  1. Pre-Treatment Guidelines

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

Please find below our pre-treatment guidelines in preparation for your appointment:

• PAYMENT – we DO NOT have a card machine in clinic. Please ensure the remaining treatment balance is paid prior to leaving the clinic by CASH, BANK TRANSFER or PAYPAL.

• Please attend your appointment with no MAKE-UP on.

• Please do not apply your own NUMBING CREAM prior to your appointment as this will invalidate our insurance & treatment will not be able to go ahead. This will result in loss of your booking fee & a further fee will be required to rebook.

• If you have a history of COLD SORES, please start anti-viral medication (Zovirax & Acyclovir) 2 weeks before your lip filler appointment & continue for 2 weeks after – this will help to prevent a flare up.

• Please EAT & DRINK before your appointment – this will decrease the chances of light-headedness during your treatment.

• If you would like BEFORE & AFTER PICTURES of your treatment results, it would be much appreciated if you could take these yourself as we do not have time to send individual pictures after each treatment.

To minimise the risk of bruising, swelling & over stretching the skin you should:

• Avoid ALCOHOL consumption 24 hours before treatment, 24 hours after & also on the day of treatment.

• Avoid taking BLOOD THINNERS, ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES & PAIN KILLERS for 2 weeks before your appointment unless medically prescribed.

• Avoid VITAMIN E and products containing GINGKO EXTRACTS (i.e. Fish and Garlic products) for 2 weeks before your appointment unless medically prescribed.

• Please attend your appointment ALONE. We do not have capacity in our waiting area to accommodate other people.

• Due to safety reasons and insurance purposes CHILDREN/ BABIES are not permitted in the clinic.

• Please attend your appointment ON TIME. If you are more than 10 minutes late you will be asked to reschedule. This will result in loss of your booking fee & a further fee will be required to rebook.

• We are unable to carry out LIP FILLER treatment on anyone who has had LIP BLUSH or LIP TATTOOING. We would first need to assess your lips to ascertain whether or not we can see a colour change when we press firmly onto the lip. If this relates to you please book a consultation appointment before booking this treatment. If you attend without having had a consultation and we cannot see a colour change we will be unable to treat you and this will result in loss of your booking fee, a further fee will be required to rebook.

• We are also unable to carry out LIP FILLER treatment on anyone who has MIGRATED FILLER or LUMPS above or behind their lips. If you are unsure please book a consultation appointment before booking this treatment. If you attend with migrated filler or lumps we will be unable to treat you, this will result in loss of your booking fee and a further fee will be required to rebook.

• If you have had your lips filled previously by another practitioner please book a consultation appointment before booking this treatment.
