Lip and dermal fillers for Portsmouth, 15 minutes from the city centre

Dermal and lip fillers for Portsmouth patients

Lip fillers are the most searched aesthetic treatment in Portsmouth and the one most often done badly, usually because nobody assessed the face before choosing the product.

Dermal and lip fillers here are placed by an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Independent Prescriber, in a clinic, and the same person assesses and treats you. Lip enhancement starts at £140. We also reverse work done elsewhere: filler dissolving starts at £120, and we see a fair amount of it from the city.

Filler is not always the answer to a face that looks tired. Volume loss in the cheeks or under the eyes can read as heaviness around the mouth, and treating the mouth then makes it worse.

Skin rejuvenation, microneedling and peels

Skin rejuvenation is a vague phrase covering several different treatments. Which one suits you depends on whether the problem is texture, pigmentation, laxity or dehydration.

Microneedling works on texture, pigmentation and scarring and starts at £125 for the face. Skin peels range from a light brightening peel at £45 to stronger medical-grade options. Polynucleotides, skin boosters and Profhilo work on skin quality, not shape. That is usually what people mean when they say their skin looks tired but not lined.

For many people the better place to start is medical-grade skincare and daily sun protection. It is slower and cheaper, and of all these options it is the one most likely to still be working in five years.

Acne and problem skin

Adult acne is common and persistent. On the high street it usually gets a facial and no plan.

As a prescriber-led clinic we can assess acne-prone skin, including whether it is acne at all. It may be rosacea, or a damaged barrier that a stronger product would make worse. Where acne has left scarring or pigmentation, those need treating in a particular order, and starting with the wrong one wastes months.

The skin consultation is complimentary.

Anti-wrinkle treatment, and what no clinic may advertise

Anti-wrinkle treatment for lines across the forehead, brows and eyes uses a prescription-only medicine. UK law does not permit any clinic to advertise prescription-only medicines to the public, name them or publish a price for them. A clinic that does is breaking the rules. Bear that in mind before judging a clinic by how much it tells you up front.

What we can do is assess you. An anti-wrinkle consultation is a face-to-face appointment where suitability is decided first, including whether treatment is appropriate at all. Jaw clenching and a heavy jawline are assessed the same way. Results vary between individuals.

Choosing a skin clinic near Portsmouth

Portsmouth has no shortage of places offering aesthetics. Price matters less than who assesses you and what happens when something goes wrong.

Ask any clinic three things. Is the person treating you the person who assessed you, or is a prescriber signing remotely for an injector they have never met? Is there a consultation before the treatment, or is the consultation the treatment? If a complication happens at ten at night, who answers the phone?
