Our Treatments

• We understand that the majority of people do not seek aesthetic treatments in order to look unrecognisable. The aim, we often hear from our patients, is to subtly enhance the natural features to provide a little confidence boost, or to finally get over a nagging insecurity. For many, this means simply no longer having to overdraw their lips, saving time contouring their cheekbones or nose, or using less concealer under the eyes to hide the tiredness. Others may seek filler or toxin treatments preventatively to delay the ageing process. Whatever the aim of your aesthetics journey, these small changes can make a huge difference to our mood and the way we carry ourselves. This is what it is all about. A good facial aesthetics practitioner will have a working understanding of how to treat each facial feature both in isolation and as part of the whole face to refine and create harmony, while maintaining the natural character and quirks we all have and love.
• At Dr. Sehrish Clinics, our doctors have trained with the best in the industry and brought together the latest techniques from around the world to be able to cater to each specific patient’s needs. Whilst we can deliver more dramatic results when requested, we specialise and take pride in subtle, natural enhancements with minimal post-operative downtime.

All non-surgical aesthetics treatments carry with them an inherent risk profile. The three factors key in mitigating these risks are 1. The practitioner, 2. The techniques used, and 3. The products used.

• Our practitioners: We are a fully-insured doctor-led clinic with combined surgical and clinical experience of over 30 years. With backgrounds in Dental Surgery and further training in several specialist-led advanced technique courses, we have curated a team with unmatched skill and artistic flair.
• Our techniques: Facial aesthetics is a fast-changing industry with opinions and guidelines on safety and best practice constantly being challenged and updated. At Dr Sehrish Clinics we place great emphasis on continued professional development in order to keep up with these changes to be able to provide our patients with the very latest safe and evidence-based techniques.
• Our products: We only use the top five brands of approved, high quality Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers. These are fully reversible, have a great safety profile and have been used for decades without any issues. These fillers are also dissolvable using the naturally-occurring enzyme Hyaluronidase, which we always keep at hand should we need it.

Some of the risks from dermal fillers include but are not limited to: Injection risks (pain, bleeding, bruising swelling), risk of infection, and allergic reactions. These are extremely rare. If you are concerned, please discuss this with your practitioner before booking.

• Pain from injectable treatments varies depending upon the area being treated and individual patient’s pain threshold. Our aim is to help you feel as comfortable as possible by numbing the area being treated. This will ensure you have a more pleasant experience, and also helps us do our job to the best of our ability.
• As a bare minimum, topical anaesthetic cream is always used to numb the area being treated. The fillers we use also contain local anaesthetic so the area will become more numb as we inject.
• In addition to this, at Dr Sehrish Clinics we take full advantage of the broad skills profiles of our practitioners who are all qualified Dental Surgeons. As such, we also offer patients a dental block (the injection you’d get at the dentists before a filling) when treated areas such as the lips. This is a quick injection which goes inside the mouth and produces a complete numbing effect as well as constricts the local blood vessels to prevent bleeding and bruising. This is especially useful where topical cream does not fully penetrate the full thickness of the tissues.

Dermal Filler

• The facial structures are very highly vascularised and as such, swelling and bruising is the most common side effect from dermal fillers. These side effects are most noticeable during the first 48 hours post-treatment and gradually resolve over the next 2 weeks.
• No practitioner can guarantee that this will not happen as it is impossible to predict and depends on various patient factors such as age, how prone you are to bruising etc.
• The treatments most commonly associated with swelling and bruising are lip fillers, however our doctors use specialist techniques which allow us to minimise these side effects as much as possible. Needle techniques, although causing more tissue trauma and therefore swelling/bruising, are great for enhancing lip On the other hand, cannula techniques can be used where appropriate to minimise tissue trauma and enhance lip volume. Our doctors will choose which techniques are most appropriate on a case-by-case basis and advise patients on post-operative instructions to help minimise side effects.
• Well-placed dermal fillers in the rest of the face

Toxin Treatments

• The most common side effect from toxin treatments is bruising, which is most likely to happen around the eyes (e.g. crows-feet treatment) since the skin is thinnest here.
• Having said that, in the majority of toxin cases there is very little downtime and many of our patients pop in during their lunch breaks as the procedure is so quick and the needle marks easy to overlook.
• should be largely undetectable.
