Every treatment journey at our aesthetic clinic in Birmingham follows a structured, unhurried process. Here is how it works from start to finish.
You share your concern and desired outcome. The prescriber listens first and then suggests treatment. There’s also a required cooling-off period before any procedure.
We carefully examine the area. We look at muscle activity, skin quality, symmetry, and anatomical factors. These details help us choose the right treatment options.
Realistic expectations are set from the beginning. Good aesthetic medicine focuses on real improvement. We are honest when expectations need to change.
Medical history, medications, and skin condition inform suitability. Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, myasthenia gravis, infections, and aminoglycoside antibiotics. Treatments vary by patient.
Based on the full assessment, the prescriber recommends the right product, dose, and technique for your anatomy and goals. Nothing is decided before the assessment is complete.
Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine. A valid prescription must be issued by the prescriber before any treatment takes place. This is a legal requirement under UK law.
Once suitability is confirmed and consent is given, treatment is carried out by the prescriber. Treatments are not sold without a prior clinical assessment.
You leave with clear written aftercare guidance and a direct contact number. If anything concerns you in the days following treatment, you can reach us promptly.
Facial aesthetics can address a wide range of concerns related to ageing, repetitive muscle movement, or volume loss in the face. Common reasons patients come to us include forehead and frown lines, crow’s feet, heavy brows, neck laxity, jaw tension, and excessive sweating.
Others come in because volume has reduced in the lips, cheeks, or chin over time, affecting facial balance and proportion. Some patients want subtle, regular maintenance. Others are working towards a specific occasion or milestone.
Treatment is adapted to each person’s unique anatomy and goals. It’s not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Below is a full overview of the non-surgical aesthetics available through our clinic, with a brief explanation of what each treatment targets and addresses.
Our anti-wrinkle treatments in Birmingham use botulinum toxin. This helps relax active facial muscles and reduces lines from repeated movement. Results typically last three to four months and vary between individuals.
Horizontal creases across the upper face develop from repeated brow raising. Treatment relaxes the muscles. This softens lines but keeps natural movement and expression.
The vertical lines between the brows, known as “11s,” form from years of focused facial movement. A measured dose relaxes the corrugator muscle without affecting overall expression.
Lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes deepen with smiling, squinting, and sun exposure. Anti-wrinkle injections here tend to produce some of the most naturally balanced results.
Precise placement of botulinum toxin beneath the brow tail creates a subtle upward lift, opening the eye area. It is an option for those who want improvement without committing to surgical correction.
Diagonal creases appearing across the bridge of the nose when scrunching or laughing. They respond well to a small, targeted dose and require minimal product to achieve a visible improvement.
Caused by an overactive muscle that lifts the upper lip too far when smiling, exposing the gums. A precise injection limits how far the lip elevates, noticeably reducing it.
Vertical lines around the mouth result from repetitive lip movement over time, not only from smoking. Anti-wrinkle treatment here is often combined with lip filler for improved overall results.
Overactive depressor muscles pull the mouth corners downward, creating a persistently stern or unhappy resting expression. Relaxing them restores a more neutral and natural appearance.
An overactive mentalis muscle creates a bumpy, dimpled texture across the chin at rest. Targeted injections smooth the skin’s surface. They also greatly reduce unevenness.
Treatment gradually reduces the size of the masseter chewing muscle, softening a wide or square jaw over time. It also relieves symptoms in patients who grind their teeth or clench.
Botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, most commonly in the underarms. Results are significant in most patients and typically last several months per session.
You can soften the prominent vertical bands on your neck (platysmal bands) with anti-wrinkle injections. This improves your neck’s profile without surgery and requires no significant recovery time.
Our dermal fillers in Birmingham use hyaluronic acid. They restore volume, shape facial contours, and smooth deeper lines. Results are visible immediately; lip filler typically lasts six to nine months, while structural fillers (cheek/chin) may last twelve months or longer.
Hyaluronic acid filler boosts the lips’ volume, shape, or definition. It depends on your anatomy and what you want. You can achieve subtle hydration or go for fuller, more defined lips.
Filler adds volume to the mid-cheek. This restores fullness and gives a subtle lift. This can also reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds by lifting the overlying tissue.
Chin filler boosts a receding chin. It enhances facial balance and sharpens jawline definition. It is a non-surgical alternative for patients seeking improved chin projection without implants.
The lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth deepen as volume in the mid-face reduces with age. Filler placed along this fold softens the crease naturally.
Vertical lines from the mouth corners towards the chin give the face a downturned, aged look. Filler here restores structural support to the lower face and can improve facial symmetry.
Filler can soften deeper static lines that stay visible even when your face isn’t moving. This works differently from anti-wrinkle treatment, which addresses muscle activity rather than volume.
Small filler amounts can shape the lip border. This defines the vermilion edge, reduces shadowing, and restores lip structure that may have softened with age.
All pricing is per session. Package pricing is available for combined filler treatments. Results and duration vary by individual and treatment area.

Skin rejuvenation through injectables works for most healthy adults aged 18 and up. It’s ideal for those with a clear, realistic concern they want to tackle. Good general health and clear expectations are the starting point.
Treatment is not appropriate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (absolute contraindications).
Other contraindications are:
Suitability is confirmed at the consultation. If treatment isn’t right for you now, or if your expectations need to change, your prescriber will explain why. Your prescriber will do this clearly and without pressuring you to rebook.
All injectable treatments carry a degree of risk. Your prescriber will discuss these in full before any treatment proceeds and will answer any questions you have before you consent.
Redness, swelling, and bruising at injection sites are normal and usually resolve in a few days. Tenderness right after treatment is also expected.
Mild asymmetry, headaches, or temporary firmness may occur but typically resolve on their own. A follow-up appointment might be suggested.
Vascular occlusion is a serious complication of dermal fillers. We have hyaluronidase available for emergencies. Contact us if you experience severe pain, mottled skin, or vision changes.
No injectable treatment is without risk, and no practitioner can guarantee a specific outcome. The NHS provides general guidance on cosmetic procedures which is worth reading before making any decision.
All advanced aesthetics at our clinic are carried out by a registered, insured healthcare professional with more than 20 years of clinical experience behind them.
No treatment proceeds without an in-person assessment. Prescription-only treatments require a valid prescription issued at that consultation, as required by UK law.
 If a treatment isn’t right for you, or your expectations aren’t achievable safely, we’ll tell you directly. We’d rather lose a booking than cause harm or disappointment.
We comply with the Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021. Botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatments are restricted to adults aged 18 and over without exception, and valid photo ID may be requested.
Our prices are published and fixed. There are no hidden fees, no upgrade pressure during the appointment, and no loyalty-scheme add-ons pushed at consultation.
You leave with a direct contact number. If anything concerns you in the days after treatment, you can reach someone who already knows your case and treatment history.
Your travel health is in experienced hands. Our friendly, GPhC-registered pharmacy team is here to guide you from consultation to certificate.

No. All treatments require a face-to-face consultation first. Prescription-only treatments such as botulinum toxin cannot proceed without a valid prescription issued at that appointment.
Anti-wrinkle results develop gradually over seven to fourteen days. Filler results are visible immediately, though some swelling may temporarily affect the final appearance.
Often yes. Your prescriber will assess at consultation whether combining treatments in a single session is appropriate and safe based on your individual anatomy and medical history.
Contact us promptly. We offer post-treatment reviews and will assess whether monitoring, further advice, a corrective approach, or dissolving filler is the most appropriate next step for you.
Come with a clear idea of your concerns and what you’re hoping to improve. Avoid blood-thinning supplements for a few days before treatment, and arrive with a clean face if possible.
Our pharmacy is based in Erdington and serves patients from across Birmingham and the surrounding postcodes.
