We’ve gathered some of the most common questions about aesthetic injectables to help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident before starting your treatment journey.
-
Cosmetic injectables are non-surgical treatments designed to enhance, refresh, and rejuvenate your appearance. They include treatments like anti-wrinkle injections (botulinum toxin), dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation treatments, which can soften lines, restore volume, and give a natural, more youthful look.
-
This varies depending on the treatment and your individual metabolism. Anti-wrinkle treatments typically last around 3–4 months, while dermal fillers and skin boosters can last from 9–24 months depending on the product used and the area treated. Results vary between every individual and so it is important to have a thorough consultation to ensure each treatment type is right for you.
-
Yes! Our philosophy at The Refine Room is “refine, not redesign.” Treatments are tailored to your individual features and goals, with subtle enhancements that leave you looking refreshed and confident, never “overdone.”
-
Most people find injectable treatments very tolerable. We use fine needles, gentle techniques, and can apply numbing cream if needed. Some areas may feel like a quick pinch or sting, but discomfort is generally minimal and short-lived.
-
Downtime is usually very minimal. You might experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically settle within a few days. Most clients return to work or daily activities immediately after treatment.
-
Anti-wrinkle treatments take 3–14 days to fully develop, while fillers often provide an immediate improvement, with results continuing to refine as any swelling subsides. Skin boosters may take a few sessions to see optimal, glowing results.
-
Yes when performed by a qualified, experienced practitioner. At The Refine Room, all treatments are carried out by an experienced registered nurse under the supervision of a prescribing doctor, using only premium, evidence-based products.
-
Yes an initial consultation is an important first step. It allows us to get to know you, understand your goals, review your medical history, and discuss the best treatment options for you. This ensures your treatment is safe, personalised, and designed to achieve natural, beautiful results. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and feel fully informed before deciding to go ahead. Consultations are no obligation and are free.
-
Before your appointment, there are just a few simple steps to help you get the best results and reduce the chance of bruising or swelling. We recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements (like fish oil, vitamin E, and garlic) for 24–48 hours beforehand, as these can thin the blood. Please arrive with clean skin, free from heavy makeup, and let us know if you are feeling unwell or have had any recent medical changes. During your consultation, we’ll give you personalised guidance so you feel fully prepared.
