Lukewarm shower yes — no hot showers for 24 hours. Heat compounds the thermal load already delivered. After 24 hours, normal showering resumes but avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the treated area for 5-7 days.
Not publicly on the website — GDC and ASA rules limit how aesthetic treatment results can be displayed in public marketing. In consultation we discuss what realistic outcomes look like for your specific case, and at the 8-week review we share your own before-and-after photographs taken in the same lighting at consultation and post-course.
After the first 4 hours, yes. Lying flat in the first 4 hours can encourage product migration into wrong tissues; after the product has integrated this concern resolves. Normal sleeping position from the night of treatment.
If bite is acceptable and only one arch has the issue, yes. About 1 in 6 cases qualify. Most patients need dual-arch.
Yes — commonly combined with Profhilo and conservative filler. Combined plans mapped at consultation.
Yes — combined protocols are often the best approach for multiple concerns. Combinations are mapped at consultation based on your skin profile.
Not during the 2-week integration window after each session. After that, other facial treatments are fine — many patients combine Profhilo course with LED light therapy, chemical peels (timed between sessions), or skin treatments. We map the combined schedule at the consultation appointment so everything sits in the right order.
Yes, technically — but the lip flip is for the current pre-final smile. As Invisalign moves the teeth, the lip flip may end up working for a smile that no longer exists. For event-led use during treatment, fine. For long-term smile planning, wait until Invisalign completes.
Yes — but sequencing matters. We typically recommend Invisalign first so the tooth position stabilises, then assess lip flip needs against the new smile architecture. Doing lip flip first risks placing it for a smile that's about to change, requiring re-treatment.
Yes — same-day combined treatment is possible and common. Filler provides volume, lip flip provides the subtle muscle-relaxation effect on top. Combined plans start from £495 depending on filler volume. Discussed in consultation.
Yes, with the right device and settings. We use the Lynton Nd:YAG laser for darker skin, or Lynton IPL, chosen by skin type, and a free patch test is essential before treatment.
Yes, but with discipline. Schedule sessions 4 weeks apart from any deliberate sun exposure or holidays. SPF50 daily on treatment areas. Plan your course timing around summer travel. If your summer lifestyle includes significant sun exposure, winter scheduling is easier.
A modified pregnancy-safe protocol is available — some standard serum ingredients are not recommended during pregnancy, so we substitute. Tell us when booking that you're pregnant and we'll use the appropriate protocol.
Yes — hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved using hyaluronidase enzyme. The dissolving treatment takes 24-48 hours to take effect and returns the nose close to its pre-treatment shape. This reversibility is one of non-surgical rhinoplasty's main advantages over surgical.
Modified pregnancy-safe protocol available — some serum components are not recommended during pregnancy. We substitute pregnancy-appropriate serums. Tell us when booking if you're pregnant.
Yes — combined same-day treatment is common and clinically appropriate. The aftercare protocol covers both areas at once. The combined session takes 45–60 minutes; you have a single recovery and a single 8-week review covering both.
Yes, and often the better answer. Threads handle the structural lift; skin tightening optimises surface tissue quality where threads will hold. PDO threads are from £600 for a single area (the Korean V Lift mono-thread lift is £1,600) and skin tightening from £225. Combined plans are quoted in writing after assessment. Sequencing matters: usually skin tightening first as foundation, threads on top for specific drop areas.
Yes, and this is often the right answer when there's both quality and structural concerns. The typical sequencing: filler first in the genuinely volume-deficient areas, Profhilo 4 weeks later (and at the standard 4-week-apart second session) for overall quality. Don't combine on the same day in the same areas — let each settle and assess separately.
Yes — same-day combined treatment is common when filler provides volume and lip flip optimises how the larger lip sits. Combined plans from £495 depending on filler volume. About 30% of our lip enhancement patients have combined treatment.
Possibly — depends on the cause of previous failure and the remaining bone. We assess at consultation with CBCT imaging. Some previous failures are addressable with the All-on-4 angulation technique; others suggest a different approach is needed.
Yes — if the original session result needs adjustment (asymmetry or under-treated area), we can top up from week 2 onward. For maintenance to extend an existing effect, we typically wait until week 6 minimum.
We don't run formal course pricing on lip flip because most patients use it event-led rather than continuously. For continuous maintenance patients we sometimes structure annual rates; discussed individually rather than published bulk pricing.
Light walking from immediately after; light cardio (easy cycling, brisk walk) from 4 hours; moderate-to-heavy exercise (gym, running, HIIT, hot yoga) from 24 hours. The 4-hour rule is most important; after that gradual return to normal.
Initially no — adjustment period for chewing. After 4-6 weeks most patients chew effectively. Some foods (very hard, very sticky) remain challenging. Implant solutions support better chewing function long-term.
Avoid for the first 4 hours (the suction pressure can spread product). Normal straw use fine from 4 hours onward. After day 1 there are no straw restrictions.
