is this for me

Who it’s for

Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.

  • Discuss overall loss of firmness, previous injectables and whether a gradual tissue response fits your expectations.
  • PCL differs from PLLA in Sculptra and PDO in ULTRACOL. It cannot be dissolved like HA; a liquid formulation does not eliminate injection risks.
  • At QD Clinic, your goals and skin assessment guide the product, area and recovery plan.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.

Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.

start with your concern

Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.

  • 01

    Where you are now, and where we start

    Discuss overall loss of firmness, previous injectables and whether a gradual tissue response fits your expectations.

  • 02

    The change you want, the impression you keep

    Rather than adding more volume, we decide where to fill and where to leave alone, and the line at which expression stays natural.

  • 03

    How it differs from similar options

    We compare what filler, Botox and skin boosters each change and what they cannot change, with the alternatives alongside them.

  • 04

    Health information and recovery schedule

    Beforehand we check blood thinners, immune conditions and allergies, past injectables, possible pregnancy and the dates that matter.

The same treatment, never the same plan.

the qd standard

Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.

  • 01DIAGNOSIS FIRSTCause before nameWe first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
  • 02LESS, PRECISEOnly as much as neededRather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
  • 03HONEST LIMITThe limits, explained tooWe explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.

From consultation to follow-up, planned as one flow.

  • Ingredients and authenticity

    We check the product name, the maker, the ingredients, the expiry date and the use approved for that purpose.

  • Anatomy and expression

    We look at where vessels are at risk, at muscle movement, skin thickness and the proportions of the whole face, then set the injection points.

  • Small amounts, one stage at a time

    Allowing for swelling and the early response, we avoid overcorrection and top it up later if that is needed.

What the procedure is like

  1. Discuss the area, skin thickness, previous procedures, allergies and medicines with the doctor.
  2. Compare the product’s intended use, realistic goals, limitations and total cost.
  3. After appropriate comfort measures and cleansing, the doctor treats the agreed areas.
  4. Receive aftercare and contact instructions, and arrange an appropriate review.

Appointment length depends on consultation, numbing and treatment extent. Tell us your available time and important plans when booking.

Please read this before treatment

  • Injection marks, redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary bumps can occur; recovery varies.
  • Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your instructions for washing and makeup.
  • Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.

Safety & considerations

Possible reactions

  • Infection, persistent nodules, unevenness, inflammation or allergic reactions can occur.
  • Injections carry rare but serious risks including vascular injury or blockage and tissue damage.

Before treatment

  • Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, immune conditions, medicines, previous fillers and threads.
  • Active inflammation or infection at the site needs assessment before treatment is scheduled.

Worsening pain, pale or mottled skin, visual symptoms or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention. Outcomes and duration vary; a specific result is not guaranteed.

what to expect

What to expect over time

A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.

  1. Immediately

    Initial swelling and fullness are not the final result.

  2. Early recovery

    Monitor bruising, swelling and injection marks. Contact the clinic if symptoms worsen or persist.

  3. Review

    GOURI

    Collagen-stimulating treatments are assessed over weeks to months. Fullness on the treatment day does not establish the final effect. Compare photographs taken under consistent conditions and findings at review.

  4. Next steps

    Plan any further session only after assessing the response and recovery.

Sessions & results

Session count and spacing depend on examination, the specific product instructions and your response. Allow recovery time before an important event or journey.
