Hyaluronic acid filler can usually be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. At DWL hyaluronidase dissolving is £180. We see it as a safety measure rather than a routine fix, which is why we prefer to place less filler, review at two weeks, and add more only if it is clearly needed.
No. Profhilo is sometimes described as an injectable moisturiser or skin booster. It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid that disperses through the skin rather than holding a shape. It will not lift a cheek or define a jawline. If you are comparing it with other skin boosters, our polynucleotides comparison may also help.
Profhilo does not change face shape, so its effect is inherently subtle: people tend to say you look well rather than different. Filler can look entirely natural when it is used conservatively for real volume loss. It tends to look unnatural when it is overused or placed without a clear indication, which is an assessment issue rather than a product one.
Filler usually lasts longer per treatment, typically six to eighteen months depending on the product and the area treated. Profhilo is generally maintained around every six months after the initial two sessions. The two are not really competing on longevity, because they do different jobs; the better question is which concern you are trying to address.
Yes, and for many people a combined plan is the honest answer. We usually begin with Profhilo so the skin is in better condition, then add a conservative amount of filler only where volume is genuinely missing. Sequencing and spacing are agreed at consultation, and you are never committed to both because you started with one.
Profhilo improves the quality of the skin itself: hydration, firmness and texture across a wider area, without changing the shape of the face. Dermal fillers restore volume in a defined place, such as the cheeks, lips, chin or jawline. Both are made from hyaluronic acid, but they are formulated to behave very differently once injected, so they answer different questions.
Onda usually has little or no downtime; temporary redness, warmth or tenderness settles quickly. Radiofrequency microneedling typically involves a few days of redness, swelling and fine pinpoint marks after each session. Our laser tightening options vary by setting, and we explain the expected recovery before you book.
Most people have a course of four sessions, a few weeks apart, though some areas need more. Onda is £300 per session, or £1,020 for a course of four, including an online personal training session. We confirm the plan and the full cost in writing after your consultation.
No. Onda reduces fat volume in a specific area; it does not meaningfully change your weight and is not a substitute for diet, movement or medical weight management. It works best when your weight is stable and the concern is a defined area that has not responded to those things.
Onda can give a mild tightening effect and may improve the dimpled texture of cellulite, but it is primarily a fat-reduction treatment. Where loose skin is the main concern, a dedicated skin-tightening treatment is usually more appropriate, and we will recommend that instead of more Onda sessions.
It depends on the concern. If it is a stubborn pocket of fat and the skin over it is reasonably firm, Onda is the relevant conversation. If it is loose, crepey or textured skin, a skin-tightening plan is. Many people have a little of both, which we assess at a skin and aesthetic consultation (£65, redeemable against treatment).
No. For skin laxity and texture we use laser lift and tighten (from £195), laser skin tightening (from £225), microneedling (from £160) and Profhilo (£350), often in combination. Morpheus8 is a legitimate, widely used treatment; we simply cover those concerns with the options we already use and know well.
No. Onda uses microwave energy to reduce defined pockets of body fat. Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency microneedling to remodel collagen in the skin, for laxity, texture and scarring. They are compared because both use heat and both appear under "body contouring", but they treat different concerns and work on different tissue layers.
Onda can give a mild tightening effect and may improve the dimpled texture of cellulite, but it is primarily a fat-reduction treatment. If loose skin is your main concern, a dedicated skin-tightening approach is usually more appropriate, and we will say so at consultation rather than sell you the wrong course.
Every course begins with an assessment with Dr Vishal Patel, who trained with Lynton Lasers in Onda and plans each treatment. Onda is a device treatment rather than a prescription medicine, but careful case selection still matters: we check your medical history, the area and the type of tissue before recommending it.
The treated fat cells are cleared gradually, so change builds over the weeks following each session and across the course. Cleared fat cells do not return, but the remaining cells can still enlarge with weight gain, which is why steady eating and activity patterns matter for lasting results.
Most patients describe a building warmth with brief moments of more intense heat, and the skin is cooled throughout. There is usually little or no downtime; temporary redness, warmth or tenderness in the area is normal and settles. Most people return to normal activity the same day.
Most people have a course of four sessions, a few weeks apart, though some areas need more. Onda is £300 per session, or £1,020 for a course of four, which includes an online personal training session. We confirm the plan and the full cost in writing after your consultation.
Broadly, yes. Both produce a gradual, moderate reduction in fat in the treated area, and both need several weeks before the change is visible. The mechanisms differ, heat against cold, and individual results vary with the area, the amount of fat and how stable your weight is afterwards.
Because of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, a rare complication of cold-based fat reduction in which the treated area enlarges rather than shrinks. It does not resolve on its own and is usually corrected surgically. Onda works by heat, so that specific risk does not apply. This is a clinical judgement for our practice, not a claim that CoolSculpting is unsafe.
No. Onda reduces fat volume in a specific treated area; it does not meaningfully change your weight and is not a substitute for diet, movement or medical weight management. It is a contouring treatment for defined pockets that persist despite those things, and it works best when your weight is stable.
Yes. Inman treatment is self-contained, and Invisalign can follow if more movement turns out to be needed. We review progress, discuss the options openly and only proceed with further treatment if it is genuinely warranted for your teeth. A new scan and plan would be needed first.
Yes. Teeth that have been moved quickly are especially prone to drifting back, so a retainer is part of treatment, not an optional extra. The same applies after Invisalign. We fit retainers at the end of treatment and explain how often to wear them over the long term.
Most patients describe firm pressure rather than pain, particularly in the first few days as the springs begin to work. Speech can feel different until the tongue adapts to the appliance. Invisalign usually causes a day or two of tightness with each new aligner. Ordinary pain relief is generally enough for either.
Not always. At DWL, Invisalign Express is £2,200, Moderate £3,400 and Unlimited £4,500 to £4,900, and Inman treatment is quoted in writing after assessment. For a minor front-teeth case the difference is often modest, so the decision should rest on suitability rather than price.
