The Paragon Effect – Suzy's experience with dermal fillers and botulinum toxin
We always post images of the end results we achieve for clients across our social media, but the downside is you never get to see how this has changed the client’s life from their point of view.
We’ve decided to start a series of client case studies so you can read the journey of our treatment process and hear the client’s opinion first-hand.
Our first case study, Suzy, is a client of Dr. Elle’s. Suzy states: “The aesthetic treatments I have undergone with Paragon Aesthetics has transformed my appearance physically but has also transformed my confidence as well. This has been the biggest change for me, I didn’t expect the treatments to have such a positive impact on how I felt within myself.”
So, let’s look at her journey with us:
Consultation
- Suzy had her first appointment in August 2020 with no previous aesthetic treatments
- She stated that she never thought she would be someone who would ever have anti-ageing treatments like anti-wrinkle treatment or dermal fillers
- Suzy discovered Paragon Aesthetics after following Dr. Elle on Instagram and had followed for a while before deciding to book a consultation
- Suzy was very nervous about the whole process
Presenting complaints
- Suzy stated she looked ‘tired’ all the time
- She believed her jawline was heavy and that she never photographed well
- Suzy was mainly interested in undergoing tear trough treatment
- She was also aware of lines at rest on her forehead but felt this was not a main concern
Treatment process
- Initial consultation in clinic at Paragon Aesthetics
- Elle carried out a full-face assessment during consultation
- Treatment was planned over a series of appointments and follow-ups planned too
Facial assessment determined by Dr. Elle
- Lines at rest in upper face
- Tear troughs noted associated with minor pigmentation
- Midface volume loss noted to be a contributing factor to ‘tired appearance’ and feeling of lower face being ‘heavy’
Treatment plan
After a discussion with Dr. Elle about the process of facial ageing and the importance of a holistic approach Suzy understood the importance of treating the face as a whole and embarked on a treatment plan of:
- Appointment 1 – initial consultation
- Appointment 2 – cheek augmentation 2.4ml
- Appointment 3 – review of cheeks and tear trough first treatment
- Appointment 4 – review of tear trough and touch ups of previous cheek treatment
- Appointment 5 – anti wrinkle treatment
- Appointment 6 – review of anti-wrinkle treatment
The treatment was purposely staged over a series of weeks to ensure the Suzy gained confidence with treatment and to avoid a lot of change too quickly. Tear trough was performed over two visits, this is standard protocol with us here at Paragon Aesthetics to avoid over treatment of this delicate area.

We’ll leave you with this quote from Suzy: “I must admit to being nervous before my first consultation, but Dr. Elle put me at ease straight away. She really listened to me, discussed a plan and explained everything so clearly. I’ve been thrilled with the results following each treatment and now feel much more confident in my own (less wrinkled and fuller) skin. I’m still ‘me’, just a fresher looking ‘me’ which is exactly what I wanted to achieve. Thank you Dr. Elle!”
