FACIAL AESTHETICS
We provide a full range of non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments such as injectable cosmetics for wrinkle relaxants, therapeutic injectables, dermal filler treatments for restoring lost volume, enhancement of lips and jaw line and skinboosters.
WRINKLE RELAXANTS
ANTI-WRINKLE &
THERAPEUTIC TREATMENTS
For anti-wrinkle injections, we use Botulinum Toxin Type A in small amounts to relax the facial muscles. These injections are most commonly used for the upper part of the face and result in a fresher, smoother appearance.
These treatments are very popular worldwide and the products we use are one of the safest on the market.
We use Azzalure and Bocouture Botulinum Toxin Type A and these products have been used for more than 20 years in the medical field and have undergone years of clinical testing. As a result, they have been granted a licence in the UK from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency for the temporary improvements in the appearance of wrinkles.
Treatment takes about 10 minutes and is administered via small relatively painless injections into the areas of need. The treatment takes about 2-3 days to start working and the full effects are seen 2-3 weeks after the treatment. On average, treatment lasts from 3-6 months, however with repeated courses of the treatment it can last longer.
The treatment can also be used to:
- Correct high smile lines (gummy smile)
- Reduce wrinkles on the chin (orange peel appearance)
- Reduce excess sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the hands, feet, back, underarms, forehead
- Reduce tension headaches
- Grinding/clenching the teeth (bruxism)

DERMAL FILLERS
Dermal fillers are popular treatments for permanent static wrinkles and facial lines. They can also be used to enhance features (lips, nose, cheeks, or jaw line) or to increase volume and definition to areas which have lost it (tear troughs, chin, temples). There are a number of reasons why our skin loses its elasticity and structure, including weather, pollution, stress, ageing or weight loss.
The dermal fillers that we use (Belotero, Restylane) contain Hyaluronic Acid to replace this loss. They acts as a space filler and
Treatment is carried out once the area has been numbed with a topical solution for twenty minutes. The Aesthetic Practitioner uses the cannula technique for the majority of the treatments as it is the safest technique available. As well as being safe, the cannula technique reduces post-operative pain, increases healing after treatment and minimises the formation of scar tissue.
The possible side effects are redness, swelling, bruising, itching and tightness. These may last up to 7 days, however most clients experience minimal or no side effects.
The most common areas where dermal fillers are used includes:
- Lips (for volume and treating ‘smokers’ lines)
- Chin
- Marionette lines
- Jaw line
- Cheeks
- Tear Troughs
- Nose
- Temples
- Scar treatment

SKINBOOSTERS
Skinboosters are injections of hyaluronic acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals into the dermal layer of the skin to improve the quality of the skin which is done using a cannula. The hyaluronic acid molecules draw moisture into the skin, which improve hydration and overall plumpness of the skin.
Dr Le Sueur uses Pluryal Mesoline skinbooster which is a fully approved product to achieve the following effects:
- To improved overall skin quality in terms of hydration, elasticity, texture and radiance
- As a prevention of skin ageing
- To achieve immediate skin glow
- To improved fine lines especially around the mouth and under the eyes
- To improve uneven skin texture especially acne scars
