Are aesthetic treatments safe?

All procedures at The Derma Clinic Kent are carried out by qualified medical professionals using clinically proven products and technologies. We prioritise your safety and ensure all treatments meet the strictest medical and ethical standards.

Do treatments hurt?

Most treatments cause minimal discomfort. We use advanced techniques and numbing products to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible. Our practitioners will always explain what to expect during your consultation.

How long do results last?

This depends on the treatment.

  • Botox typically lasts 3–4 months.

  • Dermal fillers can last 6–18 months.

  • Sculptra and Morpheus8 stimulate natural collagen, with results lasting up to 2 years or longer. We’ll discuss expected longevity during your consultation.

When will I see results?

Some treatments, such as Botox or fillers, deliver visible results within days. Others, like Sculptra or Morpheus8, build results gradually as new collagen forms, creating a naturally refreshed appearance over time.

Consultation & Aftercare

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes. All clients begin with a thorough medical consultation. This allows us to assess your skin, discuss your goals, review your medical history, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

What should I expect after treatment?

You may experience slight redness or swelling, which usually settles within hours to days. You’ll receive detailed aftercare guidance to support optimal healing and maintain your results.

Can I combine treatments?

Absolutely. Combination treatment plans often deliver the most harmonious and long-lasting results. For example, pairing Morpheus8 with Dermalux LED or Sculptra with Botox can enhance skin quality and structure.
