Botox & Cosmetic Injections in Hertford

Anti-wrinkle injections (Botox) typically last 3–4 months on the first treatment. With regular maintenance, many clients find results extend to 4–5 months as the muscle becomes trained over time. The exact duration depends on the area treated, your metabolism, lifestyle factors, and product dosage.

Most clients describe a brief sharp pinch — comparable to a hair-pin prick — at each injection site. The needles used are very fine and the procedure is quick (10–20 minutes for 3 areas). No topical anaesthetic is typically needed for anti-wrinkle injections. Lip filler is more sensitive, so we apply numbing cream 20 minutes beforehand as standard.

Injectable treatments are safe when performed by a qualified, experienced practitioner working within a regulated prescriber pathway. At QT, all injectable treatments comply fully with UK 2023 regulations, are carried out by a Level 7 qualified practitioner, and hyaluronidase is kept on-site for filler emergencies. We always begin with a medical consultation to check your suitability.

Botox (botulinum toxin) relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles — lines that appear when you move your face. It does not add volume. Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to add volume and structure — they treat static lines (present at rest), hollow areas, and thin lips. Many clients benefit from a combination of both, which we can advise on in consultation.

Profhilo is a bio-remodelling injectable — not a traditional filler. It contains a very high concentration of hyaluronic acid that spreads under the skin (it does not sit in one place), stimulating your own collagen and elastin production. The result is improved skin quality, hydration, and elasticity rather than added volume. It is ideal for clients who want to address lax, crepey, or dull skin rather than specific lines or volume loss.

Polynucleotides (also called PDRN or PN) are a regenerative injectable treatment derived from purified DNA fragments. They work by activating cellular repair and regeneration pathways — particularly beneficial for under-eye hollowing and dark circles, fine skin texture, post-inflammatory redness, and skin quality in general. Results build over 3–6 sessions and are extremely well tolerated. They are one of the fastest-growing aesthetic treatments globally in 2025–2026.
