Dr Leah Totton with patient

As the trend for natural beauty rises and the demand for 'something subtle' becomes more popular than ever, the formerly fashionable 'trout pout' is definitely no longer the look that patients want to achieve. Instead, our clients are seeking out a middle ground, opting for less invasive treatment and - regardless of the procedure - that subtle outcome that enhances one's appearance without changing it completely.

The cosmetic industry as a whole is starting to embrace this wave of natural rejuvenation, which is why procedures such as Silhouette Soft® are in demand. Minimal downtime alongside maximum results mean that this procedure is hot stuff! This definitely true here at Dr Leah's Clinic.

This trend extends to historically popular treatments ant-wrinkle injections, which is still highly effective, but clients now no longer want that expressionless, fake, plastic look. They are following our advice that less is definitely more!

Whatever the season, all of us here at Dr Leah's Clinic are advocates of natural beauty, and so we're obviously thrilled with this new trend - we say long may it continue!

Laser hair removal

In recent years, laser hair removal has become the most popular choice for people who want to eliminate unwanted body hair. The treatment uses a laser to heat and effectively destroy hair follicles in the treated area without affecting the surrounding cells or any other follicles.

But even with the widespread success and popularity of laser treatments, the experts who staff our London cosmetic clinic are still sometimes asked whether or not the treatment is safe. In today's blog post, we will put this question to bed once and for all.

In a nutshell: yes, laser hair removal is safe, as long as the treatment is administered by a qualified clinician. Here at Dr Leah Clinics, we use a laser treatment called Soprano ICE, which uses award-winning technology to permanently remove your unwanted hair. It is the latest version of the renowned Soprano hair removal laser, and more importantly, clinical tests have shown that Soprano ICE is completely safe. It is also pain-free, and suitable for all skin types.

As with any treatment, some Soprano ICE patients do experience side effects (including redness and itchiness in the treatment area), but these are quite minor and usually subside shortly afterwards. We cannot vouch for other clinics and the treatments that they use, but we have enough confidence in our own methods to say that, yes, laser hair removal is completely safe for both male and female patients.

Facial filler

Dermal fillers are gels that can be used to smooth out unwanted facial wrinkles and create a plump, youthful appearance. One treatment produces results that are visible immediately, and last for roughly 6-9 months.

We offer a range of anti-wrinkle treatments here at Dr Leah Clinics, and our dermal fillers (also known as facial fillers) have proven to be particularly effective. Our dermal filler treatments start from £225 click here to book your dermal filler treatment now, or keep reading to learn more...

What gels are used as facial fillers?
There are many different dermal filler gels available, though we at Dr Leah Clinics always use Juvéderm®, a natural hyaluronic gel that leads the market and gives outstanding results in a variety of different areas (including the cheeks, nose, and lips).

Does it hurt?
Before injecting the dermal filler gel, your clinician will apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area in question. This makes the procedure practically painless.

Are there any side effects dermal fillers?
Some patients notice a mild swelling/soreness after receiving the facial filler treatment, but this is temporary and usually subsides shortly afterwards. If improperly administered, the treatment can result in more serious complications, such as infections or allergic reactions, but the medical experts at Dr Leah Clinics take all necessary precautions to ensure that these situations do not arise.

Is the treatment reversible?
Yes, our dermal filler treatment is fully reversible.
