Aesthetics FAQs.

Clear answers to common questions about consultation, suitability, treatment and aftercare at Zoe’s Retreat.

Questions, answered

Feel informed before you decide.

Your consultation is always the place for advice specific to you. These answers provide helpful general guidance before your visit.

Do I need a consultation before aesthetic treatment?

Yes. All aesthetic treatments begin with an appropriate consultation and suitability assessment. This allows us to discuss your treatment goals, medical history, expected results and any relevant considerations before treatment.

Do I need a consultation for anti-wrinkle injections?

Yes. Anti-wrinkle treatments use prescription-only medicines and require an appropriate clinical assessment and prescription before treatment.

Who prescribes anti-wrinkle treatment?

Where treatment is considered appropriate, an appropriately qualified independent prescriber will carry out the required clinical assessment and make the prescribing decision.

Will the person who prescribes my treatment also perform my treatment?

Not necessarily. The prescriber and treating practitioner may be different people. You will be told who is involved in your care.

Are aesthetic treatments suitable for everyone?

No. Suitability depends on the individual, their medical history, medication, treatment area and desired outcome. Suitability will be assessed during consultation.

What age do I need to be?

All aesthetic treatments at Zoe’s Retreat are strictly for clients aged 18 and over. Valid photographic identification may be requested.

How long do results last?

This varies depending on the treatment and individual. Your practitioner will discuss expected results and longevity during your consultation.

Will I have downtime?

Downtime varies depending on the treatment and individual. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and provide appropriate aftercare.

Can I have dermal filler if I have had filler elsewhere?

This depends on the individual and the area being treated. Please tell your practitioner about any previous filler treatments so that suitability can be assessed.

Can I have filler dissolved?

Where appropriate, we may offer filler dissolving following an individual assessment. This may include correction or adjustment of previous treatment carried out at Zoe’s Retreat. We do not routinely undertake dissolving of filler carried out elsewhere and each case will be considered individually.

How often can I have microneedling?

This depends on your skin, treatment intensity and desired results. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment schedule following consultation.

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?

Please follow the specific aftercare provided following your treatment, as this can vary depending on the treatment performed.

Can I have aesthetic treatment if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Some aesthetic treatments may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your practitioner will discuss your individual circumstances and advise whether treatment is appropriate.

What happens if I have a concern after treatment?

Please contact Zoe’s Retreat as soon as reasonably possible so that we can understand your concern and advise on the appropriate next steps. In an emergency, call 999.
