- Lines and wrinkles
Treatment for lines and wrinkles begins with a consultation.
Danielle assesses your skin, what concerns you and what you are hoping for, then talks through the options that may be appropriate. Botox may be one of them, where it is clinically suitable. Nothing is agreed until you have the information you need and have decided for yourself.
What happens at a lines and wrinkles consultation.
The consultation is an unhurried conversation and assessment, at an appointment arranged with you in Surrey. Danielle looks at your skin and the lines that concern you, asks what you are hoping for, and assesses whether treatment is appropriate for you. She explains what each option can and cannot do, what it involves, and what it costs.
The outcome may be a treatment plan, a different option from the one you had in mind, or no treatment at all. If something is not right for you, or is unlikely to give you what you are hoping for, you will be told. No treatment takes place at the consultation itself, and nothing goes ahead until you have decided.
What may be discussed, including Botox
Which of these is appropriate, if any, depends on the assessment. This is information, not a menu.
Botox
Botox is a prescription-only medicine. It can only be supplied against a prescription, following an assessment of your suitability by an appropriately qualified prescriber. It is not advertised, it cannot be booked on its own, and a consultation does not automatically result in Botox treatment. Where it is clinically appropriate, Danielle explains what it is, what it involves, what to expect and the alternatives, so that you can decide.
What prescription-only means for youDermal fillers
For some concerns, a dermal filler may be discussed instead of, or as well as, other options. Whether it is appropriate, and where, is decided individually at consultation.

Where the concern is skin quality rather than movement lines, microneedling or PRP may be more appropriate. Both are assessed and discussed in the same way.
About microneedling and PRPNo treatment
Sometimes the honest answer is that no treatment is appropriate, or that what you are hoping for is unlikely to be achieved. If that is the case, Danielle will say so, and where she can, point you towards the right place to ask.
Prices are not published. They are confirmed with you at consultation, once it is clear what is appropriate for you.
Botox: a prescription-only medicine.
Botox is a brand name for a botulinum toxin type A medicine. It is a prescription-only medicine, which means it can only be supplied against a prescription written by an appropriately qualified prescriber after an assessment of your suitability. That assessment is the purpose of the consultation.
In practice: you cannot book Botox as a treatment on its own; it is not advertised or sold as a package or offer; and a consultation does not commit you to anything. If Botox is appropriate for you, you will be told what it is, what it involves, what to expect, what the alternatives are and what it costs, and you decide.

Lines, wrinkles and Botox
The questions people researching this treatment usually ask. Anything clinical is answered by Danielle at your consultation.
Do you offer Botox?
Botox may be one of the options discussed at a lines and wrinkles consultation, where it is clinically appropriate for you. It is a prescription-only medicine, so it is not booked directly and is not advertised. The consultation always comes first.
Can I book Botox without a consultation?
No. Suitability has to be assessed first, and a prescription-only medicine can only be supplied following that assessment. The consultation is the first appointment.
Does a consultation mean I will be treated?
No. The consultation is an assessment and a conversation. It may lead to a treatment plan, to a different option, or to no treatment. You decide once you have the information, and you will be told honestly if something is not right for you.
Where does the consultation take place?
Appointments available across Surrey. Location details confirmed when arranging your appointment. Home appointments may be available by arrangement. Additional travel charges may apply. Whether a treatment is appropriate to carry out at home is confirmed at consultation.
How much does it cost?
Prices are not published. They are confirmed with you at consultation, once it is clear what is appropriate for you.
