Welcome to Dolled Up London

It is against the law to inject or book a consultation for anyone under the age of 18! So please bring id with you to your appointments.

Trypanophobia more commonly known as needle phobia can present a serious problem for people wanting to make a change to their appearance thru aesthetic treatments. The needles that are used in aesthetic treatments are incredibly thin. And the treatments are very quick.

Please let us know before your treatment if you have a needle phobia. And we will take steps to make the appointment as comfortable as possible for you. Client comfort is important to us and remember numbing cream is always applied before any treatment, so this helps to minimise any discomfort.

Here are a few factors that can affect the longevity of your anti-wrinkle injections.

• Your unique body chemistry will determine how quickly you metabolize tox, a high metabolism might metabolize tox faster.

• If you are active and hit the gym frequently, you may notice your anti-wrinkle treatment wearing off quicker than someone who isn't quite as active.

• Some patients are more fortunate and "forget" to use their facial muscles even after the effects of Tox has worn off. Their results will last longer than those who are extremely animated with their facial expressions.

• Stress can cause cellular damage. Stress releases cortisol, the "stress hormone," which triggers an inflammatory response within the body. Consistently high-stress levels can cause the body to break down your anti-wrinkle treatment more quickly.

• it's no secret that sun damage can lead to premature aging by breaking down your collagen and damaging skin cells deep within the dermal layers. On top of this, sun damage causes an inflammatory response within the cells which can also break down your tox, reducing its effectiveness and minimizing its lifespan.

Caffeine - Avoid caffeine for about 24 hours before your procedure and avoid other foods or drinks that have a dehydrating tendency, as this could slow the healing process.

Alcohol - Alcohol also acts as a blood thinner, so give it a miss for a few days before an injection. It’s worth the effort as you should have less bleeding, bruising, and swelling during and after your treatment.

Aesthetic treatments are not a one size fits all, so every individual client should be assessed on an individual basis prior to treatment.

Its important for me to offer a FREE no obligation consultation and establish what your concerns are.

This is key to being able to offer a customised treatment plan and explain treatment option that will meet your expectations.

Pretreatment advice will also be given at the consultation if you wish to go ahead with treatment.

Usual maintenance times – The way our bodies metabolise injectables can vary from person to person. Here I have listed the predicted maintenance time for some of my most popular treatments.

Anti-wrinkle – Top up after two weeks if needed then every 3/6 months.

Lips – Can vary between each individual but typically lasts between 8-12 months.

Chin, jaw, and cheeks Maintenance between every 12-24 months.

Brusing is a result of damaged blood vessels underneath the skin. When blood pools under the skin it causes black, blue, purple, brown or yellow discoloration.

Tissue trauma is inevitable, certain procedure areas and techniques create a higher risk of bruising.

Consider at least 2 weeks grace before any special events.
