Anti-Wrinkle Results 💉

Upper Face Treatment. Advanced Assessment Approach

This client presented with dynamic lines across the forehead and frown area. There was also some compensatory muscle activity contributing to the forehead lines.

A full facial assessment was performed at rest and in movement to assess:

• Natural brow position
• Forehead muscle strength and pattern
• Frown muscle dominance
• Overall upper face balance

Treatment was performed using botulinum toxin type A, with conservative and strategically placed dosing. The aim was to soften movement, not freeze expression.

Treatment goals:
• Soften forehead and frown lines
• Maintain natural expression
• Preserve brow position
• Reduce excessive muscle activity

How anti-wrinkle works:
Botulinum toxin type A temporarily reduces muscle contraction by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles. Results develop gradually over a few days, with full effect typically seen at 10–14 days.

With anti-wrinkle treatments, results are not just about how many units are used. Injection depth, placement, and precise dose distribution are key to achieving balanced, natural outcomes.

$495 for this result.

Another beautiful clinical result following FPL treatment.

FPL uses high-intensity, broad-spectrum light to selectively target excess melanin within the skin. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented lesions, creating controlled thermal injury that breaks down unwanted pigmentation while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.

This process stimulates natural cellular turnover, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion and improved overall skin luminosity.

What to expect:
• Pigmented areas will temporarily darken
• Mild erythema and warmth for 3–4 hours post treatment
• Pigmentation will gradually shed off over 7–14 days
• Optimal results are typically seen at 2 weeks

Treatment time: 30 minutes
Investment: $400
Discomfort level: Minimal

FPL is ideal for treating sun damage, freckles, age spots and uneven skin tone.

The Lower Third & Facial Balance 📐

The lower third of the face (nose to chin) plays a huge role in overall facial harmony.
When lips are naturally thin or lose volume over time, the proportions of this area can become unbalanced.

This is where the Golden Ratio comes in.



Lips & the Golden Ratio 👄

In balanced facial proportions:
• The lower lip is naturally fuller than the upper
• The lips sit in harmony with the chin and jawline
• Light reflects evenly across the lips, creating a healthy, youthful appearance



💉 How Dermal Filler Helps

Dermal filler isn’t necessarily about “big lips” , it’s about restoring proportion.

We use strategic amounts of filler to:
• Support lip tissue
• Improve upper to lower lip balance
• Enhance lip shape
• Create symmetry
• Recreate volume where it’s been lost
• Define the cupids bow and vermillion border

*photo taken before and immediately after treatment. Best results are seen in two weeks.

FPL

Fotona + Pulsed Light (FPL) therapy is a non-invasive, light-based treatment designed to target unwanted pigmentation such as sun spots, age spots, redness, freckles, and uneven skin tone. FPL works by delivering controlled light energy into the skin, where melanin and haemaglobin absorbs the energy and breaks down into smaller particles that are naturally eliminated by the body.

Indications:
• Sun damage and solar lentigines
• Freckles and age spots
• Uneven skin tone and photodamage
• Broken Capillaries and generalised redness

Treatment Details:
• Procedure time: 30 minutes
• Onset: Pigmentation darkens initially, then flakes off within 7–14 days
• Downtime: Minimal

Clinical Benefits:
• Targets pigment without damaging surrounding tissue
• Improves skin clarity and tone
• Enhances overall skin texture and radiance
• Non-invasive

Safety & Suitability:
A thorough skin assessment is required to determine Fitzpatrick skin type suitability, as FPL is not appropriate for all skin tones or active skin conditions.

Book a professional consultation to assess your pigmentation concerns and suitability for IPL treatment.

Results vary and depend on skin type, pigment depth, and adherence to post-treatment care.

Fresh Foreheads 💉

Clinical Overview

Forehead lines are caused by repetitive muscle contraction over time. Anti Wrinkle works by temporarily inhibiting acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, reducing muscle activity and allowing the overlying skin to smooth.

Indications:
• Dynamic horizontal forehead lines
• Prevention of static line formation
• Adjunct treatment with glabellar (frown)

Treatment Details:
• Procedure time: 10–15 minutes
• Onset: 3–7 days
• Peak effect: 10–14 days
• Duration: 3–4 months
• Downtime: None

Clinical Benefits:
• Reduces dynamic and early static wrinkles
• Improves skin texture and facial harmony
• Prevents progression of deeper lines
• Allows controlled, natural movement when dosed appropriately

Safety & Precision:
Treatment should be tailored to individual anatomy, muscle strength and brow position. A detailed consultation and medical assessment are essential prior to treatment.

Book a professional consultation to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Advanced Ultrasound-Guided Lip Filler Training with Katie

For Experienced Injectors Only

We are proud to introduce an exclusive advanced training in ultrasound-guided lip filler, designed for experienced cosmetic injectors who want to take their practice to the highest level of safety, precision, and aesthetic excellence.

Ultrasound is rapidly becoming the gold standard in aesthetic medicine. It allows clinicians to visualise facial anatomy in real time, including arteries, veins, muscle, and tissue planes, rather than relying solely on surface landmarks and theoretical anatomy.

This means you are no longer guessing. You are seeing exactly where you are injecting.

Why ultrasound matters in lip filler:

• Real-time visualisation of the superior and inferior labial arteries
• Accurate identification of tissue depth and planes
• Customised injection strategies based on each individual patient’s anatomy
• Reduced risk of complications
• Greater control over filler placement for smoother, more natural results
• Improved symmetry and precision
• Ability to assess existing filler and manage complications more effectively

Ultrasound-guided injecting represents a fundamental shift from “blind technique” to image guided precision medicine.

This advanced masterclass is designed for practitioners who already have a strong clinical foundation and want to move beyond traditional techniques into next generation aesthetic practice.

This training is suitable for:
• Experienced cosmetic injectors
• Practitioners with advanced facial anatomy knowledge
• Practitioners serious about safety, excellence, and clinical mastery

This training is NOT suitable for beginners.
An advanced understanding of facial anatomy and physiology is essential.

This workshop offers hands on experience with industry leading technology in a high level, small group setting.

Limited places available.

Before and immediately after 0.6ml Dermal Filler to the lips 💉

Swelling is to be expected after lip filler and will subside over the next 2-3 days.

We use a hyaluronic acid-based Dermal Filler designed to:

• Restore lost volume
• Improve shape and symmetry
• Enhance hydration and definition

At our clinic, we use a custom multi-layering technique, where small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler are placed at different depths of the lip for the best, safest results.

Over the next few days the swelling will reduce, the product will integrate, and the lips will settle into a more natural, balanced result. Final outcome is visible at around 2 weeks 💋

Always about precision, proportion and subtle enhancement, not overfilling.

Marionette Dermal Filler
One of our most popular treatment areas.

Marionette lines (the folds that run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin) can give the face a heavy, down-turned or tired appearance.
Strategically placed dermal filler helps to soften these lines, restore gentle support, and rebalance the lower face.

✨ Why clients love this treatment:
• Softens shadows and deep folds
• Lifts the corners of the mouth for a fresher look
• Restores lost volume in the lower face
• Subtle, natural-looking results
• Immediate improvement with minimal downtime

This is one of those treatments where less is more. Our approach is always conservative, anatomical, and tailored—so you still look like you, just refreshed.

If marionette lines are something you’ve noticed creeping in, this treatment can make a beautiful difference.
