CF Aesthetics

Treatments

Anti-wrinkle treatment

Botox® is a well-known brand of botulinum toxin used safely in aesthetics since the 1980s to reduce wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. It’s commonly applied to areas like the forehead, glabella (between the eyes), and crow’s feet, and can also target lines around the mouth, neck, and jaw. Botox blocks chemical signals to muscles, preventing movement and allowing skin to smooth over time. Regular treatments are initially needed to "re-educate" facial muscles, with maintenance treatments typically required annually.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Teosyal, used at CF Aesthetics, are hyaluronic acid-based injectables that smooth lines in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and forehead. A topical anaesthetic reduces discomfort, and fillers are gently massaged to create a plumping effect, binding water for firm, youthful skin. The minimally invasive treatment requires no scarring and delivers long-lasting results.

HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a hydrating skin detox treatment using active botanical ingredients. Suitable for all skin types, it involves stages of cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration with LED therapy to improve tone, texture, and radiance. The treatment boosts collagen production and eliminates impurities for instantly refreshed, glowing skin.

Profhilo

Profhilo is an innovative hyaluronic acid treatment that injects moisture into the skin, enhancing firmness and structure through collagen and elastin stimulation. Often focused on the lower face, Profhilo improves skin texture and appearance over time through controlled, gradual hydration.

DermaPen

DermaPen micro-needling improves skin tone, reduces scars and wrinkles, and promotes natural collagen production with minimal downtime. It effectively addresses acne scars, pigmentation, and stretch marks for an overall improvement in skin texture.

LED facials

The Neoelegance Lumineo LED device at CF Aesthetics uses six wavelengths to boost collagen, even skin tone, and reduce acne. It also improves blood circulation, enhances oxygenation, and supports lymphatic drainage for healthier, rejuvenated skin.

CryoPen

CryoPen™ delivers pinpoint cryotherapy with liquid nitrous oxide, freezing and removing skin imperfections like skin tags, age spots, and warts. This non-invasive treatment works precisely on targeted areas without affecting surrounding healthy skin.

PRP Facial (Vampire Facial)

PRP facial rejuvenation uses your own blood platelets to stimulate collagen and cell growth, improving skin tone, texture, and complexion. It effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, making it a popular anti-aging and regenerative treatment.

ZoSkin Health

The ZO Skin Health range, available at CF Aesthetics, offers advanced skincare solutions for concerns like acne, pigmentation, and sun damage. Clinically proven and requiring medical direction, ZO products help maintain skin health and are tailored to individual needs.

3D Lipo

Our medical-grade 3D UltimatePro platform offers non-surgical body contouring through cryo-freeze, cavitation, RF skin tightening, and shockwave therapy. These treatments reduce fat, tighten skin, and improve cellulite appearance with minimal invasion.

3D Cavitation

3D cavitation disrupts fat cells using sound waves, helping you achieve a slimmer look. Fat is naturally processed by the lymphatic system, with the treatment aiding in body contouring without invasive surgery.

3D Skin Tightening

3D RF uses radiofrequency to tighten skin by heating fat layers and shrinking fat cells. This treatment reduces cellulite and restores skin firmness for a smoother appearance.

3D Shockwave

Shockwave therapy targets cellulite and enhances skin tone with sound waves to stimulate circulation. It can be combined with other treatments to enhance fat reduction and skin tightening effects.

Filler Aftercare

If you have been offered any additional or different instructions please follow the advice listed below. The effect of your treatment is immediate. Filler can be slightly mobile for a few hour following the procedure so it is important that you keep facial movements minimal and do not rub or massage the area for the rest of the day. Immediately after treatment it is quite normal for there to be slight redness, swelling and tenderness around the treated area. These signs will gradually disappear in a few days. Wash and dry your face with gentle patting movements. It is possible that you may be able to feel or see where the product has been placed for about two weeks following treatment. As the filler gradually incorporates into the matrix of your skin, these signs will lessen. If you have had stronger, more uplifting filler, it is possible that the filler will be palpable for longer.

Please avoid the use of makeup for the rest of the day to prevent the introduction of infection to the injection sites.

Do not have facial beauty treatments or massage for two weeks following treatment and avoid exposure to strong sunlight, very cold temperatures, saunas and solariums for the same length of time.

If there is discomfort following treatment you may take paracetamol. Avoid the use of aspirin, ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory drugs as these may increase the risk of bruising.

Lip treatment generally takes a little longer to settle and may feel tender and appear uneven-this will gradually resolve itself within the first week and should not affect the final result.

There is a chance of bruising with filler treatment, caused bother though injection and sometimes through the pressure of the product on capillaries under the skin. Bruising may be apparent at the time of treatment or may develop later and may be anything from more likely mild, to moderate. This is an unfortunate side effect of filler treatments. Bruising will subside in time and the use of arnica cream can sometimes be helpful. Cool compresses for two days following treatment can help. After two days, warm compresses will encourage blood supply to remove traces of the bruise.

Although your treatment result is immediate the overall result will look much better in about two weeks when any trauma has subsided and the plumping effect of the product has really started to take effect.
