Our practice embraces a philosophy whereby thorough individual patient assessment, the latest non-invasive therapy techniques and experience combine to provide an optimal cosmetic result.

Cosmetic injections such as Botox or dermal fillers are a prescription-only drug. Botox is a potent bacterial neurotoxin which will have consequences if not used correctly. Many beauty clinics cut costs and use unqualified doctors or enrolled nurses to perform the procedure – this can be done providing there is a qualified doctor supervising the procedure, however, in many cases, the doctor is never in the same room.

We do not encourage this at all, as it raises concerns about the insurance requirements should something go wrong. At Bartchall Medical Skin Rejuv & Regen, our experienced doctor is available to talk you through the procedure and will give you peace of mind that you are in safe hands.

Before undergoing any cosmetic medical procedure, our qualified doctor will sit down and provide you with an in-depth consultation regarding the treatment you are seeking. We will ask you about your medical history and any previous treatments you may have had, any past or present illness or surgeries and any medications you may be taking.

We want to completely inform you about the procedure you are having, answer any questions you may have, and give you peace of mind before we begin.

Rather than just smoothing out or tightening the skin, the aim of an injectable filler is to fill in deep folds, fine lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips or add volume to hollow cheeks and eyes to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Hyaluronic Acid aka Teosyal Global Action can last anywhere from 6 to 9 months, while synthetic fillers such as Radiesse may last 12 to 18 months. During your consultation, we can discuss the options that would be best suited to your individual circumstances.

The pain will vary depending on the patient and the area being treated. An anaesthetic is generally used for the lips to reduce the discomfort it may cause.

The most common side effects from a dermal filler treatment is bruising, allergic reaction or infection. There may be severe complications if a practitioner accidentally injects filler into a blood vessel, which is why we stress the importance of using an experienced and reputable doctor for your procedure.

The anti-ageing effects of anti-wrinkle injections are well known for their place in Hollywood, but is now readily available much closer to home. Anti-wrinke injections work by relaxing the muscles, preventing the skin from developing wrinkles. The use of anti-wrinkle injections is now common place amongst younger females in their late 20’s – 30’s as a preventative measure towards wrinkles for a longer lasting youthful appearance.

Typically, Botox injections will last 3 to 4 months, and will usually require ongoing maintenance treatment.

The pain could be described as a small prick that only lasts a few seconds. It is very tolerable for most people.

When performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner, the possible side effects are rare, and usually only temporary. They may include bruising, redness, swelling, numbness or pins and needles. During your initial consultation, we can advise you on any other possible side effects specific to your treatment.
