Medical FAQ
Will it change my smile?
It will not stop you from smiling, but your lip will not lift as high, covering the gum line.
"Medical aesthetic treatments require a face-to-face consultation to determine suitability. Prescription items (Botulinum Toxin, Tretinoin) are subject to strict clinical assessment. Results may vary."
WHY CHOSE DR ANDY & DR ANDREW
GP-Led Safety
Aesthetics is unregulated, but medicine is not. As fully qualified General Practitioners, we bring over 10 years of medical training to every procedure. We understand the complex anatomy of the face, the vascular risks, and the importance of sterility. You are not just a customer; you are a patient in a medical environment.
INDIVIDUAL Results Only
We specialise in achieving the look and outcome that you want. We do not apply broad templates to individual faces- we respect your own anatomy, muscle strength and all the nuances that make you- you.
After every treatment, you have unlimited followup with Dr Andy & Dr Andrew, and we are the only clinicians you will see.
Honest Medicine
We are doctors, not salespeople. If a treatment isn't right for you, or if your expectations are unrealistic, we will tell you. We pride ourselves on ethical practice and will never recommend a procedure unless we believe it is in your best medical and aesthetic interest.
