At a first treatment we would rather give a little less than you might expect. Two weeks later, at the review, we can see exactly how your face has responded and add a small amount where it helps.

Adding is quick and easy, while waiting for too much to wear off takes months. Starting light is the safer way to reach the result you want, and most patients find they need less than they thought.
