At The Hestia Clinic, we very much take a bespoke approach to all our clients - whether you have started your journey with us to improve your skins general health, to add to your overall confidence or if you have an occasion in mind that you want to prepare for.

That said, there are always those perfect go-to treatments that prove popular with our clients in the lead up to their event. Whether it’s a wedding, special birthday or big holiday we have a number of treatments that we find ourselves recommending time and time again for their foolproof ability to make you look and feel your most confident… Because life is too short to feel anything but!

Chemical Peels

The word ‘peel’ sounds scary right? We are not oranges or bananas - or snakes that need to shed their skin! Fear not, most chemical peels don’t actually result in your skin physically peeling and often there is little to no downtime after a chemical peel facial.

Another perk of a chemical peel is that it is not a ‘one size fits all’ treatment. Peels vary in depth, from superficial to deep, and the choice depends on the specific skin concerns and desired outcomes - they can actually be very versatile in treating a range of skin concerns, including:

**Acne and Acne Scaring**: Reducing acne breakouts and improving the appearance of acne scars.
**Fine Lines and Wrinkles**: Helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth.
**Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation**: Lightens dark spots, sun spots, and other types of hyperpigmentation.
**Uneven Skin Tone and Texture**: Improves skin texture and tone, making the skin smoother and more even.
**Enlarged Pores**: Minimises the appearance of large pores.
**Rough Skin**: Exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing smoother, softer skin underneath.
**Skin Brightening**: Enhances skin radiance and clarity, giving a more youthful glow.
**Scars and Skin Damage**: Can improve the appearance of surgical scars, stretch marks, and other skin damage.

Skin Boosters

Depending on the event, we understand you might encounter some sleepless nights leading up to it. Enter our skin boosters - they're here to help you maintain a vibrant and glowing look, regardless of any external pressures you're under. Skin boosters like Profhilo and Seventy Hyal are specifically formulated to enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and overall texture. With their high concentration of hyaluronic acid, these quick injectable treatments offer a range of benefits, including:

Hydro2facials

We highly recommend this treatment before a big event, particularly one you might be nervous about or have been planning for a long time. Beyond its physical benefits, there's nothing better than an hour of pampering with one of our medical practitioners, offering arguably the most relaxing treatment we have. It's perfect for brides-to-be a few days before their wedding. In addition to helping you unwind, a hydro2facial has numerous amazing qualities:

**Instant results :** After your deep cleanse, you will immediately notice a difference in your skin and will walk out the clinic with an instant glow.
**No downtime:** being a non-invasive treatment, there is no downtime after a hydro2facial and you can resume normal activities straight away.
**Suitable for everyone :** A hydro2facial is beneficial and customizable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
**Multiple benefits :** The benefits of a Hydro2facial include the reduction in the appearance of fine lines, a boost in skin radiance for a brighter, healthier-looking complexion, reduction in acne and the prevention of future breakouts by keeping the pores clean and clear - to name just a few!

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Aside from anti-ing the wrinkles, this injectable treatment has many other benefits on multiple areas of the face, including:

**Gummy Smile -** this works by relaxing the hyperactive muscles in the upper lip, which allows the lip to cover more of the gums when you smile - a popular one if you’ve always been conscious about your smile and are preparing to have lots of photos taken of you.
**Lip flip -** Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxation causes the upper lip to roll slightly outward (or "flip"), creating the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume
**Brow lift -** Toxin works by temporarily paralysing the muscles that pull the eyebrows down, This relaxation allows the muscles that lift the eyebrows, like the frontalis muscle, to work more effectively, raising the eyebrows
**Pebble chin -** Also known as a dimpled chin, works by relaxing the mentalis muscle, which is responsible for the wrinkling or dimpling appearance of the chin
**Downturned smile** - Toxin works by temporarily paralysing the DAO muscles, reducing their ability to pull the corners of the mouth downward. This allows the muscles that lift the corners of the mouth to become more dominant, creating a more neutral or slightly upturned smile

And let's not forget the practical benefits: say goodbye to excessive sweating with anti-wrinkle injections that keep you cool and collected, even on the most nerve wracking hot summer days! Toxin works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that signals the sweat glands to produce sweat. By reducing this signalling, anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily reducing the amount of sweat produced in the treated area.

Remember - Choosing a medical professional for anti-wrinkle treatments ensures not only safety but also optimal results tailored to your specific needs. A qualified healthcare provider has the expertise to assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the appropriate dosage and injection sites. They adhere to strict medical guidelines and practices, minimising the risk of side effects or complications. By trusting a medical professional for anti-wrinkle injections, you invest in both the safety of your procedure and the quality of your cosmetic outcome, ensuring a positive experience and long-term satisfaction with your appearance.

While we could go on and on about the amount of treatments we offer to prepare you for your special occasion, we firmly believe that a personalised approach is the most effective. That's why we emphasise the bespoke experience as the ultimate choice. Schedule a consultation with one of our medical practitioners today to embark on your journey
