Perioral lines - often called smoker’s lines or lip lines - are one of the most common concerns we treat at The Bronte Clinic. These fine vertical lines above the upper lip can subtly age the mouth, even when the rest of the face still feels youthful. And despite the name, you don’t need to be a smoker to develop them.

The good news? You also don’t need drastic treatments to soften them.

At The Bronte Clinic, we take a holistic, regenerative approach to facial aesthetics. Our focus is always on enhancing skin quality and restoring a fresher, more rested appearance - never a frozen or over-filled look.

We used Skin Boosters to reat these particular perioral lines. Injectable skin boosters deeply hydrate and improve elasticity, softening vertical lip lines without adding any volume. We particularly love Viscoderm Hydrobooster for a natural, refined result.

Whether you’re hoping to prevent early lip lines or treat more established ones, our aesthetic doctors and nurse will guide you towards the most natural-looking, confidence-boosting outcome.

Wondering what to expect during your consultation at The Bronte Clinic? 💭

Your aesthetic journey begins long before any treatment - it begins with a thorough, thoughtful consultation designed to understand your skin, your goals, and your overall wellbeing.

Our approach is grounded in holistic, natural-looking rejuvenation. Here is what you can expect during your appointment:

🩺 1. A detailed medical + skin assessment
We take the time to explore your medical history, lifestyle, skin concerns and long-term goals to ensure every recommendation is safe, appropriate and tailored specifically to you.

🧴 2. Facial analysis & personalised treatment planning
We will assess skin quality, facial structure, symmetry and ageing patterns to design a bespoke plan that enhances - never changes - your natural features.

💬 3. Space to ask questions
Your consultation is a conversation. We explain every option clearly, outline expected results, downtime and costs, and help you make informed decisions with complete confidence.

🌿 4. A refined, regenerative aesthetic philosophy

We don’t believe in dramatic transformations. Instead, we focus on subtle, long-lasting improvements using evidence-based treatments such as:

• Anti-Wrinkle Injections
• Polynucleotides
• Broadband Light (BBL)
• Morpheus8
• Profhilo & Profhilo Structura
• JULÄINE™
• Medical Microneedling
• Chemical Peels

Everything we do is designed to support healthier skin, restore youthful structure and deliver results that look beautifully natural - always, unmistakably you.

✨ Have you met our new Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Alpa Kanji? ✨

Many of you know how carefully we grow our team - it is essential that every clinician reflects our values, our warmth, and our approach to patient care. Alpa embodies all of this and more.

Dr Fiona first worked with Alpa over 15 years ago at St Barts, where she was one of her junior doctors. Even then, her kind, caring and meticulous approach stood out. Today, she is a Consultant Dermatologist at St Thomas’ Hospital, a Medical Advisory Board member for the National Eczema Society, and holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge - with ongoing research interests. Her career is truly outstanding.

But beyond her impressive expertise, Alpa is one of life’s genuinely lovely people - a fantastic doctor who takes time to listen, and offers sensible, practical, evidence-based advice. We feel incredibly lucky to have her join us.

With Dr Kanji on board, The Bronte Clinic now offers specialist medical dermatology consultations alongside our aesthetic treatments, ensuring the highest standard of holistic skin care. We can support our patients with:

• Medical dermatology appointments (eczema, psoriasis, acne, vitiligo, pigmentation, rashes, hair loss)
• Mole checks
• Skin cancer screening

Winter skin doesn’t have to mean dry, tight or dull - at The Bronte Clinic, we keep things simple, effective and sustainable.

Here are a few easy switches to help your skin survive the chilly season ❄️✨

1️⃣ Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser
Skip foaming formulas that strip the skin barrier. Try: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, or Avène Extremely Gentle Cleansing Lotion.

2️⃣ Use lukewarm water
Washing in very hot water can aggravate skin dryness - use lukewarm water and pat yourself dry.

3️⃣ Upgrade your moisturiser
Look for hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, shea butter or squalane. Great options include:
• Curél Intensive Moisturiser
• CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid Serum (cream-like + hydrating)
• SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore
• Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream

4️⃣ SPF is still essential
UVA rays pe*****te clouds year-round. We love Eucerin Oil Defence as well as La Roche Posay UV air for their light consistency and effective protection.

5️⃣ Don’t forget your body
Gentle exfoliation + hydration is key. Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion (with lactic acid, allantoin + glycerin) is an amazing, budget-friendly option.

If you are an existing patient, all products are available via our Get Harley skincare concierge.

Do you want personalised guidance? Book a Zoom or in-clinic consultation with one of our medical team. ✨

✨ We’ve been featured in The Handbook ✨

Dr Fiona McCarthy sat down with their editorial team to dive into all things winter skin. With 25+ years of medical expertise as an NHS consultant physician, Dr Fiona shares her evidence-based approach to navigating colder weather - from the investments worth making to the treatments she recommends.

❄️ So… should you switch up your skincare routine when the temperature drops, and what are our cold-weather heroes in clinic?

The top 3 concerns we see most in clinic… 👇✨

1️⃣ Frown lines (“11s”)
The most common! Skincare helps, but wrinkle injections are the quickest and most effective way to soften them with minimal downtime.

2️⃣ Looking tired
Often linked to the eye + mid-face area. This can be due to volume loss, hollowness or dehydrated under-eye skin. Polynucleotides work brilliantly to restore hydration and quality here.

3️⃣ “I’ve lost my glow”
We always start with simplifying your skincare routine - effective products over clutter. Then treatments like BBL can lift radiance, boost dewiness and improve overall skin health.

✨ A personalised consultation is key - there is rarely one single cause, and often a gentle, layered approach gives the most natural and confident results.

Come and visit us today to see how we can help you:

✨ Wrinkle treatments: the subtle refresh that keeps you looking like you - just smoother, softer, and well-rested.

While typically used in the upper third of the face - think frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet - it can also be used in other areas to address both aesthetic and functional concerns.

- Recovery Time: None - you can return to your day immediately
- Longevity: Results typically last 3-6 months

Whether you are treating existing lines or preventing new ones from forming, wrinkle injections at The Bronte Clinic offer refined and natural looking results- without that dreaded "frozen" appearance.

At The Bronte Clinic, we’re passionate about treatments that work with your skin - not against it. JULÄINE™ is a powerful new biostimulator designed to restore firmness, improve skin quality, and rejuvenate naturally, without altering your facial features.

💉 How it works:

JULÄINE™ uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to gently activate your skin’s own fibroblast cells - stimulating collagen and elastin production to rebuild strength, structure, and elasticity from within.

Why we love it:
✔️ Long-lasting, gradual results that evolve over time (up to two years)
✔️ Improves texture, tone, and firmness for naturally lifted skin
✔️ Reduces fine lines and restores definition - especially in the mid and lower face
✔️ Biocompatible, safe, and clinically proven
✔️ Can be combined with other regenerative treatments for enhanced results

This isn’t about quick fixes or changing your face - it’s about supporting your skin to age beautifully, confidently, and on your own terms.

💫 Discover JULÄINE™ at The Bronte Clinic and experience skin rejuvenation that feels as natural as it looks.
