Bromelain - A digestive enzyme with anti-obesity properties, it reduces inflammation and triggers the breakdown of fat cells.  It is derived from pineapples.

Riboflavin - Also known as Vitamin B2, Riboflavin promotes fat metabolism.  It also reduces swelling following the treatment.

NEWEST Polynucleotides-HPT TM harnesses the power of DNA fragments to regenerate your skin from within, combined with the hydrating power of hyaluronic acid.  It's is a specially-formulated gel that is injected into your face, neck, and décolletage to restore radiance and freshness in mature and dehydrated skin.

NEWEST is especially suitable for mature skin.  We offer a wide range of polynucleotide treatments to address a variety of skin concerns.

Polynucleotides are DNA fragments derived from natural sources, carefully formulated to stimulate collagen production, boost cellular repair, and promote skin regeneration. These powerful molecules penetrate deep into your skin, jump-starting the rejuvenation process and restoring your complexion's vitality from within.

Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules that play a role in cellular repair and regeneration.  The treatments offered at CJA are produced by Italian pharmaceutical company Mastelli and are based on the very latest developments in skin care science.

The treatments use filtered, ultra-purified and sterilised DNA fragments and are the result of decades of scientific research and medical developments.  Rigorous testing has revealed no adverse or allergic reactions.   Polynucleotide skin boosters are the gold standard in skin regeneration treatments.

You may experience some slight bruising and swelling (as with any injectable treatment) but this will usually dissipate within a few hours.

We will give you full details of aftercare requirements and what to expect at your initial consultation.  There is no downtime following treatment, but you will need to avoid touching or washing your face for up to 4 hours and avoid make up for 12 hours.

The DNA used comes from salmon (who are not harmed in the process).   Human DNA is surprisingly similar to salmon DNA, which allows scientists to use small fractions of it to produce these highly effective treatments.  Rest assured that the DNA fractions are subject to a highly specialised filtration, sterilisation and purification process before they are used in the production serums.    Comprehensive clinical trials have revealed no adverse or allergic reactions to the treatment, including amongst fish allergy sufferers.

You should start to see improvements in your skin texture about a week to 10 days after treatment.  The full results will be visible in around 3-4 weeks.

At this point we recommend a follow-up treatment.  For best results in the long term we recommend a course of at least 3 treatments, approximately 3 weeks apart.

Laser mole removal uses intense bursts of light energy to break down the pigment within the mole.   The light energy is precisely targeted on the mole, resulting in minimal impact on the surrounding tissue and allowing healing to take place with little or no scarring.

Laser skin tag removal uses short blasts of peak power to cause ablation of the epidermis and top most layers of skin to effectively vaporise and remove the skin tag.  A numbing cream is applied before the treatment, which is quick and painless.

Lasers can be used on most parts of the body.  The SmartXide Touch laser technology used at CJA Aesthetics is ideal for treating delicate ares such as the face, neck and décolleté.   Lasers are particularly suited for use on the face and eyes as they result in less scarring than other mole and lesion removal methods (NB if you have any doubts about changes in your moles, check with your GP.  Laser mole removal is only suitable for small, benign moles.)

Treatments generally take approximately 20 minutes but this will depend on the size and number of moles or skin tags to be treated.   We will advise you on what to expect at your initial consultation.

MonaLisa Touch is a fractional CO2 laser treatment, which uses laser light to stimulate the vaginal walls.   This is delivered in pulses of energy via a probe which is gently inserted into the vagina.  The treatment prompts the vaginal tissues to regenerate, restoring thickness, elasticity and moisture levels.

Your physician will perform and gentle internal examination at your consultation to check whether your symptoms are caused by vaginal atrophy and you are a suitable candidate for treatment.  Prior to treatment starting a numbing cream will be applied to minimise any discomfort, after which the laser probe will be inserted into the vagina.   The treatment is not painful and some patients report that the energy pulses feel like bursts of vibrations.   There may be some slight discomfort afterwards, but this is usually minimal.

MonaLisa Touch treatments generally take between 5 and 10 minutes of active lasering.

No the treatment is a bit uncomfortable but not painful.  You may experience some slight discomfort afterwards although this is minimal and extensive downtime is not needed.

You will also require maintenance treatments every 12 - 18 months after that.

Following MonaLisa Touch treatment you can expect to feel a reduction in vaginal dryness and sexual intercourse should become less painful.   After the course of treatments, urinary tract problems should also improve.

MonaLisa Touch has been extensively tested and is considered to be a very safe treatment when administered by an experienced, professional provider such as CJA Aesthetics.     Although burns are a potential risk with any laser treatment, the device has been specifically designed and calibrated to avoid this.   Any after effects from treatment such as slight redness, soreness or external itching are minimal and clear quickly.

We use Botox® which is a highly diluted form of the neurotoxin protein botulinum. A minuscule amount will be expertly injected into selected muscles to temporarily relax those muscles.

Botox is commonly used to inject the horizontal lines on the forehead, the frown lines between the eyebrows, and lines around the eyes.  It can also be administered to soften lines around the mouth, to raise the corners of the eyebrows, to elevate the corners of a downturned mouth, to improve the shape of the jawline and to soften the neck.

You may also have heard of the Nefertiti Facelift which enables us to improve the appearance of sagging jowls and a saggy or crepey neck using Botox injectables.

Botox is also an effective treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and can help people who suffer from headaches and migraines.

Most people have one treatment and return for a further treatment once it wears off between three and six months.

Discomfort is kept to a minimum and we can apply a topical anaesthetic cream before treatment, if required.

Most people see the full effect around 3-10 days after the first treatment.

The effect of anti wrinkle injections usually lasts for between three and six months, after which your muscles will regain their strength. You can, of course, return for regular treatments.

Botulinum toxin type A was introduced in clinical practice in the 1970s and 1980s to treat squints and blepharospasm.  After formal trials, on April 12 2002, the FDA announced regulatory approval of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).

The cost of Botox injections depends on how many areas we are treating.  Please book in for an in-depth consultation so we can discuss your requirements and assess your suitability for treatment.  We will be able to give you a price for the treatment during your consultation.  This is a friendly, no-obligation consultation and no pressure will be applied.

EMFACE is unique, needle-free, hands-free procedure that simultaneously treats facial skin and muscles.  Each session takes just 20-minutes.

EMFACE uses Synchronized RF and HIFES™ technologies, which are applied simultaneously to affect facial skin, muscles, and connective tissue.  The end result is fewer wrinkles, more lift, all achieved naturally and without needles.

Yes, EMFACE is suitable for anyone who wants to tighten their skin, reduce wrinkles and have a firmer complexion.  Our fully qualified doctors will carry out a consultation before your treatment and advise you of any contraindications.

For other areas of the body, try EMSCULPT NEO, available at our Southampton clinic.

EMFACE and the embedded Synchronized RF & HIFES technologies have been clinically tested for safety and efficacy through nine clinical studies.

For best results, we usually recommend four 20-minute treatments, scheduled 5 - 10 days apart.  We will discuss this further with you at your initial consultation.

No.  EMFACE is a non-invasive procedure which requires no recovery or downtime afterwards.

EMFACE is a completely non-invasive procedure. Unlike a regular facelift, it does not require surgery, needles, anaesthesia, or any downtime.

It is a unique device in the aesthetic field, using Synchronized RF simultaneously with HIFES muscle stimulation to reduce wrinkles and lift facial contours.  Results are achieved in four 20-minute sessions.

Having injectables, such as dermal fillers, does not rule you out of EMFACE treatments.  Book a consultation with our Southampton aesthetics doctors and we will come up with the right treatment plan for you.

You don't need to have deep lines and wrinkles to benefit from EMFACE.  The procedure treats the deep layers of facial skin and muscles so it can be used to prevent wrinkles from developing.

No, the treatment is not painful.  Some patients even report it feeling warm and soothing.  It does feel unusual and different to any other treatment  you may have had as it causes involuntary contractions of your facial muscles.  Patients report they soon get used to this however, and there is no downtime or bruising after treatment.  Your face may be slightly red immediately after the pads are removed, but this clears within minutes.  Results are visible immediately.

Results will be visible immediately after your first treatment and these will continue to improve as  you go through your treatment course.  EMFACE stimulates the body's production of elastin and collagen in the face, so the natural lifting and smoothing effect from this will continue for weeks after the treatment course is complete.

All dermal fillers gradually biodegrade.  The length of time they last depends very much on the individual, how your body reacts and which dermal filler is used.  As a guide, lip fillers usually last between 4-6 months.  Dermal fillers in the cheeks and other facial areas may between six to 18 months.

You will experience minor discomfort during the injection of dermal fillers. Topical anaesthetics will be applied to the skin before the procedure to minimise any pain.  Our dermal fillers also contain a pre-mixed local anaesthetic.

Yes.  If you have extremely thin lips we may suggest building up your lips gradually with a few lip filler treatments over time.

Profhilo can be used to treat not only the face and neck but other areas of the body which are prone to crepey skin.

Profhilo can be used on:

• Face
• Neck
• Decolletage
• Hands
• Arms
• Knees
• Abdomen
• Any other areas with loose skin.

The treatment is suitable for men and women of all ages.

Anyone who is looking to improve the tone and appearance of tired, dull, sagging or ageing skin will benefit from a treatment.

Other than the fact that they are both administered by injection, Profhilo and Botox are completely different treatments and cannot be compared.

Anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox work on the muscles with the skin to relax them and thus reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the injection area.

By contrast, Profhilo uses hyaluronic acid injected into the skin to condition it from within.  It gathers moisture from within the body into the skin and stimulates the skin's natural production of collagen and elastin for skin that is firmer, hydrated and glowing!

Most patients do not to report any major discomfort during the procedure. Prior to your treatment we can apply some numbing cream to the treatment area if you wish.
The needle used is very fine, but you may experience a pin prick and slight stinging sensation as the Profhilo gel enters the skin.

The skin usually recovers within a few hours of treatment.  Initially, for about 3 to 4 hours after the procedure, you may notice small bumps where you’ve been injected and the hyaluronic acid has not yet fully dispersed into your skin.

You may also experience some redness, bruising or tenderness at the injection site, as is the case for all injectable treatments. This will usually clear within 24 hours.

You can normally resume usual activities immediately although you should avoid the following:

• swimming - avoid for 48 hours
• massaging the area - avoid for 24 hours
