Frequently Asked Questions regarding Botox®

Only the hyperhidrosis treatment is a fixed amount at £365. I don't charge per zone/area simply because the price structure used by other practitioners often encourage clients to have more than they need. Plus its not advantageous for the client. I charge by the amount used and it goes up incrementally from £185 up to £375 for facial work.

Simply put because the quality and drive for excellence is an extension of my work as a Consultant. I want this to be standard setting treatment.  I practice in a surgery, in a surgical suite and use a pharmacy team to monitor & audit the storage of my product. (see the about section)

When I first started I charged a flat fee of £175, regardless. This was to offset the cost of advertising, the price alone was the advert.

Now I charge a bit more, because I believe that the quality of the treatment justifies the cost. I am still in the middle of the price range of providers in Jersey but if you pay peanuts don't be surprised if you get poor results and need to go back & back to the practitioner.

Absolutely not. It's against the General Medical Council code of ethics for aesthetic medicine.

Any Practitioner that offers deals or QuidsIn deals needs to be avoided like the plague, (or COVID. 😂)

I get contacted frequently about this, most of it is failure on the part of the practitioner because I don't get these issues and I just follow the letter of the law. The only logical explanations are either the medication was stored at the wrong temperature (denaturing it) , it was diluted from powder with too much water (over diluting it) or not sufficient was injected.

Antibodies can develop but these are seen in patients that receive vast amounts for muscle spasticity and not in aesthetic practice.

With the exception for Dr Curran at the ASC, who I think has been the trailblazer of aesthetic medicine in Jersey, its is illegal if a doctor/nurse flies in & administers a prescription only medication and they're not on the Medical Practitioners register for Jersey (as well as the GMC register).  Nurses cannot fly in and administer medicines that is illegal as most nurses in Jersey still need a doctor to prescribe the medication.

What you need to be mindful of is what happens if something goes wrong? Does your practitioner have links to medical support on island when they are not there? If your practitioner is flying in and out and not on the practitioners register, then they will not be insured.  I am covered by the Medical Protection Society. I am registered with the GMC and the Jersey Medical Practitioners Register.

I live & work in Jersey. My reputation is here.

Now this is a tricky one.  Everyone is different. I have clients who attend with their sisters, cousins, mother-daughters, father-daughters for treatment and everyone responds in different ways.  It's not necessarily down to genetics but also muscle definition in the face, desired look, some people are exceptionally facially very animated and you don't want to be told this, but aesthetic line treatment is not an exact science, if it was everyone would be administering it.  The effects are not instant they take 2 weeks to fully kick in and I offer an inclusive appointment at 2 or 3 weeks from treatment if any extra treatment is required (free).  

That being said 4 months is a reasonable point for cosmetic advantage. However a lot of my clients get 9 months from treatment and I have clients coming from other practitioners who state my treatment lasts longer.

 I am trained in dermal fillers, but have made the professional decision not to provide this service. However my colleague Yasmeen Kurian, also at Castle Quay offers dermal fillers and her link is here.

That being said for the past 5 years I have been far less rigid compared to the 'traditional advice'.  I will explain all during the consultation

 All around you, but you would never know.

Jersey is a small place, and I pride myself on discretion. No one knows you're coming to get aesthetic treatment when you attend my practice.  There are some rules around "before and after" images that sit on a fine line between overly promoting a prescription only medication (POM).

However a majority of my clinics are repeat work which suggests a positive reception to my work.
