This is a purpose built operating theatre suite, with separate changing and recovery rooms. VASER technology allows walk- in- walk out treatment of  deposits of stubborn fatty areas  be removed in one sitting. Skin retraction is good and sometimes impressive. Patients who may have been borderline for abdominoplasty may now be eligible for this procedure. The fat is broken down by ultrasonic waves using probes placed into the fatty tissue through small incision (5mm). After this the fat is removed through suction. Garments are worn consciously for one week and several weeks after. Please see us for consultation in Guildford or Windsor. Theatres slots are being booked now from October 2009

Using Restylane Sub Q cheekbone enhancement, chin augmentation, that is bony structures requiring enhancement. Not all patients are suitable for this procedure*, a proper discussion is required as to your expectations. A local anaesthetic is needed. An understanding of facial symmetry is needed, enhancing the cheekbones can balance a large jaw or prominent chin or refine a flatter face without much definition.

The results can be striking and last in excess of 9-12 months. In the recent past these types of procedure required a surgical implant so with the benefit of technology this has moved this on hugely.
