Before You Book
Questions I get asked
The honest answers to the things people ask me most, both about treatments and about training. If your question is not here, send an enquiry and I will answer it properly.
Does it hurt?
Most treatments are far more comfortable than people expect. Anti wrinkle injections use tiny needles and are over quickly, and filler is carried out with numbing and, where it helps, products that already contain anaesthetic, so we keep you comfortable throughout. I will always talk you through exactly what to expect before we begin.
Will I look overdone or fake?
That is exactly what I work to avoid. Everything here is dosed conservatively and planned across the whole face so you look fresh and still like yourself rather than obviously treated. If what you actually want is an overfilled look, I am honestly not the right person for you.
How long will my results last?
It depends on the treatment, the product and your own body, so I will give you a realistic range at your consultation rather than a promise. Some treatments last a few months and others considerably longer, and honest guidance for your specific case always comes before any figure.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes for anything you have not had before or want to talk through properly. A consultation is a full assessment and an honest plan with no pressure to book anything on the day. Treatments you have already decided on can be booked directly through ThatTime.
Is there any downtime?
Most treatments let you get back to your day fairly quickly, though some redness, swelling or bruising to begin with is normal and settles over the following days. I will tell you honestly what to expect for your specific treatment so you can plan around anything important.
I have lost a lot of weight and my face looks older. Can you help?
Yes, this is one of the areas I am known for. Weight loss changes the face as the deeper support is lost, and it is restored carefully over time rather than filled all at once. We would start with a consultation and a staged plan that keeps everything in proportion.
Do I need to be a nurse or medic to train with you?
No. The Non Medic Starter Pathway is built specifically for people coming in without a medical background or evidenced needling experience, and it takes you from the very beginning to practising safely over six months. There are also advanced courses for those who are already qualified.
Are your courses actually accredited?
Yes. The Nurse Collective is a CPD accredited training provider and every course is accredited with IPHM. Training is delivered by medical professionals in small numbers, on real models, with mentorship that continues after you qualify.
