-
What age should I start treatments?There's no specific "right age." Some people begin preventative Botox in their late 20s or early 30s, whilst others start later when signs of ageing become more noticeable. It's best decided through consultation with a qualified practitioner.
-
When will I see results from Botox?Initial results appear within 24-48 hours, with full effects developing within 7-14 days after treatment.
-
What's the difference between Botox and fillers?Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by facial movements (like frown lines), whilst fillers add volume to fill in wrinkles or enhance features. They're often used complementarily for different concerns.
-
How long does Botox last?Botox typically lasts 3-4 months, though results vary by individual. Some first-time users may notice shorter results, whilst regular users sometimes develop longer-lasting effects.
-
What are the common side effects?Temporary side effects may include minor bruising, swelling, or redness at injection sites. Less common effects include headache, drooping eyelid, or asymmetry, which typically resolve as the product wears off.
-
Does getting Botox hurt?Most patients report minimal discomfort—often described as a brief pinch. The procedure uses very fine needles, and treatments are quick, usually completed in 10-15 minutes.
-
What is Botox?Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals. It's licensed by the MHRA for cosmetic use to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.
-
What if I want more dramatic results after trying Baby Botox?One advantage of starting with Baby Botox is the ability to adjust upward if desired. If you decide you want more dramatic wrinkle reduction after seeing your results, a touch-up appointment can be scheduled 2-4 weeks after your initial treatment to add additional product.
-
Can Baby Botox be combined with other treatments?Absolutely. Baby Botox works excellently alongside other subtle enhancement treatments like skin boosters, light chemical peels, and certain energy-based treatments. For comprehensive rejuvenation, it can complement dermal fillers that address volume loss while Baby Botox tackles dynamic wrinkles.
-
What's the difference between Baby Botox and regular Botox?Baby Botox uses smaller amounts of the same product (botulinum toxin) strategically placed to achieve subtle refinement rather than complete wrinkle elimination. The difference lies in dosage and injection technique, not the product itself. Traditional Botox typically uses 20-50 units across the upper face, while Baby Botox might use 10-35 units, precisely targeted to preserve more natural movement.
-
What is Baby Botox?Everything you need to know about Baby Botox: Our comprehensive guide explains what Baby Botox is, the benefits, treatment process, recovery & expected results. Read our Fact Sheet on What is Baby Botox
-
Is Baby Botox more painful than regular Botox?No, the injection experience is identical. Both use the same ultra-fine needles and take just minutes to perform. Many clients describe the sensation as brief pinpricks that cause minimal discomfort. The total number of injections may actually be fewer with Baby Botox depending on your treatment plan.
-
Can Baby Botox prevent wrinkles from forming?Yes, this is one of its primary benefits. By reducing the repetitive muscle movements that lead to wrinkle formation while still allowing natural expression, Baby Botox can effectively delay the development of permanent lines. Many dermatologists recommend starting in the late 20s to early 30s for maximum preventative benefit.
-
How soon will I see results from Baby Botox?You may notice subtle changes beginning within 24-48 hours, with results gradually developing over 7-14 days as the neuromodulator takes full effect. The gradual onset is actually beneficial, making the transformation less obvious to others.
-
How much does Baby Botox cost?At Hertford Cosmetics, Baby Botox treatments start from £110 depending on the number of areas treated and units required for your specific facial anatomy. While the cost per session might be slightly lower than standard Botox due to reduced product usage, the more frequent maintenance schedule makes the annual investment comparable. To view our pricing list see our Botox treatments
-
How long does Baby Botox last compared to regular Botox?Baby Botox typically lasts 2-3 months, slightly shorter than the 3-4 months expected from standard dosing. This shorter duration is actually preferred by many first-time patients as it allows them to test results with less commitment, and the gradual return of movement appears more natural.
-
How do I book Baby Botox?At Hertford Cosmetics you can simply book online using Fresha or simply contact us directly.
-
Will people notice I've had "work done" with Baby Botox?The hallmark of successful Baby Botox is that people notice you looking refreshed, well-rested, or somehow "better" without specifically identifying that you've had a cosmetic treatment. Most clients report receiving compliments on their appearance without questions about procedures.
-
What areas can be treated with fillers?Temporary swelling, redness, and bruising are common. Unlike Botox, some fillers may cause immediate swelling that can take 24-72 hours to subside. Serious complications are rare but possible.
-
What are dermal fillers?Dermal fillers are gel-like substances (commonly hyaluronic acid) injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, or enhance facial contours. Unlike Botox, fillers add volume rather than relaxing muscles.
-
How long do fillers last?Depending on the type of filler, results typically last 6-18 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers generally last 6-12 months, whilst more robust fillers can last up to 2 years.
-
Are fillers painful?Most fillers contain lidocaine to minimise discomfort during injection. Some practitioners also use topical numbing creams, making the procedure generally tolerable with minimal discomfort.
-
How much do lip fillers cost?At Hertford Cosmetics, lip filler treatments start from £140. Most first-time clients require one syringe, while those seeking more dramatic results or with very thin lips may need additional product, sometimes administered over multiple sessions. Detailed pricing is provided during your consultation based on your specific treatment plan.
-
What if I don't like my results?One of the major advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers is reversibility. If you're unhappy with your results for any reason, the filler can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This solution breaks down the filler within 24-48 hours. However, this is rarely necessary when treatment is performed by experienced practitioners who take a conservative, methodical approach. Many concerns resolve naturally as initial swelling subsides.
-
What are Lip Fillers?Everything you need to know about Lip Fillers: Our comprehensive guide explains what lip fillers are, the benefits, treatment process, recovery & expected results. Read our Fact Sheet on What are Lip Fillers
-
How long do lip fillers last?Lip fillers typically last 6-12 months, though this varies significantly between individuals. Factors affecting longevity include the specific product used, your metabolism, the amount injected, and how much you use your mouth (talking, kissing, facial expressions). First-time treatments sometimes metabolise faster, with subsequent treatments often lasting longer. Many clients schedule maintenance treatments every 6-9 months to maintain consistent results.
-
Will my lips look fake or "duck-like"?Natural-looking results depend entirely on proper technique, appropriate product selection, and respecting individual facial proportions. At Hertford Cosmetics, we prioritise enhancing your natural beauty rather than creating an obviously "done" appearance. Overfilled, disproportionate lips are usually the result of excessive product, improper placement, or disregard for natural anatomy—all approaches we actively avoid. We can achieve beautiful enhancement while maintaining your unique lip character.
-
Can I have lip fillers if I've had cold sores?Yes, but special precautions are necessary. Injectable treatments can potentially trigger a herpes simplex (cold sore) outbreak in those with a history of the condition. We typically recommend prophylactic antiviral medication starting the day before treatment and continuing for several days afterward to prevent an outbreak. Always inform us about any history of cold sores during your consultation.
-
Do lip fillers hurt?Most clients experience minimal discomfort thanks to multiple pain management approaches. We typically use topical numbing cream before treatment, and premium fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic) that provides additional comfort during injection. Some clients describe the sensation as a pinch or pressure rather than sharp pain. For those with low pain tolerance, dental blocks are available to completely numb the area.
-
How much swelling should I expect?Swelling varies significantly between individuals but is an expected part of the healing process. Most clients experience noticeable swelling for 24-72 hours, with the most significant swelling occurring the morning after treatment. Applying cold compresses, sleeping with your head elevated, and staying well-hydrated can help minimise swelling. Complete resolution typically occurs within 7-10 days, revealing your true results.
-

It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate schedule for your needs.

-
Are B12 injections safe?Yes, B12 injections are generally very safe. Side effects are rare, but may include: Mild pain or redness at the injection site Temporary nausea or dizziness Very rarely, allergic reactions Always disclose any medical conditions or allergies during your consultation.

-
How often should I get B12 shots?The recommended frequency depends on your health status: For deficiency treatment: Injections may be given weekly at first, then spaced out to monthly For general wellness or energy boost: Once every 4–6 weeks is common Your Practitioner at Hertford Cosmetics will advise the best schedule based on your needs.
-
Are vitamin injections better than oral supplements?Vitamin injections provide direct delivery of nutrients into the bloodstream, ensuring maximum absorption.They are particularly beneficial for individuals with digestive issues or those who have difficulty absorbing nutrients from food or oral supplements.
-
Who should get a B12 injection?Vitamin B12 injections are especially beneficial for: People with a diagnosed B12 deficiency Vegans or vegetarians (B12 is primarily found in animal products) Individuals with absorption disorders (e.g., pernicious anemia, Crohn’s disease) Those experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog, or low energy
-
Are there any risks associated with IV Vitamin Therapy?While IV Vitamin Therapy is generally safe when administered by qualified professionals, potential risks include:​ Infection at the injection site.​ Bruising or discomfort.​ Allergic reactions to ingredients.​ Imbalance of electrolytes or nutrients if not properly monitored.​ It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
-

-
What is IV Vitamin Therapy?IV Vitamin Therapy involves administering a blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip.This method ensures 100% absorption, providing immediate benefits such as enhanced energy, improved skin health, and strengthened immunity.
-
Is salicylic acid or glycolic acid peel better for oily skin?For oily skin types, salicylic acid peels are often more effective as they're oil-soluble and can penetrate deeper into pores to address excess sebum and congestion. We offer both options at our Ware clinic based on your specific skin needs
-
What strength glycolic acid peel is best for beginners?For first-time chemical peel clients, we recommend starting with a 20-30% glycolic acid peel. At Hertford Cosmetics, we begin all new clients with gentle introductory peels to assess skin tolerance before progressing to stronger formulations
-
Can chemical peels remove deep acne scars permanently?While chemical peels can significantly improve acne scarring, very deep scars may require multiple treatments or combination therapy. Medium to deep peels can provide 50-70% improvement in appropriate candidates
-
How long does skin peeling last after medium chemical peel?After a medium-strength chemical peel at our Ware clinic, visible peeling typically begins 2-3 days after treatment and lasts for 5-7 days. The entire healing process usually completes within 7-10 days
-
How do I book a chemical peel?At Hertford Cosmetics you can simply book online using Fresha or simply contact us directly.
-
Can LED light therapy help with rosacea flare-ups?Red and amber LED wavelengths can significantly reduce rosacea symptoms by calming inflammation, strengthening capillaries, and improving skin barrier function. Many of our Ware clients report fewer flare-ups with regular treatments
-
How long do LED light therapy results last for anti-aging?The collagen-boosting effects of LED therapy can last for several months, but for optimal anti-aging benefits, we recommend by-monthly maintenance treatments after completing your initial course of weekly sessions
-
Can blue light therapy make hyperpigmentation worse?Blue light specifically targets acne bacteria and doesn't typically worsen hyperpigmentation. For clients with both acne and pigmentation concerns, we often recommend combination red and blue light protocols at our Ware clinic.
-
Is LED light therapy safe during pregnancy for skin concerns?LED light therapy is generally considered safe during pregnancy as it's non-invasive and doesn't use harmful UV rays. At Hertford Cosmetics in Ware, we offer special pregnancy-safe protocols focusing on specific concerns like hormonal breakouts
-
How do I book LED light therapy?At Hertford Cosmetics you can simply book online using Fresha or simply contact us directly.
-
Does red light therapy help with wrinkles around eyes?Yes, red LED light therapy effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes by stimulating collagen production in this delicate area. The non-invasive nature makes it particularly suitable for the eye area compared to more aggressive treatments
-
How many LED light therapy sessions needed for acne improvement?Most clients with acne concerns see noticeable improvement after 4-6 weekly LED light therapy sessions. For optimal results, we recommend an initial course of 6-8 treatments followed by monthly maintenance at our Ware clinic
-
How do I book Microdermabrasion treatment?At Hertford Cosmetics you can simply book online using Fresha or simply contact us directly.
-
What to avoid before microdermabrasion facial appointment?For best results, avoid retinoids, glycolic acid, and other exfoliants 3-5 days before your appointment. Also avoid waxing, excessive sun exposure, and self-tanners in the week leading up to your treatment at our Ware clinic
-
How often should you get microdermabrasion for best results?For optimal results, we recommend microdermabrasion treatments every 2-4 weeks initially (for a series of 6-8 treatments), then monthly maintenance sessions. This schedule aligns with your skin's natural renewal cycle
-
Is microdermabrasion or hydrafacial better for large pores?Both treatments address large pores, but HydraFacial combines exfoliation with hydration and may yield better results for those with both large pores and dehydrated skin. Microdermabrasion excels at pure exfoliation and may be preferred for oilier skin types
-
How long does skin purging last after first microdermabrasion?Some clients experience skin purging (temporary breakouts as congestion surfaces) for 5-7 days after their first microdermabrasion. This is normal and typically diminishes with subsequent treatments as overall skin health improves
-
Can microdermabrasion remove blackheads permanently?While microdermabrasion effectively removes existing blackheads through exfoliation and suction, it doesn't permanently prevent new ones from forming. Regular treatments combined with proper skincare can significantly reduce blackhead formation
-
Will dermaplaning make facial hair grow back thicker or darker?No, dermaplaning only removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin without affecting the hair follicle. The hair will grow back with the same texture and colour as before, not thicker or darker
-
Can dermaplaning help with acne scars and hyperpigmentation?Dermaplaning can help improve mild acne scarring and hyperpigmentation by removing the top layer of dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover, and allowing better penetration of brightening products. For deeper scars, we recommend combining with other treatments
-
How to prepare skin before dermaplaning treatment at home?While professional treatments yield best results, we recommend arriving with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid retinol products, exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for 3-5 days before your appointment at our Ware clinic
-
Is dermaplaning better than microdermabrasion for sensitive skin?For sensitive skin types, dermaplaning is often gentler than microdermabrasion as it doesn't involve suction or abrasive crystals. At Hertford Cosmetics, we customise both treatments for sensitive skin, but dermaplaning may cause less redness and irritation
-
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after your treatment if necessary, though we recommend giving your skin a few hours to breathe if possible. Many clients find they need less makeup after dermaplaning as their skin appears more radiant and even-toned naturally.
-
How do I book Dermaplaning treatment?At Hertford Cosmetics you can simply book online using Fresha or simply contact us directly.
-
How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?For optimal results, we recommend dermaplaning treatments every 4-6 weeks, which aligns with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Our Ware aestheticians can create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin's specific needs and response to the treatment.
-
What's the difference between an enzyme peel and a traditional chemical peel?Enzyme peels work through a protein-digesting (proteolytic) process that specifically targets dead skin cells without affecting healthy tissue. Traditional chemical peels use acids (like glycolic, salicylic, or TCA) that break the bonds between cells, affecting both dead and living cells to varying degrees depending on strength. Enzyme peels are generally gentler, cause less irritation, have minimal downtime, and are suitable for more sensitive skin types.
-
Will my skin actually "peel" after an enzyme peel?Unlike medium or deep chemical peels, enzyme peels typically do not cause visible peeling or flaking in most people. Some individuals might experience minor flaking 2-3 days after treatment, but this is usually subtle and easily managed with moisturiser. The exfoliation occurs primarily at a microscopic level, removing dead cells without creating noticeable shedding.
-
Can I have an enzyme peel if I have rosacea or sensitive skin?Yes, enzyme peels are often ideal for rosacea-prone and sensitive skin types because of their gentle, non-irritating nature. Your practitioner will select specific enzyme formulations with anti-inflammatory properties and adjust the protocol to accommodate sensitivity. Many clients with reactive skin who cannot tolerate other exfoliation methods respond well to enzyme treatments.
-
Can I have an enzyme peel if I'm pregnant?Enzyme peels are generally considered one of the safer professional treatments during pregnancy, as they use naturally derived ingredients and don't penetrate deeply into the skin. However, always consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing any treatment during pregnancy. If approved, enzymes derived from fruits like papaya and pumpkin are typically recommended for prenatal skincare.
-
How often should I get an enzyme peel?For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart initially. Once your desired improvements are achieved, maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks help sustain results. Treatment frequency may be adjusted based on your skin's response and seasonal changes. Enzyme peels are gentle enough that they can be performed more frequently than traditional chemical peels.
-
Is an enzyme peel painful?Enzyme peels are known for being comfortable treatments. Most clients experience a mild warming or tingling sensation during application, but not pain. The sensation is typically described as pleasant rather than uncomfortable. If you have extremely sensitive skin, your practitioner can adjust the formulation or application time to ensure comfort.
-
Will an enzyme peel help with acne?Enzyme peels can be beneficial for acne-prone skin by removing dead cells and debris that contribute to pore congestion. Certain enzyme formulations also have natural antibacterial properties. While enzyme peels alone may not be sufficient for severe acne, they can be an excellent complementary treatment within a comprehensive acne management plan. They're particularly helpful for mild acne and preventing future breakouts.
-
How soon will I see results from an enzyme peel?Most clients notice immediate improvement in skin brightness, smoothness, and clarity following the treatment. Your skin typically has a healthy "glow" right away. More significant improvements in texture, tone, and minor concerns develop progressively with a series of treatments, usually becoming more noticeable after 2-3 sessions.
-
How much does a professional Hydrafacial cost?At Hertford Cosmetics our Hydrafacial treatment cost£100 for a 45 minute treatment experience including a luxurious six step bespoke treatment that features hydrodermabrasion, ultrasonic extractions, radio frequency, ultrasonic wand, cold ice globe & oxygen infusion.
-
Can Hydrafacial be combined with other treatments?Yes, Hydrafacial works well in combination with other treatments such as LED light therapy, dermaplaning, or certain non-invasive skin tightening procedures. At Hertford Cosmetics, during the pre-treatment consultation we can recommend the most effective treatment combinations for your skin goals.
-
Is Hydrafacial painful?No, the Hydrafacial is known for being painless and even relaxing. Many clients describe the sensation as refreshing, similar to a light massage. The extraction process, which can be uncomfortable with traditional facials, is gentle and painless with Hydrafacial's suction technology.
-
How many Hydrafacial treatments are recommended?For optimal results, we recommend a series of monthly treatments. Many clients include Hydrafacial in their regular skincare maintenance routine for consistent skin health and appearance.
-
Is Hydrafacial customisable for different skin concerns?Yes, one of the key benefits of Hydrafacial is its adaptability. Your treatment can be customised with different boosters and protocols to address specific concerns such as aging, pigmentation, congestion, or sensitivity.
-
Is Hydrafacial suitable for all skin types?Yes, one of the most significant advantages of Hydrafacial is its suitability for virtually all skin types and concerns. The treatment can be customised with different boosters and intensity levels for sensitive skin, oily and congested skin, dry skin, aging skin, and even rosacea-prone skin.
-
How is Hydrafacial different from traditional facials?Hydrafacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration using patented Vortex-Fusion® technology that is gentler yet more effective than traditional methods. The treatment delivers immediate results with no downtime.
-
What is a Hydrafacial?Everything you need to know about Hydrafacial: Our comprehensive guide explains what Hydrafacial is, the benefits, treatment steps, recovery & expected results. Read our Fact Sheet on What is a Hydrafacial
-
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?Yes, microneedling works excellently as a standalone treatment but can also enhance results when combined with other procedures such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), specialised serums, LED light therapy, or certain laser treatments. We can discuss this with you during your consultation and recommend the most effective combination therapy for your specific concerns.
-
Is microneedling painful?With proper topical numbing applied 30-45 minutes before treatment, most clients describe the sensation as tolerable with minimal discomfort. You may feel more sensitivity in areas with thinner skin or near bone, such as the forehead or jawline.
-
Is there any downtime with microneedling?Most clients experience 24-72 hours of redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. Social downtime is typically 1-3 days, depending on treatment intensity and individual healing response. Many clients return to normal activities the following day, though makeup should be avoided for at least 24 hours.
-
What's the difference between professional microneedling and at-home derma rollers?Professional microneedling devices penetrate deeper (up to 2.5mm vs 0.25-0.5mm for at-home devices), use sterile medical-grade needles, provide adjustable depth settings, and create more consistent penetration. Professional treatments are performed in a controlled, sterile environment by trained practitioners, significantly reducing risks while delivering superior results.
-
How much does professional microneedling cost?Professional microneedling treatments can range from £150-£300 per session, depending on the areas treated and whether additional therapies like PRP or specialised serums are included. At Hertford Cosmetics we believe in making our treatments as accesible as possible which is why our microneedling treatments start from £70.
-
How long do microneedling results last?Results can last from 6 months to several years, depending on your skin concern, age, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Collagen production continues for up to 6 months after your treatment series. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help preserve and enhance your results.
-
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?Yes, microneedling is considered one of the safer options for darker skin tones compared to many laser treatments, as it doesn't use heat or light that can trigger pigmentation changes. At Hertford Cosmetics we will adjust protocols appropriately to minimise any risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
-
How many sessions will I need?Most clients require 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. More severe concerns like deep acne scarring may require additional sessions. Following your pre-treatment consultation we will discuss and agree a customised treatment plan based on your specific goals and skin condition.
