Aesthetics treatment results, when should you top up?

Patients often ask us, when should I get my treatment topped up? The simple answer is every aesthetics treatment is different, therefore how long results last varies depending on the individual treatment itself.

To help you decide when you should come back to top up your treatment, we have created a frequency guide for you:

Fillers

All our fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, although different fillers are used for different facial areas. They are soft tissue implants that can have buildable results, therefore you can either allow your treatment to naturally wear off before repeating treatment or gradually build on your results.

How long the results last can vary per individual, depending on factors such as exposure to heat, metabolism or the amount the individual exercises and results tend to last longer with repeat treatments.

Lips

Results for lip filler can last up to 12 months depending on the patient, however we recommend repeating this treatment every 6-8 months to maintain your desired outcome.

Cheeks, tear trough, chin and jawline

Good news if you love cheek, tear trough, chin or jawline filler! This treatment typically lasts up to a year in most patients, so we only recommend you top up these procedures once every 12 months.

Toxin 

Anti-wrinkle injections get optimal results for 8 weeks then gradually start to wear off over the next 8 weeks, the subsequent treatment results tend to last longer each time. We suggest toxin treatment should be repeated every 3-4 months to continue seeing the wrinkle reducing benefits.

Profhilo

Profhilo is one of our favourite treatments, we love how much it can improve skin texture and firmness leaving a youthful glow. Most individuals undergo a series of two treatments a month apart as an initial treatment, then maintain their results with a single treatment six months later.

SkinPen Microneedling

With SkinPen you’ll need an initial course of 3-4 treatments to see changes and 6 courses to see vast improvements. Once these initial sessions have been completed, you’ll then only need to undergo top-ups once or twice every year.

Microdermabrasion

For this treatment we suggest an initial 4-6 sessions, this enables time for oil secretion, fine lines, pigmentation and scarring to improve, your body will then get into a routine of receiving this treatment. You’ll then only need to repeat treatment every 3-4 month afterwards.

Medi-facials

The results from medi-facials are almost instant, you can see improvements from day one. However, if you’re hoping for more dramatic results, we normally recommend a course of 4-6 individual sessions that will ultimately improve dehydration, oiliness, texture and oxygenation in the skin.

Chemical peels

Results from chemical peels depend on the depth of the peel chosen by the patient, although most clients typically see changes from a course of 4-6 treatments, following this we then recommend you repeat the treatment once or twice every year.
