“It is essential we remain unique and enhance our own natural beauty.”
Aesthetic medicine is a new and exciting field in modern medicine. Using minimally invasive procedures we can reduce the effects of ageing whilst maintaining a healthy looking appearance.
“It is essential we remain unique and enhance our own natural beauty.”
My ethos is, “less is more.” Be the best version of yourself, feel more confident, refreshed and revitalised, with natural looking results.
About me
I have worked as a registered nurse for 25 years. I have worked in a variety of roles within the NHS and additionally hold a degree in Public Health. I am a nurse prescriber and have specialised in aesthetic medicine exclusively for 19 years.
As a registered nurse with the NMC, I am required to attend regular training and development. I am an Independent Prescriber and a member of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN).
My interest in aesthetics grew as I discovered certain aspects of ageing can have a negative impact on confidence and body image. I am a firm believer in embracing individuality and promoting natural-looking results.
Aesthetic Procedures
I am based in Heswall, on the Wirral, where I work from a clinic that is designed for medical consultations and procedures. You will receive a confidential and professional service in a private, relaxing, and comfortable environment.
All appointments require an initial consultation which is free of charge.
To respect patient confidentiality, I do not use images of my work on my website or social media. I do have a selection of before/after photos that I am able to show during your consultation, upon request.
Wrinkle Smoothing
Wrinkle Relaxing Treatment
Botulinum Toxin Type A (often known by the brand name Botox, Azzalure or Bocouture) is very effective at smoothing facial lines and wrinkles that have been caused by repetitive movement of the upper face.
Relaxation of the muscle following injection reduces this muscle activity and helps to stop the skin forming those creases and lines, in time the lines will appear smoother and reduced in appearance.
During consultation, a full history will be taken, risks and complications of treatment will be discussed and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions. This is to ensure you are fully informed prior to consenting to treatment.
FAQs
Is it painful?
The procedure takes about ten minutes during which an extremely fine, short needle is used to inject the botox into the appropriate area. This may cause some slight but very brief discomfort. The area may have some redness and swelling which normally resolves within an hour. Usually clients are able to go about their daily activities immediately afterwards.
Will I look frozen?
No, the purpose of these injections is to soften and enhance your features only.
How long does it last?
The treatment normally starts to take effect between 3-14 days. The effects normally last between 3-5 months, when you will start to notice an ability to move the muscles more freely.
How much is the treatment?
Prices start at £150.
Micro-needling
with EDS DermaStamp
The EDS Regenerate treatment is an electronic, micro-skin needling procedure that stimulates your skin so that it will regenerate and repair itself naturally, resulting in smoother, brighter, younger and healthier-looking skin.
It can be used as a key treatment in rejuvenating skin with the following conditions:
- acne scars
- photo-damaged and ageing skin
- facial and décolleté lines and wrinkles
- stretch marks
FAQs
What happens during the procedure?
During the procedure, thousands of micro medical needle columns are inserted into your skin. These columns will stimulate the skin, encouraging it to regenerate and repair itself. They’ll then rapidly close so that your skin can quickly recover.
Following the procedure, your skin will start to naturally regenerate and repair itself. This will take some time as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and the dermis layer is rejuvenated.
Is it painful?
While the EDS Regenerate procedure produces some discomfort, your practitioner will normally apply a topical anaesthetic and to the treatment area beforehand.
How many procedures will I need?
This will vary depending on numerous factors and can be discussed during the consultation. It can take up to six weeks before you see signs of regeneration and repair, although the process will continue to work over the following months, leaving you with natural, long-lasting results.
We recommend that your EDS Regenerate treatment consists of three procedures, approximately six weeks apart.
How much does the procedure cost?
EDS Dermastamp: £200
Course of 3 (4 weeks apart): £450
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid
Dermal fillers are used to enhance the natural contours of the face, increasing lift to areas that may have lost volume, softening lines, wrinkles and improving overall skin quality.
A very commonly used dermal filler is hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance found in the body which diminishes as part of the ageing process. Some of the brand names used in clinic are Restylane® and Juvederm®.
FAQs
How does it work?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugary gel-like substance that works by plumping and lifting tissue that may have lost volume due to ageing. Additionally, it attracts water to the skin to improve and revitalise.
How long does it last?
The dermal fillers used in clinic are all temporary and will typically last from 6-18 months depending upon the individual patient and product used.
What happens if I have a reaction?
It’s extremely unusual to have a reaction to HA filler, however, if you are concerned seek medical advice as soon as possible. A medical practitioner can administer the necessary treatment required. Hyaluronic acid can be reversed by the injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
How much will it cost?
A 1ml syringe costs £210. Multiple 1ml syringes may be used.
Chemical Peel
The Perfect Peel®
A chemical peel can stimulate the production of collagen resulting in firmer skin and assist in slowing down the ageing process and preventing wrinkles.
It can help erase fine lines and wrinkles, reduce enlarged pores, build collagen and elastin which help to tighten and firm the skin. In addition, it can reduce or even eliminate hyperpigmentation and melasma. Acne and acne scars can be dramatically improved.
The peel helps to remove or reduce:
- sun damage
- age spots
- reduce pore size
- soften fine lines and wrinkles
- hyperpigmentation
- acne skin conditions
- melasma
The Perfect Peel® is a blended peel containing glutathione; the ultimate antioxidant, kojic acid, TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol and a blend of minerals and vitamins.
FAQs
Does The Perfect Peel® burn?
The patient may feel a slight stinging or tingling sensation which will subside after just a few seconds. Numbing takes place once the first pass of The Perfect Peel® solution is applied. A fan or cool breeze may be used for comfort.
Is sun exposure permitted after a peel?
Sun exposure should be limited if not avoided before and during the peel process to avoid uneven exposure.
How many treatments are necessary to resolve acne scars?
Depending on the severity of the scarring, a series of 3-4 peels every four weeks will be needed for optimum results. The number of treatments will also depend on how vigorous the layers are applied.
How much will it cost?
Each procedure costs £300.
Sculptra®
Injectable poly-L-lactic acid
Sculptra® is an FDA approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen. It gives you deep tissue regeneration to help reduce the signs of ageing.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra® works to replace lost collagen and replenish volume in your face more subtly over time giving you a more natural-looking appearance. Sculptra®’s main ingredient is Poly-L Lactic Acid (PLLA).
FAQs
Are the results immediate?
No, Sculptra® is designed to deliver its unique effects, with an average of 2 to 3 sessions, over the course of a few months. Because the production of new collagen formation is a gradual process, each treatment session will yield results that are more noticeable.
The number of injections at each of the treatment sessions will vary depending on the degree of correction and the treatment plan determined by you and your medical practitioner.
How much will it cost?
£300 per vial. Up to 6 vials may be required.

Tear Trough Treatment
Under eye filler
Do you suffer from hollow under eyes, fine lines, dark circles or subtle eye bags? The under-eye area typically loosens over time and creates dark lines, bags or deeper eye sockets.
A needle or cannula can be used to inject dermal filler to the area using advanced techniques leaving you looking and feeling like a younger version of yourself.
FAQs
What is Tear Trough Filler?
Tear Trough Filler treatment is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting dermal filler into specific areas around the eyes to replace lost volume. This treatment creates a smoother more radiant skin with a reduction in deep wrinkles and dark circles.Tear troughs can be brought on by the ageing process as the collagen production slows down and the skin thins and sags. Tear troughs can also be genetic, appearing from a young age and becoming more noticeable as you age.
How long do tear trough fillers last?
Most tear trough filler treatment results lasts 6-18 months, depending on the individual.
Am I suitable for tear trough filler?
Not everyone is suitable for this treatment. You might be an ideal candidate for tear trough filler but a prior consultation is essential to discuss suitability.
How much does tear trough filler treatment cost?
£350
Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Using dermal fillers
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is an alternative to surgery, avoiding the associated cost, pain and risk.
This procedure can offer outstanding results using dermal filler, ensuring results are natural, non-permanent and with no down time. The results of the treatment can be seen immediately and last for up to one year.
FAQs
What is non-surgical rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty corrects the nose using long-lasting dermal fillers without the need for costly surgery. The most common problem that people seek treatment for is the dorsal hump: this is the classic bump on the bridge of the nose that can give it a hook-like appearance. It is also possible to lift the tip of the nose by injecting the base of the tip with filler: the nose is given more support and the droop in the tip is lessened.
Why might someone typically choose this treatment?
There are a variety of reasons why someone may choose to have their nose corrected. Some people could have a noticeable bump or kink in their nose while others might have an asymmetry.
What side effects might I experience?
Side effects of this treatment are fairly minimal. You may experience some bruising and sensitivity around the area, or light swelling is common for the first couple of days after treatment.
How much does the non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment cost?
The treatment cost is £350.
Microsclerotherapy
Thread vein treatment
Microsclerotherapy is a safe and long-established treatment for thread veins in the legs.
About 50% of people will develop thread veins at some point in their lives. Most often, this is due to genetics, or jobs that involve standing for long periods of time. They are unlikely to cause any symptoms or medical problems, but they can make people feel self-conscious.
Microsclerotherapy involves the injection of a non-toxic irritant solution directly into the problem veins. This causes the vein walls to stick together and prevents blood passing through. Over a period of weeks the blood vessel is gradually reabsorbed by the body and either reduces or disappears entirely.
FAQs
What happens during the treatment?
I will clean the skin thoroughly and then inject the veins with a tiny amount of sclerosant. This is not usually uncomfortable.
N.B. You will be asked to bring a pair of support tights with you to wear straight after the treatment.
What results can I expect?
The results are not immediate. The veins may look bruised and darker before they improve and the treatment may need to be repeated at 8-12 week intervals, dependent on the severity and size of the vein. However, after a few treatments, most patients see a significant improvement and veins that are successfully treated should not reappear.
Please note this procedure treats existing veins. It will not stop new thread veins from developing over time.
Is there any special aftercare required?
You will need to wear support tights for a week after the treatment. We will also ask you to take a 10-minute walk immediately following the procedure.
We advise you to avoid high impact exercise, hot baths, showers, saunas and sun beds for 2 weeks and no waxing for 4 weeks. We also ask that you inform us of any forthcoming long-haul travel plans.
How much does the treatment cost?
£150 for the initial appointment, and £100 for the follow-up appointment.
