You will be asked to attend a consultation with one of our nurse prescribers, during which they will carry out a medical history check, assess the area(s) of concern and agree upon a treatment plan to suit your needs. Immediately before treatment, your practitioner will take you through the consent documents and take some pre-treatment photographs. The treatment area is cleaned, the injections can take between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on the area. Post treatment photos will be taken so you can see your results. You will then be given aftercare advice, which will also be emailed to you.

HydroMax is suitable for any skin type and they can be done from age 18 onwards. As each patient is different, some may require more ml of treatment than others. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations with you prior to treatment.

A patch test is not required for HydroMax.

Most patients do not find treatment painful as small gauge needles are used.

It is possible to experience some localised redness, tenderness, swelling, and bruising to the treatment site. Any bruising is usually minimal, redness and swelling usually resolving within a few hours after treatment.

As with all our injectable treatments, they are only carried out by our experienced nurse prescribers.

Avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen for at least 24 hours prior to treatment (unless instructed by your GP). Please avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior and where possible, attend without makeup.
