It is a relaxed, no-pressure chat. We talk through your skin, your concerns and what you would like to achieve, go over your medical history, and I will honestly recommend whether a treatment is right for you and which one. There is never any obligation to book.
Most people find them very manageable. Any discomfort is usually mild and brief, and where it helps I use a numbing cream or products that contain anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. I will always talk you through what to expect first.
It depends on the treatment. Many, like anti-wrinkle injections or skin boosters, let you carry on with your day. Others, such as microneedling or peels, can leave you a little red or flushed for a day or two. I will explain the likely downtime for your treatment beforehand.
This varies by treatment and by person. As a guide, anti-wrinkle injections tend to last around three to four months and dermal fillers around six to eighteen months, while treatments like Profhilo, peels and microneedling build their results gradually over a course. I will give you a realistic idea at your consultation.
Every treatment is carried out personally by me, Stacey. The Skin Sanctuary is a private, calm space inside Claris Dental at Rosalind Franklin House in Newmarket, so you are always in experienced, one-to-one care.
That is exactly what the free consultation is for. Some treatments are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or alongside certain medical conditions or medications, so we go through your health and history carefully and only proceed if it is right and safe for you.
The easiest way is to book a free consultation and we take it from there. You can get in touch through the website or by phone, and I will find a time that suits you.
Payment is taken at your appointment. Courses are available on most treatments and can be spaced to suit you, and we discuss the options and pricing at your free consultation with no pressure to commit.
