work immediately after the treatments?
You may experience tenderness or soreness after your treatment. Any swelling should reduce within a few days. These side effects are completely normal and do not present concern.
To help the treated area heal, avoid touching your nose, wearing makeup immediately after treatment or partaking in physical exercise in the days following your treatment.
Does the treatment hurt? Will I bruise?
Every patient’s experience of pain is different, however we will try our best to make the treatment as comfortable as possible for you. We use a local anaesthetic before treatment to reduce discomfort. Bruising around the injection site is possible, only a small percentage of patients develop minor bruising. We are exceptionally experienced with needles to be as gentle as possible.
Are there any risks?
Fillers are only as professional as the individual administrating them. We use the highest-grade sterile equipment and specialist trained nurse prescribers.
We are fully insured and professionally qualified to administer fillers, keeping up to date with advanced courses and techniques to give you a unique, tailored service.
Lumpiness and swelling can occur.
There is a risk of vascular occlusion which can be resolved by dissolving the filler.
We use non-permanent fillers therefore complications can be quickly resolved by dissolving the filler.
Are there any possible side effect to the treatment?
You may experience minor lumps, swelling, puffiness or bruising from treatment which will reduce in 1 to 2 days after treatment. Due to the delicate area being treated, these side effects are completely normal and could last for a few days. Bruising around the injection site is possible but only a small percentage of patients develop small bruising. If bruising occurs, it is usually apparent at day 2-3 and will typically resolve over 5-10 days.
There is a risk of developing vascular occlusion, which we can treat by dissolving the fillers. As the filler is non-permanent, any side effects will improve and heal with time. If you’re concerned you can visit us or give us a call for advice.
When is the best age to get filler treatment?
Ageing is individual, so there is no right time to get fillers. If you begin to notice subtle changes, such as your makeup no longer looking right, it may be as a result of the planes of your face shifting with age. We recommend that no one under the age of 18 receives fillers.
What if I don’t like the results from my fillers?
It’s possible to instantly dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers using the same enzyme the body uses to break down its own natural hyaluronic acid in the skin. However, outside of emergencies we recommend waiting at least 4 weeks after treatment to dissolve fillers to ensure you’ve fully recovered.
I’m pregnant, can I have fillers?
Currently, no thorough research has been undertaken to conclude the side effects of fillers in pregnant women. For this reason, we do not advise nose reshaping procedures during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
Can I have fillers if I am not 18?
The treatment is recommended for people between the ages of 18 and 60. Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 18 cannot receive this treatment.
