Injectables
Neuromodulator — frown + forehead
Movement lines soften; resting lines fade partially
- First visible
- Day 3–5
- Peak
- Day 14
- Lasts
- 3–4 months
Deeply etched resting lines improve over repeated cycles but rarely erase completely.
Results, honestly
A results page with no photos — on purpose
Marketing galleries show the best case of the best candidate in the best lighting. What you deserve to know is the typical case: when a result appears, when it peaks, how long it lasts, and the footnote nobody prints. That's this page. The photos come later — in consultation, unretouched, consented, and matched to your anatomy.
Why not publish before/afters?
Because a website gallery is a highlight reel by definition — lighting, angles, and the one-in-twenty result do the persuading. We think that manufactures expectations medicine can't keep.
What you'll see in consultation
Unretouched case photos from our own charts, shared with written patient consent, chosen because the anatomy and goal resemble yours — including average results, not just the best ones.
How to read the cards below
Each card is a typical-course timeline for a treatment we perform, with the honest footnote attached. Your course depends on your anatomy and history — which is what the consultation is for.
Typical-course timelines
What changes, and when
Injectables
Cheek filler — 1–2 syringes
Restored mid-face support; softer nasolabial shadow
- First visible
- Immediately (with swelling)
- Peak
- 2–4 weeks, once settled
- Lasts
- 9–18 months
Filler supports structure — it does not lift jowls or replace surgical work.
Injectables
Lip filler — conservative
Definition, balance, and modest volume
- First visible
- Immediately (expect 2–3 days of swelling)
- Peak
- 2 weeks
- Lasts
- 9–12 months
The day-one mirror overstates it: judge lips at two weeks, never in the car outside.
Laser + light
IPL photofacial — series of 2–3
Sun spots lift; background redness calms
- First visible
- Spots darken, then flake by day 7–10
- Peak
- 4 weeks after final session
- Lasts
- Season to season with SPF
New sun exposure makes new spots — SPF is the other half of this treatment.
Laser + light
Laser hair removal — series of 6–8
Progressive reduction in density and regrowth speed
- First visible
- Shedding 1–3 weeks after each session
- Peak
- After the full series
- Lasts
- Long-term, with occasional touch-ups
Reduction, not erasure — most people keep some fine, light regrowth.
Laser + light
Fractional resurfacing — acne scarring
Texture smooths; scar edges soften
- First visible
- After peeling, day 7–10
- Peak
- 3–6 months as collagen rebuilds
- Lasts
- Improvements are long-lasting
Expect meaningful improvement, not perfect skin — deep rolling scars may need combined approaches.
Skin health
Microneedling — series of 3
Refined texture; brighter, more even skin
- First visible
- 2 weeks after first session
- Peak
- 3 months after the series
- Lasts
- Long-lasting with maintenance
Session three does the work sessions one and two set up — finish the series before judging.
Skin health
Medium-depth peel
Pigment lifts; texture and fine lines improve
- First visible
- After peeling completes, day 6–8
- Peak
- 4–6 weeks
- Lasts
- Months to years with sun protection
The four days of visible peeling are real — we schedule these around your calendar, not ours.
Body contouring
Cryolipolysis — flank, 2 applicators
Treated pocket reduces roughly 20–25%
- First visible
- Week 4–6
- Peak
- Month 2–3
- Lasts
- Treated fat cells don't return; weight change still applies
A contour change measured in centimetres — the scale itself barely moves.
Body contouring
RF skin tightening — series of 6
Mild laxity firms gradually
- First visible
- Session 3–4
- Peak
- 6–8 weeks after the series
- Lasts
- 6–12 months; maintainable
Firmer, not lifted. Significant laxity is surgical territory and we'll say so.
Every treatment above is priced and explained on its treatment page — and whether your case matches the typical course is a candidacy question a consultation answers before any money changes hands.

Consultation photo reviews are unretouched, consented, and matched to your anatomy — persuasion by evidence, not lighting. The match quiz can point you to the right conversation first.
