Profhilo is known in aesthetics as a 'skinbooster' what does that actually mean ? What it is is mixture of hyalluronic acid,vitamins, and proteins. Why do those who aspire to maintain their own beauty (like me) love Profhilo ? I think the answer are 1. Its quick to inject. 2. It is very safe (as we dont inject into deeper skin layers where blood vessels are. 3. It hydrates the skin and 'remodels.' 4. A boost which increased elasticity and laxity.5. Lastly it gives one a 'small lift'. The down sides are :- 1. Cost it is expensive I am currently offering 2 injections (the recommended treatments) for £450. The treatments are 4 weeks apart. You can opt for the whole injection in one treatment which is most cost effective (£400). The risk is that the effect wont last as long. 2. Profhilo lasts only 6months, long acting fillers can remain for up to 2 years. #profhilo #boosters #cosmetics #aesthetics #hampshire #petersfield

A little diversion from creative cosmetics. Why ? Well those of you who know me will know that I had to retire from full time NHS work because of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and depression. Thanks to advances in medical therapy I am much much better. As a pharmacist, I did understand the medication but taking them was another experience. Here are some thoughts :- A cocktail of medications can allow you to select from medications with different actions. This was the pain is challenged from all sites. Taking a number of medications might reduce your chance of side effects from a single one. Many CRPS will be taking pregabalin or gabapentin which reduce how we perceive pain. They are difficult medications to take. I advise start really low and increase every 3 to 5 days, take the bigger dose at night. The dreadful sleepiness will wear off after 3 to 4weeks. If you can bare it keep taking, although some just cant . #pregabalin #gabapentin #CRPS #pain #neuropathic #doctor #pharmacist #painconsults

They are often quite expensive and what real difference will they make ? There is not a singular answer that will answer this. Although what is true is that dermal fillers injected properly can totally transform your appearance. For example, if all your life you have aspired or wished to have great cheekbone definition. Have you alway tried the blusher trick ? Proper placed fillers will give you that definition. Plus if you select a product that lasts longer - for example @juvedermvoluma the effects can last up to 2 Years ! #filler #aesthetics #cosmetics #cheekbones #petersfield #hampshire

This is a much more challenging question than you think. This is because it depends on many factors your age, your muscles mass, the shape of your forehead, the bulk of your frown. Plus where are what you want from treatment. Some seek Botox for lower face to reduce the down turn of a smile or to stop bunny lines, other want a flat forehead and lastly some clients only want a brow lift.
