QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Ellanse for lip augmentation?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Ellanse is able to deliver some fantastic results in many areas of the face, but it is not recommended for use in the lips as it is a collagen stimulating filler.  Instead, we would recommend that lips should be treated with an HA filler, such as Perfectha which comes from the same product stable as Ellanse.

Is Ellanse dermal filler better than a HA filler?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

HA filler and Ellanse can be used to treat many of the same areas however they work in different ways so it is important to establish what you are looking to achieve.  My first question to you would be have you used fillers before? Perfectha, an HA filler is a very gentle first step to addressing lines on the face.  It is also ideal for filling lips, under the eyes to treat hollowing or for a non-surgical nose job (rhinoplasty).  However, if you are looking for a way to replace lost volume in your face, you may find that you want to move onto Ellanse which stimulates the body to create collagen after the initial gel has been absorbed by the body.  In this way the effects of the treatment are both extremely natural looking, but last longer than an HA filler.

Silhouette Soft™ How Safe is It?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Silhouette Soft is a very safe treatment.  One of the reasons for this is that only doctors and dentists can treat with this system and they will have undergone extensive training which conducted by highly experienced doctors.  Out of the many thousands of threads used globally, Silhouette Soft is the only one to be FDA approved in the USA (which has very exacting standards) and reports of adverse incidents monitored by Sinclair Pharma are exceptionally low.

What's the difference between Silhouette Soft and Nova (PDO) Threads?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Thank you for your question. Both treatments are designed to lift sagging skin but do so in different ways and stimulate different types of collagen. Your clinician should be able to advise you which you are most suited to; PDO threads are more suitable if you have thicker, heavier tissue - patients may be older or have a greater degree of drooping skin. The collagen stimulated by PDO threads is thicker and less flexible so provides a firm lift.  By contrast Silhouette Soft is effective for those who require volume repositioning or are looking for more defined and contoured features. The collagen Silhouette Soft threads stimulates is more flexible and results with this treatment are more nuanced and natural looking.

What pain medication can I take for painful and swollen chin 10 days post Silhouette Soft procedure?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing pain after a Silhouette Soft procedure. In most cases this should settle naturally in the very near future. I always recommend using a gentle cold compress as a first step and if this isn’t offering enough relief paracetamol or a very low dose of codeine should help. However, you should not take anything which dampens the inflammatory process. If you are concerned you could call your treatment provider or take a photograph and email it them asking for feedback.  You should also be due for a review with your doctor very soon, who will be able to assess more fully how you are healing and offer more tailored advice.

11 months s/p Sculptra injection ( granuloma on R side ) and HA filler in same anatomical area...

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Hello

The advice you have been given is correct. How realistic is it that it may make the nodule worse we don't know and sensible injectors will not risk mixing products especially if you have had a problem with a previous treatment in the same area.

Vanquish ME vs Coolsculpting. I’m 46 year old, 5’6, 129lbs. (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Hello

Coolscupting works well to reduce soft adipose fat. From your photos you would appear to be suitable. However I suspect some of the shape of your belly may be due to muscle. Therefore you must see a Doctor or Nurse trained to diagnose. I have seen many misdiagnosis in my clinic from  an other clinic that have a non-medical person doing the consultation.

HA tear trough filler caused lumps and Tyndall effect, what options to remove it other than hyalase injection? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Hello

The skin is so thin under the eye, this is a common problem. Hyaluronidase is your only option. It can take years to resolve naturally.

Why is my upper lip protruding so much after 1/2 syringe of lip filler? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Hello Erin

Botox is a muscle relaxant it does not lift the lip so it might be that your lip has relaxed and dropped forward.

Or just to much filler in your lip, check out how your lips move when you talk, if they don't crease then its to much filler.

Coolsculpting, no frozen mass: does that mean it didn't work?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Hello

Don't worry if you don't feel to frozen after treatment, especially the cooladvantage heads spread the temperature drop more evenly so not the frozen mass of the previous heads. It will not affect your results.

Glad to help

Laser Resurfacing

Millicent Thomson

Tixel

Consultation with Dr Victoria was impeccable and was put at ease as soon as I entered the clinic. A treatment called Tixel was recommended to improve the texture of my skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. I was extremely keen to have this treatment as no injectables were needed and the results are comparable to the CO2 laser resurfacing but without the long downtime. First treatment was great, I was very nervous, I was expecting a lot of discomfort, but surprisingly it was so not sore, downtime was very mild i.e slight redness, mild peeling by day 3 no evidence of me having had a treatment. 4 weeks have passed and though it is to soon to see full result from the treatment I can honestly say my skin is looking the best it has looked for such a long time. Looking forward to my next appointment

Victoria Dobbie, BDS
Response from Dr.Victoria Dobbie, BDSTIXEL is a fantastic treatment and alternative to laser. I am so pleased to hear you were comfortable, thank you for sharing your experience and for your recommendation! Looking forward to seeing you again.

Never Been Disappointed

I have been attending treatments from Dr Dobbie for 14 years now . From Sculptra, fillers and Botox. She always talks me through what to expect including any downtime ( I never want anyone to know I have had anything done) .Also she will never do anything that she feels will not look natural or right for me. I always want and get a fresher natural better looking me not a over filled fish pout expressionless face just a face that people say " you look great and have never changed...no way do you look 60! " instead of behind my back saying " she has had work done " if this is what you are looking for i would highly recommend Dr Dobbie you will never look back .

Amazing Results

I have been a client at Face and Body Clinic for some years now and have always received a professional, friendly and first class service. Thanks to Dr. Victoria the results have been amazing and helped target areas of my face I had concerns about and made me feel and look younger for my age. Although I have always had fabulous results with previous treatments Dr Victoria discussed the option of the Silhouette Soft Lift to reshape sagging under my jawline and talked through the procedure and gave me some literature on this new treatment. I had no hesitation in making an appointment for this knowing that I was in 'safe hands' with Dr. Victoria and trusted her fully to carry out this procedure. The procedure itself was painless and took about 45-50 mins, as always Dr. Victoria talked to me and made me feel at ease. The results were amazing and the threads had lifted my jawline and cheek area. I had a follow up 6 week review and there was no problems at all. I would recommend this treatment to others.

Dr Victoria spent time explaining the treatment process and the timeline for the effects. The actual treatment itself was painless and I had very minimal bruising. The results have been astounding; I look much younger now and my skin is in fabulous condition. So would I recommend this treatment - yes. And would I recommend Dr Victoria - without hesitation! I trust her completely and she has a great way of making you feel at ease during the treatment. Have had absolutely no regrets and cannot recommend highly enough.
