Have a question?

Curious about aesthetic treatments? Here, we answer the most common questions about procedures, results, and safety. Whether you’re considering Botox, fillers, or skin boosters, our FAQs provide clear, trustworthy guidance to help you make informed decisions with confidence.

What is aesthetic medicine?

Aesthetic medicine focuses on treatments that improve appearance while supporting healthy, natural aging.

It includes options like wrinkle-relaxing injections, dermal fillers, skin boosters, and non-surgical lifting procedures. These treatments are performed by qualified medical professionals in a safe, clinical setting.

Will my results look natural?

Yes. Every treatment plan is personalised. The aim is not to change your features but to refresh and support them. Results are subtle and tailored to your individual face and aging process.

How long do treatments last?

This depends on the treatment:

Wrinkle-relaxing injections usually last 3–4 months.
Dermal fillers can last 6–18 months depending on the area and product used.
Skin boosters and biostimulators work gradually, often requiring a course of
treatments with long-term benefits.

Your doctor will guide you on what to expect for your specific plan.

Is it painful?

Most treatments cause only mild discomfort. Numbing creams or local anaesthetics are often used to make the procedure more comfortable. Many patients describe the experience as quick and tolerable.

Is there downtime?

Most patients can return to normal activities immediately. Some treatments may cause mild swelling, redness, or bruising for a few days. These effects are temporary and usually easy to cover with light makeup.

Who is a good candidate for treatment?

Anyone interested in subtle, natural results may be a candidate. A consultation is always required to discuss your medical history, concerns, and goals.

Together we decide on the safest, most effective plan for you.

Are the treatments safe?

Yes. All treatments are evidence-based and performed with medical-grade products by a qualified doctor. Safety is always the first priority, and risks or side effects will be explained in detail before any procedure.

What is the difference between Botulinum toxin and fillers?

B*tox relaxes specific facial muscles to soften expression lines like frown lines and crow’s feet.
Fillers replace lost volume and restore facial balance in areas such as the lips, cheeks, and jawline.

They can be used separately or together depending on your needs.

How soon will I see results?

Wrinkle-relaxing injections take 3–7 days to show full effect.
Fillers give immediate improvement, with final results visible once swelling settles.
Skin boosters and biostimulators build results gradually over weeks as they improve skin quality and stimulate collagen.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

This is discussed in a one-on-one consultation.

Every face is unique, and no single treatment suits everyone. After a medical assessment, your doctor will recommend options tailored to your goals and natural aging process.

Can I combine aesthetic treatments with GP care?

Yes. Dr Lujuan is both a general practitioner and an aesthetic doctor, so patients benefit from continuity of care. Medical and aesthetic needs are managed in a safe, holistic way.
