MAKING FACES


Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Who can benefit from Treatments from Making Faces?
  2. If you've experienced occasional sunburns, daily sun exposure, hormonal changes, stress and environmental pollution, then your skin will likely show signs of premature ageing or occasional acne flares. Your genetic history may also make you more prone to the effects of ageing skin. Talk with us about how our treatments can be tailored to your skincare goals and your skin type.

  3. Are Chemical Peels safe?
  4. The majority of patients who undergo a chemical peel suffer no serious side effects as a result of the procedure, and most patients say that they would gladly repeat the treatment. However, potential severe risks of chemical peels include permanent scarring, permanent pigment change for people with darker skin, and chemical burns. We will discuss your treatment and medical history in detail with you before making any recommendations.

  5. What is the Obagi® Nu-Derm System?
  6. Obagi® offer a range of treatments and products that we will be happy to discuss with you. Specifically, the Nu-Derm treatment is a physician-dispensed skincare system that can actually transform your skin at the cellular level. You can find out more about it here.

  7. What is Sculptra®?
  8. Sculptra® is a long lasting, clinically-proven treatment than can smooth deep lines and wrinkles and restore facial volume lost to the body's natural ageing process. You can find out more about it here.

  9. Is Botox® safe?
  10. "Botox® has one of the best safety profiles of any injected drug. When injected, Botox® does not travel throughout the body, nor does it remain there." [Lesley Kenton, 2003]

    "People say that you can tell when someone has had treatment with Botox®, but this is not true. If you've had it done by someone who knows what they are doing you can't tell". [Dr Neil Walker FRCD]

  12. Yes, you can browse through the shops and purchase products from Agera®, Epionce® and Jan Marini.

  13. Can I pay for treatments or products on-line?
