While we address all client questions during our free consultations, here are some of the most commonly asked questions about our treatments at The Green Room Clinic.
Botox® is a protein derived from Botulinum toxin type A. Its cosmetic effects were first documented by Dr. Richard Clark, a plastic surgeon from California, in 1989. Widely used for both cosmetic and medical procedures, Botox® helps ease conditions such as cerebral palsy, migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms. When injected, Botox® blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, resulting in relaxed muscles, smoother lines, and prevention of new wrinkles. The products we use contain the same Botulinum type A active ingredients and are sourced from a highly regarded British pharmaceutical company, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
Dermal Fillers are used to treat deeper lines and add fullness and volume to the face and lips. They smooth away facial lines, acne scars, lost volume, and skin contour deficiencies. Dermal Fillers are most effective on static facial lines, which are visible even when the face is at rest. These lines are often caused by sun damage, smoking, and genetics. When injected, Dermal Fillers relax the dynamic muscles that cause frown lines, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance by plumping up creased and sunken areas of the face.
Results from Botox® treatments can vary. Some individuals see results in as little as 3 days, while others may take up to two weeks. The effects typically last 3-4 months and gradually wear off, necessitating repeat treatments to maintain the effect. It’s important to wait at least 3 months between treatments.
For Dermal Fillers, the results are instant and can last around 6-9 months, depending on the individual and the treated area. Over time, the filler degrades naturally, and most clients opt for follow-up treatments every 6-12 months.
Our Botox® treatments use products with Botulinum type A active ingredients from a reputable British pharmaceutical company with over 100 years of clinical excellence. For Dermal Fillers, we use Juvederm Ultra and Belotero, both premium quality products from leading pharmaceutical companies Merz and Allergan. All the products we use are safe and have been widely used in various medical disciplines for decades.
As with all medical treatments, some side effects can occur, though they are rare. During our initial consultation, we will discuss potential side effects, which typically occur within the first week after treatment and are temporary. These can include swelling, bruising, tenderness, or redness. If you have any concerns post-treatment, you can always consult with us.
Yes, I have a strong nursing and medical background, along with prestigious qualifications from the Harley Street clinic where I trained. To be accepted into the clinic’s training program, a proven track record as a medical professional for a minimum of 8 years is required. This extensive training and experience give me a distinct advantage in an otherwise unregulated industry. Unfortunately, many individuals without proper medical qualifications perform these treatments, putting clients at risk. I am fully insured and proud of my credentials, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care and peace of mind.
