Medical Aesthetics

No, not when it is planned properly. The aim is to soften the lines that bother you while keeping your face moving naturally. At consultation Dr Sana will ask how much movement you want to keep, and the plan is built around that rather than around a standard dose.

Most patients describe it as a brief scratch rather than pain. The needles used are very fine and the treatment takes around fifteen to twenty minutes in total. Individual experience varies, and anything you are worried about can be discussed before you decide to go ahead.

Yes, most patients return to normal activities immediately. There may be small raised marks at the injection points which settle within an hour or so. You will be given aftercare advice including what to avoid for the rest of the day.

The tiers reflect how much of the face is being treated, not the standard of care. Focused covers the upper or the lower face, Full Face covers both and considers balance across the whole face, and Full Face and Neck extends to the platysma where clinically appropriate. Every tier receives the same assessment, products and aftercare.

No. Suitability is assessed individually at consultation, and it is not recommended for everyone. Dr Sana will review your medical history, examine how your face moves, and will tell you plainly if treatment is not the right answer for you.

At The Sana Clinic treatment starts from £395 for a focused single region, from £895 for multi-area work, and from £1,495 for more extensive structural restoration. We price by clinical scope rather than by the millilitre, so the quote reflects the outcome planned rather than the volume used.

Dermal filler typically lasts between 6 and 18 months, depending on the area treated, the product used, your metabolism and the amount of movement in the area.

Lip filler may require maintenance sooner, while structural treatments to areas such as the cheeks, chin and jawline can often last 12–18 months or longer. At The Sana Clinic, we focus on subtle, well-planned correction and long-term maintenance rather than overfilling.

Because patients are paying for an outcome, not a quantity of product. Pricing by volume encourages treating to a number rather than to a face. The exact volume used is set out transparently in your written treatment plan.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved. This is discussed with you before any treatment takes place, so you understand your options before you decide.

Not when the face is assessed as a whole. Treatment here is planned around proportion, support and the relationship between regions, rather than by treating an area you have named in advance. What is achievable for your face is discussed honestly at consultation.

All injectable treatment carries risk, including bruising, swelling, infection and, rarely, more serious vascular complications. These are explained in full at consultation and set out in your written plan before you consent to anything.

It is an injectable that prompts your body to produce its own collagen, rather than adding volume directly. New collagen is laid down over the following weeks and months, gradually improving skin thickness, firmness and structural support.

Collagen restoration treatments are designed to create gradual, longer-term improvement by stimulating your own collagen production rather than simply adding volume.

Results typically develop over several weeks to months and can last 18 months to 3 years, depending on the treatment used, the area treated, your age, skin quality and individual response. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to preserve and build on the result over time.

Typically two to three, spaced around four to six weeks apart. The number depends on how much collagen loss is found at assessment, and is confirmed in your written plan before anything begins.

Sculptra, Radiesse and AesPlla are all used at The Sana Clinic. Which one suits you is decided at assessment, based on your tissue and the change you are seeking, rather than chosen in advance.

No. Because the collagen is produced by your own body over weeks and months, the change is gradual. Most patients find this is one of the reasons they choose it.

Polynucleotides are regenerative injectables derived from purified DNA fragments. They stimulate fibroblast activity, supporting collagen production and tissue repair. They do not add volume, so they are used to improve skin quality, texture and elasticity rather than to change facial shape.

Because a single session is not clinically meaningful. The benefit comes from the full course of four treatments spaced two to four weeks apart, which is why they are priced that way here rather than by the session.

At The Sana Clinic a four-session course for one area is £950, which is £238 per session. Two areas are £1,750 and three areas are £2,450. Many London clinics quote a single session price, so it is worth checking how many sessions a quoted figure actually covers.

Under-eyes, face, neck, decolletage and hands. How many areas are included depends on the tier agreed at consultation, and the under-eye area is one of the most commonly requested.

Neither is better. They do different things and are chosen for different reasons. Polynucleotides are regenerative and work over a course; injectable skin treatments are primarily about hydration and elasticity. Which is appropriate for you is decided at assessment.

They are injectables placed into the dermis to improve the quality of the skin rather than its shape. They support hydration, elasticity and firmness. Unlike dermal filler, they are not intended to restore volume or change facial structure.

Dermal filler restores volume and structure. Injectable skin treatments change the quality of the skin itself, improving hydration and elasticity without altering facial shape. Many patients have both, planned together, for different reasons.

That is decided after Dr Sana has assessed your skin, not before. This category is described by clinical intensity rather than brand because the right product depends on what your skin actually needs.

Most patients are advised a short course, commonly two sessions around four weeks apart. Your own plan is confirmed at consultation.

It is a planned sequence of treatments delivered over approximately six months, not a set of treatments bought together. Skin quality and collagen are addressed first, structural restoration follows once tissue quality has improved, and refinement comes last.

You do not choose it from a list. The programme follows from what Dr Sana finds at assessment, particularly the degree of collagen loss, and is set out in your written plan. Programmes are arranged through consultation only.

Yes. Programmes can be divided into twelve interest-free monthly payments, so the cost need not be met all at once. Renew is £2,200, Restore is £4,150 and Rebalance is £5,650.

Once you reach your new baseline, most patients need only one or two maintenance visits a year, at under half the annual cost of the initial programme. The first year restores; every year after maintains.

Yes, by around 20% at every tier. The saving is deliberately the same across all three, so the discount never rewards choosing a larger programme than you need.

This is not a conventional microneedling facial. Dr Sana’s scar remodelling protocol combines deep medical microneedling, targeted scar subcision, personalised mesotherapy, enzymatic resurfacing and cold atmospheric plasma within the same programme. Depending on severity, it may also incorporate collagen biostimulation and a medical chemical peel course, so the scar is addressed at several levels rather than only at the surface.

Treatment is divided into three tiers according to the severity and complexity of the scarring. Mild scarring typically begins with a four-session Foundation programme, moderate scarring with the Advanced programme, and more severe or extensive scarring may require the five-session Signature programme. The tier is recommended following examination rather than chosen from a menu.

Scar remodelling is gradual. Some improvement in texture may be noticeable during the course, but collagen formation and remodelling continue for several months afterwards. Final results should therefore be assessed once the skin has had time to remodel rather than immediately after an individual session.

Topical anaesthetic is provided before treatment and your comfort is planned for throughout. Subcision releases the fibrous bands that tether a scar beneath the skin and can cause temporary tenderness, swelling or bruising. Cooling, vibration distraction and breaks are available at any point, and it is only performed where Dr Sana considers it clinically appropriate.

No responsible treatment can guarantee a scar will disappear completely. The purpose of remodelling is to reduce scar depth and tethering, improve texture, and make the transition between scarred and surrounding skin less noticeable. The degree of improvement varies with scar type, severity, age of the scar, skin biology and individual healing. Dr Sana will discuss realistic expectations with you beforehand.
