How to get rid of dark circles

dark circles before and after surrey

If you are suffering from dark circles underneath your eyes, you are not alone. Many people have this condition which can be brought on by genetics or lifestyle.

If your dark circles are due to your lifestyle, then there are quite a few things you can do to reverse the look of them. If they are genetic, there are still treatments that can help, but it can be harder to eradicate dark circles if they are hereditary.

At The Nimmo Clinic in Cobham we have successfully worked with many patients who have not been happy with their dark under eye circles, and helped them to find ways to manage this condition and feel more confident in themselves as a result

Making lifestyle changes to reduce the look of dark circles

Healthy living is the key to looking and feeling our best.  Eating good quality fresh and whole foods, keeping hydrated, not smoking, exercising, cutting down or stopping drinking alcohol are all steps that we can take that will leave us looking better in our skin. Eliminating the causes of stress and  having a good sleep routine is also a vital part of making our skin look great and reducing those dark circles!

Hereditary dark circles may also be reduced by following a healthy lifestyle. However, if you have made lifestyle changes and are still experiencing dark circles underneath your eyes you may want to consider cosmetic treatments.

Can dark circles really be treated?

The good news is that there are treatments that will work to reduce the look of dark circles. 

Here at The Nimmo Clinic in Surrey we treat all our patients on an individual basis and take the whole face and our patient’s lifestyles into account before suggesting the best treatment plan. 

We can prescribe a range of treatments like medical grade skincare, Morpheus8, polynucleotides and dermal fillers which can all work to reduce the look of under eye dark circles. 

Medical grade skincare for dark circles

Once you have the healthy lifestyle habits in place you can make your skin look even better by investing in medical grade skincare. Medical grade skincare is clinically proven to deliver results and there are some fantastic products on the market that have been formulated specifically to target dark undereye circles.

At The Nimmo Clinic in Surrey we stock both ZO and CellDerma medical grade skincare products. We have chosen to stock these brands as we have seen the fantastic results they offer to our patients.  

What are the best eye creams for dark circles?

At The Nimmo Clinic we would recommend the following eye creams to patients who want to get rid of dark undereye circles.

ZO Skin Health Intense Eye Cream

ZO Intense Eye Cream is a targeted retinol which has optical diffusers that reduce the look of dark circles and puffiness. Not only that, but ZO Intense Eye Cream also works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to improve skin texture and overall complexion.

ZO Skin Health Growth Factor Eye Serum

If you’re looking for an eye serum that incorporates the latest, advanced ingredients you might like to try ZO Growth Factor Eye Serum. This innovative formulation removes blood pigments that can lead to dark circles, it’s detoxifying and reduces puffiness and oxidative stress. The cooling massaging design of the applicator helps improve the look of tired eyes while the serum also helps to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

CellDerma Pigment Correct

If you are hoping to achieve brighter under eyes CellDerma’s Pigment Correct Serum could be just what you are looking for. This serum is incredibly hydrating and works to reduce darker pigmentation leaving visibly brighter and more radiant skin. Unlike many other serums that target dark circles, CellDerma’s Pigment Correct tackles pre-existing pigmentation as well as preventing it.

CellDerma GF5 Next Generation

For a next generation serum from the CellDerma brand, GF5 Growth Factor Serum is not only powerful as a standalone treatment that can target dark circles but can be combined with other aesthetic treatments to really reduce the look of dark under eyes. 

At The Nimmo Clinic we have seen brilliant results from this product when it has been used in conjunction with Morpheus8 or BBL & Moxi treatment. .

Injectable treatments to reduce dark circles

There are numerous injectable treatments that can be utilised to improve the look of dark under eye circles. Many people assume that the answer to dark circles is tear trough fillers and are surprised to find out that quite often this type of filler is the last resort to tackle dark circles. 

Tear trough fillers do have their place, but you might be surprised to know that other types of injectables such as dermal cheek fillers and polynucleotides can also play a key part in tackling this specific concern.

Dermal fillers for dark under eye circles

A highly trained aesthetics doctor will assess the whole face to create a treatment plan to help reduce the look of dark circles. Dr Martin Nimmo is not only the Clinical Director at The Nimmo Clinic but he is an Advanced Trainer for the Allergan Faculty. Dr Nimmo is expertly trained in how to position dermal fillers in the exact areas of the face that will improve the look of dark circles.

treatment for dark circles in surrey

Depending on the individual patient’s face shape, dermal fillers for dark circles may need injecting in the cheek area or in the temples as a solution to improve the look of dark circles. 

Creating structure with dermal filler can get rid of dark circles and eradicate the need for tear trough fillers in some patients.

Polynucleotides for dark under eye circles

Polynucleotides are an injectable treatment that use your own unique biology to regenerate cells to improve skin health and quality. Unlike many injectable treatments, polynucleotides can be injected very close to the eye area. This makes them a good option for treating dark circles. 

Unlike dermal fillers, it takes a longer time to see the results of polynucleotide treatment. This is because when they are injected it takes time for the natural regenerative process to begin. A course of polynucleotides can improve the look of dark circles and they can also be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as with dermal fillers or laser treatment.

Tear Trough fillers for dark circles

Tear trough fillers can dramatically improve the look of dark under eye circles, however this type of filler is not suitable for every patient. The best candidate for tear trough fillers will be quite hollow in the under eye area. 

Unfortunately if your under eyes are puffy, adding filler to the area will only make it look worse. Dr Martin Nimmo is expertly trained and always offers patients at The Nimmo Clinic a full facial assessment and consultation before advising on the best course of treatment for dark circles.

Radiofrequency, Light and Laser treatments for dark circles

Nowadays, there are many new technologies that aesthetics clinics have at their disposal. At The Nimmo Clinic we are dedicated to investing in the latest devices so that we can offer our discerning patients the best treatments that are available.

We have been long term advocates of Morpheus8 treatment and, more recently, we have invested in the BBL & Moxi devices from Sciton. We have seen fantastic results when we have used these devices to treat our patients under eye areas.

BBL & Moxi treatment for dark circles

BBL and Moxi treatment are a game changer for treating the area around the eyes and getting rid of dark circles. BBL & Moxi are next generation light and laser devices. 

Not only do these treatments work really well to lighten the under eye area, but they also treat the skin quality around the eyes, tightening the skin and getting rid of wrinkles.

Our model in this before and after picture has only had one BBL & Moxi treatment to achieve these fabulous results.

Morpheus8 treatment for dark under eye circles

Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency and microneedling technology to refresh and improve skin health and quality. Morpheus8 can be used specifically to target dark under eye circles and offers amazing results. This technology not only reduces the look of dark circles, but also tightens the under eye which reduces eye bags as well, leaving the under eye area looking fresh and rejuvenated.

buy Youth Restore by CellDerma in Surrey

What are growth factors in skin care?

Growth factors are secretions from human stem cells. Human stem cells have been tried and tested in traditional medicine for decades but in the cosmetics world the stem cells used are strictly plant based. Plant based stem cells don’t offer the regenerative benefits that are found in human stem cells. 

However human growth factors can be used in cosmetic skin care and their properties make them a viable ingredient to improve skin health

What do growth factors do for the skin?

Skin care like CellDerma that contains growth factors has the advantage of being able to repair, heal and rejuvenate the skin. The growth factors in CellDerma help to boost collagen production, improve elasticity and firmness and fight the signs of ageing.

What’s the best age for anti-wrinkle injections?

botox in Cobham Surrey
If you have never had anti-wrinkle injections but you are considering this treatment, you may wonder what the best age is to get Botox? Depending on your age and skin quality, there are different factors at play that will determine when the best time for you to book for botox treatments will be.

How old do I need to be to have Botox?

The law in England means that you have to be over 18 before you can have your first anti-wrinkle treatment. If you’re under 18 it’s illegal to have these injections, even if you have permission from your parents or carer.

Should I get Botox when I turn 18?

Although Botox is approved for patients who are over 18 it doesn’t necessarily mean you should book in for this treatment as soon as you become an adult.

Many 18 years olds have the fortunes of youth on their side and with daily SPF use they won’t require anti-wrinkle injections.

There are however other Botox treatments, like masseter Botox and hyperhidrosis injections that may be suitable for younger patients

Botox can be used as a preventative treatment to stop deep lines and wrinkles forming, however at 18 many patients won’t be ready to start preventative measures for the formation of lines and wrinkles.

If you’re not sure whether you should start your Botox injections just yet, you should book for a consultation with a medically qualified aesthetics practitioner who can advise you of the best course of action.

At The Nimmo Clinic in Cobham, Surrey we are both CQC and Saveface registered and we put our patients safety and wellbeing at the forefront of everything we do. We will give honest advice and always put your best interest at the forefront of what we do.

When should I get Botox?

Many people will start to see the signs of ageing in their late 20’s and early 30’s. If you notice crows feet, frown lines and lines across the top of your forehead, and you are wanting to treat them it is best to get anti-wrinkle treatment before these lines become too ingrained. In this way Botox will work to prevent deeper lines and relax the muscles, keeping your skin smooth and looking youthful.

Am I too old for Botox?

You are never too old to get your first Botox injections. People often decide that they want to have their first treatment later on in life.

It is fine to leave it until you’re older before you start this treatment however you may not get the same effect from the treatment if you already have very deep set lines and wrinkles.

Botox can’t get rid of deep set wrinkles, but can soften them. If you have deep set lines and wrinkles and you think you might have gone beyond where anti-wrinkle injections can help you, all is not lost. There are many aesthetic treatments nowadays that can reduce deep set lines and wrinkles.

At The Nimmo Clinic in Surrey we invest in the latest treatments and technologies to help patients of any age to rejuvenate their skin health and skin quality.

We would welcome you to book a consultation where we can give you the very best advice on the right treatments for your specific skin needs.

The Power Of Polynucleotides: A Safe And Versatile Option At The Nimmo Clinic

Polynucleotides Chelsea Cobham Surrey London Nimmo Clinic

The world of aesthetic treatments is evolving all the time. At the Nimmo Clinic, it’s our job to evaluate new treatments to understand how they can best be applied to your personal aesthetic regime, and to make sure that you get the right types of treatment to help you achieve your wellbeing journey. 

It’s also our duty to keep you updated, so that you can make informed decisions too. One of the recent breakthroughs we’re most excited about is polynucleotides, also often called PDRN (after polydeoxyribonucleotide, one of this family of biopolymers).  

This cutting-edge therapy is rapidly gaining popularity for its ability to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. In this clear and simple guide, we’ll discover what polynucleotides are, how they work, and why we’re confident to offer them at The Nimmo Clinics in Cobham, Surrey and Chelsea, London. 

What Are Polynucleotides? 

Polynucleotides are a type of biopolymer. They crop up everywhere across our biology – your DNA itself is a polynucleotide with a very important biological function. In the context of aesthetic medicine, we’re interested in polynucleotides because they are long and flexible and stimulate some of the processes we typically lose with aging. The polynucleotides we use are derived from salmon DNA to safely mimic our human stimulation of cell production. They are safe, effective, and versatile, making them a popular choice for patients and something which we as practitioners are happy to recommend. 

How Do Polynucleotides Work? 

Polynucleotides stimulate the tissue regeneration and rejuvenation which we typically lose as we age. When administered into the skin through injections or topical application, polynucleotides promote the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, all of which are essential ingredients for more youthful and radiant skin. That means they’re a multipurpose tool, attacking the signs of aging on many fronts: 

  • Collagen Boost: Polynucleotides trigger the body’s natural collagen synthesis, leading to firmer and more elastic skin. 
  • Cellular Repair: They promote cell growth and repair, helping to fade fine lines, wrinkles, scars, reduce hyperpigmentation, and reduce inflammation. 
  • Improved Blood Flow: Polynucleotides enhance blood circulation, which in turn increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells. 
  • Hydration: They help the skin retain moisture, resulting in a more plump and hydrated appearance. 
  • Enhance cell production: Polynucleotides enhance the production of fibroblasts, cells that secrete collagen and support the structural strength of tissue, including skin tissues. 
  • Enhance cell healing: They support angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels; which in turn improves the capacity for skin cells to heal. 

Why Choose Polynucleotide Therapy? 

At The Nimmo Clinic, our philosophy is that aesthetics should gently enhance your natural appearance by working in harmony with the individual characteristics of your skin. We look for treatments that you can trust for optimised skin health and long-term well-being. Here’s why polynucleotides are worth your consideration: 

  • Natural and Safe: Polynucleotides are derived from salmon DNA, making them biocompatible and safe for most skin types.  
  • Versatile: This treatment can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, hands, and even the scalp, making it appropriate and well-tested for a wide range of skincare challenges which may be worrying you. 
  • Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical procedures, polynucleotide therapy at The Nimmo Clinic requires little to no downtime, so you can get back to your normal daily routine almost immediately. 
  • Long-Lasting Results: Many patients report seeing improvements that last for several months, with a series of treatments offering even longer-lasting results and cumulative benefits. 

Is Polynucleotide Therapy Right for You? 

Like every aesthetic treatment, what’s right for you depends on your individual needs and circumstances. 

Polynucleotide therapy is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including: 

  • Fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Sagging skin 
  • Scars and stretch marks 
  • Dull or uneven skin tone 
  • Hair loss or thinning 

It is also broadening the applications of aesthetics in new ways, which may mean you can make improvements to your look that were previously just not available. Because polynucleotides are highly biocompatible, they are safe and effective for treating eyelid skin, for example, for which more aggressive or invasive treatments are generally non-viable. We are also finding polynucleotides appropriate for skin on the neck, which has typically been a difficult area to treat in the past. 

Our qualified medical team will be delighted to assess your unique needs and work with you to decide whether polynucleotides belong as part of your well-being and skincare regime. 

In short… 

Polynucleotides offer a natural and effective way to rejuvenate your skin and enhance your natural beauty. We’re confident that they are low-risk, highly effective and a powerful addition to our range of treatments. 

Our team is highly trained in administering polynucleotides, so please feel free to schedule a consultation at The Nimmo Clinic at our Cobham, Surrey, or Chelsea, London practices; to explore the possibilities and embark on your journey to more radiant and youthful skin.

Morpheus8: A Two-In-One Treatment At The Nimmo Clinic

Morpheus8 Chelsea Cobham Surrey London Nimmo Clinic

When it comes to achieving smooth, youthful, and rejuvenated skin, you’ve got plenty of options. We spend the majority of our time with clients helping identify the right treatments for their wellbeing ambitions and skin type. 

But sometimes we can have the benefit of two treatments in one; and that’s where one of the more cutting-edge approaches, Morpheus8, is gaining a positive reputation with our clients. 

Introducing Morpheus8 

Morpheus8 is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment which uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology combined with micro-needling to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. 

It’s approved for use in a wide range of skin concerns; so whether you’re dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or sagging skin, Morpheus8 is worth your consideration. It’s well tested too; it can be found in advanced aesthetics practices across the US and UK. And it’s also versatile: at The Nimmo Clinic, we’re using Morpheus8 to target and rejuvenate skin not just in the face but also the neck, eyes, abdomen, arms, legs, décolletage and knees. 

Why Morpheus8? 

  • Skin Tightening: Morpheus8’s RF technology is proven to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer and tighter skin. 
  • Wrinkle Reduction: Say goodbye to fine lines and wrinkles as Morpheus8 smooths and rejuvenates your skin. 
  • Acne Scar Improvement: Morpheus8 can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, leaving you with a smoother complexion. 
  • Minimal Downtime: As a non-invasive treatment, Morhpeus8 requires minimal downtime, so you can get back to your daily routine more quickly. 
  • Long-Lasting Results: Morpheus8’s collagen-building effects continue to improve your skin over time, for a cumulative positive effect. After exhaustive evaluation, we now also use Cellderma’s GF5 serum (see below) to enhance your results even further. 

And as with all treatments, there are some applications for which Morpheus8 is particularly well suited. Its microneedling penetrates deeper into the skin compared to traditional microneedling devices, so it could be ideal if you’re concerned about particularly deep and stubborn lines or wrinkles.  

If you’re a person of colour, you may find it helpful to consider Morpheus8, as it’s effective for a wide range of skin types; whereas some laser treatments come with a risk of hyperpigmentation. 

Why Choose The Nimmo Clinic for Morpheus8 treatment? 

Expertise: The Nimmo Clinic is a leading aesthetics practice with a reputation built on professionalism at the cutting edge of practice.  We have years of experience, a commitment to delivering natural-looking results, and are fully trained and qualified in the latest technologies, including Morpheus8. Morpheus8 treatment requires the use of complex equipment and you should only accept care from an appropriately trained professional. 

Care that’s built around you: Your skin is unique and should be treated as such. Morpheus8 is one option among many and, with us, your journey to radiant skin will begin with a comprehensive and impartial consultation; leading to a truly personalised treatment plan – not an off-the-shelf solution! 

Tried and tested, bringing the best together: We have recently introduced the Cellderma skincare range into our surgery because it’s been clinically evaluated and created from a medically-led perspective from the outset. We have found that their GF5 serum speeds up the recovery time after Morpheus8 treatments, and – with an at-home application for 4-6 weeks after treatment – yields impressively further improved results. We always work from a health and wellbeing standpoint, and when we find solutions that complement each other, it’s a pleasure to be able to recommend them to you. 

State-of-the-Art Facilities: The Nimmo Clinic’s facilities in Cobham and Chelsea are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to provide you with the highest level of care and comfort during your Morpheus8 treatment.  

Under the skilled guidance of the experts at The Nimmo Clinic, Morpheus8 treatments are comfortable and efficient. Your care team will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. You may experience some redness and mild swelling after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few days. 

To schedule a consultation where we can explain Morpheus8 alongside all your other options, contact The Nimmo Clinic today

Revitalise Your Skin: Hydrafacial Treatments At The Nimmo Clinic

Hydrafacial Chelsea Cobham Surrey London Nimmo Clinic

You could be forgiven for thinking that HydraFacial somehow involves a jet of water. If that was it, we’d invite you to have a good long shower in the comfort of your own home!  

We’re impressed with HydraFacial because it’s a safe, low-intensity and non-invasive facial treatment that still manages to pack in cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection processes; all in one session. That makes it a quick and effective way to achieve glowing, radiant skin, without downtime.  

And each of these components can be customised to truly meet your beauty needs: 

  • Vortex Cleansing and HydroPeel Exfoliation: The treatment begins with a vortex-like wand which we use to cleanse the top layer of skin and remove dead cells. It’s a gentle exfoliation – similar to microdermabrasion, but less abrasive. 
  • Gentle Peel Mix: We apply a peel mix of glycolic and salicylic acids to your skin. This helps us to go deeper, loosening deep pore debris and dirt which your ordinary washing regime can’t reach.  
  • Vortex Extraction: The HydraFacial device uses vortex suction to painlessly remove blackheads and other impurities in your pores. 
  • Vortex Fusion: In this step, we rehydrate the skin with a serum rich in antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. This comes with all the benefits of rehydration you’d expect: not just plumping up your skin but also promoting elasticity and building your antioxidant defence against pollutants. 
  • Protection and Hydration: Finally we’ll top your skincare off with moisturizers and sun protection, keeping the active serum deep in your skin for longer. 

Why choose a HydraFacial? 

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us for personalised advice – you should always pick treatments because you have confidence that they will meet your needs. That said, in our experience, HydraFacial has some standout benefits. 

Firstly, as we’ve already hinted, each of the elements in a HydraFacial treatment can be tailored to your unique skin type and concerns. Many of our clients just want to refresh and rejuvenate – and that’s fine! But if you’re concerned about specific conditions – acne or fine lines, for example – our skilled practitioners can dial the processes up or down to target your skin with precision. 

Second, unlike many skincare treatments that require patience, HydraFacial delivers instant results. You’ll walk out of The Nimmo Clinic’s serene environment ready to face the outside world with a radiant and dewy complexion. You’ll feel the difference straight away. 

And that feeling will be good, too! HydraFacial is gentle and soothing, making it suitable for all skin types. So you won’t need to worry about the discomfort and redness associated with other more invasive or abrasive facial treatments.  

Why The Nimmo Clinic? 

For us, aesthetics is a blend of clinical professionalism and personal experience.  

In clinical terms, our team is dedicated to enhancing your natural beauty and overall wellbeing based on some fundamental principles. We recommend treatments because they boost your body’s own processes and defences: we work with your body, not against it.  

And we take a holistic approach, so that as well as looking your best, you’ll feel your best, too. Many people first get in touch because they want solutions to a specific concern – often it’s taken months of soul-searching to have the confidence to reach out to us. We recognise this, and in our consultations we’ll work together to understand your skincare needs from every angle. 

Our clinically-led approach has been recognised by the industry: we are one of the select few providers able to offer the state-of-the-art HydraFacial “wet diamond” tip. 

In terms of your experience with us – particularly for gentler, non-invasive treatments like the HydraFacial – we want your time with us to be supremely relaxing. Our two clinics in Cobham, Surrey, and Chelsea in the heart of London are both oases of luxury and comfort. Because we want all of you to feel pampered – not just your skin! 

Want to go even further? 

We’re committed to offering the best pathway to better-looking skin and we’ve invested in world class technologies to do so. We therefore also offer Hydratite – that’s HydraFacial with the addition of radio frequency penetration for improved collagen stimulation to address skin laxity. 

It’s a testament to the gentle nature of HydraFacial that add-on processes like Hydratite are viable. As always, what’s right for you depends on your specific skin type, age and other factors, so don’t make a decision before your informal, no obligation consultation. 

On your side, by your side 

Whatever path you choose, our team will be with you every step of the way. HydraFacial is an excellent first-time treatment; a transformative experience to rejuvenate your skin and boost your confidence.

Skincare Chelsea Cobham Surrey London Nimmo Clinic

We all want flawless and radiant skin, but there are no shortcuts to maintaining it: to keep a youthful appearance you need to look after your skin. That’s why we promote overall skin health and put our medical knowledge to work to do so. At The Nimmo Clinic, with two convenient centres located in Cobham, Surrey and Chelsea, London, skincare is a profession and science takes centre stage. 

Why Skincare Matters 

Above all, of course Healthy Skin is Confidence. Clear, glowing skin boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. It can make you feel more comfortable and beautiful in your own skin (literally!) – and our approach is built on promoting your wellbeing.  

But a holistic skincare regime has other benefits, too: 

  • Protection and Defense: Your skin is your everyday barrier against environmental toxins, pollutants, and harmful UV rays. Proper skincare helps fortify this defence mechanism. 
  • Anti-Aging: A well-thought-out skincare routine can slow down the aging process, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. 
  • Prevention of Skin Issues: Regular skincare can prevent common issues like acne, dryness, and redness, helping you avoid costly and time-consuming treatments in the future. 

Our Signature Treatments 

The Nimmo Clinic is a trusted name in dermatology and skincare. We’ve built our reputation on helping our clients achieve their skin goals with personalised advice and clinical excellence. 

So while the list below will give you a good idea of the options available (and we’ve invested heavily in the latest technologies to give you the widest possible choice in aesthetics), you can always count on our expert advice and a holistic treatment pathway to cater to your precise skin type and concerns. 

  • HydraFacial: a non-invasive skincare treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and extraction to rejuvenate the skin and improve its overall appearance. An excellent first step.

A holistic approach to positive ageing

Anti Wrinkle Treatments Martin Nimmo Clinic London 1

When it comes to botox and fillers, it’s essential to consider the face as a whole as opposed to treating features in isolation. 

Whilst we acknowledge the main areas you wish to focus on, we also believe in the importance of understanding how you want to feel, whether this be to look less tired, less angry, or more contoured.

The importance of a consultation

Sometimes as a patient it can be difficult to know exactly where your areas of concern are in order to achieve your desired look. For example, one patient may believe that frown lines are the area of concern and that they need botox to treat this, yet their end goal is to look less ‘saggy’ or tired. During their consultation with Dr. Martin, they may discover that filler or another device based treatment is a more appropriate solution – the sagginess is likely due to volume loss, and so there is a need for replacement of volume with a treatment plan bespoke to the individual patient’s needs.

We treat faces, not features

We believe that each face should receive an individualised approach. Some clinics offer filler packages consisting of specific quantities in specific areas, such as lips, cheeks, and jawlines. This risks over-treatment of specific areas and can produce an unnatural-looking and unbalanced result. At The Nimmo Clinic, we require each individual to have a detailed examination prior to their treatment in order to provide appropriate treatment to address their immediate concerns and plan long-term maintenance. It is essential that you find an injector with experience who understands how to create naturally proportioned aesthetics for each face they are treating – there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution.

It is important to undergo a consultation with an expert who will listen to your concerns and create a logical but conservative treatment plan. 

A holistic approach

It may seem daunting if, for example, you are going to have 5ml of filler injected – this is the equivalent to 1 teaspoon. However, when you put this total quantity into perspective, an experienced medical professional at the Nimmo Clinic will distribute this around the face to produce a harmonious result. A less experienced injector elsewhere may be inclined to treat a singular feature within their patient, such as the lips. If the lips are done in isolation, without treating the face as a whole, in many cases this will only draw attention to the lips upon completion and give a fake appearance.

Our experienced team want to promote positive ageing, not simply hiding one’s age, but instead allowing our patients to be the best version of themselves.
