Injectable cosmetic procedures are not for everybody. Other than medical reasons, I do refuse treatment if I feel it will not improve your look (too much or unrealistic expectations) or if I think you are having it for the wrong reasons. Injectables are great for a confidence boost, to enhance your own beautiful features, balance the face and correct asymmetries. They are also great to age ‘gracefully’ and soften harsh lines. Remember, it is better to look good for your age than try to look 20 years younger.

Injectables are NOT for changing you, distorting features and if you don’t love yourself before, you won’t love yourself after. It’s easy to get carried away believing if you just get that little bit more, you’ll look good and this is a dangerous spiral that I see way too often. Self-love is very important and if you are feeling down, it is better to speak to a counsellor and work on your relationship with yourself before turning to cosmetic treatments for happiness.
