Your skin’s health is our priority – Let us help your natural beauty shine through.
DERMAL FILLERS
For deeper lines (e.g. between the corner of the nose and mouth) hollows and scars, fillers may be the answer. This procedure can be painful and so a local anaesthetic (cream or injection) is offered free of charge. Once the anaesthetic has effect, the dermal filler is injected under the skin to fill the depressions causing the lines.
Juvéderm Ultra® is a new filler that contains a local anaesthetic which makes the whole experience more comfortable during and after the procedure.
None of the dermal fillers that we use contain animal or bacteria derived products and so do not cause allergic reactions. Once in place, they are slowly absorbed and naturally cleared by the body. Depending on the filler used, the effects can last up to 12 months.
Fuller Lips (lip augmentation)
Dermal fillers (such as Restylane® and Juvéderm Ultra® ) can also be used to give your lips a fuller shape or correct unevenness as well as improving down-sloping mouth corners. Dr Townshend does not create “trout pouts” but rather aims to enhance and improve your natural shape.
FAQ's
Is it safe?
The fillers that we use do not contain animal or bacteria derived products and so immune reactions are not a feature. After treatment there may be swelling, bruising or tenderness around the treated area. If this does occur, it usually resolves in a matter of hours.
How do I know what type of filler I need?
The best product for you will depend on your area of concern and what you hope to achieve. The options will be discussed fully during your consultation to help you chose the right treatment for you.
How much does it cost?
This depends on the amount of filler required. Dr Townshend can give you an indication of how much you will need but this will differ from person to person. Prices start from £190.
Testimonials
"I don't like needles and was afraid that the procedure was going to hurt. All I felt were two pricks for the anaesthetic and not much else."
RW, Cambridge
"Looking like Leslie Ash was my real worry! Dr Townshend spent a lot of time explaining the procedure in words that I could understand which was really reassuring. Knowing that he's a proper surgeon was even better. He gave me the lips I've wanted for ages!"
BOTOX
Botox (Botulinum toxin) treatments to smooth lines around the eyes, forehead, lips and nose are hugely popular because they produce great results every time. Used for over 30 years they are painless, quick and extremely safe when in expert hands. Results are seen after just a few days and last at least three months, longer with regular treatments.

How it works
As the many muscles in your face contract to form expressions, they wrinkle and crease the overlying skin. Over the years, these wrinkles increase in severity and number. Botox® stops these muscles contracting as strongly and so lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The use of Botox® early on can help reduce the number and severity of future lines.
Because Botox® affects contraction of muscles, it is used to treat expressive lines (those that are seen when we use our facial muscles). It will not improve lines that are present at all times though dermal fillers may be able to help with these.
Areas that can be treated
We price our Botox® by the area. The popular areas treated are:
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes which worsen when smiling)
Horizontal forehead lines
Glabella frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
Other areas can be treated such as bunny lines (at the top of the nose), lines around the lips and neck bands.

MEDICAL MICRODERMABRASION
If you wish to make you skin more smooth and radiant and also reduce fine lines and unsightly scarring, medical microdermabrasion is for you.
How does it work?
Small particles of aluminium oxide are used to exfoliate the skin by removing the outer layer of dead cells to reveal your soft skin beneath. The action of the crystals pummelling your skin stimulates fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and elastin to give you a more youthful appearance.
A single medical microdermabrasion will produce visible results leaving your skin fresh and wonderfully smooth. Make-up will sit more evenly on your skin and you will need less of it. A course of medical microdermabrasion will do wonders for your skin and can improve:
• Fine lines
• Tone and texture
• Acne and acne scarring
• Large pores and blackheads
• Pigmentation
• Stretch marks.
In addition, medical microdermabrasion can be used in combination with IPL or skin peels, as removing the outer layer of cells enables the light or peel to work more effectively.
Premium skin products are used before and after the treatment (including Agera® Recovery Complex with Growth Peptides and Obagi Professional-C Serum). These are free of charge so that you get the very best results and the pampering that you deserve.
How much does it cost?
Prices start from as little as £55 per treatment.
