One session, or a course?

Some treatments work in a single visit, others build over a course. Here is what needs what, so you know what to expect, with our Southport team.

Understanding courses and sessions

A common question is how many sessions a treatment needs. Some, like filler, work in a single visit; others, like polynucleotides, build their effect over a course. Knowing which is which helps you plan, and this guide explains it, part of our treatments in Southport.

Which Treatment Is Right For You?

Treatments like dermal filler that give an immediate result in one visit, sometimes with a review to fine-tune.
Result seen straight away, lasts months

This is suitable for those looking for:

Immediate volume or shape change
Regenerative treatments like polynucleotides and skin boosters that build their effect over several sessions a few weeks apart.
Course of 2 to 3, then maintenance

This is suitable looking for:

Skin quality and regeneration

Immediate versus building results

Single-session treatments give an immediate result you see the same day. Course-based treatments work by stimulating your skin, so the effect builds gradually and needs a few sessions to develop. Neither is better; it reflects how the treatment works, and we always explain what to expect before you start.

What to expect from your treatment

If you want an immediate change, single-session treatments like filler deliver straight away. If you are improving skin quality, expect a course over a few weeks, with results that build and last. We tell you exactly how many sessions your plan needs at consultation, so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Usually a course of two to three, spaced three to four weeks apart, then maintenance every six to nine months.
Dermal filler gives an immediate result in one visit, sometimes with a review. Anti-wrinkle also works from a single treatment.
Regenerative treatments work by stimulating your skin to rebuild, so the effect develops gradually over several sessions.

At consultation we assess your skin and goals and tell you exactly how many sessions your plan needs.
